ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 28, 2026

Duty or love…

Hawk always knew he’d be next in line for the title of MC president, but he expected it to be passed on—not thrust upon him after his father was assassinated. Now he’s stretched thin: running the club, keeping the peace at the clubhouse, and hunting for the ones responsible for his father’s untimely death. His trust has all but disappeared when he discovers a secret forged by his father that puts his honor and loyalty to the test.

Katarina was groomed to be a bride—but a mafioso’s bride, not a biker’s. When she learns her powerful father has arranged her marriage to an MC president, she’s crushed. She never dreamed of being so far from her only family, her home, and the one close friend she has. That is, until she meets the mysterious and powerful man she’s promised to.

Neither Hawk nor Katarina were prepared for each other. Hawk didn’t expect the surge of emotions Katarina awoke within him, and Katarina finds herself possessive of a man she barely knows while navigating a completely foreign way of life. Hawk is torn between his duty to the club, exacting revenge for his father, and his growing obsession with his new bride. She could be his undoing or his salvation — but either way, she’ll push his rigid boundaries to their limits.

When Katarina’s presence stirs up trouble at the clubhouse and Hawk gets closer to the truth behind his father’s murder, loyalties will be tested — and not everyone will survive it.

REVIEW:HAWK is the fifth and final instalment in April Berry’s contemporary, adult DESTINY’S ENFORCER MC: ATLANTA erotic,MC romance series. This is club president Hawk Jones, and twenty-five year old Bratva princess Katarina ‘Kat’ Petrov’s story line. HAWK can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kat and Hawk) HAWK follows the arranged marriage between Destiny’s Enforcer president Hawk Jones, and Bratva Princess Katarina Petrov. In the months since his father Raven’s murder, Hawk has temporarily assumed his father’s former position as president but a contract signed years before finds Hawk forced to marry a woman he does not know. Katarina Petrov has prepared all of her life to become the wife of a man she did not love but Kat never expected to find herself the wife of the Destiny’s Enforcer MC president,a position that places Kat in the direct line of fire. As Kat and Hawk fumble their way through the early days of their marriage, someone else is working behind the scenes to destroy them all.

The world building follows several intersecting pathways including missing women and the take down of a human trafficking ring; the search for the person responsible for Raven’s murder, and the back and forth between our story line couple.

The relationship between Kat and Hawk begins as an arranged marriage, a contract signed years before. Katarina Petrov and Hawk Jones accept their fates equally and without argument but Katarina is no pushover, and refuses to sit back waiting to be told what to do. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and engaging secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story line couples, as well as IT specialist Keys, Hawk’s mother Cindy aka Mother Hen, club girls Jeannie and Sugar, and Kat’s brother Niko Petrov.I am hoping the author has plans for a spin off with Kat’s brother Niko Petrov, and the Petrov Crime Family.

HAWK is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated and impassioned; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 23, 2023

Hawk, Sergeant at Arms of the Devil’s Murder MC, is loyal and cutthroat when it comes to his club. As a protector of his brothers, enforcer of the bylaws, and security, Hawk takes his position seriously, especially now that his president has been murdered by the Dirty Death MC. He won’t rest until the blood of his enemies has been spilled, and justice served. He’ll make damn sure that Rook is avenged and his son Crow doesn’t meet the same fate.

But Hawk didn’t count on the feisty, outspoken, desperate girl needing to rescue her sister from the dirty politician wreaking havoc in Nevada and the escort service that trafficked her out of the city. Callie is willing to do anything to bring her sibling home—even offer herself to a playboy biker who refuses to be shackled with an ol’ lady.

Hawk never gave a damn about anything other than his club and brothers. Living free and wild without attachment kept his life simple and easy. Now, he’s falling for this sweet girl and willing to invest in more than one night in his bed. Callie has him twisted up, ready to go to war to save her family and hoping to claim the innocent, curvy blonde he can’t get out of his head. When she disappears, he knows he’s the only one able to save her. Can Hawk protect her when everything comes crashing down, or will his need for vengeance risk both their lives?

•••••

REVIEW: HAWK is the third instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult DEVIL’S MURDER MC dark, erotic paranormal, MC romance series. This is Sargent at Arms Renner ‘Hawk’ James, and Callie Withers’ story line. HAWK can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading book two as most of the events in HAWK are as of a direct result from the events RAVEN. There is a slight cross over with the multi-authored RBMC series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. Some of the events of HAWK cross over with, and run parallel to the events of RAVEN. The Devil’s Murder is an MC made up of avian shape shifting crows.

Told from three first person perspectives (Hawk, Callie, Undertaker) covering several timelines, HAWK follows in the aftermath of the abduction of Callie’s sister Sadie. Years earlier Hawk rescued an abused and battered woman, and five years later, upon his release from prison for assaulting the man responsible, fate would cross paths when Hawk would come face to face with the battered woman’s sister Callie, the young woman who is desperately seeking her missing sister. Another abduction, a near fatal assault on Hawk’s brother Raven, and the ongoing attacks by the Dirty Death MC find Callie and Hawk struggling in their search for the people involved. As Callie and Hawk’s relationship becomes personal, someone else is targeting our story line heroine.

The relationship between Callie and Hawk is one of immediate attraction. Hawk’s crow knows that Callie is their mate but Callie is unaware of the supernatural aspect of the Devil’s Murder MC. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and often questionable secondary and supporting characters. We are reintroduced to the Devil’s Murder MC: President Crow and his old lady Bella, Raven and Bree, Cuckoo, Talon, Carrion, Claw, their healer Falcon, and IT specialist Eagle Eye, as well as Mayor Elliott, and Dirty Death MC president Undertaker.

HAWK is a fast paced story of power and control, madness and mayhem, abuse and terror, acceptance and love. The premise is detailed, dramatic and intense; the romance is a fated insta-lust to love ; the characters are dynamic, determined and energetic. The conflict has yet to be resolved-Callie’s sister’s whereabouts are unknown.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 26, 2023

Hawk
I am a nomad, moving between chapters of the Untamed Sons Motorcycle Club, trying to find a place to belong. I never wanted to settle down and make roots, not after what happened in my past, but then I meet Wren. She’s the sister of one of the Manchester brothers and she should be off limits for that reason, but what starts as a bit of fun quickly turns serious for me. I didn’t expect to fall for her or come to love her kids as if they were my own, but this little family is fast becoming my world. When their lives are threatened I do the only thing I I go to war with their enemies.

Wren
I never thought I would become the target of a gang, but they want to hurt Brewer and they plan on using me and my kids to do it. Hawk is a distraction I don’t need, but I get lost in him to forget the drama unfolding around me. It started as a one-time thing, a fling with no strings attached. I should have known better. I never expected him to come back for more, but now that Hawk has had me, he’s not willing to walk away. When I find myself in the crosshairs of dangerous men, I realise the only person who can protect me is the man I’m trying so hard to deny.

REVIEW: HAWK is the fifth instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult UNTAMED SONS MC: MANCHESTER dark, erotic MC series. This is nomad Hawk aka Owen, and thirty-five year old, single mother Serenity aka Wren Kelley’s story line. HAWK can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading book four BREWER for back story and cohesion. Some of the events of HAWK cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of book four BREWER. Wren is the sister of Madden ‘Brewer’ Kelley BREWER #4.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Wren and Hawk) HAWK follows in the wake of the rescue of our story line heroine. Years earlier, Serenity now known as Wren, survived several beatings at the hands of her abusive ex, and found herself, along with her four children, healing and thriving in the company of the Untamed Sons MC, a club in which her brother Madden aka Brewer was a member. With the support of the MC, Wren and her children found a family and a home but for the mysterious nomad Owen aka Hawk, who would come in and out of our heroine’s life. Neither Hawk nor Wren were looking for anything permanent until threats against the MC became deadly and dark. Claiming Wren as his own, and the children she loved, Hawk would become guardian and protector in the face of death threats and revenge against the Untamed Sons MC. Murder and torture, revenge and madness would force Wren and her children into seclusion with the MC, but at every turn someone always found a way to get close and threatening. What ensues is the building relationship between Wren and Hawk, and the potential fall-out as Wren and her children become pawns in a dangerous game of revenge.

The relationship between Wren and Hawk begins a ‘friends with benefits’ as neither one is wiling to commit to something more. Hawk is a nomad, with no place to call home but her is quickly falling for the woman who has stolen his heart. Wren has been through H*ll and back, and refuses to place herself, her heart and her children in the direct line fire but Wren knows that Hawk is the man to prove she is worthy of love, a love she will need to move on from the past. The $ex scenes are passionate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and dangerous secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line characters and couples, most of whom will play a large part in the lives of Wren and her children including Madden ‘Brewer’ Kelley who is struggling with his own demons protecting the woman he loves. The requisite evil has many faces.

HAWK is a story of betrayal and revenge, power and control, murder, protection and retribution, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dark, gritty, dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and energetic; the characters are desperate, dynamic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 10, 2019

It’s another season of Renegade baseball and, as they say, the boys are back in town. All except for all-star pitcher, Hawk Sinclair, who has returned to his hometown and back to the ranch he grew up on to rehab after shoulder surgery.

Real estate agent, Bellamy Patrick, feels like she’s failing at being a single mom. Her son is having a hard time fitting in and she’s hoping that playing baseball will be the answer. When he doesn’t make the team, she’s willing to do anything to help him… except that! And that’s exactly what the little league coach expects.

When Hawk’s asked to coach a team of misfit kids, he balks…until he sees how the program is run and how boys are left out. That’s when he knows he has no choice but to do the right thing and turn these boys into the players he knows they can be.

•••••••••

REVIEW:HAWK is the fourth instalment in Heidi McLaughlin’s contemporary, adult THE BOYS OF SUMMER romance series. This is Boston Renegade pitcher Hawk Sinclair, and real estate agent, single mother/ divorcee Bellamy Patrick’s story line. HAWK can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hawk and Bellamy) HAWK follows Boston Renegade pitcher Hawk Sinclair in the aftermath of a near-career ending injury. Heading home to Montana for rest and rehabilitation Hawk will come face to face with real-estate agent Bellamy Patrick, a woman who stirs something deep within our story line hero but not all is well in the small town of Richfield, Montana including a corrupt system of government and a little league coach who doesn’t play on the up and up. What ensues is the building relationship and love between Hawk and Bellamy as they circumvent the local oligarchs in an effort to start up a little league team of their own.

Hawk Sinclair loves the game of baseball but struggles with injuries that could very well end his career. Discovering the local little league coach has too much control over the players and their parents, Hawk takes things into his own hands disrupting the coach’s power and control over the town of Richfield, Montana. Bellamy Patrick struggles in the face of ex-husband less than active parenting skills but when their son does not make the little league team, Bellamy is desperate to help anyway she can, but desperation found our heroine facing threats of a different kind.

The relationship between Hawk and Bellamy is one of immediate attraction and palpable sexual energy. Bellamy is a single mother, five years older than the man with whom she will fall in love but a man whose career and job will take him from her home in Richfield, Montana. The $ex scenes are mostly implied or fade to black.

We are introduced to Bellamy’s ten year old son Chase, her ex-husband Greg; Bellamy’s office manager Karter Watson, and their boss Owen; Hawk’s brother in law Warner; his sisters Avery and Elizabeth, and his nephew Nolan; Hawk’s former best friend and little league coach Brett Larsen and his wife Annie, their daughter Mattingly; Coach David Farmer, as well as several members of the Boston Renegades, their spouses and family: Ethan and Daisy (Third Base #1), Cooper and Ainsley (Home Run 2), Saylor and Travis (Grand Slam #3).

HAWK is a story of secrets and lies; betrayal and vengeance; power, control, revelations and love.The character driven premise is engaging, fast paced and inviting; the romance is passionate; the characters are energetic, lively and dynamic.
