Chasing Redemption is the second book in the Quimby Grove series by Shannon Nikole. This second instalment is a wonderful follow up to Finding Starlight, but can be read as a standalone because it focuses on a different couple. This is an emotional contemporary romance that strummed my heartstrings the whole way through- and I was completely invested int the characters and the outcome of their story. I loved returning to Quimby Cove and am looking forward to Book #3. Happy Reading…

Max has never forgotten the mystery woman he had one very hot moment in time with, his Princess, so when she suddenly walks back into his life with some very surprising news he knows this is his chance to see if they can have something real! Marley and Max are wonderful characters with loads of heart and love to give if only they can work out who keeps trying to hurt the family they are trying to create. I loved returning to Quimby Grove and getting to read more about Max. Having read the first book in this fantastic series I knew Max and having liked him a lot in that book I was really looking forward to his story. Don’t get me wrong you can read this wonderful book without having read the first book in the series and still completely enjoy it but honestly do yourself a favour and read the first one as well.

Handle with care, hmmm one of my favorite books by Jodi Picoult. I HAD to read this one to see if the book lived up to its name. My goodness, did this book go about and beyond my expectations. Completely blew them out of the water. The emotions described in this book, from each main character to each other, to the pain/hurt/anguish towards their patients. I could not get enough. I swear I almost fell off my seat because I kept scooting forward as I was reading. I cannot wait to read more in this series, and any other books by this author!

I definitely found this book relatable. As a healthcare worker, you can never deal with grief the same as when you work in the field before or after quite the same as before choosing this profession. Also being from New Orleans, I found a personal sense of connection to the book even more so which is why I started reading it in the first place. It makes it that more familiar and more interesting to me to feel a strong connection. But besides the obvious connections, the storyline of these two’s story of departing onto foreign waters test their union in matters of life or death. Another reason I loved this is because I went through something similar during coronavirus and my love life at the time but it was less theatrical than this book. But this book is a tale you’d never forget. It takes you down a rabbit hole of emotions. I absolutely enjoyed this. Great read!!!!

Chasing Redemption (The Quimby Grove Series Book 2) by Shannon Nikole. I’m loving this series. This is Max’s story and I loved it. Max met a beautiful lady years ago and they had a one night stand and neither one of them have forgotten each other. They don’t know how to locate each other because they didn’t even get each others names! Marley has continued on with life and has been raising her twins. She can’t get Max out of her mind and no one measures up. When Max sees Marley at a wedding he makes a bee line for her and vows never to let her go again. Marley is nervous because she has a secret she has to tell Max. Will he accept this secret and still love Marley or will he walk away again. This is such a great second chance love story.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Handle with Care is the first book in the Chase Care Series. I’ve read a couple of the Chase Security books so I know a couple of the characters. This book is an amazing read.
Hunter, a doctor for Chase Security, is losing his mind. His wife is out of town and will be for a while. He feels that she is hiding something from him, but he isn’t sure what it is. When she comes back will he be able to fix what was broken? The quote I chose for Hunter is: “Medical complaints are the most elusive to chase down. I’d rather we overdo than underdo. Keep me posted. Next.”
Selma is running from her past. She doesn’t want to let Hunter know what is going on so she runs. When she gets no response from Hunter she is worried that she broke everything. What will happen when she goes back? The quote I chose for Selma is: “That was when you were created, little one.”

You absolutely fall in love with all of the characters in this series! Savage and Dani, Gabe and Skye, Stone and Nora, Storm and Landon, Saint and Caroline, and Byron and Luca are all absolute dream couples. Some finding each other at the lowest moments in their lives, some crashing in like a hurricane, and some moving in after waiting until they finally get their chance at forever.
These books have everything you could possibly want! Steam, a plot that makes you never want to finish the book, and characters that make you want to be a part of their lives. The writing, the excitement, the uncertainty at times makes this a series you do not want to miss!
Fall into this wonderful world of Romance, suspense and continuous wonder now!

Dunn – Review by Heidi Schoolman
Book 1 – Savage Collision This is Savage and Danita’s story. A brilliant start to the series and a great introduction to the Hawke Family.
Book 2 Tortured Skye This is Skye and Gabe’s story. I totally loved Gabe in book 1 and wasn’t sure about Skye – but by the end of this one she had won my heart.
Book 3 Stone Sober Up until now Stone had always been in the background in the previous books. Finally he gets his story and we get more of Nora., Danika’s sister. Their story is intense.
Book 4 Building Storm This is the eldest Hawke daughter, Storm’s story. This cut deep emotionally. We also get to meet Landon and together these two have had their fair share of heartache.
Book 5 Tainted Saint This is Saint and Caroline’s story. Caroline is Danika’s best friend and Saint is a new bouncer at the club. This is their story.
Book 6 Steele Resolve This is Byron, the manager of Savage’s club and Luca “Steele’s” story. It’s an enemy to lovers M/M romance. It’s different, in a good way, to the rest of the series.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this collection. It was fantastically written and my interest was peaked in every book. Highly recommend the whole series and best read in order.

Oh my heavens! This is the cutest followup to Finding Starlight. Max and Marley’s story is the sweetest. A one-nighter that brings a surprise four years later. The chemistry is still their and the twins are absolutely adorable. Can’t tell you anymore. You have to read this book. Watching these two work through their relationship is funny and charming and romantic even with parenting issues. The characters, yes, old favorites make appearances, are still as charming and unique, yet just like out of a small town. The storyline feels real and you’ll find yourself relating to. I’ll be adding this to my favorites for 2023. The year is off to a wonderful start!. I can’t wait for the next book.

Byron has been a trusted bar manger Hawkeye Club and made family member of the Hawke’s. Now that Luca is in town and planning to take over his fathers business the distrust of anything he says to the Hawke can be believed.
No one has seen Luca since he was a young child when he and his mom were sent away. Luca had gone by the name Steele before he came back to New Orleans. When he walks into the for a meeting with all the Hawkes, Bryon is in shock because this was his one night stand from the bar a few weeks back. Steele is Luca. The connection Luca and Byron had has them both thinking of the night constantly.
This is a Romeo and Juliet story.. Betrayal, guilt, lies and manipulation. This book has it all.

Have you ever had a crush on someone for quite awhile from afar? Saint was at the BDSM club masquerade party the same night that Caroline dragged Storm to go with her. Saint knew Caroline when he saw her even with a mask on. Saint finally gets the nerve to do something about this crush and takes Caroline to a private room in the club. Caroline is carefree and willing to have a great time with the illusion that Saint has no idea who she is and that it will never happen again.
Caroline is bored getting fluff pieces to write about at work and decides she is going to investigate the new crime boss in the city. She wants to ensure the Hawkes’ safety and advance at work.
When Saint finds out, all heck breaks loose. This is a shorter story but will keep your attention from beginning to end.

Handle With Care is the first book in the Chase Care Series by R.L Dunn. It’s a bit of a spin-off from the Chase Security series and is every bit as good as I had hoped it would be. A full-on, action-packed medical/romantic suspense- with danger, mystery, suspense, violence, thrills, agendas, secrets, intrigue, chemistry, sizzle, ….. and soooo much more. I really enjoyed this book as Ms. Dunn wove a complex plot that had me intrigued from the outset. This is a multi-layered story full of clever interconnected details which gives it an unpredictable quality that kept me guessing the whole way through. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Bring on Book #2! Happy Reading…

Stone is treated like the black sheep of the family because of his loyalty to Dom and his being irresponsible. When he is called back home to help Dom legally, he is forced into dangerous situations.
Nora, as we know, is Danika’s sister and is working at The Hawkeye Club. We still don’t know why Nora left med school and she isn’t about to tell anyone soon. When Nora finds out at a Hawke family dinner that Stone is the one watching her from afar, she tells herself the attraction she has for him will never work.

And an incredible night on the beach that would alter their lives forever.
After a one-night stand with a handsome stranger, Marley Halligan has accepted her life for what it is – a hot mess. Working as an event planner in New York City and being a single mother to her twins, Marley’s life was chaotic enough. She never imagined that she’d run into the father of her children in the small town of Quimby Grove, Pennsylvania.
Max Quinn had been determined to find the gorgeous blond that captured his attention on the beach all those years ago. She was sassy, beautiful, and lit something within him. He knew that she was the one. The only problem was, he didn’t know anything about her – not even her name. But everything changes whenever he spots her from across the room at his best friend’s wedding. Determined to get her to stay in town, he will do anything for another shot with the one that got away.
As if navigating parenthood together wasn’t difficult enough, an unusual string of crimes are committed in Quimby Grove, each worse than the one before it, with Marley landing smack dab in the middle of them all.
Will Marley and Max be able to reignite their spark and solidify their family roots before the town’s tragedies tear them apart? Or are they destined to go their separate ways?

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. I felt like I was getting more than one story in this book. Since I work in a hospital it was fun reading about this couple. These two had a great connection and learning about their pasts helped get to know them better. It was great seeing secondary characters from another series. I had some LOL moments along with being on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

Dunn – Review by Michelle Austin
How have I never read a book by Gwyn McNamee until now? Let me just tell you this author is a master at filling her stories with strong, interesting characters along with tantalizing writing that packs an emotional punch and keeps you drawn into the story until the final page. I’m so excited I found this wonderful compilation of all six stories in the Hawke Family Series. You might think six stories is a long read, but as each one brings something completely different, then the next you will be forever engrossed in the lives of these characters. Though this series can be read as standalone books, I recommend reading them together, as some previous characters will make cameos in other books while other characters will even play major parts in their family and friends’ lives, helping us get backstory and connecting them all together nicely.
This complete collection of all six stories in The Hawke Family series includes:
-Savage Collision (Book #1) Danika & Savage’s story
-Tortured Skye (Book #2) Gabe & Skye’s story
-Stone Sober (Book #3) Stone & Nora’s story
-Building Storm (Book #4) Storm & Landon’s story
-Tainted Saint (Book #5) Caroline & Saint’s story
-Steele Resolve (Book #6) Luca & Byron’s story
The Hawke family have a lot going on in their lives which is to be expected as they hail from the never-sleeping city of New Orleans. These siblings and friends face challenges most wouldn’t dream of, especially having to deal with the mob, club dancers, and their own personal conflicts. I love how they cone together for each other no what they are facing and dealing with in their lives.
While I loved all the stories in this series Savage Collision (Book #1) Danika & Savage’s story was definitely my favorite by far. I love that Dani is a strong / confident woman who isn’t afraid of Savage and his need to control pretty much everything. It was nice to see Savage’s vulnerability with his heartbreaking story and how he developed from it. I would love to go into detail about each of these amazing books, but we would definitely be here all day, and I know I would give away too many spoilers. So I’ll just say pick up this series and watch these characters grow and face challenges as they experience passion, love, and hard choices in their lives. Before you start reading, though you want to find a comfy chair, because if your like me you won’t come up for air until several hours later, these stories are just that good and addictive.

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!

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.
