Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee
5-stars
I am always eager to start any book from this phenomenal author; without a doubt she always leaves me wanting more! I have read so much from this author and I’ve honestly loved it all, however, this one has been my absolute favourite by far! From the very get go I was hooked; I had never read anything like this before so I was highly entertained and intrigued the whole way through.
I felt so invested in this story and in these characters that I ended up reading this book in one sitting as I honestly couldn’t bring myself to stop reading, I just had to know how it was all going to play out, and Gwyn did not disappoint!
As usual I can’t wait to dive into another book from Gwyn McNamee, I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next one of a kind read!

This author is awesome. I’m beginning to think there isn’t a book she can write that I won’t like! This one is a little different than her previous books but that makes it that much better. I devoured it and I want to get my hands on more! The characters in this book are fantastic. The chemistry is off the charts and the banter is great! The book was full of suspense and angst and man that cliffy was crazy! I cannot wait to read more by this author and I would recommend to a friend!!

Squall Line by Gwyn McNamee a five-star read you would go to sea for. This is the first novel in the Inland Seas Series and I cant wait for the next one, Gwyn McNamee is one of those authors you get excited to see they have something new coming out, one of those authors you need to read everything by, this one is no exception it shows us her great writing style and bring you into the story in a great manner, it’s not what I am used to reading from her, but I adored the style. War and Grace are so different in so many ways, but so good for each other and similar in others, they make the story so compelling. Pick up this novel as you won’t be disappointed, all I am sad about is that the next one in the series isn’t hear already.

I have such a girl crush on this author. Everything she writes has a certain level of uniqueness that makes the story stand out. SQUALL LINE does not disappoint.
Is this the beginning of a new genre? Instead of bodice ripping pirates, we have kick a$$ women who aren’t afraid of “big, bad men”.
Great main characters and the secondary characters were also intriguing. This is going to be another great series from this very prolific author. The story flowed well from beginning to end and it held my attention for the entire ride.
I look forward to reading all future books by this author.

Squall Line is book 1 in a new series from Gwyn McNamee, and a little different than what she normally writes, but nonetheless I was totally captivated and intrigued by this read, from the start until the very end!
Gwyn McNamee has once again created two brilliant main characters that are real, relatable and very easy to enjoy reading about and following their journey. War & Grace have a connection that is undeniable and immediately puts them into a new position. Gwyn has given these two characters an epic story that really makes stand out and tell their journey. This is one of the books that saying to much can really give away the main plot, so all I can really say is that this book was beyond what I expected, it’s gripping and thrilling. It’s fast-paced, flows from chapter to chapter and really holds you.
Gwyn McNamee has proven again how much of a versatile writer she is and boy oh boy is this another book that should not be missed by anyone! I highly recommend you check out this read, and all other books from this author, I guarantee you will find your next Go to favourite author.

First off I just have to get out of the way one thing… Gwyn McNamee can write anything! She stole my heart and attention with her Hawke family novels and I have been literally addicted ever since. When I first saw that this was something that Gwyn was doing I had to have it and was anxious for it to hit my Kindle. This was so very different from what we normally see from her and I have to say I like it. This was a tad more angsty and dramatic, a touch of the dark hit the soul when you read pieces of the story and it grips you until that last and deliciously frustrating cliff hanger. War and Grace are two characters that I know will stick with me for a long while. Between the shenanigans that flow on board the ship and the tantalizing chemistry between War and Grace this book was one that had me glued from beginning to end all in one sitting. I can’t bring myself to share much more than what Ms. McNamee has already given us in the blurb so for all the juicy details and bits you will just have to take the plunge and one-click this for yourself.

Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee was an interesting read that kept me reading.
Not my first read by this author, so I was excited to get my hands on this author’s new work. As someone that has spent over 10 years on the water, I may have been a little picky, so I’m not going to get into that. I will say that this book was enjoyable, interesting and had a unique plot. I wish the pace was a little more smooth, and that the romance wasn’t so rushed, and again, that dreaded word, innocent, appeared. Describing the female MC like that, it took away and downplayed her strength, and power that I felt she was full of. Towards the end things started to get intense, and then it ends full stop with a cliff hanger. That threw me a bit, because I thought there was another page, well played, well played. I’m looking forward to the next book!
Overall this book was engaging, well laid out read, that had positive character development. This book get my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

5 Star Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book One) by Gwyn McNamee
Squall Line is the first Book in The Inland Seas Series and Holy Hell what a read.I literally had goosebumps from the very beginning. I was sucked into the world of War and Grace and I couldn’t put it down till I finished. This Author is one of my absolute favorites I’ve read several books by her. War is a man that is conflicted but he’s loyal.Grace is a feisty yet intelligent woman. She finds herself in trouble when he takes her. These two have an attraction towards one another, that they are both trying to ignore. What does their future look like? Find out what happens next in this must read book. I can’t wait to get my hands on the book in this series.

Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series #1) by Gwyn McNamee
Squall Line was a great 5 star read and book one in The Inland Seas series. This is War and Grace’s story and I was pulled in right from the beginning. This is a modern pirate romance.
War ends up on Grace’s ship and takes her hostage. As they spend time together they start to build a connection along with driving each other crazy. Grace was pushing War for answers to her questions and learned more about him. She started to see a different side to him. We do get some steamy moments from these two as well. I had some LOL moments at the bickering between them. Can War keep Grace out of danger? Can they have more together?
I loved Grace she was a strong character and War was a hot, loyal man. All of the secondary characters were great. If you’re looking for a read that has action, mystery, steam and so much more this is the series for you. Overall I loved this read and the ending was great. I can’t wait to read more from this series.

Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee
5 ++++++ Stars
Ok confession time…The first words out of my mouth when finishing this book were..OMG Are you freaking kidding me??? Then…Oh yes it gets worse…I saw when the next book will be released and the first words then were…I am never reading another effing book..EVER
So..about an hour has passed and I’m over my little tantrum and feel like I can find some words to get me through this review. I flipping loved this book..Totally unique and different then I have ever read. I can see where this series is going to be in my favorites because there are so many stories to tell with this group of very interesting characters.
War and Grace were awesome and this story grabbed me at page 1 and still literally has not let go, I loved both of their stories and even how they met although not your average first meeting it still was as I said above very unique and I still see more story to tell for these two and I simply can not wait, especially after that ending…REALLY!? If I didn’t love my kindle so much it would be in a million pieces right now.. I also thought the addition of the cryptic notes from Mom were brilliant, this is why I love this author so so much…You just never really know and her talent for storytelling is in a class of its own.
But…I still need the next one like RIGHT NOW! LOL
Highly recommend, I just know this is going to be another home run series for this author.

I was steered to this book by the title Squall Line and the cover with the War and Grace and the lighthouse in the background. Gwyn McNamee is a new author to me and she has become an author I will look for other books by her to read. I felt a connection immediately to War and Grace. I am a sea loving person and can see where a relationship can be formed. I can see War and Grace. They are attracted to one another but at what cost. You will have to read the book to find out all the details of the story. I will leave you this quote from the books description that I love: War and Grace. Dark and light. Love and hate. This storm may destroy them both…

I love it when authors take a step out of their writing comfort zone and write something different and I absolutely take my hat off to Ms McNamee because she absolutely nailed this story!! I have read every book that she has written so far so I was really excited to see if she could keep my interest with a new genre and she absolutely did and more! I was completely hooked from beginning to end – in fact it is one of those books that you can’t wait to read again and it isn’t very often that I read a book more than once! I loved War and Grace! They were both just totally amazing to read about! Both strong and independent in their own right – almost like an alpha male vs an alpha female! I loved the interaction between them and also the obvious attraction!! I can tell that this is going to be an amazing series and I cannot wait for the next book to be released!!

Squall Line – The Inland Seas Series Book One by Gwyn McNamee is very different to other books that Gwyn writes but different didn’t make this story any less great, it’s just different and let’s just say it is most certainly well worth the read. This is just as much a page turner as Gwyn’s other books and I fell in love with the characters and their quirkiness and their normalness faults and all. The plot is well developed and had me intrigued and enthralled all the way through. The emotions, passion and chemistry between the main characters was like the squall they went through, wild and explosive and also vulnerable and sweet.
War was young and stupid and made a deal with the devil, a deal that he knows in the end no one will walk away from. What he didn’t expect is the one woman who got under his skin, the one woman that is driving him insane, the one woman that changed his life. Now if only he can keep her and himself alive.
Great start to the series and I can not wait for the next book to see where it goes.

Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book 1) By: Gwyn McNamee 5 out of 5 stars
The story Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee is a contemporary romance/suspense book. It is a story that draws you in from the very beginning and I found myself turning pages to find out what happens next. I loved reading about the characters of War and Grace. Grace is a woman who is intelligent, feisty, and strong. She finds herself in trouble when she is taken by War. War is a man that is handsome, loyal, and conflicted. The plans that he made have gone up in smoke. He had no choice other than to take Grace. Both Grace and War have a growing attraction to each other. They are trying to ignore it. It only grows stronger. Will Grace be War’s salvation? What does the future hold for War and Grace? Read this book to find out. This story has some romantic scenes that have the temperature in the room rising. I grew to care about War and Grace with each chapter that I read. I enjoyed reading about the other characters introduced in the story and how they interacted with Grace and War. This is a book that has an atmosphere of suspense and I couldn’t put it down until I had finished the last page. This is the first book in a series and I can’t wait to read the next one. Highly recommended.

This author continues to enthrall me with every story she writes. Squall Line is another absolute treasure. Angst, passion, strong characters, gripping plot movement. War and Grace – two concepts and characters that are opposites in so many ways. I loved these characters and how masterfully McNamee wove these names into the character personality profiles. Just perfect.
This is a must read, whether you are a long standing follower of this author’s work or a newcomer. You won’t be disappointed.

Squall Line is book The Inland Seas Series by Gwyn McNamee. I just adore the way this author weaves a story. Excitement at every turn of the page. Adventure every day. Dramatic adrenaline packed events at each chapter. Passion in every paragraph. Complex characters with intriguing personalities evident from the first words. Contentment in the whole, entire package.
War and Grace. They meet in extenuating circumstances, they endure each others company because they have to. They fall for one another because they have np choice. They are inevitably drawn to each other. They love with intensity, passion and desperation. Their love should not be. But it is. And I am so thankful they fell. A brilliant and captivating story that will enrapture you and bewitch you. 4 stars.

Squall Line by Gwyn McNamee is the first book in the Inland Seas series. This book is absolutely captivating and will sweep you off your feet!! This book for me was made entirely by the MC’s Grace and War. I couldn’t find a single thing about them that I didn’t like!! From the second I picked up the book I felt drawn to them. And even after j had finished reading I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I found myself going back and re-reading sections that had enticed me so much. Gwyn McNamee seriously knows how to write a good book. I loved that this one was different to other things I had read by her. It shows she has diversity as well as phenomenal writing skill. This is yet another 5* read from this author.

I loved this book! This is a little different for this author but it works for her. This is a creative, well written, engaging story that I couldn’t put down until the end. The characters are connectable and brought the story to life for me. War finds himself on Grace’s ship but is put in a situation that he has to take Grace hostage. They are opposites but do they have more in common than they realize? Their chemistry is off the charts and I can’t wait to read more from them.. A must read!

Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book One) by Gwyn McNamee
I have read every book by this author, so far, and here’s a new series like nothing i’ve read before. When I think of pirates, its dirty old men who don’t know what a bath is, or of course the famous movie series. But these pirates are very different. Warwick has a job to do to repay debts, never having to deal with more than he or his crew can handle, he doesn’t expect a fiery redhead to stand in his way. She makes him break the rules, and surprises him at every turn. I was not expecting how this story went or how it ended. I need the rest of this series like yesterday, i want to know more of this crew. Great read, kept me hooked from beginning to end.

WAR Out on the water, I’m in control. I don’t make mistakes. But the fiery redhead destroyed my plans and left me no choice. I had to take her. Now I’m fighting for my life while battling my growing attraction for my hostage. Grace may have started my downfall, but she could also be my salvation.
GRACE The moment he stepped foot on my boat, I knew he was trouble. He took me, and now, my life is in his hands. But things aren’t what they seem, and Warwick isn’t who he appears. The man who holds me hostage is slowly working his way into my heart even as greater dangers loom on the horizon.
War and Grace. Dark and light. Love and hate. This storm may destroy them both…
