When Maddie Carter comes back from the grave, will Hawk have a fresh start with the one who got away?Deep Six pilot, former Army Nightstalker, Rhett Hawkins, knew the day would come, but he had hoped it wouldn’t be until after he was gone. Maddie Carter was destined to die young, because that is just how she lived. She flew by the seat of her pants and flying as all she cared about. He’d learned … cared about. He’d learned that the hard way, when he asked her to marry him and she shot him down.
But after her memorial service, Hawk just couldn’t get past the feeling that something was wrong with the recounting of the events that led to the crash and her supposed death. Neither the helo or her body had been found. It drove him insane until he decided to do some investigation of his own. After getting conflicting stories from two surviving special operators, he knew he had to go the full distance to settle his mind.
Once in Central America, Hawk realizes there is much more going on than the Army knows. Not only is the now blacked-out military helicopter back in service, Maddie is behind the stick making drug runs for a brutal cartel.
When he has to convince her she needs to be rescued, Hawk sees she is not the same. Captain Maddie Carter is scarred, hardened and has no memory of him or her former life at all.
Back home, when her memory starts to return and secrets are revealed, could it mean he’d only rescued her to lose her again? Would those secrets change his own life forever too?

Fast-paced, emotionally charged and well-written, this is another fantastic book in the Deep Six Security series. Can be read alone but you’ll want to read the rest because they’re so engaging!
Absolutely love this series each book has amazing characters. This one you wont be able to put it down
I loved it! My emotions were all over the place. I wanted to wring someone’s neck, several someones. I was so scared and upset, I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. Just when I thought all was good, Wham, another sh*tstorm. I HAD to finish it so I could sleep. The intensity is indescribable and makes you forget you’re reading a romance
WOW!! This was a GREAT story! I loved Maddie and Hawks story!! It was exciting, intense and really pulled at my heartstrings! I was glued to my seat from beginning to end! Out of all the books in this series so far, this is my favorite! I really liked Hawk before but he shows so much more of himself and what is going on with him in this! Him and Maddie are perfect together!!
Very intense. I couldn’t put it down.
I love romantic suspense and Becky McGraw’s Deep Six Security books are right up there as one of those series I am always waiting to see what she is going to do next. Hard Landing has not only one bad-ass pilot in it, but two and even though Maddie finds herself in a situation that totally blows, we know that Hawk an the Deep Six Security guys will get her out.
This was one emotional read for me, a box of tissues was damaged in the reading of this book and I won’t lie, there were some expletives thrown around. 😉 A couple of times I wanted to smack people down and ask this author why!!!! Then at other times I could have stood up and cheered these characters on. What an amazing read.
What a great story. A wonderful storyline full of action, intrigue, romance, and strong heroes and heroines that get the job done. My emotions were up and down all over the place. It captured my attention from the beginning and held my rapt interest until the end.
Best of the Deep Is Series! Hawk and Maddie have an exciting story filled with unpredictable, action packed twists and turns. You are truly hooked into this story from the beginning. The helicopter crash and Maddie’s thoughts are breath-taking, it is extremely well written. I couldn’t put this one down. The story line is very well balanced between Hawk and Maddie, so you see the development of their relationship from both points of view.There is a happily ever after, but the plot twists keep you turning the pages, unsure if the end result will turn out the way you hope for Maddie and Hawk.
Hard Landing is quick read that leaves some unanswered questions. The story of Hawk and Maddie has many twists and turns. I hope we get to read about Maddie in the future to see how she overcame certain things.
The character development is quick and while this story is Book 6 in the Deep Six Security Series, it can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. There are so many things I want to put into this review because I wanted to yell and scream at a few of the characters at different points but I feel like I would be giving things away.
Becky McGraw has become a “one-click” author for me.
Rhett is still reeling from Maddie choosing Nightstalkers over him. Now he is at her funeral. As time goes on, he knows he has to find her body in order to get on with his life. With her brother Max and his team, they head out.
Maddie flies these trips with the drugs in order to stay alive and have her daughter. They keep her drugged. She has just been rescued.
Now the long haul of Rhett trying his best to have Maddie remember him and fall in love with him again. They also have a fight on their hands when Maddie is arrested.
This is another amazing Deep Six story!!!
This is one amazing story that will take you on an emotional roller-coaster ride. Just when you think you have processed one you will spiral right into another. The details and descriptions in this book are so well written it feels as if you are there seeing and experiencing it firsthand and the depth of the characters is genuine. I wanted to scream at Maddie for the poor decisions and wrong choices she made, praise her for her determination and strength through the worst of times and cheer her on when she prevailed and overcame the worst situations you could imagine finding yourself in. And for Hawk, he was such a bright, happy, genuine soul and he put up with so much my heart just broke for him over and over. He was truly an amazing guy and I would love to have him on my side any time. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish as you follow Hawk and Maddie’s harrowing adventure. There are many twists and turns and shocking discoveries that will keep you glued to the pages. Hard Landing is a fantastic conclusion to the original Deep Six Security series. I cannot wait to see what stories the author has lined up for us in the Deep Six East spin-off series. HOORAH for an outstanding adventure!
Former Army Nightstalker pilot Rhett Hawkins was sure that the day would come, but truly had hoped it would not be until he was gone.
Maddie Carter was destined to die young, only because that is how she loved, she flew by the seat of her pants.
This book shows clearly what a good story should have, love, loyalty, service, pain, disappointments, basically what life can dish out its in the book. Maddie is shot down taken by the Cartel, severely injured and has a baby, thank god that Hawk wanted proof of her death and with her brother went looking for for her.
Many things still stand in their way for a happy ending, but its worth reading it and seeing what journey Hawk and Maddie go
Hawk and Maddie were in love. That’s why when she was killed on a mission, his instincts would not let him rest until he could she her dead body. But what he found in the jungle was way more than he imagined.
Maddie was injured and being used to make drug runs against her will. But she fights the men who say they are there to rescue her because she doesn’t know them. Eventually they get her to trust them and they all make it out alive.
Once back home Maddie struggles to regain her memory but that is the least of her troubles. Now that she’s back, the government wants to know what really happened on that mission and is not convinced that Maddie is telling the truth.
I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.

Hard Landing is book 6 in the Deep Six Security series and the final one. What a way to end this series and show the beginning of the next one Deep Six Security/East Coast. Way to go, Becky McGraw!
Hawk and Maddie has been together for a long time, both are pilots but Maddie is always trying to show her father that she the best. Hawk knew when she left on her latest mission she probably would not be coming back but he was unprepared for her death. Even at the memorial service he still couldn’t believe she was gone forever…but when he started to have nightmares again they always had Maddie in the center of them. Something kept telling him that her death and how she died didn’t seem right. After six months of wondering, he decides to try and find her body and her plane and bring them home but when he and the Deep Six guys find her plane, she is flying it. Now he understands what the dreams were telling him until they finally rescue her and find she is no longer the same person she was and she has a baby daughter…
Maddie’s plane crashed in the jungle and she is taken prisoner by a drug lord who is determined to make her fly the drugs to the drop off points. Maddie was wounded badly and lost her memory so in order to get her to fly again they keep her on drugs and use her daughter as leverage to keep her docile. When Hawk and the Deep six guys find her and take her away she has no recollection of who they are…
Can Hawk show her that they were once a strong, connected loving couple and help her get her memories back and become a family with their daughter or will the drug cartel destroy it all??
So much drama, suspense, tension, passion that this book will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page is read! !
Madeline “Maddie” Carter wants to impress her father. Rhett Hawkins has feelings of regret and loss. Theirs is one of the toughest and thankless jobs there is. Until we can walk in his or her shoes no one has the right to have anything negative to say. This was a tough read because of everything that Maddie has had to endure.
If you’ve seen the commercials for the Wounded Warrior Project, this story is a great incentive to make a donation. Maybe in honor of a loved one that’s served. We all need to help those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s a great way to show we care.
This was a story that made me very mad. Some men are real jerks – and that’s the printable version. If he weren’t a fictional character… I’ll let you fill in the blank. Just shows this author knows what she’s doing. She’s also created a great champion in Rhett and Maddie’s brother Max. Another great champion came in the package of one Colonel Claire Wright. Had me wishing that I was there so I could also show my support.
This was my first encounter with this series and it left me wondering why I’ve never heard of it before. That’s one great thing about following or finding a tour; you find both new authors and new books. And it leaves you hankering for more. I’m afraid that I got hooked and didn’t put it down until I was done. I look forward to discovering more of the Deep Six Security series.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Omg this story is so awesome. There is lots of action an twist an turns. It will keep you reading. My heart broke a few time. I even got really pissed a few times. I love feeling like I am right there in the story an to feel what is going on. This story had me right there. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next.
This book starts out in the heat of the moment and then has me in tears.
There are times in books when you want to smack a character upside the head and believe me the beginning of this book was one of those times.
Maggie ignores what is right in front of her, the man who loves her unconditionally and is offering her everything. All to join a special forces team her father, the General, because he pulled strings to get her admitted to the training.
Hawk can’t fight the force of the guilt that led Maggie to reject his proposal and walks away, saying good-bye. Not just for now, forever.
When Hawk’s informed of her death, he meets up with her brother at the funeral. Max shares the intel he has on the incident that resulted in her death and something about that report doesn’t sit right with Hawk.
A very tense mission follows, looking for the cartel and getting Maggie out. A big surprise awaits Hawk and the rescue becomes even more complicated.
Confrontations with Maggie’s father are intense on all sides. Maggie’s memory is a problem the Army needs to resolve and they also want their damn helo back.
A page turning, action packed, heartrending story, causing many tears and hold your breath moments. But also many smiles as well.

As always, when you have a series, characters become family. Family are ever in your corner, supportive and there to help, no questions asked. The entire Deep 6 Team, plus some new characters, are part of this adrenalin packed action and high stakes drama. It’s a race against time, a race to find truth amid deception. This is the Deep Six Family at it’s best.
It’s a beautifully written story. When you have wonderful characters you want more to their story, and this story delivers the more… so much emotion through adversity and lose.
You will become invested in their lives. A page turner from the very first word to the last word. Get caught up in the love, turbulent fight for life, a beautiful romance that needs to unfold once again as memories are lost. It’s a dramatic suspense in their journey.
