Jack is Issac’s past that he never has been able to get over. With unforeseeable circumstances Jack’s back in the picture and in danger. Soon he realizes Jack’s daughter is his and that he missed out. Fate has a way of catching up with what’s meant to be regardless of circumstances. Very good book I highly recommend.

I couldn’t wait to read this book! I read the prequel “Night Hawke” and it definitely left me hanging to read this book. When Jack (Giacomina) and her daughter Vivi are ripped out of their home due to a threat, they end up at Jack’s dad’s best friend’s business in the heart of New Orleans. When he walked into the room, Jack didn’t even have to turn around to know he just walked into the office. Nolan (Isaac) was now face to face with the woman who stole his heart and broke it all in one weekend five years ago back in Chicago! These two have so much chemistry. It was a page-turner that I could not put down!

Every time I pick up a book by this author I think there is no possible way she could ever top the last one I read. And yet each time she seems to do just that. This book was absolutely incredible and the best possible way to kick start this new series. I am so pleased we are getting even more books to add to this collection and I already know they rest will be hard pushed to beat this one for me.
The chemistry and connection between the characters was amazing. It was evident on every single page and I was drawn to it straight away. And it wasn’t just the characters that was so good, the story was equally as fantastic. The combination of the two have made this book a strong contender for favourite of the year already! I would urge everyone to pick up this book today.

Wow, did this book play out into a book that is everything. Jack and Nolan aka Mina and Isaac, their story is everything and the prequal barely touched the surface. I don’t want to share any spoilers.They do have their daughter, Vivi, and I can see her in my head while reading. This beautiful little girl with caribbean blue eyes like her daddy and the smartest little thing. Jack comes from a loving family but I definitely didn’t see coming what was laid out in this book. Isaac’s back story was a bit more forthcoming in the prequel. There was action, comedy, suspense, romance, an amazing family dynamic. The dinner and Nana’s was awesome and so funny. My last tid bit is will there be a next book on Jude……? I really want to know his story.

I cannot wait to read the next book that comes out in this series to read as it was such a great book to read!!

Ruthless Hawke
By: Gwyn McNamee
As always, this is a Hawke family book that does not disappoint. This is the first book in the Hawke Family Second Generation series. However, it does contain some of the characters in the original series. This book also has a prequel, it is not necessary to read it to understand this book, it just demonstrates the amount of chemistry between MIna and Isaac. This chemistry was absolutely undeniable and continues in this book. Isaac is a man who will do anything to protect his family but in this book the danger is so close. I definitely recommend this book, just as much as I have recommended every other book by Gwyn McNamee.

With plenty of steamy scenes and twists and turns to keep you pulled in, this book is one of the best I’ve read so far this year. Giacomina Marconi is awakened and rushed out of the only home she and her daughter, Viviana know and unceremoniously dropped into the laps of the Hawke family she had previously only known by reputation. What Mina doesn’t know until that moment is the family is also that of the man who fathered her daughter on a long ago weekend away with only fake names and more steamy time together. Mina’s mom runs one of the mafia families of Chicago, while Isaac’s family is legitimate, but has some…questionable business interests and ties.

Ruthless Hawke is the first book in the new Hawke Family Second Generation series by Gwyn McNamee. It follows on from Night Hawke (the prequel) and is every bit as brilliant as I thought it would be, and then some. But we are talking Gwyn McNamee here- and she sets the bar incredibly high, so this book/series was always going to be stellar! But even knowing and expecting greatness, she still blew me away!!
As I mentioned in my review for Night Hawke, which is where we first meet Isaac and Jack, I am a HUGE fan of the original Hawke series….. so I was really excited when I discovered Ms. McNamee had plans for this second-generation series. I absolutely FLOVE the original Hawkes with such a fiery passion, but this new series- starting with Isaac and Jack- OMG #newobsession #addicted #needmoreSTAT- this book is EVERYTHING!!!! And finding the family tree at the beginning- made my heart so happy- and I am beyond excited for the (potential)l books to come!!!!
Seriously, I cannot recommend this book/series/author highly enough! You NEED this book in your life.
Bring on Reticent Hawke (Book #2)
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

The first full novel for the second generation did not disappoint. The number of twists and turns made this a fast-paced exciting book. I do recommend reading the prequel to this book first as it makes each revelation all the more shocking. I loved how action-packed this book was while maintaining an air of sexiness. I also enjoyed seeing how the first generation grew up and continued to work together, all while still embracing those that are blood and those that are not. Proof that even the mob can not keep this family from keeping each other safe. I’m ready for the next book, especially with the final sentence

Extremely short but existing book. I wish it was a little longer and that’s why it gets 4 stars. As always this member of the Hawke Family will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. I couldn’t get enough of the main characters. Definitely a good read if you are taking a short flight or if you are looking for a quick one day/or less read. Highly recommend.

I have come to really enjoy reading about the Hawke’s. The Hawke’s have always been about protecting their family, their legacy and this book was no different. Isaac is no different when it comes to being a protector, but when a blast from the past shows up with a child in tow that could only mean one thing. He knows from the moment he looks into her eyes that she is his and he will do whatever ot takes to keep her safe. But why has Jack shown up out of the blue after all these years? If you want to find out whether there is a happily ever after for these two you will have to read the book to find out. You won’t be disappointed.

First of all, let me say that I absolutely loved Night Hawke, which was the prequel to Ruthless Hawke. It definitely starts the series off on the right (steamy) page, so if you haven’t read that one yet, pick it up! I love the entire Hawke family and this one is no different. Gwyn McNamee has such an extraordinary way of grabbing your attention, making you speed through the book without realizing it. The amount of natural chemistry pulls you in and feels more like being a part of the story instead of just looking from the outside in. I HIGHLY recommend this book as well as anything else Gwyn writes because her talent is just incredibly powerful. They have never disappointed me yet!

OMG I don’t think I can honestly come up with the right words to describe exactly how damn AMAZING this book is or how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! Sorry I know I am shouting but I just don’t know what else to do! 5 Stars just isn’t a high enough rating. I read the Prequel to this book and was not so patiently awaiting for the rest of the story. I just knew it had to be amazing and it in no way disappointed! I was completely hooked from the very first sentence until the very last word and I stayed up half the night to finish it because I simply could not Put it down. The chemistry between Issac and Mina (Jack) is indescribable and right from the start you want everything to work out for them. There are some great twists in the storyline that will keep you turning page after page and all the characters will tunnel into your heart. I can’t wait for more from this truly amazing series and this extremely talented and creative author.

Five years ago Isaac spent time with Jack and he has never been able to forget her. Now he is called in for a family matter and finds himself face to face with Jack again, only there are secrets that have not been revealed. Can they resist the chemistry around them when danger lurks?
Another wonderful story by this author. Sizzling chemistry. Isaac oozes charisma and power. I liked the fact that neither knew who each other were before thrown together. If you have not picked up series, this is one you will get hooked on quickly.

Gwyn does it every time. She is one of my all-time reads I really love her work. The book title is a very apt title. Ruthless Hawke can be read as a stand-alone. It is more than just a contemporary romance tale.
Ruthless Hawke is the first book in The Hawke Family Second Generation Series but can be read as a stand-alone. It is a contemporary romance story that is full of tension and angst, secrets and lies, fear and danger and so much more.
I love the characters in the first series and now the second generation are taking over and are just as loveable and sexy.
He is a man who will do anything to protect his family and what they have built. When his past turns up he is in shock at what he finds. But danger is nipping at their heels. Can he keep it all safe without losing a thing?
I can’t wait for more.

I’m so excited that this series has a Second Generation Series. The Hawke Series was one of my favorites. Especially the book about Stone. Which should tell you how excited I am that Ruthless Hawke is about none other than Stone’s son Issac. This author pulls you in, in so many ways it’s easy to get hooked.
If this is the first time you’re stumbling across this series, you can definitely start with the Second Generation Series, you won’t be missing much. However if you want to understand the family as a whole better, you definitely want to go back and read the original Hawke Series. It’s also worth it to read.
Issac is continuing what his father started with the family law firm. Fighting for what’s right, but also for his family as well. Family is everything for the Hawkes blood relation or not.(It could be why I’m drawn to these books. I’ve never had a close family like this.) But family is exactly what turns his world upside down. He’s readying for the fight of his life, and his family has shown him the way.
Again I can’t even explain how much this series and world are an escape for me, that I love. It has everything. It’s sad, happy, funny, loving, ect. It’s so worth it and you will absolute not be disappointed!

A story that brings steam and romance to an engaging story. I enjoyed how the author used details to bring her story to life and made it realistic. The characters pull you into the story from the start. They are relatable and supportive of each other. They added so much to the story. They have great growth and chemistry throughout. This is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. I have enjoyed reading this author’s books and this one is no different. This is a must read story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Isaac and Jack’s story is fascinating and had me on the edge of my seat. Valentina made the story even more perfect. Watching Isaac grow through the story and getting to see familiar faces pop in make this one of my favorites. The Hawke family are one of my favorite series and the 2nd generation is just building on that. I loved the storyline. The characters were well-written and fit in to the story just right..Mafia romance has become one of my new favorite and this author is right up there at the top of my list. I love seeing the protagonist come out on top.
BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE ( ＾◡＾)っ
Love can be ruthless, especially when you’re a Hawke.
You have to be ruthless to be a Hawke.
Our empire in New Orleans has only grown over the years.
And protecting it falls on my shoulders.
Whether it’s in the courtroom or in the streets, I do whatever it takes to get the job done.
We’ve already suffered and lost enough.
I won’t let anything threaten my family or what we’ve built.
But a mysterious woman from my past shows up, with danger in tow.
That’s not all she brings with her.
The little girl stares up at me with the Hawke blue eyes.
Instantly, my entire world shifts.
It isn’t just about defending what’s ours.
Now, it’s about defending what’s mine.
Ruthless Hawke is the first book in The Hawke Family Second Generation Series. Grab this angsty contemporary romance about a man who will do anything to protect his family, a woman on the run, and an attraction neither of them can deny. Ruthless Hawke can be read as a stand-alone.
*Ruthless Hawke starts the second generation of the Hawke Family but it is not necessary to read the first generation*

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Night Hawke is available now in Paperback and eBook
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review
“I love to play games, especially with an opponent like Jack and when I know what I’ll win in the end.”
Both “Jack” and “Nolan” find themselves running from reality for two completely different reasons. “Nolan” has just finished law school and is about to enter the billion dollar family business. “Jack” has her own share of family problems. The two meet in a bar and agree to a one night stand that turns into an entire weekend together…in bed. When “Nolan” decides two nights together isn’t enough he speaks up. When he wakes up and notices “Jack” has left he does everything in his power to catch her. Two nights with only two rules lead to a lifetime of consequences. Will “Nolan” ever find his mystery woman?
Night Hawke written by Gwyn McNamee is a second generation Hawke family prequel. McNamee writes stories with a bit of suspense and action mingled with romance and heat. Night Hawke will not let you down in any of these categories. This novel is steamy and full of spicy scenes. The novel jumps right in from the very beginning with a steamy introduction. This prequel really sets the stage for the next series, ending with a cliffhanger that leaves you begging for more. It is not necessary to read the first generation to follow along in the second series, but I promise you wont regret getting your hands on those as well!
“This woman is trouble. No doubt about it. But it’s exactly the kind of trouble I need tonight.”

This was a quick sexy read. Isaac wants to end his time in Chicago with a beautiful woman, but not any beautiful woman; he wants the sexy red head. Jack just wants a carefree night away from her family. Their time together is fiery and hot. However, Jack is full of mystery and wants only anonymity.

Night Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you were looking for a quick all-night sex extravaganza, then Night Hawke is your book. Issac Hawke is a newly graduated lawyer who is leaving Chicago to move back to New Orleans to be a part of the family business. He thought having one more amazing celebration with a gorgeous redhead would do the trick. The two spark up a conversation both wanting the same thing – a really good one-night stand. The catch is that they want to end it with no strings, which means no real names; Isaac goes by Nolan and the redhead goes by Jack. Well, this one-night stand becomes the best thing either one of them has ever experienced. The whole story is a prequel that starts their relationship, but the only thing that really occurred was a lot of untruths (to safeguard each other’s feelings, but also their lives) and sex, lots and lots of sex. “Jack” you don’t really learn much about her except that her family is highly controlling and she isn’t supposed to be out. She makes little hints but there is no description of why she is kept “captive” by her family – my guess will be maybe mafia related. Either way, the two feel more then they expect when one night turns into two. However, while Nolan wants more, he is left wanting when she up and leaves in the morning. He has no information on how to find her except that she lives and is from Chicago – he doesn’t even know her real name. As characters, I find both of them charming, and mysterious, but want more for their lives. That is the only info you get so the prequel sets you up for future stories, but you have no idea what that will be. It worked because I am interested to find out what happens.
