Steele Resolve (Hawke Family #6) by Gwyn McNamee

5 out of 5 stars

Cannot be read as a standalone….

Steele Resolve is the sixth book in the Hawke family series written by Gwyn McNamee and it’s the final book in this series and I’m sad for this series to end. The characters are amazing and well developed and the storyline was great especially that it’s the last book in this series.

Luca “Steele” Abello isn’t just dangerous he is a mob boss and he’s lethal. He is a master manipulator, liar, and user, no one should trust a word that comes out of his mouth. But he has come back to New Orleans to clean his family name up. He even wants to make up with his friends/family the Hawke’s that he hasn’t seen in years. There’s a catch they don’t trust him. He kept going back, even though he is risking Bryon and his own if they continue their indiscretion. The truth of what he is could get them both killed, but being with the man who’s such an integral part of the Hawke family is even more terrifying.

Byron Harris works for the Hawke’s. He didn’t know who Luca was until he walked into the club. He never should have let it go beyond that first night, but he couldn’t stay away. The only people he ever cared about are on opposing sides, and I’m the rift that could end their friendship forever.

I highly recommend this book/series. I hope we will see these characters in some other work by this amazing author…

Steele Resolve by Gwyn McNamee
Stars: 4

Steele Resolve is the 6th book in the Hawke Family series. I have absolutely loved this series since book 1. This book does not disappoint in the character development and relationships they have with each other. I loved how Luca really found his way in the story. We get to see Byron receive his HEA. Although this story is a bit out of normal reading, I felt that this story did a great job at wrapping up Luca’s and the Hawke family’s conflict. Gwyn McNamee does a fantastic job of developing her characters and pulling in her readers right at the beginning. From the first page, I was pulled into the world that Gwyn created!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve was a thrilling 5 star M/M read and the 6th and final book in the Hawke Family series.

Byron has a hot one night stand with a man that he didn’t think he would see again. Until he walks into the bar to meet with the Hawkes. Byron is devastated to find out who Luca is. Luca is the son of the mob boss that is enemies with the Hawkes.

How will the Hawkes feel if they find out about his night with Luca?

Things get very interesting. Luca and Byron have such a hot connection you can feel it coming off the pages. This story is told in dual POV which I really enjoyed. This is a quick read that will pull you right in. This can be read as a stand alone but your really should read from the beginning, it will help you connect with the story better. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve by Gwyn McNamee a five-star read that will tempt your resolve. This is number six in the Hawke Family series and it really is best to read them in order as you would kick yourself if you don’t, it’s that good a series, they are each like a petal of a flower, beautiful an powerful in their own right, but together a thing of beauty. Luca ‘Steele’ does the impossible and makes you fall in love with him even though he really is a man to be hated. I would recommend this novel to people who don’t read M/M as even though it’s a story about two men fighting for more than what happens between the sheets, it’s also a powerful love story that happens to feature two men falling in love, the rest of the story is so much more than what happens between the sheets. This is a deep and emotional story and one that you will enjoy for long after you finish the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve (The Hawke Family Book 6) by Gwyn McNamee is a five star novel. I have loved every minute of reading the Hawke Family series and am so sad that it is now over! Please read the first books of this series before you read this one because the character development done in the first part of the series is crucial to really being able to enjoy this book in all of its gloriousness. Steele is part of the wrong side according to the Hawke’s but when one of their men fall in love with him, they know that something is about to change. Byron has been a part of the Hawke Family for years, taking care of them like he was born to do it. They have accepted him until his new secret is about to come out. He is t sure the Hawke’s are going to take it well and hopes that he will still have a job when he discloses this new information about himself. The biggest hurdle is that the man he fell in love with will be hard to be accepted by the Hawke’s because of their bad blood in the past. Continue reading this series to see how it will all come to an end!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t believe this is it for the Hawke family saga! I am pretty sure that I cried simply from that very fact being realized when I completed the last few pages of this hot and delectable read. With that said this is part of a series obviously and really it could be read as a standalone, but I assure you will get spoilers to previous novels and a lessened enjoyment by doing so. This series has become a major favorite, probably one of my top three, and I couldn’t imagine not enjoying it all together. The Hawkes have become like a family that I know and so real! The way that Gwyn McNamee writes these characters truly spins them into your life.

Steele Resolve gives us the story of Luca and Byron. I loved these two! The chemistry between them is absolute fire hot enough to melt ‘steel’. Nothing they go through of course can be easy, making for delicious reading material and wonderful storylines that will keep you glued to your kindle until you finish the novella in one fell swoop. Don’t be concerned though that this is just a novella and that it will be shorting you on anything that you would get with a full length novel. Steele Resolve gives you the whole story and doesn’t skimp on any of the goods. While I am sad to see this family saga come to a close, I am super excited to see what other characters dwell in the mind of Gwyn McNamee and I Iook forward to each of their stories.

Steele Resolve ( Hawke Family #6) by Gwyn McNamee. This is the sixth book in this series. I don’t believe that there has been one book that I have read by this author that I did not truly love and enjoy. This is the final book in the series and boy does it end with a bang. To better understand the entire storyline, you really have to read the previous books.
We have met Luca throughout the entire series and now we finally get to his story. Luca’s book is filled with hot, sexy, passion. Byron and Luca really get things heated up. You will not want to put this book down!!!!

I am extremely sad to see this series end but it has definitely been an amazing series to read!!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Hawke Family Story ending? Say it isn’t so!?! No matter, the story is still good. Better than good. Word of warning: This is NOT a stand-alone. It must be read in order or you won’t know anything that is going on or who the characters even are.

Looking at the number of pages, I thought it was going to be too short of a story…but then I realized that McNamee packs a lot of punch into all her stories! And Steele Resolve is no different.

This story, in fact I think this whole series, proves my point of you can’t help who you love and I love that. In the stories that I read and in real life. Byron is part of the Hawke family, they trust him, they love him. Luca aka Steele not so much. When these two get together the pages sizzle and burn!! Wow! Trust and love are two key elements for happiness. But throw in a little bad blood and some misunderstandings and you have yourself a pretty good story!

Looking forward to what else McNamee shares with us!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve (The Hawke Family Book 6) by Gwyn McNamee is sadly the last book in this great series. I suggest you read all the books in the series in order so that you get the complete picture and backstories of all the wonderful characters. I have come to love all of the characters in this series and am glad that Gwyn included Luca as part of the Hawke family. ​This sexy M/M romance is a story where it is bad enough being a mob boss without throwing being gay into the mix makes for one suspenseful and explosive story.

Luca has come home and wants back into the Hawke family that he had when they were younger but when your are the son of one of the most .mob bosses, you are by default just as bad as your surname. What he didn’t expect was to find the one person who could make his life complete.

Byron can’t stop thinking about the man he had just had a one night stand and when that person turns up for a meeting with the Hawke’s he realises just how much of a mess his life is now in. Will he reveal the truth to the people he sees as family or will he walk away from the best thing that has ever happened.

This story was so good I am sorry to see the series end but can’t wait to see what Gwyn has in store for us in the future.

Steele Resolve by Gwyn McNamee is the sixth and final book in the Hawke Family Series. I wasn’t ready to say bye to this family so I put off reading the book until the curiosity got the better of me and I’m so glad I finally caved.

Bryon and Steele are a couple I want to hang out, actually I would love to hang out with the entire Hawke Family. They just seem like a group that knows how to have a lot of fun and each one of them love their partner and family like there is no one else.

I’m really going to miss each and every one of these characters, but feel like the series ended perfectly. Looking forward to seeing what Ms. McNamee releases next.

I think my heart may be officially broken! This series has been my all-time favourite ever written by an author I have absolutely come to adore! I will admit I am not a fan of m/m stories but I needed to read Steele Resolve because I knew I was going to finally find out about Luca! The book was very cleverly written running alongside timewise a previous on in the series. The dual POV meant I was fully able to understand the characters and their most inner thoughts and feelings – this meant in true Ms McNamee style some wonderful twists and turns appeared! The whole series was tied together with this story and I really was so sad when I realised that this was actually over. Byron and Luca’s story was so intense that I forgot that I was reading a m/m story after all love is love! Their story was truly captivating and I loved every second of it.
From the moment I read Savage Collision (book 1) I knew I had found an author to love and a series that would be amazing to read and it absolutely has been. That still remains one of my favourite books ever.
The Hawke Family series has truly been outstanding and I cannot recommend the books enough. Steele Resolve was the perfect final book and it deserves the 5 stars I give it!

5 ++++ Stars

I just can’t face that there will be no more Hawke Family books, and since there is a sentence after the end of this book that leads me to believe there will be something more in the future, I will hold out hope that we haven’t heard the last of them.

I’ve loved every one of these books, as well as anything this author writes, she is an immediate go to when I want a story that kind of makes me feel like I have come home.

This one was a bit tougher for me as I don’t normally choose to read this type of book but I had to in this case and just skimmed through a few parts and stayed completely focussed on the storyline. Luca was hard not to like, I think it’s because this author gave us insight into his thoughts. What he was dealt because of his crime fathers death was a struggle that he managed perfectly. I could see both sides of this and felt how hard it was on everyone. Luca grew up loving the Hawkes and thought of them as family. He is left with big decisions to make, ones that will affect everyone he loves..Will he get back all that he wants in life or lose absolutely everything?

This as usual was written beautifully and I highly recommend grabbing this whole series, none of this will make sense if you don’t have the whole story behind everyone in this book.

I see a reread of this whole series in my very near future!

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin #2)After Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee is the second book in the series, and you need to start with book one, Wrath, before reading this one.These books are short but pack a punch and I read them in one sitting. The story is written from the male perspective and I loved being inside his head. It is one dark read but it is so good and Gwyn does it well.

Alek has vowed vengeance against his brother and those that had a hand in it. He knows that everything that happened was because no man can resist a woman and he knows he will never ever let that happen to him. Revenge has never felt so good and the anticipation of the torture to come lights a fire in the mans psyche.

I look forward to seeing what else Gwyn has in store for us, no matter what it is I know I will enjoy it.

After Wrath is the second book in the Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. I did really think Ms. McNamee could get any darker than the first book in this series, but I was wrong. The second book is dark. You need to read this series in order to get the full storyline. This book had me enthralled from beginning to end and I couldn’t put it down until the last page. I don’t want to give anything of the plot line away so all I’m going to say about this book is Beware of the Dragon! If you love dark and dirty this is the series for you.

Gwyn McNamee never ceases to amaze me, no matter what the genre of her stories I can’t help but be completely consumed with her writing! After Wrath is the second book in Gwyn’s Deadliest Sin series, a series I couldn’t recommend enough. The stories are action-packed, dark, shocking and steamy. Even though the length of the stories are short the storyline is so well rounded and full of detail.

I can’t wait to continue this series and I would absolutely recommend this series and author to anyone!

“…we all do things in a split-second that can have a ripple effect of consequences we never expect.”

STEELE RESOLVE is the final book in “The Hawke Family Series” and as is as amazing as the rest of the series.

Each and every book was a page turner. Some i liked better than others and each featured a well plotted story, completely developed characters, action, adventure, sexy times and romance.

This author has never let me down. While I am sad to read the final book in the series, I am incredibly satisfied with how it wrapped up.

This is a very very quick read with all of the elements that made this series awesome.

It is super important that this series be read in order. Each has a thread that follows each book. If they are read out of order, I think it will be confusing. Don’t short change yourself, the series, or the author… read in order.

I loved this book, a little sad to see the series end but I can’t wait to see what this author has next for us. This is not a standalone series and should be read in order to help the enrichment of this series. This is a well written story with characters that pop off the pages and is my favorite yet. Luca and Byron are strong and have a strong chemistry. They have a forbidden love but what will happen when the Hawkes find out about it? Read to find out! This is a must read book and series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Squall Line by Gwyn McNamee is the first book in the Inland Seas Series. I love Ms. McNamee and have read almost everything she has released and knew as soon as it was released I would be reading it. She is one of the few authors I love so much that I don’t bother reading the synopsis because I will be reading the book.

She once again did not disappoint me with this story featuring Grace and War. She just has a way of pulling you into the story and refuses to let you go. I loved the way Grace stood up to War fron the very beginning and would not stop even when she pushed him and his temper to edge.

This is a happy ending cliffhanger if that makes sense. I’m so looking forward to the next book to find out what happens next and to the rest of the guys.

Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book One) by Gwyn McNamee is a five star novel. I have read several books by this author and she has yet to fail to captivate my attention from the first several paragraphs. The author’s way with words is breathtaking and intelligent. The names in the novels I have read, always have hidden meanings and are brilliantly chosen for each novel. War and Grace, the two main characters in this novel are aptly named. Grace is a good girl who is forced into the shopping industry by her father when he suddenly passes away and leaves the family in a lurch. Warwick is a man who was forced into doing bad things because of his upbringing and didn’t fully realize as a teenager what he was getting himself into. As these two are forced into each other’s orbit, they each realize that their main goal in life might be shifting to include each other.

I just finished reading Squall Line by Gwyn McNamee.

This was such a fresh and fun story line!
I really had pictured something completely different after reading about the book and I was excited to read it – let me tell you that I was taken by surprise and it was a thousand times better than what I had in my mind!

I absolutely fell in love with all the characters, the surroundings were described so perfect that I could clearly picture them in my mind and like I said earlier – the story line itself was amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat, for all the right reasons!

Warwick and Grace both surprised me and I love both of them – they are both complex characters that you can’t ever pin down and you’ll learn a lot about them and what lead them to be where they are, when you meet them.

I devoured this book and I’m actually going to be reading it again!

That’s how good it is.

Gwyn McNamee is one author that I’ll be looking for, from now on – I really hope that we get to see books about the rest of the characters we saw in this book.

I’d give this book 10 stars if I could. Thank you Gwyn McNamee, thank you.

My only and I mean ONLy issue is all the rehashing in their heads! I’m not saying this situation doesn’t warrant it. Pirates..Kidnapping and Mafia..OH My! Each of these characters comes off very strong (not physically) and to hear them be so unsure in their heads turned me off after a while. That’s not to say I didn’t devour this book. Because I did! I read it in one day! This is a great idea for a series. A new avenue of Something that has been missing. Modern day pirates! I can t wait for Cutter’s adventure into romance.

Steele Resolve: A Hawke Family Novel by Gwyn McNamee is the sixth book in the Hawke Family series. This is a series that will have you hooked immediately and each book just seems to get better.
When I read this book I didn’t both t read the blurb or look at the cover at all so was initially shocked to realise it was the M/M book that I had been dying to read. These characters have had their story bubbling away in the background for ages and I was so excited to finally get my hands on it.
I absolutely loved the two of them together. I honestly couldn’t say which one of them I preferred. They were perfectly compatible together in a way that just sucked me right in. The story was not disappointing either. This is one author I have come to expect high quality work from because time and time again she delivers, which is exactly what happened again this time.
This was a brilliant way to end this series, although I am sad there won’t be more to come. I can’t wait to see what Gwyn McNamee does next.

We’ve been through so much from the very beginning and while I had my reservations about Luca, this story did him justice. I cant imagine how hard it is to keep your worlds separated and make everyone happy.
And Byron, oh the turmoil he was in for the situation.

This, like all the books in this series, grabs you from the get go and doesn’t let up until the end. If you haven’t read this series yet, start at the beginning or everything will not make sense and also spoil alot!

By: Gwyn McNamee
5 out of 5 stars

The story Steele Resolve (The Hawke Family Book 6) by Gwyn McNamee is an M/M romantic suspense book. It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Luca “Steele” Abello and Byron Harris. Luca is a man who wants to make his own way in life. He is starting over his way. Then he meets Byron. Byron is a man who is intelligent, determined, and loyal. He is also feeling guilt over the man he can’t stop thinking about after he learns of his true identity. There is an attraction between Luca and Byron. Will they take a chance and perhaps find something more together? Or is their situation too complicated to work? What does the future hold for Luca and Byron? Read this book to find out. This story is both intense and emotional. There are romantic moments as well as times when I wondered what was going to happen next. I grew to care about Byron and Luca with each chapter that I read and you can’t help but want them to be happy. I enjoyed that some of the characters from the previous books made an appearance in this one. This is a series that should be read in order to understand situations and also enjoy the characters. I have to say that the author has created a book, series, and characters that are awesome and amazing. The characters come to feel like family and I really cared about what happened to them. The stories had me hooked and I got lost in the pages. This is a book and series that I would highly recommend reading.

For one man, power is king. For the other, loyalty reigns.
Mob boss Luca “Steele” Abello isn’t just dangerous—he’s lethal. A master manipulator, liar, and user, no one should trust a word that comes out of his mouth. Yet, I can’t get him out of my head. The time we spent together before I knew his true identity is seared into my brain. His touch. His voice. They haunt my every waking hour and occupy my dreams. So does my guilt. I’m literally sleeping with the enemy and betraying the only family I’ve ever had. When I come clean, it will be the end of me.
Byron Harris is a distraction I can’t afford. I never should have let it go beyond that first night, but I couldn’t stay away. Even when I learned who he was, when the only option was to end things, I kept going back, risking his life and mine to continue our indiscretion. The truth of what I am could get us both killed, but being with the man who’s such an integral part of the Hawke family is even more terrifying. The only people I’ve ever cared about are on opposing sides, and I’m the rift that could end their friendship forever.
Love is a battlefield isn’t just a saying, for some, it’s a reality.
***Steele Resolve is the final book in The Hawke Family Series, but it is a continuation of the same story in the main series. While it is a complete story, it is NOT meant to be read as a standalone. The story of the Hawke siblings and the secondary characters featured in Steele Resolve starts in Savage Collision and continues in Tortured Skye, Stone Sober, Building Storm, and Tainted Saint. These stories all build on one another and are intertwined. They need to be read in order to fully enjoy and understand the plots and characters. ***

Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book One) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Karyn Taylor

Squall Line (The Inland Seas #1)Squall Line by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Squall Line is the first book in The Inland Seas series by Gwyn McNamee. Having read several books by this author before, I had high hopes for this book and the author definitely lived up to my expectations.
Although this is a contemporary romance novel, this book had so much action and suspense too. I was gripped into the story from the very first page and hooked right up to the end wondering how Warwick and his team were going to survive and escape the wrath of the evil Arturo.
The sexual chemistry which simmers between Warwick and Grace is compelling and you can’t help get drawn into the angst between the 2 of them.
I loved the other guys in Warwick’s team. They were not just secondary characters, they added so much to the story and I look forward to getting to know these guys better in the rest of this series.
I have to make one comment about the ending…WTF!! There better be more of Grace and Warwick in the remaining books in this series as there is one ‘little’ question I need the answer to. NOW!

Squall Line (The Inland Seas #1)Squall Line by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Modern day pirates! Misunderstood bad guys! This is what all romance dreams are made of.
McNamee does not disappoint! McNamee’s stories always have parts that make you laugh, cry and even sigh. Squall Line is no different in those aspects. However, it is different in that it is original (at least to me). Pirates usually conjure images of long ago, peg legs, eye patches, smelly uncaring men. Thankfully that is not the case in McNamee’s world of pirates!

I loved this adventure as I was not sure which way it was going to go. The ending left me wishing it wasn’t ending but still smiling, wanting more and glad to know that there is more in this new series! I loved that this story was easy to follow, not too many characters or story lines. Just the right amount of suspense, steam and adventure!

I recommend this story as well as other stories by McNamee.
