Ruthless Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras
Ruthless Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Having read the prequel, I do believe you need to read it to truly understand the main characters’ and what transpired between them, however I would say it is still possible to enjoy without it as the author does a good job of providing the important details.
I’ve read the entire Hawke collection so it felt right to be returning to the family for another suspenseful adventure. As usual I got far too emotionally invested in the lives of the main characters, Jack and Isaac, and how their story would play out. I enjoyed seeing how they had both grown since their last encounter and that there was still that person within each of them.
The author did a great job in showing how the events that had occurred happened since their last meeting had shaped them, but also in re-building their previous chemistry without it feeling forced or cheapening the steamy scenes between them.
As usual there were moments, I found myself wanting to scream and knock some sense into the pair, especially given the danger that surrounded them, but their journey wouldn’t be as entertaining without these moments of frustration.
The writing style the author uses is easy to follow and the scenes flow nicely making falling deep within the pages so easy. I lost track of time reading this novel and I can’t wait for the release of the next book to fall back into the world that the Hawke family inhabit once again!
