To be worthy of her, he must make the ultimate sacrifice.
Katelyn Brooks is the happiest she’s been in a long time. In order to reclaim her life, she has faced the person who betrayed her, gained a prestigious executive assistant position, and fallen in love with gorgeous Luke Johnson.
Luke loves Katelyn desperately, but he knows he’s not worthy of her. His life is a lie, and until he faces his history and makes what amends he can, he can’t be in a relationship, no matter how desperately he loves her. She deserves better.
So he returns to his previous life…only to find Katelyn’s present entangled within his past. Luke must make a choice—a choice that could have deadly consequences.

Raven is book 2 in the GEMS of Wolfe Island series.
Luke is wanting to be a better man and right some wrongs from his past.
As he is at the bus station after leaving Kaitlyn the love of his life he thinks he is alone…but is he?
After arriving home he sets his plan into motion to clear up some of the red on his ledger…do he succeed?
Kaitlyn gets a call that takes her back to LA. Whole she is there she tries to contact Luke but instead she finds herself in trouble.
This book has so many twists and turn you won’t know what is coming next. You even get to meet some old friends again.
This is not a standalone and I would suggest you start from the very beginning with Rebel from the Wolfe’s of Manhattan series to get the full effect if not you can start with Escape.

Raven is book 2 of Gems of Wolfe Island.
I am so blown away by this installment. When we finished with Moonstone Luke aka Lucifer Raven had left Katelyn sleeping and was on his way to head back home to try to Right the Wrongs he had done in his past. So he could try to be the man worthy of her and her love.
Luke was ambushed and taken by someone who knew of his past. Having handled his capture, he heads back to LA for some long overdue redemption.
Katelyn is beside herself. Thinking she got taken for a fool, she is heartbroken and scared she isn't good enough for Luke because he left without even a goodbye note. She tries to move on and overcome but her world gets shifted again when a phone call has her headed back home to LA.
In LA twists and turns throw Luke and Katelyn in danger. She comes face-to-face with Luke's past and is thrown for a loop.
Raven has more twists and tur s and suspense we all love. There's emotions that with have you tearing up and swooning all at once.
Helen went beyond our expectations. She's brilliant and crafty. A true pen master.

Oh! My! Wow! Helen, what have you done to me now?
Raven picks up where Moonstone left off. With Luke, seemingly alone in a bus station. Only he soon realizes he's not so alone, when he feels a gun shoved in his back, and his old street name, "Lucifer Raven," spoken.
Luke is leaving Katelyn for her own good. She deserves so much better than him. She is everything good and kind in this world.
Due to some family issues, Katelyn goes home, to LA. Where Luke is... While there, she faces some dangers, that she proves she has the strength to persevere.
Luke, tries to right some wrongs. Does he succeed? Hmmm???
There are so many twists, turns and loops to conquer in this book, but it is so worth it. And...Helen, as always, the queen of cliffhangers.
Raven: Gems of Wolfe Island Two needs to be read after Moonstone, book 1. But truly, you should go all the way back and start from the beginning of the Wolfe dynasty, with Rebel: Wolfe's of Manhattan book 1.

Believe what you feel deep down in your heart.
Luke feels like he has to right all his wrongs. He’s definitely a changed man, but feels guilty about his past. Katelyn is still recovering from being on Wolfe Island emotionally and is trying to get her life back. They fell in love quickly. I was on the edge through this entire book, of what was going to happen next. It's very intense. These characters put the other person first before themselves, like only one in true love can do. You will have to read Moonstone first, but I will tell you that this series is amazing. Of course, as Helen Hardt does best, you’re left hanging at the end waiting for the next book. Please read, You won’t be disappointed.

I'm Hooked
Thank you, Helen Hardt, for writing a series that has sucked me into your world! I had bought several of your books earlier, but hadn't taken the time to start reading them. Now that I have, I am so glad to have been smart enough to have bought them in the first place!
Katelyn and Luke's story continued with more closeness and love wrapping them into a couple you wouldn't want to see broken apart, but then danger and mayhem step in to try.
Please continue to read their story, if you haven't already, and if you haven't started, begin with "Moonstone". You will not be sorry!

Helen has done it again. Katelyn aka Moonstone is so much stronger than she gives herself credit for and wow talk about coming full circle. As so Raven aka Luke he is so in love with her and the loyalty that they show each other is what we are missing in this day and age. You will not want to miss out this fantastic story.

I have NEVER paid more than $5 for a Kindle read, but I am so into this story that I had to after reading Moonstone. Packed full of action, suspense and more. Katlyn has survived ten years of horror. She is trying to learn to live. She meets Luke and there is an instant connection. Each one has secrets from their past they are afraid to share. Will it work from them? Read to discover.

Never say never
I absolutely love this book as I do all of Helen’s books. People can be very complicated, compromised and reset. This book exemplifies John Donne’s meditation 17 where strength comes from adversity. Absolutely loved this book

WOW!!! This was fantastic! I was looking forward to this book, since the first book was a cliff hanger. Helen Hardt did not disappoint with this captivating story. This didn't end in a cliff hanger, but I'm still looking forward to May for the third book.

Nerve wrecking
I loved it .the suspence. Not knowing what was going to happen. Loved how it ended and can't wait to read the next one that follows. I do recommend this series to be 📚.

Book 2 of the Gems of Wolfe Island and the second book in Luke and Katelyn’s story. Bit of a weird ending so not sure if their story continues on in book 3 as well but it is a very good read and has you hooked. I loved how it’s characters interact.

Just Keep Reading
Three times was all I could put this book down
My suggestion? Star reading when you have lots of time. Intriguing, exciting, surprising. You will not be disappointed in this book and I have many books by this author - excuse me, I’m off to buy my next one.
