Book 4 brings the first three books together, in a tough tragic time for Storm, but we must not forget that the weave of romance is deep in the Hawke Family. Storm must deal with the death in the family that has struck her so tough, in the midst of getting her life back together. Her life is indeed in shambles, however she runs into yet another beautiful man in this series of books. Landon is escaping his own personal hell and comes across the beautiful Storm. Their lives become intertwined and their own love story ensues. A chance meeting at a party brings this unlikely pair together, and their bond brings much more drama to the family than ever before! This was a really emotional book!
This book brought out so many emotions. I laughed, cried and boy did I cry. This was a book that hit my emotional core.
We all know Storm lost her husband Ben in an arson fire at club THREE, and this book is the continuation of her story.
Storm is an absolute mess and all the Hawkes are trying so hard to bring her back into the world but it is a stranger that actually gives her moments of peace.
Landon is running from his life in Chicago to make a fresh start. At a BDSM club party he is alurred by Storm and the feelings radiating off of her. The sadness and emptiness make approach her. They are both not looking for anything. She accepts an offer to dance from him and she is shocked to find she smiles and enjoys the moments in his arms.
This is a story of hidden pasts and guilt and so much more.

Storm was already a well developed, put together young mother. Storm is one of the older siblings in the Hawke family, and she always has her family for support. When she finally starts to make calls for her own happiness, the plot twists begin. Read this book if you like romance, secrets, and the rebuilding of a character.
Love happens when your ready or not. If it’s meant to be fate will intervene. Broken people tend to heal together is this story to a tee. This is my favorite from the whole Hawke series.
Building Storm is so much about rising from the ashes. It’s about losing everything, being broken, and finding out that when you think you can’t go on there’s a rainbow behind the clouds.
The story brings together two people who are both broken and similar but different in ways. Two people who for all intents and purposes should be running away from feelings. What starts out as just some good old-fashioned banging quickly turns into two people you are rooting for.
What Storm has already had to endure coupled with what else she ends up enduring throughout the story will break your heart, but also let you in to see just how much inner strength this woman has no matter what storms are engulfing her life.
Landon is a man clearly dealing with his own troubled past and storms. He somehow is able to use that to help Storm in ways she doesn’t realize. In the process I think he finds some of his own healing that maybe he didn’t realize he needed and deserved.
As with any good romantic suspense story, the secrets are bound to come out and you better hold on to your seat for the crying, the shock, and the pure holy heck moments,
Bringing other characters to the forefront like Saint and Byron make the story even more enticing. As always I love that this author brings all of the Hawke family in. While reading this series the only thing I would love to maybe see is a prequel that gives us much more background to Antonia and the origins of the Hawke family. Just as in book 3 this story has so much more storytelling than books one and two it’s exciting to see the incredible growth of this author from book one to this book and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one. I highly recommend reading the series in order to get the most fulfillment out of your reading pleasure.
Building Storm, by Gwyn McNamee, is the fourth book in the Hawke Family series. This is a contemporary romance that fits well within the series, but holds its own, as well. Storm is such a strong character even though it may not appear so. I found this character to be amazing and the development and growth that occurred outstanding. The continued overlap of characters from previous novels in the series makes this story more fulfilling and deep overall. The chemistry is this book just sizzled every time Storm and Landon where together. It was magical and absolutely magnetic. The drama was perfect and added just that right amount of something more to make this story great.

Building Storm is the fourth instalment of the Hawke Family series. Every book in this series has brought the drama and this one is no exception. I am a huge fan of this series and the characters it has created, so to say I was excited for this read is an understatement. This book has it all: drama, sexiness, love and a huge amount of emotion. I loved this story and think it is the perfect ending to the series.
At the end of the previous book, Stone Sober, I wasn’t sure how Storm was going to cope. I was excited to read her story but also nervous, as I knew it was going to be an emotional journey. Not only was she dealing with a tragic loss, she was also coming to terms with the new, difficult, relationship she has wit her brother Stone. This was one of the things I was most excited to read about, as I really couldn’t see how she would be able to forgive him and move on. Her relationships with all of her family and central to this book and I loved seeing the whole family together, especially with the inclusion of new boy, Landon! He is exactly what Storm is trying to avoid and yet the instant connection they have is crazy. He is so intense and it completely throws her, which was so much fun to read!
Aside from all the drama with the Hawke family, which there is an abundance of, Landon brings his own problems to the table. We learn pretty early on that he has some serious issues with his dad, but we don’t learn the truth of it for quite a while. I loved how well this was drawn out, as the little hints along the way had me guessing what had happened. There is a pretty dramatic ending so I won’t ruin it for you but it is the perfect conclusion to this series. I am gutted that it’s all over!
This series took me completely by surprise. From the first huge plot twist in Savage Collision, I found myself hooked on these characters and their lives. Storm’s story really hit me in the heart and I have grown to completely love her; is she allowed to be my favourite female character? This is a must read for fans of this series. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Building Storm- A Hawke Family Novel (The Hawke Family Book 4), by Gwyn McNamee. This is the fourth book in the Hawke Family Series. I fell in love with this author and this series from the first page of the first book. I have been waiting to read Storm’s story. This book had me hooked especially when Landon came into the picture. Their pull to each other was magical. They were both emotional wrecks that needed each other to heal. I both laughed and cried while reading this book!!! I absolutely love Gwyn’s books and can not wait for more!!!!

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4)
By Gwyn McNamee
5 +++++++ Stars
So I have done a bit of binge reading…I had only read Savage Collision before this book was released so could not read this one till I completed the other two and now I have a bonafide Hawke Family hangover and am so so sad that I don’t have another to move on to. I love this family and all those that have come along and joined it. Each story is unique and has something different to offer but the one constant throughout is the family ties which is one of my favorite things in my books. Then of course there’s the way this author twists these stories and you just sit there not knowing what is going to happen or when it’s going to happen. This one had me lost on the impending twist, I usually have some idea of what might happen but this one threw me and for some reason I didn’t see it coming till it was obvious.
My heart was broken in two at the end of Stone Sober and it didn’t mend till quite a ways into this one. That’s one of the reasons I love this author so so much, when I read her books I just know I’m in for an emotional ride and when that ride ends it always leaves me wanting so much more. I know this can’t be it…There’s more story to tell for this family especially with characters that have appeared back and you just know there’s more drama ahead and I for one CAN NOT WAIT!!
Do not even attempt to read these books out of order…It will not work and besides this author is brilliant and you don’t want to miss a single word 🙂

Building Storm: A Hawke Family Novel by Gwyn McNamee Five Stars
Building Storm is the fourth book in The Hawke Family series by Gwyn McNamee. This series needs to be read in order because one book follows the next. This is such a great series, you won’t want to miss any of the five star stories. That being said this is my absolute favorite book by Ms. McNamee and the best story I have read over the past year. Storm and Landon’s story is so emotional. They have both lost loved ones or been hurt by those they loved. This is truly an amazing story that you won’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book, series and author and can’t wait to see what Ms. McNamee has in store for us next.

Building Storm is tear jerking book four in the Hawke Family series by Gwyn McNamee. I knew from the blurb for this book it was going to be an emotional one. I was not wrong at all!! I am endlessly surprised by how an author can continuously produce these stories of such high quality and content, time and time again. They have my respect and appreciation for all the work that goes into each story. You can always tell the ones that leave it all on the pages for us lucky readers to witness. I am in awe of the stunning impact these stories have on me and the memories that will stay with me while I am on this earth.
Storm knows tragedy and pain, as does Landon. They have scars so deep, there is no end to them. Intensity and strange events have them drawn to each other, but for the physical connection, nothing more. I love when they think they are fooling us. They can be in denial all they like, but they will find that peace together. I will not have it any other way! The more they fight, the more inevitable it becomes. Landon is stubborn, and does not ever give up on Storm. Storm breaks my heart with what she has endured, that all I want is her to find that much deserved happiness. The emotional turmoil was relentless, but those moments of intense passion and connecting with another, was blinding in its beauty.
Building Storm is the final story in the Hawke Family series. It was agonising to read the last word of the final chapter, but an immeasurable pleasure to have been on this journey with all these complex,crafty, flawed and entertaining characters. This series is one I will read many more times. An unforgettable series. 5 stars.

This is book 4 of the Hawke Family series. I have read all the other stories in this series, and this story definitely didn’t disappoint. This story was very well done. I was hooked from the first page until the very end. I really cannot wait to see what Gwyn McNamee has in store for us for future stories in this series.
In the other stories, we really didn’t get to know Storm very well. However, Storm experienced such trauma and change in such a short period of time that it would have been impossible for her to be the same. Storm is finding herself again. She stubborn, fierce, and stronger than she realizes. Now for Landon, he is extremely patient and understanding. I feel that Gwyn really wrote someone special for Storm!
Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4) Gwyn McNamee just blew me out of the water. I thought Stone was my favourite and now Building Storm has surpassed my expectations. Gwyn is an amazing writer and and I always know I am in safe hands when I read one of her books. This story I devoured in one sitting, even though I had to get up for work the next day I absolutely could not set it aside. I was so wrapped up in the story time was gone before I even came up for air. Gwyn knows just the right ingredients to weave together to give you an experience you will not forget. Your heart will be pumping and jumping out of your chest and your emotions running all over the place. I felt as though I was the one in the story as I felt it all. I laughed, I cried and sobbed, my sorrow and love was real, my heart broke and at times I could not breathe.It is as beautiful as it is dark, it is as wonderful as it is sad and it is raw and powerful. The complexity of the characters and their lives and the plot is a work of art.
There will be no spoilers on this review as the story speaks for itself. There are a multiple of other books I can see from some of the other characters in this series and I really, really can not wait to see where Gwyn may take us.
This is the most amazing story that no one should miss. It is brilliant.

Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee is a five star novel. This novel is the fourth installment to the Hawke Family series. First off, I was drawn to these novels because of their amazingly hot covers. I love the black and white images and how the titles have everything to do with the character the author has centered that book around. This author has a masterful way of drawing the reader into her story and making you feel like you could be a part of this family as well. There is so much drama and heat between the characters that you will find you cannot put it down. When Storm realizes she is on her own, she is next to done for. She has no idea how she is going to keep on living and raise their daughter. She also knows what it was like growing up with her mom and promises that somehow, she will figure this out so that her daughter doesn’t have to grow up with a mother who had that look about her all the time also. It might take a while, but she will find herself again. I cannot wait to continue with the fifth and final book in this series!

So much pain in this story. I don’t know how Storm handled it. To lose so much and yet still have to look at the sun rise. To not know peace or not or comfort. Landon is boyfriend goals. He wasn’t needy or demanding. He gave so much of himself without knowing the results. I enjoy this story so much. The author did an amazing job with the characters and the extras. We all want to feel like we have our lives together. But we also have to learn that it’s ok to ask for help.

BUILDING STORM is the fourth book in the “Hawke Family Series” and I reread the series before beginning this story. Oh my gosh, they are all amazing!! I think in order to do Storm justice, you should read them in order.
From beginning to end, this epic family drama continues to add layer upon layer of amazing goodness. I have felt every feeling from joy to sadness to frustration and complete satisfaction of a story/series well written.
Twists and turns and intrigue fill the pages of this beautiful story. From beginning to end this book (and series) held my attention. I have definitely put it on my TBRA (to be read again) list.
I absolutely recommend this story, this series and this fantastic author.

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (Hawke Family #4) by Gwyn McNamee
5 out of 5 stars
Building Storm is the fourth book in the Hawke Family series written by Gwyn McNamee and I have to say is WOW…. This is an emotional story about two broken people that have known loss and finding love again. Ms. McNamee’s writing is exceptionally good, the plot sucks you in from the first page and keeps you fully engrossed until the last page. Her characters are well developed and amazing, we even get to see some characters from the first three books and we see what they are up to. Can two broken people make each other whole? We read a little about Storm in the first few books…. Her life went up in flames when she lost the love of her life, all she has left is her daughter and ashes. The simple act of breathing is so excruciating, there are days she couldn’t get it together. She has no business being at the party that she doesn’t want to be at, and she definitely shouldn’t be in the arms of the handsome stranger. Landon is broken for different reasons and he needs to get away from Chicago and the betrayal that shattered his world. He needs a new life-one without attachments. The vibrancy of New Orleans convinces himself it’s possible to start over. Yet in all the excitement of a new city, it’s Storm Hawke’s dark, sad beauty that draws him in. She isn’t looking for love, and they both need a hot, sweaty release without feelings getting involved. So when his lips meet hers, and he breathes life into her for the first time since the day the inferno disintegrated her world. But loving again isn’t in the cards, and there are even greater dangers to face than trying to keep Landon McCabe out of her heart. But even the best laid plans fail, and life can leave you burned…. You will need to read this story/series to find out about what happens to this amazing couple. I can’t wait to see what Ms. McNamee has in-store for us with her next installment of The Hawke family series. I highly recommend this book/series.

Building Storm is the conclusion of Gwyn McNamee’s Hawke Family Series AND as the writer states herself, it should NOT be read as a standalone and the series should absolutely be read in order to get the full understanding of the plots and characters and to enjoy it the fullest! I have read the series in the order and I can confirm that every story builds upon the previous one so do yourself a favour and listen to us! Building Storm gives us Storm Hawke and Landon McCabe’s story. It is a story of profound loss and finding light in the dark when you have settled in for it to last for eternity. Their story makes you cry and rage and curse and … and it also gives us hope and once you have hope, you are able to carry on … I loved how the writer is giving us in each of the stories in the series that sibling’s story in its own rights … it would be so easy for one story to bleed into the other and … The writer has given us a beautiful conclusion of the series and I am a bit sad to leave the Hawke family behind but I have no doubt that they might pop in suddenly in writer’s other stories as I do not believe that she will be able to leave them completely behind!

It’s been a while since I have been taken back into the world of the Hawke Family, and Gwyn McNamee has written this so smoothly and brilliantly it’s like I’ve never been away! This is my fifth book by this author and she has continued to show how incredible her writing style is, her amazing real, relatable characters are and how well her plots are written. I was completely utterly captivated and entranced with this read, each have such powerful and gripping story lines, I feel that getting to know Storm and watch her story develop just made this one so much stronger and more compelling and a brilliant addition to the Hawke Family Series.
The emotions that are throughout this book are raw and powerful, and I can’t help but feel the raw emotion of our characters. Throughout this read which makes it thAt much more of s powerful read. With like all the other books in this series, giving too much away in this review will spoil this read for anyone. Even though Storm’s story can be read as a stand-alone, for the best experience and for a small backstory of her and the Hawke Family do not miss reading this series in order and throughly enjoying every single one! With this being the final conclusion to the series, it opens up ready for some spin offs., which I’m sure will be just as brilliant as the rest. I can’t wait to see what Gwyn McNamee comes up with next, and what other incredible journey she can take us on, until then you will most definitely not be disappointed with this read!

“I have learned that grief is another name for love.” ~ Unknown
It is hard for me, yet again, to come up with the words to properly describe how wonderful of a novel Gwyn McNamee has penned with Building Storm. Truly and utterly stunning… I was left lost in my thoughts for a few days before I could come to this review. I have been anticipating this book for some time now as it is the fourth novel in McNamee’s Hawke Family Series. I highly suggest you read the other books in the series and in order before you read this book. This is not a standalone novel! I knew to expect a book that would give me some feels and some steamy sass that we just can’t find anywhere else but with Gwyn McNamee but wow, I had no idea this was coming. It was absolutely beyond expectations! As for plot details and info… you won’t find that here… you will have to scoop this up for yourself. Thank you so much for this wonderful series, and this wonderful book Ms. McNamee!

Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee is the fourth book in the Hawke Family series. If you haven’t read any of this amazing series you need to stop here and go get the first book and get hooked.
Storm reminded me of a phoenix rising from the ashes from the moment I started reading this book. Storm is having to learn how to live a new normal but thankfully she’s not alone. Her family is amazing through it all. I think I was crying or fighting tears through most of this book, made me think of a friend who is two months into this exact same journey.
There are so many raw emotional moments from the beginning to the end. I have loved this series from word one but there was something about this book that grabbed me.
I’m not ready to say bye to the Hawke’s and their life in New Orleans and will be waiting patiently for the next book to come out even if I have to wait a very long time which I hope I don’t.

This book almost killed me! Oh my gosh this author she knows how to get me every time I read one of her books, from the completely unexpected to making me fall so hard in love with her characters that anytime anything happens I feel like I am right there with them. I will admit I cried, a lot during this book. My heart hurt for Storm, the author wrote her character in such a way that I genuinely could feel what she was feeling. The emotional feels in this book were real! I have been so lucky to read all of the books in this series, Savage Collision is still one of my most favourite reads ever but this book was something else. I could tell that the author had truly poured her heart and soul into this read, the pain and suffering of the characters is real. I’m not going to go into details as I do not want to spoil this read for anybody but it truly is an outstanding story that I cannot recommend enough – it may only be January but I know for sure that I have found one of my top reads of 2019!

Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee a Squall of a five-star read. This is the forth novel in the Hawke Family series and they are best when read in order, they each have such powerful and gripping story lines, I do think that Building Storm may just be the best, after I had read the previous novels and loved them and I feel that getting to know Storm and watch her story develop just made this one so much stronger and more compelling. I don’t want to say too much as I would hate to give spoilers as there are a few points that you will feel like the rugs been pulled from under you and you will just adore it!! I love how Gwyn McNamee brings the city of New Orleans to life in the pages almost like another character along with the buildings and the description they will blow you away, the passion and drama written between the pages are simply sublime, if you haven’t read this series then you need to go buy them all, it’s such a powerful series that you can’t miss.

“Storm fits her. The cascading mane of jet-black hair, the cloud of darkness in her blue eyes peering out from behind the silver mask, the swirling uncertainty surrounding her, it all reminds me of a massive hurricane threatening on the horizon. And I am more than willing to let that storm crash down around me.”
“Sometimes a spark just needs a little fuel to ignite.”
Building Storm is the highly anticipated fourth book in the Hawke Family series by author extraordinaire, Gwyn McNamee. As with every book I have read of Ms. McNamee’s, I really am at a loss for words to do this story the justice it deserves and relay just how incredible this story is. I devoured this book as soon as it hit my kindle, and got so completely engrossed in it that the real world faded away, as I lost all sense of time and place. I laughed, I cried, I cursed, I swooned, and sizzled in my seat- as the story unfolded. This book had quite a lot of stiff competition to face in the form of the other exceptional instalments in the series, and it would have been easy for this one to have been overshadowed by all the previous plots. But of course, Ms. McNamee held an ace up her sleeve with this story, and delivered a book that not only holds its own amongst greatness, but has its own stellar identity and edge. Having said that, though, this book could be read as a standalone, but as it is an important part of a series, I suggest reading all the books in their correct order to get all the backstories, character information and other relevant details- which will enhance your reading pleasure. I won’t even touch on the storyline, as it would be too easy to give something away. But, I highly recommend this book, the entire series, and any of Ms. McNamee’s work- as you are sure to become as addicted to her stories and this series, as I am. She definitely should be on everyone’s ‘must read’ list! Even though this is the final full-length novel in this series, I am looking forward to the short stories and spin-off that are yet to come!! Bellissimo!!!

Building Storm ( A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4) by Gwyn McNamee 5 stars
Being the 4th book in this series, it must be said you have to start at the beginning with book 1, Savage Collison. These stories all build on one another and must be read in order. I have been waiting very patiently for Storms book and this did not disappoint. Storm ia so hard on herself and after all shes been through, she should be allowed some of it and theres no timeline for your feelings. I can’t say much more on storyline as I cannot give anything of this story away. But I will say I loved these characters so so much and as always, where’s there’s Hawkes, there’s drama and danger! I hope to see more from this family as I dont want it to be over.

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4) By: Gwyn McNamee 5 out of 5 stars
The story Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4) by Gwyn McNamee is a contemporary romance book. I was thrilled when I found out about the release of the next story in this series. I have loved reading the series since the first book. This story is just one more wonderful addition. I was hooked from the very beginning and as soon as I started, I found myself glued to the pages. I truly enjoyed the dialogue and interactions between the characters and I love that characters from the previous books are brought forward into this one. I loved reading about the characters of Storm Hawke and Landon McCabe. Storm is feisty, strong-willed, and stubborn. She is also a woman who is just existing. Landon is a man that has come to New Orleans to start over. He is charming, intelligent, and kind. Reading about Storm and Landon had my emotions going up and down the entire time. They are two characters that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read. This story has moments that are sad and also ones that warmed my heart. There are times when I was turning pages to find out what happened next. This is a series that should be read in order to fully understand the plots and characters. Don’t miss out on reading Storm and Landon’s story.

I loved this book as well as the whole entire series. I love how this author pulls me into the story with ease and make me feel as if I am part of the story. This is Storm and Landon’s story. They both are in need of healing and betrayal is something they have in common. Will he turn her world upside down? Is there something out there threatening to change Storm’s new life? They took me on an emotional journey of love, life, lies and family, a love story. A must read!
