Volume #1 in the Caroline Springs Charter contains:
The Secret's Out
Moving to Melbourne for university, Josie Alexander knew the transition would be hard. She didn’t realise just how difficult it’d be until things turn ugly. Damaged by a past that leaves her struggling with physical contact, her brave move to start afresh, soon turns into a nightmare.
Afraid and vulnerable, Josie’s fragile independence threatens to unravel around her. That is until the two men who refuse to leave her thoughts show up in Melbourne.
Caden Adams, “Pick” to his biker brethren, has had a hard life. His only light is Josie, who he loses when she leaves Ballarat for Melbourne. Dealing with day to day life without his heart is hard, especially with the darkness threatening to consume him. When MC President, Talon, informs him that Josie’s in trouble, he’s determined to make sure he’s there to protect her. Only, he won’t be doing it alone.
Eli “Billy the Kid” Walker has never experienced love, not even from those who should have cared the most. Only Josie and Caden have ever come close to infiltrating his hardened heart. With Josie gone, he pushes Caden away, unwilling to take a risk, even if it’s something he wants.
When given with the opportunity to prove to each other how they really feel, will they all be able to have the courage to fight for what their hearts desire? Above all else, will they survive the fallout when their secret’s out?
Hiding Out
What do you do when someone you trust threatens to sell you into slavery? Find the perfect place to hide out.
Destitute and apathetic from the loss of her parents, Willow Demora is forced to accept any help thrown her way. Unfortunately, the only person willing to help is her cousin, a cousin who doesn't have a good bone in his body, and would do anything to stay out of the trouble he's in.
Hawks MC enforcer, Trey “Dodge” Monroe is a renowned hard-arse, now living in Caroline Springs. There are only a few brothers he trusts with his life. The rest have to gain his respect while they learn not to screw with him, especially when he finds Willow and discovers he’s willing to do anything he can to save her.
Even if it means he gives up his man-card, like the other love-sick members he's laughed at in the past, he’s ready to give it all.
Down and Out
Stricken by grief, Kalen “Dive” Brooks drifts away from his MC brethren, only having room in his life for his child. Worried for his son, he’ll do anything necessary to protect him, even if it’s admitting he needs help.
Alone and vulnerable, Philomena “Mena” McAdams has lost it all: her parents, her husband, her job and her home. Living out of her car, she’s learned life isn’t worth regrets. When Mena takes the job of nanny and housekeeper for Dive, she doesn’t know what she’s getting into, but neither does Dive.
Can they learn to love again when things are so down and out?
Living Without
For the past four years, Nary May’s heart belonged to Saxon “Vicious” Black. Despite the painful reality of unrequited love, her feelings never strayed, no matter what he did. But there comes a time when surviving means letting go.
What she never expected was to find herself fighting for her life and trying to survive a new form of torment threatening to swallow her whole.
Saxon was broken. Never feeling worthy, the last thing he ever wanted to do was taint the woman he loved.
Love these guys. They give the Motorcycle Clubs a very good name. Now these Hawks are the Caroline Spring Chapter. First on the list is THE SECRETS OUT with Josie, Pick and Billy. A stalker and two of their finest Hawks MC come to her rescue and much, much more; next is HIDING OUT with Willow and Dodge. A single woman betrayed again and possibly sold into slavery. She escapes and hides in a garage. Another gorgeous Hawk MC finds her and their adventure begins; then onwards to DOWN AND OUT with Dive and Simone. Something very tragic happens that really could break Dive. Then there is Mena; and the best for last, LIVING WITH OUT with Nary and Saxon. She is kidnapped and all hands on deck! Could this be the opening for a realty check for Saxon? This brings everyone together to find her before it is too late. This is a little scary but it shows that the Hawks MC are a real family and they will always have each others back no matter what!

Read March 10
Down and Out 5⭐️ Mela and Dive (Kalen) when I started reading this one I didn’t realize where it was going to go since I went in blind. So many emotions.
Living Without 5⭐️ Nary and and Vicious (Saxon) have been waiting for this one for awhile and it was a little in the dark side but finally wrapped up an over arching plot
Pick, Billy and Josi - I loved this, I need more books with this kind of relationship. In my opinion pick and billy could have gotten it more on? Be more like boyfriends to each other as well? Anyways 4 stars
Dodge and Willow - i didn’t like the whole slave story thing. Feels wrong in a modern western country like Australia. But the rest was quiet good. 3,5 stars
Dive and Mena - I loved this. It was really good. 4 Stars
Vicious and Nary - this was also very good. I love Saxon. And Nary is really sweet and I loved also that Stoke got back into the picture more. Also 4 Stars
I absolutely love this series. The Hawks is one of those series that will have you coming back to read again and again. After reading the first Hawks series, this set will finally give you Billy, Pick and Josie’s love story, Dodge meets his match, Dive overcomes his playboy ways and Nary and Saxon overcome tragedy to find the love they’ve had for each other all along. Spectacular!! Read through Kindle Unlimited
The first story was hardest to get into because it was hard to get the connection between Josie and her two men. I loved that the next book had an interracial theme (mostly because you'd not realize it for the love story cause out wasnt made important). The last two i cried thru and to me that's the best endorsement i can give it.
I’ve loved Lila Rose’s RomComs and decided to give her MC’s a go. I probably should have read the Ballarat Charters stories first but in saying that I still followed these characters stories and enjoyed them a lot.
What an emotional rollercoaster this book has been. I was on the edge of my seat threw the whole book. I just love all the characters. I can't wait to read more.
