Hawke owns Hawke’s pizzeria and some investment properties. He is also a member of the Tempest Elite MC and protects women who come to him for help or those that work for him. He has one rule for himself and his brothers, no getting involved with his employees….until her.
Lotus is a waitress at Hawke’s and she is on the run from her crazy ex. She is trying to keep a low profile so he can’t find her. When her ex Darren sends her a card, she knows she must disappear again but what if she is too late.
The is an enjoyable read but could use some proofreading for spelling and grammatical mistakes.
Hawke is a protector, he tries to stay away from Lotus for her safety but finds it impossible. What happens when he learns her truths, will he be able to save her from her ex or become a victim also.
Lotus has always had to care for herself, she doesn’t take help easily but tries to protect those she loves no matter the costs.

This is another wonderful, read in the world of the Tempest Elite MC and while you don't have to read them as they are stand alone there is an underlying story that you will understand far better if you read them in order and hwy wouldn't you want to read all of this wonderful series

Hawk is a member of the MC and also owner of a bar and he has employed Lotus He has one firm rule he never dates anyone he employs so he is making sure he keeps away from Lotus and he is deeply attracted to her. he knows that she is keeping secrets but he has so much going on with the club that he really wants to stay away from her problems That is until her problems come knocking her ex has tracked her down and she is in danger now Hawk will step up to protect her an din the process may realise that he no longer wants to hide from what is between them.

Lotus is his wildest temptation and his sweetest treat

Hawk is the fifth book in the Tempest Elite MC series and is the story of Lotus and Hawk. Their story is fast-paced, has angst, drama, secrets, longing, lust/love, some action and once it gets going some very explosively hot passion. Hawk may be a member of the Tempest Elite MC but he is also a bar/restaurant owner who takes his business seriously and that includes watching over his staff. That is doubly so when one of those staff is Lotus. Just like her name Lotus blooms the further you read and the more you find out about this southern girl with a steel backbone.
I enjoyed this story that concentrates on Lotus and Hawk and just touches a bit on the overarching story-line of the Tempest Elite MC and their rivals the Devils MC. This is a really nice addition to the series and was a good read.

Lotus works for Hawk, which means she is off limits. Doesn't stop him from wanting her. But he hasn't noticed she's in danger from her past until he catches her trying to run. He basically tells her she is staying with him for him to protect her, or she leaves without any of her things including her wallet. He gives her no real choice, but she wants him just as much as he does her, so home with him she goes. He doesn't know just how innocent she is... until she isn't. But the past is here to take her, one way or another. Hawk needs to find her first to save her, and she's been gone over an hour.

Typos again, and high drama with her missing and MC business- but again, a good story. I like how Hawk's ink has so much meaning.

Hawk is part of a motorcycle club and also owns the pizzeria/bar. He has had a really hard life, losing friends while in the foster system and in the military. Lotus has been a waitress at the bar for four months and has also had a hard life, losing her father at four years old and having to then become a parent to her mother because she could not handle it. Lotus has an ex-boyfriend that is trying to hunt her down, which is why no one knows she is here at the bar, including her co-workers. Suspense builds when she starts getting texts and letters from Darren. The action is a wild roller coaster ride and the emotions are intense. The ending is terrific and worth the read.

Hawk is THE hottest TE. He is a rugged, tough, strong, extreme protector and I've been salivating for a story about him since she first introduced him! Hawk had a rough childhood, Lotus practically raised herself and held her mom as together as she could after her Dad died. These two lost souls are perfect for each other. This was a beautiful, wonderful story that is the least involved with the MC however still clearly the relationship with TE is important. Steamy and sexy, a great classy balance when our main characters get together. Perfect. Loved it. Wish I could give it 6 stars or more.

Edge of your seat drama, suspense and an original MC that not only will have your lady bits panting but will encourage you to seek the men whom run and fight for this MC! Utterly absorbing and written with a combination of strategic words and breathtaking shine! SO if you want a phenomenal story that you can put on a shelf to revisit THIS IS THAT SERIES!

Hawk is the fifth installment of Reagan Phillips’ Tempest Elite MC series. Readers get to observe the romantic journey of Lotus and Hawk. She is a damsel in distress seeking refuge as a waitress in Hawk’s pizzeria. Her controlling ex-boyfriend continues to stalk her. Aside from owning the pizzeria, Hawk is also a member of the Tempest Elite MC. Both Lotus and Hawk are attracted to each other. You must read this book to find out what happens.

I find myself enjoying Ms. Phillip’s Tempest Elite MC series. Her skill with creating rich dialog, complex lead characters, and vivid descriptions. Her portrayal of the MC shows another side of this community by sharing backstories and using multiple POVs. Nicely done, Ms. Phillips.

Hawk is in love with Lo but because she work for him he has to keep his distance however, when Lo past comes knocking all bets are off. If you like quick reads with an alpha male lead and a spitfire female lead then check this out. Happy reading 😗

Fantastic read!

Lotus and Hawk’s tale is AMAZING!!! I’m a sucker for the strong silent type and that’s Hawk in spades. Together, these 2 are a force to be reckoned with and the way they love each other - perfection. Fantastic read!

omg

That was such a ride. The story was up and down but omg what an ending. This club just keeps getting bigger and better what’s next I wonder.

[Marianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a solid and enjoyable read, but it did not stand out for me in the way I hoped. The characters had good chemistry and there were some gripping moments, but the story did not always maintain that momentum. I liked Hawk as a lead and I enjoyed the glimpses into the club world, yet I sometimes felt the emotional depth was missing.

Overall it is a decent addition to the series and worth reading if you are already invested in the Tempest Elite MC world. It just did not reach the level of intensity or character development that would have pushed it higher for me.

La storia l'ho trovata molto carina. Il voto è dato dalla traduzione, perché purtroppo ci sono molti errori. Ci sono addirittura frasi che non ho capito perché la traduzione lasciava molto a desiderare.

[Terri Nichole · Rating 5 out of 5]

ahhhhh!!!

This was my favorite, by far! Hawk and Lo’s story will live in my head, rent free, for quite some time! Well done!
