Volume #1 contains

Holding Out

Not everything is roses, chocolates and vibrators in Zara's life...until Talon, Hawks MC President, wants to claim her as his.

Zara Edgingway is a twenty-six-year-old secretary. She has a daughter that apparently knows-it-all and a best friend that could possibly have the mouth of Satan, but she's been with her through hell and back. Then there's the hunk'a'licious biker neighbour finally showing interest in her.
If only she isn't about to face her next obstacle in life, the one she ran from six years ago: her ex husband.

Talon Marcus is the president of the Hawks Motorcycle Club. For two years, he's had his eye on the quiet, reclusive, yet sassy, neighbour Zara. Finally, he has the chance to claim her as his woman. Just when her past catches up with her, she'll need, not only his protection, but the help from his biker brothers.
Now, if only she'd stop fighting him along the way.

Climbing Out

Deanna Drake has a past she longs to forget, but won't ever be able to. She's always been the tough one. No one, but her best friend Zara has ever been able to penetrate her cold, hard, shell.

Until Griz

Griz— a.k.a Grady Daniels, Hawks Motorcycle Club second in command, also has a past that he wishes he could undo...all except one part.

It's her past that brings them together. Only will it be forever?

Finding Out (novella)

In a moment of weakness, Ivy Morrison tells a lie, a lie which will leave her scrambling for a solution and quick. The perfect solution comes well-packaged in the form of broody and sinfully sexy Fox Kilpatrick, courtesy of Find Your Soul Mate online dating service. Desperate times is most definitely a call for desperate measures. With no other choice, Ivy convinces passionate yet possessive Fox to help her in her time of need.

Fox 'Killer' Kilpatrick is still caught up in his past, a past of anger and death, which his biker brothers desperately want him to recover from. Losing a bet, Killer finds himself on a blind date with Ivy, the woman who is set to turn his world upside down.

Following your heart is never easy, neither is following an unknown path, but finding out may just be worth the journey to possibility. Only together, will Ivy and Killer discover if it was worth the risk after all.

Every story in this book is a definite 5* read!!!!

Holding Out
Lila Rose is an unbelievable author. I laughed so much during this book, but there was plenty to keep me on the edge of my seat, as well.

This is the first book in the Hawks Motorcycle Club series & I hope there will be lots more. Ms. Rose is an Aussie writer so sometimes some of the phrasing made me go hmmm until I remembered that.

I absolutely loved Talon & Zara's story. I look forward to hearing more about them when I get to read the next book, Climbing Out (Deanna & Griz's story).

Climbing Out
I absolutely adore Griz (Grady Daniels) & Deanna (Hell Mouth) Drake. Griz is the VP if the Hawks MC, he's 40 years old, has salt & pepper hair & he has a secret. He thinks he is way too old for Deanna to be interested in him.

Deana has been through hell in her life. And her past is coming back to haunt her. She has been avoiding her best friend for months & when Zara finally shows up to confront her she finds that Deanna seems to have gone off the deep end. When she confesses what has her acting so out of character, Griz decides that he is moving in (without her knowledge) & he brings along his little secret.

This book will have you laughing, pissed off, swearing, even needing a cold shower. I am looking forward to reading more of this series & more from Lila Rose!!!!

Finding Out
As with every book I have read with this author, I fell in love with the characters. Ivy Morrison is absolutely adorable! Every time I turned the page in this book I was laughing about something! Whether it was the lack of filter between Ivy's head and mouth or one of the other Hawk's characters making me laugh. Next thing I knew I was sighing huge over something Fox (Killer) Kilpatrick would do or say to Ivy as she changed his life just by being such a beautiful soul!!!

Great book, loved it!!!!

This box set has 3 separate stories so I'll split my review into three.

Holding out:
This is beautifully written, its enticing and you really get pulled into the story. The tension between Zara and Talon is strong and the chemistry when they finally give in is hot, hot, hot.
Phillip isna nasty piece of work, even though you don't see much of him throughout.
My favourite character throughout is Julian. He is THE best guy friend that everyone should have. All his random nicknames that he gives to the others tickle me everytime.
I recommend this to anyone who loves a hot, romance with a tonne of tension both sexual and thrilling.

Climbing out:
Deanna is a troubled character.
Even with the brave face she puts on, she has a dark past and Inreally enjoyed how this was dragged out. It didn't immediately tell you the problem, Lila had me wondering what on earth was going on.
The connection between her and Griz was perfect, it was coming and I'm glad there was no umming and ahhing when it came down to it.
The sex scenes were hot, just like the first.
When I try to picture Griz I tend to lean towards Bruce Willis when he is in Die Hard only with leathers instead of a police badge.
Well worth a read and once again Julian made me laugh so much throughout.

Finding out:
This one surprised me.
It was shorter than the others but I hadn't expected Killer to be the next story as he hadn't really been mentioned in the previous 2.
It was a fast romance between the main characters, Ivy and Killer.
I would have liked to learn more about Killer though and hope that he will be mentioned in the later ones.
The stalker through the dating site was a very interesting twist and it kept me hooked until the end. Oh and I HATE Ivys family. Just wrong all of them.
Once again - Julian was only mentioned briefly but his character is definitely my favourite.

Hawks MC: Ballarat Charter (volume one) has the first three in the MC series. I’m reading it again, since the characters you cannot help falling in love all over with, but also because I always regretted not doing a review so that others could find and most likely fall in love with Lila Rose’s stories.
My very first MC book was hers. The book “Holding Out” kept showing up in my iBooks listing and I became intrigued. Best decision ever as I haven’t had one regret in every book she has produced.
It starts out emotionally charged with Zara but quickly it changes and brings the main character to present day where neighbor is the gorgeous MC president, Talon. The blending of different worlds is evident and Lila Rose is a master at creating humour and toe curling lust, all while bad ass bikers take care of situations and find love.
“Climbing Out” is the next biker Grizzly to fall for a sassy, spirited best friend Deanna. Third book “Finding Out” has Ivy & Killer that shows how two opposites can instantly match and be perfect together.
The story lines alone are really good but add a talent for building the characters in and around the MC so that each story is so much more than just the main characters meeting & falling in love.
Read it. It won’t disappoint! 💋

LOVE THIS!!!

Lila Rose rocks out when comes to writing awesome MC books. I loved all 3 books in this collection. I can't pick a favorite out of these 3 because I loved them all.
Meet the Characters:

Main Characters:
Wildcat (Zara): Was sweet, strong, loving, and a wonderful mother.
Boss Man (Talon, Hawks MC Prez): Was one tough foul mouthed alpha man, very protective, and wonderful father
Hell Mouth (Deanna): Was snarky, foul mouthed, tough yet soft all rolled into one
Griz (Grady, Hawks MC Vice Prez): Was Strong, protective, alpha male, loving father
Cupcake/Chatter (Ivy): Strong business owner, very talkative, sweet, loving
Killer (Fox Kilpatrick): 100% pure alpha male, Silent type (Until Cupcake), possessive, and loving
Supporting Characters:
Stoke, Blue, Billy, Pick, Mattie, Julian, Nancy, Robert, Josie
Children:
Maya, Cody, Swan, Drake, & Ruby

I absolutely loved each and every character minus the all the villains. Each book had a great plot and just the right amount of steam.

I'm very glad I 1Clicked this Collection!

This series should come with warning label....

Warning: this series contains so much alpha male hotness, your panties could possibly combust, melt, or be extremely soaked. It maybe be easier if you just not wear them while reading. Yeah I think that is a great warning label.

I love how fast paced these stories are, how the women in the Hawks MC meet. Love reading how their women start off not so much damaged but in much needed help or saving from dark & scary pasts, shadows that follow & lurk in the night. The men have to deal with stubborness, insecurities, crazy family members and their own s**t. But through it all these women find love, security & a tight knit family that protect their own.....and these women are definitely theirs. I am so looking forward the the next installment of books in this series....May need to invest in batteries, laundry detergent & panty stock first. 😏😘😍

Way better than I anticipated!

Honestly I got this book set because I figured it would be a quick, superficial read. I was so wrong. I love everything about each of the books and can't wait to get started on volume 2. The characters are fabulous and will developed with back stories that give the depth. The heros are sexy AF, possessive, alfa bikers that live to live and protect their feisty, bad-ass women. The banter is entertaining, and the feels surprisingly plentiful. There's an abundance of steam, action, and romance to keep things going. I couldn't put this set down. I ended up reading all three in one sitting. I love all the characters and hope to see stories for many of them I'm the future.

OMG.......Love, Love, Love this series!

This series is filled with amazing men, fabulous women. It's filled with humor, real laugh out loud laughter. The storylines are awesome, the interactions between all of the characters is real. The love, anger, good times, and bad times. I love these take charge alpha men . The quirky heart warming women. Talon, Griz, and Killer are so hot. But then Zara, Deanna, and Ivy are their true matches. I cannot wait for more books about other members of the Hawks MC. As soon as I lost this review I am off to get the next ones. Do yourself favor, read this series. You will call in love with character's. You will laugh, cry, smile, frown even, but you will enjoy every minute of the ride.

Hawks Mc and their women’s

https://ladiikeiii.wordpress.com/2017...

I didn’t have to read part 1 of the Hawks MC Series because I had the book already and read it. But book 2 and 2.5 was good, but you know one always better lol, but I wasn’t at all disappointed but hmm as I think Fox aka Killer was the quite dude that was in book 1 and two lol that smile a lot glad he found Love. Between not going to say much about book two as I did 2.5 since I reviewed it already and as I will 2.5

Amazing!

I loved Hiding Out! Talon and Wildcat are amazing.
Climbing Out I had a bit of trouble getting through. I felt that it was a bit anticlimactic. It was still a good book.
Finding out was another one that I loved. My only complaint was that it was a novella. I would love more Killer and Ivy.
Definitely a series worth checking out and I am definitely going to read volume 2.

I tried to finish this series but couldn’t. A friend suggested it and now I am seriously questioning her judgement. The writing horrible, pace on hyper speed making it so unbelievable. The characters sucked and were inconsistent in their behavior I found it hard to like them. The situations while could be plausible the authors pace spoiled everything.

Recommendations - get an editor and there is hope for the plot and characters.

FRIGGIN AWESOME

I received volume 1 via a book club review, and was asked to provide feedback.
I enjoyed all 3 books, story lines were fantastic, the character's were believable.
I laughed and even cried with one of the books. I find it hard to find authors that are able to captivate with stories, but I found I couldn't put volume 1 down.
I just bought volume 2 because I have to find out what happens to the rest of the character's.
Thank you Lila, you are amazing.

good series!

This is the first three books in the series, all of which I really enjoyed! Talon and Zara are neighbors that fall in love with Zara’s ex trying to kill her. Griz and Deanna fall in love while trying to keep her safe from her foster brother. Fox/Killer and Ivy fall in love through a dating site, their story is a novella instead of a full book like the others. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Freakin hot

God I love the boy's from Hawks MC. Lila Rose is a kick A$$ Author and doesn't disappoint when it comes to Alpha bikers. Their domineering, hot , filthy, kinky and love on their women a way a woman should be loved. Five flaming Stars from this reader. Word of advice .! When reading these books make sure your air conditioner is set to freeze because you will be burning up in no time. 😉

This is the first volume of the series and contains the first three books in this MC romance. collection. Stories of the MC president Talon, his right hand man Griz and member Fox all have suspense, drama and heat.

These men go the distance to protect the women they love.
I really like the optimism of Julian in all circumstances. Although he isn’t a member of the MC, he will become one of your favorites.

Was an entertaining read.

Each individual book will have your heart pounding in multiple ways...

While the characters carry over from one book to the next, they're each a separate a story. Although this collection has a few things in common: hot dominant alpha males, saucy sarcastic females, drama, action, and emotional turmoil.
Happy reading : )

Where have you been all my life Lila Rose?

This series was recommended from a group on Facebook. I was hooked by the first paragraph. The style of writing flowed and I was captured and captivated by the characters. Loved this MC group and can't wait to read the next set of books. You won't be sorry to buy this series.

Freaking A! I love you Ms. Rose! These books were awesome. I can't wait to read the next set! I laughed so hard and was on the verge of tears other times. I love how you have your readers connect to the characters. And my goodness I wish a Hawk or whoever's MC club wanted me. They can call me Snickers. Ijs.

Awesome

Loved the three stories in this collection. Holding out with Talon and Zara, Climbing Out with Deanna and Griz, and Finding Out with Ivy and Fox. The banter was quite entertaining with the alpha heroes who protected their women. Lots of hot steam, action and romance rolled into one great selection.

Good books. Likeable characters.
I'd rate 3.5 and recommend it.
I do think the first book fell a little short because it went from six years ago and jumped straight to now. They already knew one another so I felt like there were key points of their meeting that I missed.
Although, it was easy to keep reading after being introduced to all the key players.

Hawks MC Volume one has the first three stories of the series. Each story is packed with action filled drama that will have your emotions all over the place. They are descriptively well written, and I found myself cheering on the heroines and their bikers to get their chance for happily ever afterwards. I enjoyed all three stories!

Zara & Talon get like 1 maybe 1,5 stars. I am sorry but it was so bad.

Deanna & Griz I actually really liked even tough Deanna’s whole I am such a bitch act could be very annoying. Probably solid 3 stars.

Ivy & Killer it’s hurting me to say because I was so excited for Killers story but it was just to fast paced and not really well written. 2 maybe 2,5 stars

Cute

Another one of those alpha males, must obey at all time, yet have some kind of kink with the females. Really fast paced and witty as hell. The romance in each novel is pretty in your face with no shame. Just a fun light read love that about this series.

Great read

I really loved this book. All three are great stories are great just by themselves. Each story adds to the next but can stand by itself. My favorite was Hell Mouth. She is brass and ballsy. Jillian is just down right hilarious. Talon and Zarra story was the best.
