Tainted Saint is another incredible read in The Hawke Family Series, every book in this series has been brilliant from start to finish and this one is no exception.
To me, for the best experience of this book, it should be read as part of a series and not as a stand-alone. You will not be disappointed with this read, it is full of twists & turns that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout. Once again Gwyn McNamee has created two incredible characters that have been introduced to us throughout the rest of the series, they have always been ones to intrigue me so I really was looking forward to getting Saint & Caroline’s story, and boy oh boy their story was captivating at that.
This is another story that should not be missed, along with the rest of this incredible series from Gwyn McNamee, and that ending is not to be missed! This is a series that you will not regret reading and becoming captivated with! Do Not Miss This Read!

I absolutely love the Hawke Family series! I was sad when the last of the family’s book was complete. Even though the Hawkes are not the main characters, I loved getting little looks of them. I was concerned that I wouldn’t like this book as much, but Gwyn McNamee has done a wonderful job. I am so glad that I read it.
This book focuses on Caroline, Dani’s best friend, and Saint, an employee of Savage. We have met these characters in previous books, but I enjoyed getting to learn more about them. Caroline is a mixture of tough as nails and vulnerability. Saint wants to protect those he cares about and is often too hard on himself. I think that they are a terrific couple. This was a wonderful addition to this series!

The fifth instalment in the Hawke Family Series, Tainted Saints throws us straight back into the dark and mysterious mafia world of New Orleans. We’ve come to love the Hawke family and each time we get a new glimpse of their world I can feel the anticipation and excitement building. Tainted Saint was no disappointment and I loved learning more about Caroline and Saint. This is a great instalment to the series and another five star read!
During the previous book, Building Storm, I really became interested in Caroline’s character and learning more about her. She comes across as quiet and shy, so I was waiting for someone to bring her out of her shell. Queue Saint, and what a wonderful job he did. From their very first, secretive, meeting during a rather intimate party, the chemistry between them had the book on fire. My eyes couldn’t read quick enough to get to the next sexy scene as the two of them have a connection that is just so addictive. This book also has its fair share of drama, which is expected when it comes to the Hawkes. As usual, they can’t help but insert themselves into something dangerous, which is the very reason we love them so much.
Tainted Saint proves that series can continue to be just as good at book five as it was at book one and two. I love the Hawke family and I know so many other people do, too. I’m so excited for the next instalment; bring on Luca!

Tainted Saint is the fifth story in Gwyn McNamee’s Hawke Family series and what a series it is! Every single book takes you deeper into the Hawke Family universe and you are left panting for more! Every story is a complete story BUT they do need to be read in order as you would be totally lost if you picked any of them up randomly! Some stories are the Hawke sibling stories and some of them are of secondary characters so I see good news in that as there is a load of writing material for our great Gwyn McNamee! Tainted Saint is the story of Soloman “Saint” Clarke and Caroline Brooks. We have met both of them in the previous stories! Caroline is best friends with Dani so she meets Saint when visiting with Dani at the club the Hawke guys are running. Saint is protective and has a heart of gold and Caroline tests his patient to no end! Bring together two strong personalities that lust after each other and you get fireworks! There is some suspense and danger floating around in this novella and it will leave us with a cliffhanger (sort of) so I cannot wait for the next story in the series!

5+++++++ Stars
I’ve been dying to know more about Caroline since she has been weaved in an out of many of the other books in this series. She is Dani’s best friend and I’m so glad she got her own book. I’m also so glad she is just as feisty as I thought she would be and her move walking into that office and facing Luca was brilliant, a little crazy but simply brilliant.
I love this series, it’s one of those that I will read again back to back in the future, although I really don’t want it to ever end. Don’t even try to read any of these out of order…You need everything from book 1 on to get the full picture of everything taking place in all of these stories.
You could almost feel the heat radiating off the kindle reading the interactions between Saint and Caroline and you could also feel the frustration as Caroline just wasn’t one of those women that takes orders very well and poor Saint lol
I am completely invested in this family’s story and the way this one ended Oh My Word the next in this series can not come soon enough.
One click this author, seriously it doesn’t matter what she writes but this series is amazing and I just know you will love it as much as I do.

*This is part of a series and to fully understand everyone and the events happening, must start with book 1*
We finally get Saints story, i was so excited. He’s intrigued me from the beginning of this series, and I’ve waited patiently to see if he got a book. And this did NOT disappoint. Saint is a bouncer and part of the security team for the Hawke family and they’re places of business. I knew he had a past that would explain how he got to where he is now, but it wasn’t exactly what I expected! Caroline turns into a blabbering idiot when Saint is around so she doesn’t think he’s ever even noticed her. Can one night change the course of her plan?
This series just gets better and better and that ending?! Did not see that coming at all.

Tainted Saint was a great 5 star read and book #5 in the Hawke Family. I was pulled in once again by Gwyn McNamee’s writing, I couldn’t put it down until I was done.
Saint and Caroline were great, you could feel their connection coming of the pages. Saint works security in the clubs and Caroline is a reporter. When she goes to a masquerade party she believes she has anonymity but Saint knows who she is. Will their one night turn into more? Or will Saint continue to feel like he’s not good enough?
Overall this is a thrilling edge of your seat read with some steamy moments as well. The secondary characters were great as usual. You can read this book as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading the series so you can’t connect better with the characters. I can’t wait to read more from Gwyn and this series.

Tainted Saint (Hawke Family #5) by Gwyn McNamee 5 out of 5stars Tainted saint is the fifth book in the Hawke family series written by Gwyn McNamee. I have read quite a few book written by Ms. McNamee and I have read every book in this great series. Ms. McNamee writing is exceptionally good, the plot sucks you in from the first page and keeps you fully engrossed until the last page. Her characters are well developed and amazing we even get to see some characters from the first four books and we see what they are up to. We met Saint aka Solomon Clarke and Caroline in previous stories in this series. Saint works security for Savage & Gabe in the clubs & Caroline a reporter & Dani’s best friend. Saint thinks he isn’t good enough for Caroline & she worries about the fall-out of hooking with Saint. So after lusting after each other they find themselves at masquerade party it affords then the anonymity to pursue their attraction. She thinks he doesn’t know who she is under the mask and with his size and build you couldn’t not know who he is. From the second he lays his eyes and hands on her, she is helpless to resist him and she can’t erase the memory of their combustible connection and one night together. Will she take a chance on Saint after their one night? Will Saint openly pursue Caroline and screw the consequences? You will need to read this amazing story/series….. I highly recommend this awesome book…. By Tracy @tracym

Tainted Saint: (A Hawke Family Story) (The Hawke Family Book 5) by Gwyn McNamee is one story I have been waiting for, Caroline’s story. I have said it before but I will say it again, Gwyn is an amazing writer and and I always know I am in safe hands when I read one of her books. As usual I devoured this story in one sitting. It is a quick and easy read but I wished there was more.
Caroline, hid behind the mask and decided to let her inhibitions out for one glorious night with the man she thought didn’t even know she was alive.
Saint has loved her since the very first time he saw her, but he is not good enough for her. One night is all he wants until he tastes her and then he knew he had to make her his.
Gwyn is definitely a go to whenever a new story comes along. I can’t wait to read Luca’s story.

Gahhh!!! This book blew me away! I just absolutely love anything that comes from Gwyn McNamee, especially her Hawke Family series so I knew this would be an extra good treat for me. Now I may be partial so keep that in mind, but I would highly recommend that you read the other novels in the series before you get your paws wrapped into this one good and deep. You will truly have the best experience and and appreciation for all the characters and going ons. Now that I have said my piece, this is a little standalone novella that read quickly for me in just a quick afternoon for being so jam packed full of story. I was so darn happy that we finally get Saint and Caroline’s story though so I was consumed from the get-go. I’m not going to give away any of the guts and grits of this great read. For those you will have to trust me that this is a five-star must have and one-click today! I can’t wait to see what we will get next from Gwyn McNamee. I am sure whatever it is will be just as amazing!

Tainted Saint (The Hawke Family Book 5) by Gwyn McNamee. This is the fifth book in the Hawke Family Series, I was so excited to read Saint and Caroline’s book!!! The anticipation has been building for awhile. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. There is suspense, drama and of course steamy romance. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed in this book.

I really liked reading this story. The Hawke family is probably one of my favorite families to read about.
I love how the 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.
McNamee’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.
“She promised she was done running, so it’s up to me to make sure she stays.” – Saint
This story is meant to be read in order, as every member of the Hawke family is intertwined with each other through-out the five books.

I am just in awe of this author I really am, I have read every single book that she has written and still I am completely hooked on her writing. I know that when I pick up a book by her I am not putting it down until I have finished! Whilst Savage Collision will always be my all-time favourite Tainted Saint is right up there with it! I loved Saint! He’s appeared in previous books and I was so excited to see him get his own story along with Caroline! They were just SO perfect for each other! The chemistry between them just sizzled and that very first scene between them – oh my gosh talk about scorching hot!!! The Luca saga continues and wow does it throw up some very unexpected twists and turns! I know I’m probably not meant to like him but I can’t help it! There is something about him!! And the ending!!! I cannot wait for the next book in the series I need to know what is going to happen!! I think to fully understand what is going on in the story and the underlying back story that is continuing this series is best read in order – trust me you will not be disappointed with any of the stories!

Tainted Saint (The Hawke Family Book 5) by Gwyn McNamee is a five star novel. I have been in love with this series from the moment I knew it existed! This series will keep you on your toes and create steamy bedroom romance. The bedroom scenes in this novel will have you crying for more, but it is so much more than just that. When Caroline and Saint have their first encounter, they did not know how badly the other wanted that to happen between them. Neither one thought they were good enough for the other for whatever reason. After a month passes, Saint decides to make his move and Caroline at first is a little bit weird about it but she finally loosens up and lets Saint in. When Caroline starts looking into helping the Hawke family with an ongoing issue, Saint tells her to stop but she doesn’t want to.

Tainted Saint (The Hawke Family Book 5) By: Gwyn McNamee 5 out of 5 stars
The novella Tainted Saint (The Hawke Family Book 5) by Gwyn McNamee is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is romantic and steamy. I loved reading about the characters of Solomon Clarke and Caroline Brooks. These two have an undeniable attraction to one another. There is a pull, spark, and connection between them. They have one night together. Will it lead to something more? What does the future hold for Solomon and Caroline? Read this novella to find out. There are steamy moments that will have the temperature in the room rising. There are intense dialogue. Caroline starts a dangerous investigation. Solomon is determined to keep her safe. This story drew me in and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. Highly recommended reading. This is a novella in a series that does need to be read in order in order to fully understand that story and events that happen. Both the story and the characters intertwine in each book.

Tainted Saint is the fifth book in the Hawke Family series by Gwyn McNamee. WOW! I knew as soon as I heard that Saint and Caroline were getting their own book that it would be sooo good, and Ms. McNamee didn’t disappoint!!! With the all the sizzle Ms. McNamee is so great at, as well as some drama, suspense, danger, intrigue, and so much more- this book felt much bigger than a novella. As with every book I have read of Ms. McNamee’s, I devoured it as soon as it hit my kindle. This book could be read as a standalone, but I strongly suggest reading all the books in their correct order to get all the backstories, character information and other relevant details- which will enhance your reading pleasure. But be prepared to get a serious addiction to Ms. McNamee’s stories and characters- one book certainly won’t be enough! I highly recommend this book, and the entire series- as you are sure to become as addicted to her stories, as I am. She should definitely be on everyone’s ‘must read’ list! Can’t wait for the next book!!!

I loved this book. It is not a stand alone, I highly suggest reading this series in order, you won’t regret it. I loved that we get to see the characters from the previous books in this one as well. This is Saint and Caroline’s story. One chance meeting at a party and fate playing a part, you get a growing relationship. They are great characters that are strong and have great chemistry. They are well written and really pop off the pages. Twists and turns you won’t see coming. A must read!

Tainted Saint by Gwyn McNamee a five-star read that will have you on your knees. This is number five in the Hawke Family saga and it’s the first novella and it was sublime. The length felt enough that you didn’t miss any details, it’s the first main character that isn’t a Hawke family member well not by blood anyhow, but Saint is something to everyone in the family. It was so nice to hear his story, see him come out of the shadows and get to see what makes Caroline tick.

He’s searching for absolution. She wants her happily ever after.
Solomon Clarke goes by Saint, though he’s anything but. After lusting for him from afar, the masquerade party affords me the anonymity to pursue that attraction without worrying about the fall-out of hooking-up with the bouncer from the Hawkeye Club. From the second he lays his eyes and hands on me, I’m helpless to resist him. Even burying myself in a dangerous investigation can’t erase the memory of our combustible connection and one night together. The only problem… he has no idea who I am.
Caroline Brooks thinks I don’t see her watching me, the way her eyes rake over me with appreciation. But I’ve noticed, and the party is the perfect opportunity to unleash the desire I’ve kept reined in for so damn long. It also sets off a series of events no one sees coming. Events that leave those I love hurting because of my failures. While the guilt eats away at my soul, Caroline continues to weigh on my heart. That woman may be the death of me, but oh, what a way to go.
Life isn’t always clean, and sometimes, it takes a saint to do the dirty work.
***Tainted Saint is the first novella 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 Tainted Saint starts in Savage Collision and continues in book two, Tortured Skye, book three, Stone Sober, and book four, Building Storm. 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. ***

By Gwyn McNamee
5 +++++++ Stars
So I have done a bit of binge reading…I had only read Savage Collision before this book was released so could not read this one till I completed the other two and now I have a bonafide Hawke Family hangover and am so so sad that I don’t have another to move on to. I love this family and all those that have come along and joined it. Each story is unique and has something different to offer but the one constant throughout is the family ties which is one of my favorite things in my books. Then of course there’s the way this author twists these stories and you just sit there not knowing what is going to happen or when it’s going to happen. This one had me lost on the impending twist, I usually have some idea of what might happen but this one threw me and for some reason I didn’t see it coming till it was obvious.
My heart was broken in two at the end of Stone Sober and it didn’t mend till quite a ways into this one. That’s one of the reasons I love this author so so much, when I read her books I just know I’m in for an emotional ride and when that ride ends it always leaves me wanting so much more. I know this can’t be it…There’s more story to tell for this family especially with characters that have appeared back and you just know there’s more drama ahead and I for one CAN NOT WAIT!!
Do not even attempt to read these books out of order…It will not work and besides this author is brilliant and you don’t want to miss a single word 🙂

Stone Sober: A Hawke Family Novel (The Hawke Family Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee
5++++++ Stars
OMG..These book are killing me….I knew when I opened this one it was going to be an emotional one and I was so right….So much going on I don’t even know where to start.
I knew when reading Books 1 & 2 that somewhere along the way Stone would get his story and I knew there had to be a lot more to him than what I was seeing previously. As unsure of him as I was it did not take long to fall head over heels for this guy. As his story unfolds everything about him starts making sense and the way he felt about Nora…sigh…He tried to do the right thing and stay away from her but he just couldn’t help it. Nora is Dani’s sister and the sole reason that Dani met Savage when she did. I loved Nora…her cute ways of trying not to swear made me smile. She wasn’t all innocent and pure but was definitely not the type of woman that would stir Stone normally. Dani also tried to stay away from him but the draw was too strong and watching her struggle with how much she found herself loving all that Stone was and had to offer made complete sense.
It was the rest of the story that had me all messed up…So many things that came out of left field and made my jaw drop…This had my feelings all over the place, I went from being totally angry to completely heartbroken many times and I could not predict how this one was going to end, at one point I thought omg there’s not enough time for some of this to be dealt with but once again this author had everything under control and my love for her writing just gets stronger the more I read. So many things still to come and I’ve already got the next ready to go and can not wait to jump back in to this amazing family…
Trust me…Start from the beginning, do not read these out of order…

5+++++ Stars
It has been awhile since I read Savage Collision and I’ll admit I kinda forgot just how much I love this author and her books, and how I absolutely couldn’t wait for the next in the Hawke Series. I loved Skyes story and everything that went with it. This author knows how to hook you on page 1 and literally won’t let you go even after you finish and that’s because she lets you in just a bit on what is coming next and thankfully I have the next sitting here waiting for me to start.
I love this family and those that are part of it even if they aren’t, like Gabe, who has been a part of the family for over 20 years and Savage’s best friend, which is why wanting Savage’s little sister is such a bad idea, especially when he is dealing with so many ghosts haunting him from his past.
Skye Hawke, Savage’s little sister who has tried very hard to push everyone away and cant seem to get over the loss of her twin sister. She threw herself at Gabe at Savage and Dani’s wedding and was rejected and knows that pursuing him will do nothing but cause problems within the family, but can she help herself?
I loved this story, and this family…I have become emotionally invested in all of them and love how this author can throw in some twists that you don’t see coming. This was an off the charts hot yet emotional read and I can not wait to dive in to Stone’s story.
Highly recommend, but don’t read these out of order, they all tie together and you really need all the pieces to fit!

Stone Sober: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 3) Gwyn McNamee was not what I expected, it was better. Gwyn is a great story teller and this is one of my favourite series. I have loved the other two books in the series but this is my favourite so far, they just keep getting better and better, if that is even a possibility. Gwyn weaves lots of twists and turns that will have your heart pumping and emotions running all over the place. There are laughter and tears, sorrow and doubt, confusion and heartache, love and heartbreak and that is just naming a few. It is a little dark as well and that just adds to the excitement, drama and thrills.
Stone is the baby of the family and has just returned home but he is not so sure that is a good thing. He has a secret that only one other person knows, a secret that has led him down the wrong path, a secret that he uses vices to try to escape from. Now he has found a new vice and knows he needs to stay away or ruin a beautiful thing.
Nora is smart and sexy and turned away from a brilliant career to strip but no one knows her reasons and no one understands but it is the perfect job, it is freeing and that is just what she needs for now. But when she finally finds out who hides in the corner, in the shadows her life will forever be changed.
Trust me this is an amazing story and you will not want to put it down. It is hot and dark and forbidden and oh so good.

Tortured Skye (Hawke Family Novels) is the second book in the series by Gwyn McNamee and is an erotic contemporary romance that will set you on fire. I love anything Gwyn writes and the Hawke Family series is fast becoming one of my favourites. The emotions that Gwyn instills in her stories has the ability to grab you from the very first page and keeps you titillated right until the very last word.
Skye Hawke has lost one half of herself and is still trying to comes to terms with it by hiding her pain behind her stubborn and hot headedness and down right rudeness. She also has a secret, a secret she has had since she was sixteen years old.
Gabe Anderson doesn’t do commitment, but now that he has noticed his best friends little sister is no longer little, he has more to lose which ever way he turns. Love the woman and lose the best friend or keep the best friend and lose the woman.
Gwyn McNamee is a must on everyone’s to READ list. I can’t wait to demolish her next book.

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4) Gwyn McNamee just blew me out of the water. I thought Stone was my favourite and now Building Storm has surpassed my expectations. Gwyn is an amazing writer and and I always know I am in safe hands when I read one of her books. This story I devoured in one sitting, even though I had to get up for work the next day I absolutely could not set it aside. I was so wrapped up in the story time was gone before I even came up for air. Gwyn knows just the right ingredients to weave together to give you an experience you will not forget. Your heart will be pumping and jumping out of your chest and your emotions running all over the place. I felt as though I was the one in the story as I felt it all. I laughed, I cried and sobbed, my sorrow and love was real, my heart broke and at times I could not breathe.It is as beautiful as it is dark, it is as wonderful as it is sad and it is raw and powerful. The complexity of the characters and their lives and the plot is a work of art.
There will be no spoilers on this review as the story speaks for itself. There are a multiple of other books I can see from some of the other characters in this series and I really, really can not wait to see where Gwyn may take us.
This is the most amazing story that no one should miss. It is brilliant.

I can’t imagine living someone but not going after them. To fear that your relationship would end friendships. So many different emotions you have to process just o find your happiness. Skye has lost someone close to her heart and cures herself with liquor. Gabe is running from nightmare and doesn’t want to ruin lives. But this feeling he has won’t go away even when he gets what he wants. This story captures you by giving you that guy who will do anything for the girl. The story as capture you by telling you about the girl who just needs something more to get out of the dark.

I’m at a lost for words. Stone is omg I can’t even think after reading this story. Let’s just say Nora is a lucky woman. Though Stone feels like he his the lucky one. Nora had a lot going for her and felt untrue to herself. I’m so glad she stopped and thought of her own happiness before she continued her path. I understand wanting to make everyone else proud and giving them what they want. But at the end of the day if you aren’t the one enjoying it was it worth it? This mob is really going in on this family and I’m crossing my fingers that they keep coming out on top. I hope my next relationship with a family lime this. They stick together and don’t let people get in their way. Reviewed by @gguerrero89

Savage is dreamy. A bad boy with so many soft spots. I couldn’t seem to put this one down. Dani was so out spoken and unapologetic. I enjoyed watching them together. Reading their growth. Not only as individuals but as a couple. Savage had to trust and Dani had to give patience. The author really has something going with this family. The characters are all string and independent but better together. I couldn’t live looking over my shoulders. I would die from stress. But these characters handle it well. Reviewed by @gguerrero89

Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee a Squall of a five-star read. This is the forth novel in the Hawke Family series and they are best when read in order, they each have such powerful and gripping story lines, I do think that Building Storm may just be the best, after I had read the previous novels and loved them and I feel that getting to know Storm and watch her story develop just made this one so much stronger and more compelling. I don’t want to say too much as I would hate to give spoilers as there are a few points that you will feel like the rugs been pulled from under you and you will just adore it!! I love how Gwyn McNamee brings the city of New Orleans to life in the pages almost like another character along with the buildings and the description they will blow you away, the passion and drama written between the pages are simply sublime, if you haven’t read this series then you need to go buy them all, it’s such a powerful series that you can’t miss.
