A sophisticated surveillance device has been found in the club and Hawke knows he needs a top private investigator. Enter Penny Larson: sharp-witted, fearless, and absolutely stunning.
When Penny agreed to investigate, she never expected to team up with the handsome and enigmatic Hawke. As they work together to unravel the truth behind the device, they are drawn to each other in ways they never expected, igniting a passion between them that cannot be denied.
But soon, the investigation heats up, and Hawke and Penny find themselves facing off against some of the most dangerous and powerful figures in the city. They know they have only one shot at stopping the looming threat… and failure could cost them everything.

Boy am I glad this series is finished! Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the first book in the series, but it all just went downhill from there. While this was still better than the previous book, it still didn't live up to the first book for me. I mean, these are just way too short to feel much of anything for the characters or to feel any kind of connection between the main leads, besides the physical one.
While I did enjoy the suspenseful aspect to this one, it was all done and dealt with sooo quickly. If you're in the market for an extremely quick read with spice, this series might be for you though!
Find Me (Phoenix, #6) by Stacey Kennedy 4.5 stars M/F Romance I was given this book for an honest review by Wicked Reads.
Penny is a white hat hacker who doesn't trust easily. She knows the worst of society and only trusts a few people. When she's pulled in by a trusted friend to help find who is spying on Phoenix, Penny doesn't expect Hawke.
Hawke is a retired SEAL and knows that Penny is skittish. The draw that Penny has on Hawke is something he's never experienced before and he wants to be counted among those she can trust.
The threat to Phoenix is close and as Penny narrows down the suspects, Hawke has to keep Penny safe.
Hawke and Penny have hot chemistry throughout the story and I love watching them feel their feelings, trust their instincts and search out the bad guys. This is a fast paced story that will leave you breathless.
Hawke & Penny's story. Penny is hacking her way around Phoenix for Rhys trying to find who planted the bug. Hawke is tasked with helping her since he's on the security team. There's been a spark between them & Penny is slowly learning about other friendships beside Elise. The Phoenix family welcomes her. A threat against the club puts Penny in the crosshairs & Hawke is determined to protect her. A surprise bombshell at the end of the book helps close this series in a satisfying way.

Mary – ☆☆☆☆☆ I have loved this series and looked forward to each new release. The stories are filled with a little suspense, a little drama, and a lot of romance. You know there will be some steamy scenes when the characters visit Club Phoenix.
Hawke Foster, a retired Navy SEAL, is part of the Phoenix security. When a high-tech device is found, he needs help locating who planted it and why. Penny Larson is a high-tech hacker and just the person for the job. What Hawke wasn't expecting was Penny – she is good at what she does and he is drawn to her.
As Penny and Hawke get closer to the threat to Phoenix, they become closer to each other. Their chemistry is on fire. Can Hawke protect Penny while she does her job? Will they begin a relationship after the dust settles?
I highly recommend this series. I cannot express how much I have loved each and every story. I hope you give it a try and that you enjoy it too.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆ This is the sixth book in the series, and I most definitely recommend that you read them in order. The story starts with a discovery made at the very end of the last installment, and continues earlier storylines to satisfy those of us who want to see how relationships progress.
The secrecy of the club is in danger given that a spying bug has been uncovered. Hawke has to bring in help to find out just how far things have been compromised. Head of Security, Archer's wife Elise, brings in her expert white hacker, Penny. Banding together, Hawke and Penny have to work against time to ensure the privacy of the members is maintained, and the perpetrator is disabled. I really enjoyed the cybersecurity twists and turns and the camaraderie which develops between them as they sleuth.
For a relatively short novel, this story packs a lot of punch from a drama perspective and delivers a delicious and well deserved love story too – thank you, Stacey Kennedy, for a very enjoyable series!

Najdi mě je šestým – a bohužel posledním – dílem série Phoenix od Stacey Kennedy. Tentokrát se do středu pozornosti dostává dvojice, na kterou jsem čekala s velkým nadšením: Penny, chytrá a vtipná hackerka, která se v předchozích dílech stihla stát mojí oblíbenkyní, a Hawke, bývalý Navy SEAL, co působí jako tichá hrozba… až do chvíle, kdy jde o tu, kterou miluje. Jejich společný příběh se točí kolem nebezpečného narušení bezpečnosti v klubu Phoenix – a nutnosti spolupracovat, ačkoliv napětí mezi nimi se dá krájet už od první stránky.
Penny byla už v předchozích dílech mou absolutní favoritkou – drzá, chytrá, s jiskrou v oku a tou správnou dávkou sarkasmu. A když se konečně dočkala vlastního příběhu s Hawkem? Ano prosím! Tenhle chlap je přesně ten typ, který v knihách zbožňuju – drsný, nebezpečný, ale loajální až za hrob. Typ, co by kvůli tobě klidně zrušil celý svět. A v kombinaci s Penny? Chemie mezi nimi doslova praskala – jako napětí ve vzduchu těsně před bouří.
Líbilo se mi, že jejich spojení není jen o vášni, ale i o nutnosti spolupráce. Zápletka kolem sledovacího zařízení v Phoenixu jim krásně házela klacky pod nohy a nutila je být spolu v akci i mimo ni. Tenhle motiv mě vážně bavil a dal příběhu napětí a dynamiku.
Ale… musím být upřímná – oproti předchozím dílům mi tenhle závěrečný připadá trochu uspěchaný. Jako by autorka věděla, že se loučí, a chtěla to rychle uzavřít. A je to škoda. Penny a Hawke si zasloužili víc prostoru. Více emocí. Více hloubky. I víc žáru – erotická linka je tu tentokrát až překvapivě upozaděná a samotné dění v rámci klubu Phoenix působí jako vedlejší kulisa, ne jako důležitá součást světa, do kterého jsme se tolikrát rádi vraceli.
Na jednu stranu mě těší, že jsme sérii uzavřeli s takhle silným párem. Na druhou stranu… nechce se mi loučit. Phoenix byl domovem, do kterého jsem se ráda vracela. A přestože tohle nebylo finále, které by mi vzalo dech, i tak budu na celou sérii vzpomínat s láskou.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "FIND ME" This was an excellent series with terrific characters that pulled you right into the drama, suspense, intrigue, action, danger, emotional turmoil, steam, angst, kidnapping, blackmailing, violence, betrayal, secrets, lies, twists you could put this page turner down until finished. Hawke Foster is a former Navy Seal he works for Security at Phoenix Club it an exclusive sex club for the wealthy & elite masked to hide their identities but someone wants those identities to use to their benefit blackmailing them to do his bidding, they found a bug in the club, they need to figure out who betrayed them. Penny is a brilliant Hacker who works for Elise's Private Investigation company she the wife of Archer head of Security at Phoenix she goes to work for Rhys owner of Phoenix to see who spying on them & putting bugs in the place, Hawke & Penny work together he finds her beautiful, fearless, witty, she has complete control of his mind she's all he thinks about, but she's had traumatic past not interesting in a relationship, but working together he starts to break down her walls. I definitely recommend to get this riviting action packed riviting adventure that Penny & Hawke take you on with their friends in tow, will they take manage to take down Victor Romano, will they get a HEA, it was a surprise ending but well done with awesome secondary characters. I'm so looking forward to the new series "SENSUAL EQUATION" "RIGHT KISS WRONG MAN" first book can't wait to read I love this authors books she never disappoints. "EXCELLENT INTRIGUING RIVITING AWESOME ROMANCE I LOVED IT 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤

Hawke and Penny are a part of the Phoenix behind the scenes crew. Hawke has had a thing for Penny since he first met her. Something about her is so irresistible to him. But getting her to admit she is just as attracted to him as he is to her will be no easy task. And when danger comes knocking on their door they have to unite all of their skills to help secure clubs security.
Along the lines between danger and survival they can't deny anymore how much they want each other. Hawke is determined to break down her wall and just love her the way she deserves. And when danger almost breaks them, Penny is finally able to see that life without love is not living at all.
This was short, fast paced, swoon and steamy and I read it one sitting. For the last book in the series, this was icing on the cake for sure.

Find Me is the final book in the series. Like the others, it could be read as a stand-alone, but really should be read in order for all the background about the club and members starring in previous books, who've become a family by choice. Hawke and Penny are both loners and weary of being paired off to fight a threat to the club and it was entertaining and kind of sweet to see them falling for each other. In addition to the romance, there's pulse-raising suspense and fast-paced action to bring down the club's attackers. Both the book and the series end with a very bittersweet HEA. I was fortunate to have received an advanced copy from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily and honestly.
You can never go wrong with a Stacey Kennedy book and Find Me was another winner!
I loved Hawke and Penny. Hawke knows how fast life can change and how important those close to you are. He has wanted Penny since the first time he met her. Penny has never truly had anybody in her corner except her grandmother and she has built high walls to keep everybody out.
When Phoenix is threatened Penny will have to work closely with Hawke to help discover what’s going on. Hawke is looking forward to this time and breaking down her walls, because he wants to be one of those that Penny can trust.
This is another must read from Stacey! I have loved this series and hated to see it end. These characters are absolutely wonderful!
When the safety of the members of Phoenix is threatened, Rhys takes it personally and hires hacker Penny to work closely with his security team to ensure those who visit his club are safe.
Penny doesn't get attached to people or items. She keeps her circle small, but when asked to work with Phoenix's head of security, she finds herself being drawn to Hawke.
Hawke takes his job seriously, as the people he works for and with are more family, having given him a sense of purpose when he was forced to retire from the Seals.
This book is full of suspense, intrigue, feelings, and wickedly hot encounters. If you haven't read these books, I urge you to start the series at the beginning and see how these wonderful characters entwine and grow. I so wish there was more.
Honestly, I have NO clue if this book is any good since as soon as I started it I yanked my AirPods out fast AF when the noice pollution broke out in full boom! Thought I’d loose MY hearing from all the high pitched squeaks and shrieks. I was sure someone’d knocked me out and jammed my head in a blender, tipped in a ton of metal scraps, and went to town with the pulse button.
I’ve heard of vocal fry and sure, pushing the boundaries might do it for some, but MY GOD! The sound engineer must have had his ears blown clear off prior to this recording. The woman could be used as a remote weapon starting earthquakes and launching avalanches. And I was looking forward to this last book in the series. Why anyone would pay her to slaughter their work is beyond me.
While the end of the Phoenix series is bittersweet, I once again delved into this unique world with excitement and enthusiasm; and yes, I wasn’t disappointed. Hawke and Penny's story held all the usual traits of suspense, betrayal, danger, and unbridled passion too, along with the easy ebb and flow to the storyline and characters we've come to know and love from previous books who are front and centre throughout Hawke and Penny's journey.
Saying goodbye is sad, but the camaraderie and family of choice dynamics, always inspires a full heart, so thank you Ms Kennedy for another wonderful story and an enticing series that I will definitely be rereading over and over again.
I was excited to return to the Phoenix series but also sad that this might be the very last time we get to visit this world. This last book brings us the story of Hawke and Penny. These two make a great couple. I loved seeing the way their relationship evolves. Penny and Hawke work well together at finding the danger that is lurking and through it all emotions begin to take shape. The two have an attraction that cannot be denied and I enjoyed seeing the trust deepen into something more for them. This story is a nice way to end this series. It moves at a good pace and is full of great characters and emotions.
Find Me marks the end of one of my favorite series. I'll miss the extended cast of characters and the mix of suspense and steam these books have.
It was definitely action-packed right from page 1 with Penny and Hawke working together to try to find the person responsible for planting bugs at the club at the end of the last book.
Parts of the book felt a little rushed, but overall I enjoyed the story and am hopefully we will see some kind of interconnected series where we see more of everyone.
I gave the last two books in this series a 3, only because it seemed like it was getting repetitive. The plot or the subject of the books may have been different in each book but the rest seemed like the same thing in each book. I did enjoy listening to the audio except this very last book in the series, it seemed like the narrator was talking without any emotion being put into the story, it was just flat and I really wish this series was done on dual point of view, I think it would have been better. All in all the series was good but I feel like it could have been better.
I enjoyed all the books in this series. The latest one follows the relationship development between Penny and Hawke. This can be read as a standalone however, I would recommend reading the other books in the series. We met both Hawke and Penny in previous books and it starts with Hawke's POV which I enjoyed. They work together well as they try to discover who is becoming a threat to the club (Phoenix). The story has intrigue, lust, action and a HEA
What a great ending to the Phoenix series ! Loving Hawke and Penny’s story, her protective man, whom she fights against. She is independent, and has been determined to not be swayed by any man. Yet feelings happen, and sometimes they cannot be ignored, so between their back and forth banter, there is also the flirting.loved this story, not without action, danger, drama and someone threatening all those at Phoenix! ❤️
Find Me is a captivating romance novel that combines suspense, danger and passion. Author Kennedy expertly weaves, a thrilling plot with some twist and turns that will keep you on the edge. The chemistry between Hawke and Penny is undeniable. Overall, Find Me is a fantastic read perfect for fans of romantic suspense. Oh and she threw in some hotness too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stacey Kennedy’s Find Me is the final book in the Phoenix series. Each book can be read as a standalone story. This is Hawke and Penny’s love story. This incredible book is filled with great friendship, intrigue, and sizzling steamy love. The book has suspenseful story line intertwining all of the wonderful characters. I loved all the books in this series.
I have read all the books in the Phoenix series and enjoyed them all. "Find Me" is the last book . This was Hawke and Penny's story. It had so much going on. A bug is found inside of the club. They bring Penny in as a hacker to help find out who planted it. You need to read it and out how Victor
Find me was an awesome ending to the Phoenix series. Hawke and Penny finally get their story, and it is a steamy one. The mystery of the infiltration of the club is solved, and it is a page turner. I’m sad to see the series end, but I can’t wait to see what Stacey Kennedy had for us next.

A crazy sexy and fabulous ending to a series that has been awesome amazing and sensual as well as heartbreaking and tear jerking. I'm so glad that Hawke and Penny finally came to terms with their emotions and found a way to solve the longstanding mystery of who was trying to bring down Phoenix.
