This is a new author for me, and I’m wondering where I have been! I’ve been missing out on some great stories. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to read this collection. It was amazing! This author has a new fan. This collection was filled with so many emotions, and I felt everyone of them. I never wanted to put these books down, I lost many hours of sleep reading and I don’t regret a moment of it. I cannot wait to see what is in the future for this author and looking forward to going back and reading past books. Don’t miss out on this collection, be mischievous, stay up all night, read all the books. You’ll be hooked! Highly Recommend!
Where do I even start? This ebook contains the entire series of the Hawke family escapades: Savage Collision, Tortured Skye, Stone Sober, Building Storm, Tainted Saint, and Steele Resolve. Definitely a series you will want to take your time savoring!
The family is based out of New Orleans. So as you can imagine there is a ton going on for them. Between the entire family, Gwyn really develops each character line in such a splendid way you will not want to miss out (or close your book.) Their adventures include the family business, storms, interfamilial troubles, and of course plenty of dancing. But don’t take my word for it. Pick up either the entire collection, or one of the stories and sink your teeth in. You won’t be able to let it go!

We follow Sully through his journey as a demon hunter. He meets Mick and agrees to help her find her friend. Through his search he finds out things about himself that were hidden. His chemistry with Mick is very natural and fluid. Lots of action!!!! All in all this was a great read. If your a fan of the supernatural I think you should give it a try.

All I have to say to this series is OMG! I absolutely loved it! McNamee has a way of captivating her readers from the beginning to the very end. Each of the 6 book series involve themes of steamy romance, family relationships and connections, the Italian Mob, suspense and much more. In the past, I’ve shied away from books dealing with mob or mafia but after reading this book and enjoying McNamee’s stories has really changed my perspective. For those readers intrigued or curious about this series, there are some great revelations throughout that keep the readers glued to the book till the end.

The Hawke Family complete collection by Gwyn McNamee is a six book series all wrapped into one. I was really excited to read this series as I had heard such good things and it did not disappoint. Overall, I am completely blown away at how great these books are. There are so many surprises and so much action and the perfect amount of spicy moments. I cannot wait to read more from this author. Savage Collision – Being book one in this series was truly an awesome book. The story follows Savage and Danika and their crazy whirlwind romance. The pair do not get off on the right foot but neither can deny the underlying attraction between them. Savage Hawke is the owner of several bars, restaurants and also, a gentleman’s club. Danika finds out her baby sister is now working there and comes to give him you know what for employing her sweet little sis. Each of them have their own secrets and it’s possible the will wreck what they’ve both come to work for. I really liked Savage, Dani made me angry a few times but overall this was a solid start to the series! Tortured Skye – Book two follows Skye and Gabe. I have to admit, I was so extremely happy to see Gabe and get the know the hardened man. The bonus member of the Hawke family thanks to his best friend, Savage, Gabe has been crushing on Skye for quite some time. But because of her being his best friends sister, he has stayed away from her. He’s not trying to risk the only family that’s ever cared for him. Throughout the years, Gabe has been someone Skye can lean on. Someone who’s given her advice and understood her. But after sharing a steamy moment, she cannot get him out of her head. Each of them have been through more pain and suffering than one should have to go through and have been handling it in their own way. Will they be the thing that the other needs most? Stone Sober – Book three in this series follows Stone and Nora. We first meet Nora in book one as she is Danika’s sister. Which means she works for Stones brother as a dancer in the club. Nora is just trying to figure out what she truly wants in life. After leaving medical school, she found a job at the club and though she is a spicy dancer, she is one of the most innocent people ever. Stone on the other hand is pretty much the bad boy that you’ve been warned about. Though incredibly handsome, this lawyer is mixed up in some stuff. Phew the amount of action and suspense in this book was crazy. It was so steamy that I was reading it so fast. This book was definitely one that caught me off guard with the emotions I felt. Building Storm – Book four follows the relationship between Storm and Landon. Storm is broken, she has lost everything and has to navigate her life with her daughter. If it weren’t for her family she would have nothing. Landon has dealt with his own troubles. He isn’t quite sure what healing he needs to do but with Storm, it just happens. This book is full of so much pain and so many tears, it just breaks your heart. But it’s also full of so much strength, love and growth. It is incredibly how two people can heal one another and find the inner peace that they each need. Tainted Saint – Saint and Caroline are coming in to play in book five. This is a fast read but still a great read. As the bouncer for the Hawkeye club, Saint comes off as one scary dude. He just wants to protect Caroline when she starts some sort of dangerous investigation. This novella was a great addition to the Hawke family. The pair were incredibly hot together. They had some amazing spicy moments. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. Steele Resolve – Byron and Luca’s story brings the Hawke family series to an end. Another novella in the series, it brings so many of the other stories together. The passion between the two of them was so beautiful. The only problem is that they are supposed to be enemies. Luca’s family has tried to destroy the Hawkes but the two of them cannot stay apart. What a great wrap to the series.

The Hawke Family Collection is amazing! Every story has different characters that are each dealing with their own issues and have to figure out how to resolve them. This author knows exactly how to reel you in with the perfect amount of steamy hot sexy scenes, fun banter between the character an emotional connections. These are definitely a must read!

First off wow! This series is such a page turner I cannot rave about it enough. Gwyn has become a new favorite author. Each book in the series focuses on different people. So you get a different point of view with each one. There is plenty of steam, excitement, romance and drama to keep you reading. I highly recommend this series.
Savage collision features Savage Hawke and Danika Eriksson. The good girl and the bad boy. Their chemistry is on fire from their first encounter.
Tortured Skye features Skye Hawke and Gabe Anderson all I will say is the phrase “forbidden love”
******** Stone Sober features Stone Hawke and Nora Eriksson although Nora works at the club, she’s still has such an innocent take on the world.
Building Storm is my favorite installment. This one features Storm Hawke and Landon McCabe. It’s full of grief, healing, romance, steam, and the unexpected.
*******
Tainted Saint is interesting because it’s the first story where a Hawke isn’t the center of it. Instead we focus on Solomon Clarke aka Saint a bouncer that works at the Hawkeye Club, and Caroline Brooks. This one is probably my second favorite!
Steele Resolve is the last installment in this series. It features Luca “Steele” Abello and Byron Harris. They shouldn’t be together but they cannot help themselves. If the others find out about it it can cost them their lives and hurt their loved ones.

Dunn – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba
Oh, what can I tell you about Savage Collision which is book 1 in this collection?! I can tell you that there are secrets and information being withheld for the purest of reasons. I can tell you this story will break your heart just a little and very nicely put it back together again. I can tell you this author can write a really good story! This story had me laughing, crying, and even panting! These two are super-hot together, but as with all good things, this too will end, right? With the secrets they each hide and the danger lurking around, can Danika and Savage really be it for each other? I, for one, have always said communication is the key to everything, this author has proven me wrong with this story. Some things really are on a need-to-know basis. I love being wrong, this time.
Book 2 in this collection is Tortured Skye and is about Savage’s little sister Skye, and Savage’s best friend Gabe. And even though Skye is all grown up, Savage is still an overprotective big brother. Gabe is Savage’s best friend, actually raised more like brothers. Skye and Gabe should be off limits to each other but you really can’t help who you lust after…or is it really love? Skye is determined to have Gabe. She’s loved him for as long as she can remember, even when he only thought of her as a little sister. Gabe is determined to hide his feelings for Skye. He feels like he will just drag her down with his war time nightmares, crazy father and with her being like a little sister to him. But hang on to your hats, there’s a hurricane a-coming! Not only the hurricane of feelings but the actual weather system itself. When things seem to go wrong what can make it right again? How about a little sex?!? The sex between these two is super-hot, which seems to be the way with the Hawke family. But they also ground each other, making everything feel right. And then there’s a little more unexpected crazy thrown in and maybe being together isn’t so bad. But then there’s Savage. His name is Savage for a reason!
Book one is Savage Collision. Book two is Tortured Skye. Book 3 is Stone Sober. This is my favorite story line so far but I am still #TeamSavage! I really loved this story and I still love the Hawke family! This book was easy to read with lines and thoughts as simple as: “Maybe in another world, another life, another time, things could be different.” Sounds like the same old story but this author is able to kick it up more than just a notch, she kicks it in high gear. This story is hot! Exciting! And oh my! those “large black lacquered wardrobes” and all the things they held inside! No wonder Nora was feeling a little confused.
Then comes Building Storm which is book 4. Storm is Savage’s other sister. And this is her story. Storm is suffering one of the biggest losses a person can suffer. How can she continue being a mom, a sister, even alive at all. What could possibly make breathing easier? Is mindless sex really the answer? Well, it couldn’t hurt to try. Enter Landon. At a sex party no less. Their eyes meet across a crowded room…well yeah that happened. But this connection is so much more. They both feel it but the timing is all wrong. Can these two overcome their pasts to enjoy their present and build a future, either alone or together? Another story by this author that is oh so hot, not safe for work and must be read in order.
This author’s stories never fail when it comes to making the characters ache and yearn for each other. Her stories never fail at making the reader sigh or want to continue reading. I love how these main characters, Caroline and Saint, have been watching each other, both thinking the other is out of their league and unattainable. I love when they finally realize their feelings. But of course, their story isn’t just as simple as that. There has to be a “bad guy” who tries to mess everything up.
The last story in this series is Steele Resolve. 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!
The Hawke Family collection is one collection you do not want to miss! And to think there is a second generation on its way!!
Suspense, gripping, emotional roller coaster of a story. This is the first book of a new series plus this is also a new author to me.
Hunter and Selma are both doctors and totally in love….and the care they have for not only their patients but for each other really tug at my heart. Both Hunter and Selma have had trauma with past relationships and have to jump that hurdle to have love for each other. When Selma volunteers to travel to another county to help less fortunate patients at a refugee camp in another country…Hunter feels like Selma is running away. What is she running from? When a deadly outbreak of a virus is added to the mix….will Hunter be able to save Selma and her patients before it is to late?
This story had me at the edge of my seat….secrets, deadly viruses and also something more sinister and lurking behind the shadows personally against Hunter and Selma. Will they be able to figure out the puzzle to help save their patients……

Dunn – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
I love finding a great boxset of books and I could not put these books down! I was drawn in by the writing and was intrigued by the synopsis on the books. I found myself wanting to just sit and seclude myself in a room away from everyone wanting to read the books. It had everything that I wanted in a book, including action, romance, a great story line! I loved it all and I cannot wait to read more books by this author! I cannot wait to tell my friends about these books so that they can read them as well and we can all tallk about our favorite parts together!

This series I can say wothout a doubt, will instantly pull you in. It follows the Hawke family (and a few individuals close to them) as they navigate their oftentimes, complicated life. Although each book can be read separately, they build on each other and help significantly by starting from book one; which I highly recommend. The character development continues to grow with the series and each book brings on a new emotion.
Book One The books follows Savage and Danika and their unlikely romance. They find each other in the most unlikely of places and although neither was expecting to find love, they are perfect for each other. Dani is the perfect amount of spice that Savage needs and Savage is the calm that Dani needs. The action is just starting in this book.
Book Two Gabe and Skye should not work. They’ve known eachother since they were kids. Everyone sees them as family but the two have had feelings that they’re having a hard time denying. Only time will tell if this can work. You can definitely feel how each other souls are tortured but looking for that someone.
Book Three Stone has been strange until it’s revealed he’s been helping Uncle Dom. Nora is sweet with a hint of spice. Stone doesn’t think he’s good enough for Nora and Nora thinks Stone is a pig, and yet, they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Another book with hope, love, and heartache. This book has by far the most action so far in the series and makes you wanting more.
Book Four Storm has not had it easy and heartache has her trapped in her own head. Landon is desperately trying to escape his past. It the most unexpected ways they cross each other’s paths. This is by far the most emotional and heart wrenching book so far in the series. There could be several triggering moments but it is dealt with in a caring and heartfelt manner. This may be my favorite book so far.
Book Five Such a sweet short story of finding love where you least expect it. I love seeing stories of the background characters that played a role in the Hawke family. Caroline and Saint, although not major characters in the first four books, are very important to the family. Lot of detail packed in a small package.
Book Six This book brought the series full circle with a surprising ending. I really enjoyed the final conclusion being about Luca and Byron. Their relationship, i feel, was really important. There were hints of this conclusion in the last few books and you’ll find yourself saying “Oh, that makes sense now”. Great series.
This was such a great intense romance book. I truly had a hard time putting it down. The author did a great job with the thought process of the storyline, plot, characters etc. As soon as I read the first chapter it had my attention. This book was about how love can be found in unexpected ways. I highly recommend this book.
This collection of novels encompasses all of the novels in Gwyn Mcnamee’s first generation of the Hawke family series. All six books Savage Collison, Tainted Sky, Stone Sober, Building Storm, Tainted Saint, and Steele Resolve are all wonderful, well written books that will suck you in from the start and not let go. I wanted to devour all six books at once, but you know, life, so I had to pace myself but they are something you will want to spend a lot of time devouring because they are incredibly addicting, full of action, and lots of steamy romance from story to story. I have added this author to my auto buy list, I am looking forward to her next series concerning the second generation of the Hawke family series, and checking out her back log of books that have already been released.

sinfully deliSharing His Nanny and it was HOT, Hot, hot! This is the second book in the Forever Our Girl series. I love that the main FMC was BBW comfortable in her own skin. This Erotica Rom Com has it all for one sexual, sensual, spicy, steamy story. Think Three Men and a Baby only with a super sexy nanny and erotica. The story is interesting and engaging and is plot driven and as we get to know the characters and follow their journey. They each have their own voice as told in their own POV giving a deeper insight into what is happening. I fell in love with each of them and felt for them when things were rough. This reverse harem story is chock-a-block full of everything – stepbrother/stepsister, brother’s best friends, age gap, bi, MM/FMM/MFM/FMMM, D/s and kink tropes then you will like this one. Some would say it is full of taboo themes but I think it is just the way it is meant to be. There is a lot going on and there is humour and a little angst. Some things annoyed me at times but hey they are only (fictional) human. She needs financial backing and he needs a nanny, simple right? All in all it was a sinfully delightful fun read and I look forward to reading more from this author.

This was a really good series. It follows the Hawke family siblings and their friends. Set in New Orleans, you get clubs, murder, mob, hurricanes and lots of family drama! Some very streamy scenes as well. Well written and you get to really know the characters as they develop.

Skye is his best friend, his brother (no in blood) little sister. Gabe knows she’s off limits but he can’t help to regret walking away that night, that kiss Skye has been in love with Gabe since she was 16.
Another steamy read by this author. Second in a series. I did read the first but you could probably get away with reading as a stand alone

Handle with Care is the first book in a new series Chase Care. It is a spin off from one of my favourite series Chase Security series which I love, love, love. After reading this book I am just as in love with the characters and can’t wait to see where the rest of the series goes. This story is not for the feint hearted. It is a fast paced, medical romance thriller that will have your heart pumping and you on the edge of your seat. It is a tale that feels all so real with the current pandemic and what could be. As the pages turn there is plenty of action, the tension is palpable, the fear is real and there is danger is around every corner. It is a world turned upside down where revenge seems sweet, redemption seems impossible and love is a complication. These brave and heroic men and women know what they are walking into and are willing to put their lives on the line to save others in the most selfless act. BUT can they save them all including themselves? I am not going to ruin the story with spoilers as it is one of those stories that you need to discover thread by thread that RL carefully wove all on your own. As always, I look forward to the next book Tender Loving Care (Seth and Poppy’s story) with bated breath.

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful romance story. This is the first book in this author’s new series. I have enjoyed this author’s stories from the first one I picked up. I enjoy her writing skills as well as her attention to details that make her characters pop. This book is no different. This is a well written story where the characters bring the story to life and take me on a journey of romance and suspense. I enjoyed how the characters were connectable which made them pull me in from the first word. They have great growth and chemistry throughout the story. You don’t want to miss the twists and turns that had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. This is a fast paced, engaging, full of action story that is hard to put down. What a great start to a new series and I look forward to reading the next book. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Married Blind is available now in Paperback and eBook ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️ Book Review
Meet the Author: Morgana Bevan is a sucker for a rock star romance, particularly if it involves a soul-destroying breakup or strangers waking up in Vegas. She’s a contemporary romance author based in Wales. When Morgana’s not writing steamy rock star and movie star romances, she is working in TV production in the UK.
Synopsis: Married blind is the second book in the King of Screens series. Abi is a devoted sister, working three jobs to help pay her sisters medical bills. When her sister became ill she promised to stand by her side. When given the opportunity to go on a reality TV show for three months for income, it’s a no brainer. Finn, needing a chance to improve his image following some previous relationship shenanigans, agrees to take part in the reality show, but not without cost to the producers.
Reader’s Thoughts: This forced proximity, marriage of convenience, Hollywood romance is full of witty banter, tension, spice, and flirty fun. Although this is the second book within the series, it can be read as a standalone with no negative effect on the story line. The characters are relatable and lovable. If asked to pick a favorite character, I couldn’t pick just one. I enjoyed Abi and Finn equally for different reasons. When all was said and done they truly did make the perfect couple. The story line was a little far-fetched for my liking and I felt as if I knew the outcome from the very beginning. Despite this little hiccup, it would not deter me from recommending this fun read to a friend. I’m interested to see what is in store for book number three.

I thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series, and ‘binge read’ this collection having been hooked from page one. Each story is about a different member of the Hawke family, and should be read in order, so as to fully understand and enjoy the storylines. I liked how the main characters were recurring throughout the series, and enjoyed ‘catching up’ with those who’s story had already been told. The wonderfully detailed descriptive narrative brought both the characters and the setting vividly to life, making me feel fully immersed in the Hawke family’s world. The storyline and plot twists and turns have kept me happily turning the pages, completely gripped. I was desperate to read the next book in the series as soon as I had finished the previous one! I remained captivated by the Hawke family and their world throughout all six books. Each book had amazing world building, atmospheric settings, wonderful main characters and supporting ones, plenty of drama and suspense, and of course romance. The romance did lead to some steamy scenes, and the chemistry between each couple sizzled off the page. Each main character was very well defined and their relationships developed in each book. This collection is an entertaining and engaging read, and I am sad to be leaving the Hawke family behind. However, I am glad that I have read it and definitely recommend reading all six books.

I am absolutely floored by the sheer genius of how this author flawlessly delivers this collection. I read quite a bit, and this is by far the best collection I have read in SUCH a long time. I picked it up by chance but I could not be happier about my choice. I was completely and utterly absorbed in these stories from page one until the very last word. Gwyn McNamee seamlessly blends each story together with plenty of steamy scenes, suspenseful action, and romance.
Savage Collision started the collection off and gave me a glimpse of what I was getting into (hint: it was amazing) After reading about Savage and Dani, I dove straight into Tortured Skye without any hesitation at all. I loved the beautifully written damaged hero and their forbidden romance.
I feel like the author picks up and continues the Hawke family stories so well with the third and fourth books in the series, Stone Sober, and Building Storm. As with the previous two, there are plenty of steamy scenes and drama abound, so buckle up! Stone Sober took me a minute to warm up to because the sibling drama threw me for a bit, but once I got further into the story, I fell in love again (no surprise). Gwyn does such an exquisite job creating not just a story to read but characters whose lives you feel part of while you’re reading. Building Storm is an incredible second-chance romance that will give you all the hope, but of course has all the drama that this author builds so well!
These shorter but equally astounding reads bring the Hawke Family Collection to an end. While I’m sad to end such an incredibly wonderful series, I am beyond happy to have found this author and the Hawke Family. I will definitely be following Gwyn McNamee in the future to see what other magical journey she has for us. Tainted Saint brings more pieces to the puzzle and though it is a quicker read, you’ll still love to see what drama and heat happens here! Steele Resolve brings everything to the close where you’ll get a resolution whether you like it or not. I loved every little bit of these books. Pick up the entire collection and save yourself the time of thinking on it, you will fall head over heels for all of them!
Sometimes you stumble upon a series and you wonder where it has been your whole life. You can’t read it fast enough and yet you also do not want it to end. The Hawke Family is that series. Each book gets better than the last. These characters have so much depth to them and there is so much drama that it keeps the pages turning. Plus they are so very steamy. They are so good, I definitely recommend them, especially if you are looking for a new series that won’t disappoint!

Madame Elinor Chalamet is knee deep in murder, mystery, and ghosts again after being invited to attend the Winter Revel being held in Vouvont. All she wants to do is relax and enjoy the delicious foods being prepared by some of the best chefs around. Instead of enjoying her holiday, Madame Chalamet finds herself face to face once again with the Duke de Archambeau, Tristan Fontaine, and his overbearing mother and sister who criticize her every chance they get.
Madame Chalamet tries to make the best of her holiday and uses her ghost talker powers to help a young girl in a bake shop with her ghostly brother as well as a widow who has her husband’s ghost attached to her. When someone tries to poison the king, Madame Chalamet attempts to solve the mystery but finds herself instead working with the Duke de Archambeau who has taken it upon himself to solve the mystery of the attempted murder of the king.
This was Book 2 in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series and builds on the story from the first book. In the first book we are introduced to Madame Chalamet, her sidekick Charlotte laRue, the Duke de Archambeau, and the Duke’s sister and mother, Lady Valentina, and the Duchesse de Chambaux. Lady Valentina and the Duchesse de Chambaux do not think highly of Madame Chalamet or what she does for a living. Madame Chalamet does not live up to their ideals or fall into the same social class as they do and is therefore beneath them.
Book 2 builds on the romantic tension between Madame Chalamet and the Duke de Archambeau. Both try to ignore any attraction to the other because they are from two different social classes and a relationship between them is forbidden. This book is action packed from the beginning with murder, mystery, mayhem, ghosts, suspense, and even a bit of humor. I loved learning more about our beloved characters from the first book and about who they are as well as their strengths and weaknesses. I loved both the historical and the paranormal aspects of the story. This book was very well written, and I cannot wait to read the third book in the series!

I really enjoyed the Chase Security series by this author and was excited when I saw that she had done a spin off series, this time focusing on doctors. As with her other books I found myself engaging with this story immediately. I liked that this book felt like it was part of the same world as the other series but had a different feel to it due to the different focus of the characters. And it was nice that the main basis of the story was the romance, it felt like there was so much more going on. The characters were instantly relatable. I enjoyed their story and getting to learn about their past. The author has done an amazing job with this book and I already cannot wait to see what the rest of the series holds.

This is the entire saga of the Hawke family and everything that is entailed behind the scenes. The emotions of this family from start to finish is amazing. This author absolutely nailed it with this! I will absolutely be reaching for more by her. As always check trigger and content warnings. The final novella was my absolute favorite and she never let me down. She absolutely makes you feel every raw emotion and feeling.
I enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and there was some really interesting plotlines in it. I enjoyed the medical part a little more than I did the romance parts of the story. I would be interested to read others in the series. I definitely would pick up another book by this author.

These books definitely didn’t disappoint one bit! Gwyn put as much into these books as she did in Night Hawke. I seriously found myself reading these books every chance I had…these books were 100%-page turners! I found myself lost in not only the steamy parts of the book, but the mystery and back story as well. Gwyn has a talent for creating in-depth story plotlines and characters with intriguing skill! And yes, there is a lot of steamy scenes, but what I really enjoyed is that it is not purely sex-filled romance, but there was plenty of action and suspense, which really created deeper stories.
Savage Collision: Savage….what a name…and what a man! Gwyn has a way of describing a beautiful character with a kind soul, but of course is described to be as hot as a man can be! But with every kind soul, there’s a past lingering its ugly face in the background…and Savage has to deal with that and more!
Savage is introduced to a woman named Dani…has Savage met his match when it comes to Dani? Is Dani falling for Savage…will their relationship work out beyond “friends”…there’s only one way to find out and that is to read the book yourself! I promise you…this is a page turner that you will not want to put down!
Tortured Skye:
The second book in the Hawke Family Series, and it was as good as the first book! Gwyn may honestly be one of my new favorite authors! This book was well written and didn’t lack in anything! Skye and Gabe are the two main characters in the second book, and there were times when the author had me wondering how these two were ever going to connect! But like the other books I have read by Gwyn…she magically found a way to bring everything together! She writes with such detail and has this way of creating world’s that you can easily find yourself lost in!
I really enjoyed Gabe and his story, his journey was a unique one, and Skye just adds to the plot! There’s emotion, attraction, passion, and so much more! I hope that you find yourself as lost in the books as what I was!
Wow!!!!…. really, I mean wow! Once again, Gwyn has not disappointed one bit! In a way I think that the series has gotten even better in these two installments. The author has upped her game even more by providing intriguing, page-turning storylines. Like any good family dirt…there are secrets that run deep in the first two books, and more secrets are revealed in these next two books, which really helped suspense and the world building!
Stone Sober: This one was interesting and had a darker vibe than the others. Stone is introduced to a woman named Nora, and the two of them find that they are drawn to each other, but there’s one problem…they are not at all alike. There are plenty of secrets, darkness and just the overall unknown that creates tension that keeps you turning the page to find out more and to try to learn more about Stone and Nora!
Building Storm:
Storm finds herself in a unexpected situation and is trying to piece her life back together after what can only be described as losing it all. She has to try to be strong because she has her daughter to look after and is trying her best to live life through all of the pain that she has endured! She isn’t looking for love but lo and behold, apparently love has found her! And the hardest thing for Storm is that she has been through so much, that she doesn’t even realize that love has found her! Landon McCabe is looking for a fresh start after being a man on the run. He figures why not start fresh in New Orleans…nothing can go wrong there…right?! Well let’s just say that Landon and Storm find themselves both coming from broken situations and have no idea that the healing compound is each other! You must read in order to find out what else goes on between Storm and Landon!
Like all things…. the series has come to an end with these last 2 books, I’m sad to see this series come to an end, but it was definitely entertaining while it lasted! Gwyn built a wonderful world, with amazing characters that all had unique characteristics and backstories that truly captivates the reader. Gwyn didn’t disappoint with these last 2 books and gave it the proper ending without leaving you thinking what if or that’s it!
Tainted Saint: This book was a shorter read than the previous 4 books but was still satisfying and entertaining. It was nice that Gwyn made sure that all of the characters from the previous stories continued to find their way into each book….and this book was no different! There were familiar characters, romance, steaminess, mystery and secrets!
Caroline is introduced in this book, and she has found out that she has an eye for Saint, a bouncer of one of the clubs. Does Caroline also catch Saint’s eye or is she in for a rude awakening? Gwyn didn’t go as in depth with this story, but she still continues to provide the reader with a story that has plenty of twists and turns!
Steele Resolve:
When I say I didn’t expect an ending like that…I mean it was truly unexpected, but still a satisfying ending to an amazing series! We met Byron in the first book of the series and wonder what happened to him? Well Gwyn waited until the last book to bring Byron back as a main character, and it was worth the wait! He has been featured as an amazing loyal and enjoyable supporting character, but I was glad to see that he got his own story in the series!
This book would be considered another quick read, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t full of emotion and suspense! Steele…is she good for Byron, is she bad for Byron? Does poor Byron even know which way he needs to go…will his heart win or will it be his family that gets the last laugh? This story takes us on an adventure with Byron and his journey of who he is.
I’m sad that the series is over, but I can’t complain with how Gwyn ended it. It was well thought out and very entertaining! All I can say is Happy Reading!

The Hawke Family books each focus on a different member of the Hawke family and their romantic interest – this can sometimes put me off a series if the underlying story suffers as a result, but I can assure you that this is not the case with this collection. I really enjoyed how the ongoing story continued throughout the books and was written in a way that made the books flow well as a series whilst ensuring that it didn’t detract from the romances (and vice versa!). I was initially concerned that the stories would end up being very similar and blur into one, but they were certainly unique, and each kept me gripped to the end! The characters each had differing motivations, ways in which they overcame challenges and interactions with others, and this left me falling in love with all of them as their stories unraveled. They were well written, and it was great to witness events from both sides lending a greater understanding to their building relationships and actions. These easy and enjoyable reads are considered romance novels but there is also danger throughout which go well together and flow nicely. I would recommend this collection to anyone who loves a steamy romance but also enjoys elements of action and suspense. I read these back-to-back unwilling to put them down so I can’t wait for the second-generation books to all be released so I can dive into those but in the meantime, I will be reading other books by this author!
