Tainted Saint (A Hawke Family) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Colleen Noyes

Tainted Saint (Hawke Family #5)Tainted Saint by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This quick read is the 5th book in the Hawke series. It was easily read in one sitting and I was excited to read more about the big guy. Saint and Caroline make a good couple and I enjoyed them.

As with all shorter books it’s kind of hard to get to know the characters in depth. For me what was missing was there was hardly any background information about Saint or Caroline and so it felt like it was missing something. I’m used to getting a lot of background information in this series which helps me connect to the characters even more.

The authors writing style is still just as good as it always is and I enjoyed the part about Caroline and her assignment as well as the new avenue that Saint is going into. I enjoyed that it helps us delve a little further into the Luca situation which I assume is going to be wrapped up in the last book. While I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the previous books I still found it very enjoyable and can’t wait to finish out the series.

Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Colleen Noyes

Building Storm (Hawke Family #4)Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Stone Sober (A Hawke Family Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Colleen Noyes

Stone Sober (Hawke Family #3)Stone Sober by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stone Sober by Gwyn McNamee is the third book in the Hawke series and by far my favorite. The story has so much suspense, action, and storyline that brings all of the previous books together. There is romance, steamy sex scenes, and tearjerker moments.

This book feels like it has more storytelling than any of the previous books and it makes it highly incredible. I could not put this book down from start to finish and had to read it in one sitting because it was that amazing. You will fall in love with both Stone and Nora as individuals but also will grasp what makes them them. They both have been running from big secrets for a long time and those come to a head but nothing will prepare you for the biggest secret of all. I highly recommend that you read the entire series starting with book one to enhance your reading pleasure.

Tortured Skye (A Hawke Family Novel Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Colleen Noyes

Tortured Skye (Hawke Family #2)Tortured Skye by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the Hawke family series picks up where book one left off. I originally read Savage Collision in 2017 and then never found the time to read past that book. I just reread book one and immediately had to go onto book 2.

How can you ever think it is a good idea to get involved with your brothers best friend? But that is exactly what Skye does. Feeling a pull towards Gabe Anderson should never of been part of her life. However you immediately feel the connection these two have and what they have been fighting off for years. One simple kiss and it throws their entire lives into complete chaos.

Enduring what Skye has can simply not be easy. I can only imagine what a sudden loss like she has experienced feels like especially given who the loss was. In Gabe‘s case he too has suffered incredible loss but in a different way. We find these two pulling towards each other and I think that the type of losses they both have experienced is what makes them magnetic to each other. I felt like they had a kindred spirit because what each of them have endured, the pain, the loss, hurt, the struggle and most of all I think they both encounter a sense of not feeling like they belong because of missing people or emotions.

Throw into the mix an over protective, control freak older brother who is also the best friend of the man you’re falling for and your emotions will be all over the place. There is some suspense in this book just as there is in book one which I enjoyed. This author does a great job of being very detail oriented, very specific, and setting up the foundation/background of each character so that you know where they’re coming from and why they are the way they are. She also did a good job of bringing in characters from book one and so you kind of get to see a little bit of a continuation of those characters that you first fell in love with.

If you enjoy a story with well developed characters, hot sex scenes, a little suspense, and an intense romance than this is the book for you. I highly recommend reading the series in order though to gain the most out of the storytelling.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a sweet and feel good Christmas book! Holiday Terminal (A Second Chance Secret Baby Billionaire Holiday Romance) is the first book in the Warren Family Holidays Series by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson. Penelope is a hard working single mom who is just trying to get home to her family for Christmas. One problem is there is a wicked storm, which halters her travel plans to get to get there. So, they get stranded in an extremely small town in Tennessee. She isn’t the only one who gets stranded there either. Artemis Warren has an infamous family and has the money to go with it. The one thing that he doesn’t have is the girl that broke his heart one summer in North Carolina. He’s carried a torch for her ever since. As fate plays it, these two get stranded at the same time at the very same airport their planes had to land at due to the storm. In less than 24 hours their lives get turned upside down and they leave to a happy ending. This book is a little bit of an emotional roller coaster. It was such an easy read and it pulled you in from the start and didn’t stop until the very end. I am so glad that there is a second book! I can’t wait to read it! This book is a Hallmark movie waiting to happen! I absolutely adored it! I have no complaints at all! Well done ladies!

Holiday Terminal is a great Christmas read. This is the first book in this series, i got pulled in straight away. It is well written and i got really invested in Penelope and Art’s romance, they met six years previous but when Art left at the end of the Summer and never contacted Penelope again the last thing she wanted was to run into him at the airport when her flight had to make an emergency landing. Can they get a second chance? you will have to read to find out

Holiday Terminal by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson is book one of The Warren Family Holidays series. I read this book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down!

Penelope didn’t intend to get stuck at the airport in the middle of nowhere on Christmas Eve but now she has no choice but to wait out the snow storm. She never would have expected that the one person she didn’t think she’d ever see again would get stuck at the same airport. Nothing good could come from both Penelope and Artemis being stuck at the same airport, or so Penelope thinks.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It was a quick read because you get sucked in and don’t want to put it down. I could feel Penelope’s terror when she first saw Artemis and realized it could spell disaster for her. I also spent a bit of time being mad at Artemis. He has a few less than favorable moments. Overall, it was very well written and a great read!

Holiday Terminal was such a great 5 star read. Just what I needed in my life right now. This second chance romance had everything I always want to see in a book. Artemis Warren and Penelope Barnes met one summer on the beach in Cape Harmony. Artemis was vacationing with his rich high profile family and of course they didn’t want their oldest son involved with a local girl. Artie and Penelope fell in love that summer.
Unfortunately Artie left at the end of the summer and him and Penelope never spoke after that. Now 6 years later they are both flying to their respective homes but both planes need to make an emergency landing because of a really bad snow storm with whiteout conditions.
What are the odds that these two long lost lovers have to land at the same airport, on the same day, at the same time ? It must’ve been fate.
What will happen when these two come face to face? Penelope has feared this moment and now she has no choice but to face it head on and tell him the truth. She really doesn’t have to tell him because he can see it with his own eyes. I absolutely loved this book and wish there were more just like this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a lovely second chance at love Christmas romance which left me with a feel good factor and put me in the festive spirit. When Penelope Barnes and son Max get stranded at a tiny airport in the middle of nowhere on Christmas Eve she thinks things can not get any worse but then Artemis Warren, her first love and the man who broke her heart walks into the terminal. Whilst Penelope has been transported back to being a teenager left on the beach wishing the boy would choose her, Artemis is happy to be reunited with the only woman he’s ever loved. Due to an emergency landing he’s been stranded as well and just wanted to go back to civilisation until he spots Penelope and hopes to turn the bad situation into the opportunity of a lifetime. However, old wounds can be hard to heal and both of them have created new lives and then there’s the secret that Penelope is hiding that will have consequences for both their lives. I loved Penelope and Artemis who were both likeable and relatable and I was cheering them on hoping they would both get their happy ever after, especially as it’s Christmas and a little Christmas magic was just what the couple needed. Max was also a lovely character. The storyline flowed well and the descriptive narrative made the characters and the setting come alive. I found the cold, snowy Christmas Eve to be a really Christmasy backdrop to the story. It was an enjoyable and engaging read which had me hooked from the start and I felt immersed in the story, making this a perfect book for the festive period.

Holiday Terminal: (A Second Chance Secret Baby Billionaire Holiday Romance) (The Warren Family Holidays #1) by Gwyn McNamee & Christy Anderson

This is the first book I’ve read by either author. It won’t be my last as I’ll be watching for others. This book was fantastic and I know others will love it.

Penelope is a single mom and is stuck in a little tiny airport. The last thing she wants is to be stranded on Christmas Eve with her mom and son. The straw that breaks her is her son’s father being in the same airport, stranded as well. The quote I chose for Penelope is: “Seeing is believing, Artemis. And I haven’t seen anything that suggests you’re any different than your family. I’m sorry, but I just can’t believe that. Your promises may be enough for Max, and of course, he would love if you moved to Nashville to be close to him, but they aren’t for me. I can’t give you my heart again. I’m sorry. I just can’t.”

Artemis didn’t want to spend Christmas Eve in an airport. He wanted to be at the family party to announce something. What he doesn’t know is that the one he keeps thinking about is there. In the tiny airport. The quote I chose for Artemis is: “Penelope. I think you and I need to have a little chat.”

Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.

5 stars!
I LOVE a holiday romance. This book delivered in putting me in the Christmas spirit and giving me all sorts of feelings. I really love when the characters miscommunicate with each other, that may sound weird, but when I see the hurt caused by miscommunication my heart jumps a little because I know that everything will be okay in the end. Penelope and Artemis are beautiful together, I love them as a couple. Penelope did annoy me at times but overall, I understand why they were in the situation they were in. If they would have just talked everything out, things may have been different by now, but, being young and immature the first thing in your mind is to run, so that is what Penelope did. I was nervous for a minute when Artemis finds out about Max but knew deep down that everything would work out, it’s a holiday romance after all. I really enjoyed meeting all these characters, and quickly got lost in the story, I can’t wait to see what is next and would highly recommend this read.

Holiday Terminal: (A Second Chance Secret Baby Billionaire Holiday Romance) (The Warren Family Holidays Book 1)
By Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson

I enjoyed reading this holiday romance. This book is full of romance, forgiveness, passion, great characters, and some heated moments. There was a lot of pent up emotion between Art and Pen, and seeing each other again while stranded at the airport brought all those feelings to forefront. Even though this was a quick read for me there was still plenty of emotion and dialog between the characters. This is a good mature holiday read and I recommend this book. I have read other books by Gwyn McNamee and she never disappoints.

Penelope is flying home for Christmas with her son, Max, and her mother. However, a snow storm forces them to land at a small-town airport until the storm passes. Hoping it will only be a couple of hours, the three of them hunker down in the terminal to wait out the storm…hoping to be home in time to open presents in the morning.
Artemis is on his way to New York where he plans to make a big announcement to his family. Due to the weather, he must land at an airport in the middle of nowhere and wait for the storm to pass. Imagine his surprise when he sees the girl from his past, who has grown into a beautiful woman, as another stranded passenger.
The past between Penelope and Artemis is a mix of young love and heartbreak. Both of them have their own ideas about what happened on the beach years ago…but it seems as though both of them have it wrong. Years of not talking has led to a mix of longing, anger, and distrust. Can they reignite the flame they once had? Or are secrets from the past (and Artemis’ last name) going to keep them apart once again?
I enjoyed this book and read it all in one sitting. It was an easy read and a really good story. Penelope and Artemis are both great characters who just need a little slap upside their heads to knock some sense into them…but, then again, most adults do! I enjoyed the story and will be checking out Archie’s book when it is released.

Holiday Terminal by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson is a short and sweet little Christmas read that is full with emotion. On the flight home for Christmas Penelope, Max (her son), and Jolynn (her mom), are forced to land their plan in a very small town because of a snow storm. Unfortunately, fate would have it that her ex from years ago, Artemis Warren was also forced to land at the same tiny airport. The separate worlds of the two of them collide again, only this time there are a lot of scars and secrets… big secrets… secrets that could change both of their lives in a major way. The secret is soon revealed and so it begins the back and forth of the emotional pull between the two.
This book was delightfully pleasant. There was so much emotion packed in to this book and the character were very favorable. The story-line was great and I got the ending that I had hoped for all along. This is a quick read that would be perfect by a day spend by the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate.

Holiday Terminal: (A Second Chance Secret Baby Billionaire Holiday Romance) by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson was the first Christmas book of the year for me and almost got my grinchy heart into the spirit.

I have read most of Ms. McNamee’s books and wasn’t sure what to expect with a collaboration, especially with an author I have only recently discovered but I throughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by these two ladies in the future.

Max stole my heart from the very beginning of the book and didn’t let go, there was just something about that little boy that grabbed me.

Though there were some issues between Penelope and Artemis, there wasn’t the heavy drama like there could have been which made me enjoy it that much more.

If ever there was a book I could ask to be written it would be this one because not only is it co-written by one of my favourite authors but it is also a holiday time story – my all-time favourite time of year! I was so excited to get my hands on this story and I wasn’t disappointed at all! I loved every second of it! Ok so maybe the story was a little predictable but I didn’t care at all!!! I loved the setting for the story and I loved the characters. In my opinion this is the perfect Christmas read that gives you all the feels! The writing as I expected was brilliant and it was hard to tell that it was written by two authors, their writing styles blended together seamlessly.
I 100% recommend the Holiday Terminal was a wonderful romantic and heart-warming read for this holiday season!

Holiday Terminal is a Christmas-themed romance that sees two ex-lovers get a second chance of happiness. As a huge fan of the authors already, I was super excited to get started on this. I was also hoping it would get me into the Christmas spirit and I can safely say that it has!

Penelope Barnes and Artemis Warren could not be more different. A small-town girl and a city boy, they were thrust together during a hot summer neither of them would ever forget. We got to learn about their past through short flashbacks and, while there wasn’t many of them, it was the perfect amount for us to understand just how deeply they had cared about each other. Learning about the Warren family was fun, but it was the love and support Penelope’s parents have showed her that I enjoyed so much. The Warren family are not the kind you want to be part of, so I was screaming at Artemis to finally get the guts to step away from a life he hates leading.

Seeing Penelope and Artemis together after so many years apart was fun. There was so much back-and-forth that it keeps you guessing until the very end. There is a huge plot element that I can’t discuss (because it is a big spoiler!) but I absolutely loved how endearing it was. It is the perfect Christmassy read as family is such a strong theme. Another thing I loved was the wintery setting, especially all the snow! Being stuck in a desolate airport terminal on Christmas Day sounds awful, but this book made me want it to happen to me!

I absolutely loved this and will definitely be recommending it. It is the perfect short read to get you in the Christmas spirit and its left me hungry for more festive reads!

5 +++++++ Stars

Holy Buckets I loved this book! I did not want it to end. Gwyn Mcnamee is an automatic for me and is already on my favorites list. This is my first time reading Christy Anderson and I’ve already pulled her books up so I can read more. These two wrote this story in a way you have no idea who wrote what because it all flows together so perfectly.

This was a different story for a few reasons, one being that most of the story took place in one night and in one place and in my opinion this could be a Christmas Movie on that channel that does the countdown to Christmas every year. I felt like I was right there and could see the beauty outside the windows and actually hear the vending machines dropping the treats. It had my emotions all over the place and Max won my heart right from the start.

The misunderstandings that caused years of loneliness and secrets for both Art and Pen had me wanting to shake both of them but the way this story was told and unfolded made it perfect and I truly want more… I can not wait for the next in this series, while I was reading all I could think of was I hope Archie gets his own story and book I get to the end and find out he is next, so now I’ll hope that just maybe we will get to know Athena as well!

Loved this and can’t recommend it enough. These two authors make an awesome team and I hope we get much more from them in the future!

Holy holly berries! This book is amazeballs! Yes I said amazeballs, because really that is the only word my brain can produce after the way this book left me in my feels and reeling with the need for more. First of all we have Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson teaming up and honestly I need more of this in my life! These two are explosive authors on their own, so seeing them team up is one heck of an explosion that I will never get enough of, bring on more! Follow that up with the perfect amount of holiday cheer, romance, and angst, and you have the makings of a fabulous holiday read that you will devour over and over again this holiday season. I am seriously sincere folks, this book should be made into a movie, more along the speed of Lifetime than Hallmark but a movie nonetheless.

Imagine being stranded in the middle of nowhere with a blizzard raging around you and the company you have to keep is your ex that you just can’t seem to figure out how to communicate with. This book brings you just that. Art and Pen are thrust together with all their chaos and mess and forced to face the cold hard facts. They have a sizzle that will set you hair on end and your feels on fire. I absolutely adored these two was cheering for them to find that happily ever after with the magic of Christmas cheering them on. I know there are a few moments where I also wanted to reach through my kindle screen and strangle them but it made sitting on the edge of my seat that much more desirable. I can’t wait to find out what the next novel will bring but I sure know I will be pre-ordering that sucker as fast as my finger can click. I hope this book brings you as much magic and joy this holiday season as it has for me! Happy reading!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely LOVED this story. I thought it a bit predictable but that didn’t stop me from loving these two characters! They each brought heart and soul to this book. I felt each emotion right along with characters. The storyline was about lost love and the big Why. Each felt they were wronged and didn’t know why. Now six years later they have a second chance or is it the chance to say a proper goodbye…

There were secondary characters that I enjoyed immensely. They added the love, dislike and laughter to this story. We see a family and their struggle for perfection vs not fitting the required family mold. Max was a wonderful add but I also want to mention Jolynn. She is supportive to the nth degree. Who would love someone like that in their life?

I enjoyed this book and It is a sweet story filled with emotional upheaval. The writing flows and the characters are well done. I see a second will be coming about Arties brother. I look forward to reading that.

I love these authors separately. Together they are fantastic! Don’t we all dream of the one that got away? The one we gave our heart to and they still hold it even though it’s been years? Wonder what would happen if you saw them again? This is the story of Artemis and Penelope. Once young lovers who walked away from each other years ago. Now, stranded in a random airport in the middle of nowhere on Christmas Eve, their paths cross once again. Only this time, there is so much more at stake!

This story brings out all the feels! It’s so easy to imagine myself in Penelope’s place. As I read, I could feel both of their emotions as if they were my own. This is such a well written second chance romance! Holiday Terminal is a must read this Holiday season or anytime you’re looking for a great, emotional, quick read! Five stars for Gwyn and Christy!

Holiday Terminal by Gwyn McNamee & Christy Anderson
5 stars

What a great holiday read this was. This book, while quick, packs quite the emotional punch i expect from Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson is new to me but now on my to read list.
A teenage miscommunication comes to a head over Christmas 6 years later between Penelope and Artie. These two, ugh I wanted to just shake them sometimes but we got there in the end. I can’t give away circumstances as it’ll ruin this read for anyone else as even though we know what is kind of expected, the work up to it all is so worth reading on your own.

Great read!

Holiday Terminal: (A Second Chance Secret Baby Billionaire Holiday Romance)Holiday Terminal: by Christy Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holiday Terminal: A Second Chance Secret Baby Billionaire Holiday Romance is a fantastic second chance romance by Christy Anderson and Gywn McNamee. I have read, and loved, many books by Gwyn McNamee but this was the first time that I had read any of Christy Anderson’s writing. After reading this book, I’m sure I will read more in the future as I really, really enjoyed this book.
Holiday Terminal was very different to any other book I have read, for several reasons. Firstly, there are very few characters in the book. Secondly, it takes place over a very short space of time and thirdly, almost the whole story takes place in just 1 location.
Although there were very few characters, those that were in the book were very well written and all have valuable parts to play in the storyline. As always (for me) when there is a young child in a book, they totally steal the scene for me and Max in this book was no different. He was totally adorable. I loved the interactions between the 2 main characters Penelope and Artemis. Both have never got over the other and still have very deep feelings for each other but are both angry with each other which lead to some very heated arguments.
One of my favourite parts of this book is the bond that grows very quickly between Artemis and Max. It’s adorable to read their interactions.
Although different, I really loved this book and would definitely recommend it to others.
