Hawk Crest #2
Hawk's Passion
Theirs was a tale of tragedy and triumph...
Four children abandoned in an orphanage. Two missing parents. One man whose hatred had divided a family, whose duplicity ended in murder, inextricably weaving all their lives together in a web of lies that only time could untangle.
Simon Gault
Jason would do whatever it took to bring down the corrupt shipping magnate. The supposedly upright citizen had betrayed Galveston during the war, causing untold deaths. But even more disturbing was his twisted desire to seduce innocent Elizabeth Huntington. No matter how determined she was to make her own way in the rowdy, war-ravaged city, Jason swore he would protect the daring young beauty from Gault, help find her missing family and then win her heart.

Absolute rubbish
Why bother mentioning the four siblings if you're not going to add them in the plot. At least the sibling that has come foward so far.
This book was so disappointing in so many ways. There was no chemistry between H and h. There was barely any contact between them until 68% of the book where all of a sudden the clothes are coming off and they're going at it. Where was the character development? Also, this is a historical with contemporary vocabulary. One of the villains refers to H as "boyfriend" really?
At 98% the H and h are strutting around as a couple with no chaperone which i find hard to believe in this era especially with supposedly "respectable" people.
It was also annoying how easy and predictable it was for conversations to be overheard and plots to form.
This book seemed more like an attempt at suspense and thriller with a little romance thrown in.
There was a marriage somewhere too but that was just thrown in at the epilogue and wasn't even from the H or h perspective. Futher in the epilogue is mention that they will be back.
I have a feeling the next two books will be just a another bunch of rubbish while waiting for the actual story in book four. That's if you want to see the siblings together.

The choice
This book was okay I just could not feel the love in the beginning. The story was just too buckeye for me.

Great series
I am thoroughly enjoying this series of books western. Romance. Suspense. Finish one and go right to the next. My house will never get cleaned.
