Hawks Motorcycle Club #4
No Way Out
Trapped in a marriage since the age of twenty-one, Malinda May is finally free. Having lost her biker husband, she is determined to keep her two teenage children as far away from the MC lifestyle as possible, a lifestyle which has brought her nothing but heartache and fear.
Life is never that simple.
Relentless in their mission to prove to Malinda that not all bikers are bad, the Hawks’ women are determined to support Malinda and her family, whether she wants it or not. In her struggle to keep her distance, Malinda soon battles her desire to keep her family safe or relent and begin to trust the MC.
Tired of women and their mind games, Declan Stoke knows women are only good for keeping his bed warm for a night. Having once thought he’d found the one, he’s no longer willing to put his heart on the line. Even when faced with the temptation of a wounded, sexy woman, he steers clear…well, tries to.
Malinda and Stoke find themselves at an impasse, one seemingly impossible to navigate through. With trouble brewing, life is going to get complicated, and for Malinda, she’s trapped with no way out.

Okay I don't think I actually have words to describe this book
Lila Rose is EPIC!!!!!!!
I think that Stoke is right up there for me with Griz... This book was amazing
The beginning was so sad for me, what Melinda went through with Tank. But then when Stoke came into her life it was just AMAZING!
And oh my word, I hope that Mrs Cliff will be in the next book she was hilarious! I was LOL in some parts.
I cannot wait to read Pick, Billy and Josie's story....

Malinda May should be grieving her her dead husband, but she is not. Her marriage was everything that could go wrong and then some. If it were not for the fact that she had two beautiful children, she doesn't know how she would have survived it. Malinda knows one thing though, she will never go near another biker again.
Declan Stoke knows a good woman when he sees one and Malinda May has caught his eye. Problem is she is weary of bikers and given what his MC found out about her dead husband, he can understand. However, with her husband dead he left a wake of trouble coming Malinda's way and he wants to be the man protecting her. He never saw himself as a step in dad, but he is finding it remarkably easy and has plans on making the whole situation permanent as soon as possible.
Another thumbs up for Lila Rose. Declan is another pure alpha man with a ton of swagger. Malinda is a sweetheart, a bit naive but you understand her situation. I hope that there is a book for Saxon and Nary. You also are introduced to a new character who had me cracking up throughout. Can't wait for more.

Malindas opinion of bikers has been bad for more than 15 years, her husbands death changes that when she sees that the rest of his club is nothing like him. Or are they?
Stoke and the rest of the guys were shocked to discover Tank had a wife and two kids, but more than that he sees an amazing woman he wants to get to know even if it is dead brothers woman. Getting her to trust him and the club will take everyones best work and some very special reinforcements.
Malinda stayed with Tank thinking it was the best thing for her kids, but after his death she sees how wrong it was and is determined to do whatever it takes for her kids to see how much she really loves than and only wants the best for them.
Stoke can be a patient man when he sees something he wants. He knows to wait for the right time, but once it comes all bets are off. He's also not afraid to show his emotions, which was one of my favorite things about him. He was definetly a tough guy and you know it, but he laid things out no matter who was around.
The two together are sweet and absolutely HOT. This is another one that will steam up the pages and have you faning yourself. There as always was a great story and I loved this one just as much as the others in this series and can't wait to see even more!

Loved it! Lila Rose does it again!
Since the first book, Holding Out, I have loved the Hawks MC series with every fiber of my being! These characters just keep getting better and better and the more I learn about them, the more I need!
Stoke and Malinda felt slightly different to me than the others. Their pasts and personalities were refreshing and even though those differences made No Way Out SOOOO good, it still feels like each character has been a part of the family since the beginning. Does that make sense?
I love the directions taken with each story, the new and different people and their pasts because seeing the way these people love each other no matter what... It is incredible and unforgettable.
I just love this group of people, I love their love and devotion and loyalty.
Stoke is so badass and he is right up there with Talon for me. The way he embraces Malinda's kids and her situation is what a REAL man does. Malinda is such a beautiful character and her hesitation makes the anticipation of these two so much better. What she went through made her so strong but it made her smart and sure of what she wanted for her children. I love that in a heroine.
Nary and Josh... Loved them.
And holy Hannah I can't wait for more Saxon!
I could go on and on about each of these books and it won't do them justice. If you haven't started this series, you are missing out because the Hawks are not only badasses and loyal to the core, but they are sexy and intense and Lila Rose does sexy and intense so well.
This book was full of suspense, humor, steam (a little bit of the forbidden), family, and love.
Declan Stoke... you just blew my mind!
5 HUGE stars!! I already need more!!

Well...I liked this one. All the characters were great. Nobody annoyed me...not even the heroine. Still, for me, something was missing. Maybe it's because I haven't read the previous books. There just was't much character development. It was a nice and hot fluffy biker story. Sure there was some suspence and kinky sex, but for an MC book, it was pretty mild. I like them a little bit rougher. Still enjoyed reading it, so if your looking for a mild sexy MC book, you should give this one a try. I would recommend reading the previous books first, because with all the characters, it got a bit confusing for me at times. 3 stars from me

Dang on it man! I'm so going to miss these characters of this book series.. I throughly enjoyed reading this series and while I know there's spin off to another series with Hawks MC, it was the characters I met along the way that made this series come alive to hold me hostage to the very end.. So like the last bite of a buttery biscuit sopping up that bit of gravy left in a bowl to be devoured I will read the novella 4.5 of series with a heavy heart!

Ok then.
I am really putting this series down to maybe the authors first run because wow.
It started ok, but then it didn't make a lot of sense.
Melinda's husband is murdered (by whom you don't get to know details of.. you know plot in this series). He is a member of the hawks mc.. but apparently, nobody liked him and had no idea he even had a wife and kids and was doing dodgy stuff on the side. Ok, that's ok, but then we find out she doesn't want anything to do with the club because he was physically and mentally abusive, and she only stayed with him for the kids. She has been with him since she was 18 and hadn't really experienced life. i dont even think she ever had a job.
But ofcourse 1 second later and she is going to a BBQ at the club and instantly falls for a guy (so much for not wanting anything to do with bikers) she gets attacked by her husbands brother so ofcourse the hawks go over the top protective.
Then, LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS, all we have is chapter after chapter of smut and lukewarm conversations with the women. The multiple chapters of the ivy/killer viewing smut were irrelevant and off-putting.
I was reading thinking, is there any plot or drama in this. It's been months shouldn't she get a job. Her husband was her main source of income, and she has 2 teenage kids to support and a house (but hell none of the women seem to work in this series just relying on these magically billionaire bikers from ballarat).. Then 1 CHAPTER OF DRAMA, and it's over.
Lastly, I seriously hate when an author writes, "I'm gonna fill your belly with my seed." (🤮🤮🤮) Can you imagine a guy saying that to you.. honestly, can you. Who the hell is swooning with that description. Gross.

This series has quickly become one of my fav MC Romances! I enjoyed this book. It was funny and sexy with some drama, action and emotions. But there was a major point I didn't like. SPOILERS!

There really should have been a scene when Mally and Stoke talked about Tank. About her marriage to him, the fall out ( the night he attacked her) and why she stayed for all those years. I felt like it was very much needed but sadly it didn't happen. I also feel like Mally not having sex in 13 years was a little too much. Yes her marriage with Tank was broken BUT he didn't abuse after that terrible night, still live in the house (as least sometimes) and was still in her life. It should have been 5 years or 8 but definitely no more than 10. On a better note I love the introduction to new characters, Mrs. Cliff was amazing and her "adopting" Deeanna was a great addition. The side hint about Nary and Saxon was one of the best things added(I'll cry if they don't get a book) plus the glimpse of future 3-way romance with Josie, Pick and Billy. Also the Mally/Stoke & Ivy/Killer love scenes were HOT, Heavy and very funny. Overall the book is good & I hope Lila Rose continues with this awesome series with many more books to come.

Second time read and gorgeous hot sweet loving heartbreaking Stoke fell for Milinda right away oooh my I loved it hot frigging wicked sexy sweet couldn't put it down you need to read it.
November 19, 2018
I really loved this story. It was sweet but also had real issues. It’s hard to review the story because everything that happens makes it hard to not spoil but it’s got the signature steam, great secondary characters, both new and old, a bad guy or 2 that you just want to scream at and suspense that keeps you hooked. After small teaser at the end of the book I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen in the next one. 4 stars #2OCCJD

This is book 4 in the series though its labeled as book 3 due to a novella labeled as 2.5. This is my favorite book so far in this series. I just loved Stoke and Mally. There almost instant love story was precious even with the swearing and hard biker thing going on.

Malinda’s husband Tank had just been killed. A member of the Hawks MC, they have no idea what he was in to or that he was even married. She doesn’t look like she wants any protection from them but that’s what the boys, and their wives do. Declan Stoke was loyal and protective so when he saw her, he knew he wanted her but first she needed help and he would be just the man for the job!

I was lucky reader, who got to read it before release. Yay, me. Lol.
Thank you, Lila for this and also for another wonderful story.
I never was good with words, that's part of the reason why I respect authors so much. Theirs imagination and that world of theirs, is just marvelous.
Anyway, what I was saying words is not my strong point. So, I'm not going to do justice to this story enough with my review. And if you had read already any of Lilas books, I don't think I need to say much. You already know how captivating and fun and adventurous her stories is. You already know this story, like the previous is must read.
And if you not had pleasure to be living Hawks journey, you need to jump into this ride. Because you're missing so much.
So, this No Way Out have is intriguing and enchanting and exciting and...Well, I just could continue to sing prices. But you could be reading all of it, instead of me keeping you of the story with my bubbling.
Our biker hero, Stoke is...I don't have words enough to describe him. He's badass, yeah. But also he's can be so sweet, caring and loving...
At the beginning, Stoke tried to fight his feelings, because he burned previously and don't wanna to be on that path again. But that fight wasn't for long. Because no one could be stronger that this pull he had for Malinda. And the way Stoke was with her it was...Just...Yeah, I'm crushing on him. And then add the way he's with Malindas children and you hit the fucking golden mine. Damn, where those kind of men are hiding? I need one like Stoke. Actuality all Hawks man are extraordinary. They live hardcore biker life, but when they meet theirs 'the one', the woman is the luckiest lady in the whole universe.
And our H, Malinda had not easiest life. With the ex husband as hers. And that snipped of her 21st birthday...It crashed my heart. When she's out of biker husband life, she thought no way ever she will had anything to do with bikers again. But then she meets Hawks and the Muffkaters. And they show that bikers can be the bast family you ever could have. They supporting and protecting her and her children. They make her smile and find out what truly friends means. But what really make her start to live again is Stoke. He mends her shattered and bleeding heart. Actually he heals not only Malindas heart but her children's, too. They finally knows what fatherly love is like. *Sighs* The man is just breathtaking. And if that don't makes you crush on Stoke, then you're made of stone.
There's some sh*t are hitting the fan. A gift *feel my sarcasm here* Malindas husband left. Which puts her and her children in danger. Stoks and the rest of the Hawks have to take care off it.
There is some hints on whit some characters. Which I couldn't wait to see where Lila will take us with it.
Oh, there shows up duplicate of Deanna. Mrs. Cliff. The woman is the sh*t. And the bigggest nightmare for our bikers. They run from her as theirs sexy feet carries them. Lol.
The Muffkaters is as awesome as ever. They're such a big part of the story. And sometimes such a pain in the bikers asses. I love them! Both. The posses and the bikers.
And also there's...Mmm...Maybe I will stop here. Because you really do not need to waste your time here and just go and spend your time with another consuming Hawks biker.

Anytime I can get my hands on another book in Lila Rose's Hawks Motorcycle Club and see what Wildcat and her Posse of Pussies and Gay Mama Bear are up to, you can be assured that I'm all over it. I absolutely love this group of characters and their willingness to put everything on the line for one another and for those they consider their motorcycle family, and even though Malinda May wants nothing to do with the club that she considers changing her husband in irrevocable ways, when they know one of their own is in trouble, they're going to step up and set everything right or go down fighting.
Declan Stoke isn't looking for an old lady, especially one that wants nothing to do with his club even though she belonged to one his brothers. But there's something about Malinda that appeals to him on a number of levels, and regardless of the space he tries to put between them and the growing attraction he tries to deny, he realizes he's already in deep, and when a series of threats forces action, Stoke steps up and refuses to let Malinda out of his life and the club, and once Malinda realizes she and her children need the Hawks and especially Stoke, she might just figure out that she doesn't want out.
No way out is another fantastic story in Lila Rose's MC world. I love that each heroine who Rose matches up with her alpha males are unique and fit their mates perfectly, and they also add a refreshing dynamic to the Muffkaters. I also really enjoyed the few times readers were given other perspectives besides Stoke and Malinda's because it added a fuller view of everything that was going on when the shit hit the fan on more than one avenue.
Can't wait to see what mischief and mayhem occur in the next Hawks Motorcycle Club book.

Lila Rose has done it again!!! I'm telling you, this series just keeps getting better and better!!! From the very first page I was hooked and could not put it down till the very end.
Malinda has just lost her husband. She should be upset but she's not bc ever since her husband joined the Hawks MC he changed. Their marriage changed and she found herself no longer in love with him. Now that he is gone she is determined to keep not only herself but her two teenage children as far away from that life as possible but is there more to the story than Malinda knows? Was being a member of the Hawks MC what changed Tank or is there more to the story?
From the moment Declan Stoke lays eyes on his brothers widow he is hooked. He knows its wrong but there is just something about her. Its pretty clear early on that Malinda wants nothing to do with the Hawks from the start so they are forced to call in for backup.....Julian!! Gosh, I'm telling you, I love him!! He is such a character!!!

Now that he is gone she is determined to keep not only herself but her two teenage children as far away from that life as possible but is there more to the story than Malinda knows? Was being a member of the Hawks MC what changed Tank or is there more to the story?
From the moment Declan Stoke lays eyes on his brothers widow he is hooked. He knows its wrong but there is just something about her. Its pretty clear early on that Malinda wants nothing to do with the Hawks from the start so they are forced to call in for backup.....Julian!! Gosh, I'm telling you, I love him!!

This Hawk Has his Work Cut Out For Him
Declan has had enough of shady women. He thinks they are good for only one thing, until he meets Malinda.
Having just buried her husband and raising two teenagers on her own the last thing she needs is another biker in her life. When the women from the Hawks are offering to help her and kids Malinda is just about to refuse them when in walks Julian to save the day. Julian is the one that gets Malinda to open up (Julian is the unofficial fairy godmother of the group and can get anyone to like him. The man is a diva.)
Declan is determined to know Malinda, but he has to find a way to approach her. The girl keeps running away every time he comes near her.
The Hawks and Declan go into protective overdrive when Malinda and her kids are threatened. They are going to learn the hard way that the Hawks protect their own and if anyone mess with that, they're road kill.
I like that the story is told from two points of view. It's not all one sided. The heroine of the book is not weak or delicate. The world knocks her down she gets up brushes herself off and pushes on. Mess with her kids and she will mess you up. Declan is a tattooed, hot bad ass biker. Loyal to his friends and his club. Liked that Malinda knocked him on his butt and made him work for the relationship. Also liked that he developed a relationship with Josh and Nary (Malindas' children). He became the father figure they never had. The story had suspense, some humor (Mrs Cliff is an absolute riot, she is Rambo in drag and males the MC quake in their boots when she's around) and hot steamy romance (so steamy that the temperature goes up when they are in the same room). Definitely worth the read.

Lila Rose is a freaking genius!This is one of my most favorite series!!!
The Hawks MC has lost a brother. Not a well-loved brother, but a brother none-the-less! And it isn't until his funeral that the MC finds out he has a wife & two kids. Everyone is astounded! How can it be that they didn't know? As soon as Declan Stoke lays eyes on Malinda May he's a goner (he just doesn't know it yet). Unfortunately, Malinda wants nothing to do with the club. She lays the demise of her marriage squarely on the Hawks. But they are determined to bring her into the fold, if for no other reason than to protect her from whoever killed her husband. The ladies try to approach her & let her know they are there for her but she wants no part of that. Enter Julian, the secret weapon no woman seems able to resist. He convinces her to give the club a chance, to come to the BBQ memorial the club is holding in honor of her husband (that they didn't know they were even having until Julian announced it).
Each book in this series just gets better & better. Watching the way Declan fall, not just for Malinda but also for her kids is fantastic. Seeing how the club takes Malinda & the kids in, protects them, even the way they all deal with her cantankerous old neighbor. There is so much humor in this book it is literally LAUGH OUT LOUD funny, with a perfect mix of fear & heat. I can't wait for the next installment of the Hawks MC Club!!!!

No Way Out
I absolutely loved Malinda and Stokes story! It was sweet, of course angsty, exciting, loving, and of course, in the word of Mrs Cliff, H.O.T!
Malinda was a lonely mother and housewife, married to a man who didn't care for her or the kids and surprisingly belonged to the Hawks MC. When he dies, she has no clue what to do next. Then the Hawks girls reach out and she gains friends and family. Something she hasn't had in years! Including the real love and attention she's been missing till she meets Stoke.
Declan 'Stoke' was just like all the men before they had their women. Partying hard, messing with all them nasty skanks, he couldn't be more ok with that. Then his eyes land on Malinda and he's GONE! He'll do anything to be with her. When her husbands brother pays her a visit and nearly kills her, he makes it his mission to protect her and her kids. Her misfortune turned out to be their blessing.
They both needed each other, the kids needed a man in their life to feel loved and wanted, and they become the family they all deserved to have. Won't so more cuz I don't want to spoil but you should definitely ONE CLICK! You also get a little taste of what the next book will be like. Yeah......that's gonna be a bitch to wait for ugh ((HUGS))

I really do love this series. Stoke (aka Declan) has taken one (or two) for the team & he finally gets to experience what his brothers have been fighting for in this installment of the Hawks MC. Malinda was crushed by her husband, Tank, and he wasn't much nicer to their kids. He hid his family from his MC family, and when he gets killed, and the Hawks find out that Malinda, Nary & Josh exist, they immediately go to work bringing them into the fold.
And of course from the moment Malinda & Declan lay eyes on each other... Their story is very heartfelt & of course there are some bad guys after Malinda & Nary, so there's some action & rescue going on, as well. Altho there's a dynamic to their relationship w/ Killer (Fox) & Ivy that I'm not really into, it's all written very well & is a GREAT story! And the way Declan is w/ the kids - after pointing out early on that he doesn't do kids - is pretty priceless. : )

OH MY GOD. I just finished No Way Out, and MY LORDY.
Lila Rose can write a book full of suspense, dirty mouthed bikers and sweet but sassy women.
Just LOOOOVED it like all the others in they Hawks Series. Every minute of every page just had me engrossed so much I was late back to work from my breaks EVERY DAY, while reading it.
Without adding a spoiler, I have to say my all time favourite bit was the baby put on Stokes knee. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes & let out a few unladylike snorts. Just an absolute classic scene. But there are MANY scenes just the same. Just Awesome all round.
I so can't wait to see what Lila comes up with for the other Hawks men. She truly has a talent for writing.
Now, I am off to read all her other books, because she has seriously sucked me in as a Fan Girl.

Wow Lila this book was sensational .
Malinda May was living a life with her husband (Tank) and with two kids Nary and Josh,
She was finally set free from trapped marriage, After Tank was suddenly killed.
Things changed and she didn't feel sad or upset about Tank's death, Because her love for him died the moment he had attacked her.
His Biker family the Hawks wanted to take care of her and make sure she and her family was safe.
Declan (stoke) Instantly had attraction to her the moment he lied eyes on her, and wanted to keep her and her family safe.
Don't want to give to much way this book has some shocking dramatic turns which makes your heart sink and hold a breathe with suspense.

No Way Out
(Hawks MC club series) book 4
Lila Rose has done it again. I loved Malinda and Stoke's story. The drama was epic and I cried again. I love the way this club loves and protects each other. They are an amazing family. After Mally goes through a terrible time the girls rally around. Even though she's had nothing to do with her husbands club she sure is part of them now. I loved Mrs Cliffs character and the way Rose tied her to Dees. Very funny. Declan is wonderful with Mally's teen kids and that is the way to any good woman's heart. Great to be back in the Hawks compound with Wildcats and the gang and of course my favourite Julian was back too. I look forward to the next story Pick, Billy and Josie.

Ah mixed emotions. Spoiler alert
I would say this is my least favorite. There were just too many things going on. SpoILER ALERT.
Mally husband dies and she meets his biker club. She is timid at first but than the lovely Julian brings her out. We know these alpha males work fast but stoke took his time which was good considering. Than it goes down hill Bc She goes from not having sex for 14 years, to all of a sudden she likes to watch ivy and fox have sex. She is so timid. I am no prude but it doesn't flow right. Not to mention a scene where the brothers are almost touching heads. Umm, no doesn't go. Now if pick and billy did that I could understand
What is great about the book is ms cliff and she is so funny. She is like Nancy times 10
