Stone Hawke is precisely the kind of man women are warned about—handsome, intelligent, arrogant, and intricately entangled with some dangerous people. I should stay away, but he manages to strip my soul bare with just a look and dominates my thoughts. Bad decisions are in my past. My life is (mostly) on track, even if it is no longer the one to medical school. I can’t allow myself to cave to the … the fierce pull and ardent attraction I feel toward the youngest Hawke.
Nora Eriksson is off-limits, and not just because she’s my brother’s employee and sister-in-law. Despite the fact she’s stripping at The Hawkeye Club, she has an innocent and pure heart. Normally, the only thing that appeals to me about innocence is the opportunity to taint it. But not when it comes to Nora. I can’t expose her to the filth permeating my life. There are too many things I can’t control, things completely out of my hands. She doesn’t deserve any of it, but the power she holds over me is stronger than any addiction.
The hardest battles we fight are often with ourselves, but only through defeating our own demons can we find true peace.

I was completely blown away with Stone Sober. I have been a fan of Gwyn’s work since the first page of Savage Collision, and Stone Sober just reconfirms that. This is the third book in The Hawke Series!
Stone Hawke, the youngest of the Hawke kids, is a fresh lawyer out in California, but soon moves back to NOLA to work for a man he considers to be like a father. Nora, Dani’s (from Savage Collision) younger sister, works as a stripper in Savage Hawke’s (Savage Collision) club, The Hawkeye. Stone knows that he is no good, but he can’t seem to stay away from Nora. Just as things to start to take a turn in the right direction for these two unexpected things come out into the open that will jeopardize everything.
Stone Sober is beyond amazing and is my favorite book in the Hawke Series. Stone’s life wasn’t an easy one from early on, starting with his father dying when he was 5. Stone comes off as a jerk and an asshole from the beginning, but underneath all that he was someone that you fall head over heals in love with. This was not a book that I was able to put down. There were many times during the book that my heart was racing and there was so much anxiety over what was going to happen next. The sex scenes in the book were HOT!!! I won’t lie, I had to use google for some of the scenes, so that I could visualize what was going on. THE MEAT HOOK OR LUCIFER HOOK!! JUST SO HOT!!!
You seriously don’t want to miss out on reading this book. Even though it can be read as a standalone, you would totally understand it more if you start at the beginning with Savage Collision.
Stone Sober was the third book in this series. It was quite a ride. Stone is a very complicated man while Nora has her own issues.
This story had me on the edge of my seat the whole time!
I loved that both of them were able to find each other and help each other heal.
There are twists and turns that I didn’t figure out! Thank you for that!
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done!
Have the tissues and alcohol handy. You will need them. But only after you need a change of panties (if you wear them). Stone Sober is HOT! And I mean scorching hot.
In my opinion, I’ll take Stone Hawke over a certain Mr. Grey any time.
Nora is sweet and seemingly innocent. Stone, well, he’s not. Far from it. Still, they manage to balance each other out and meet the needs of the other. They have their problems, and they have their secrets. Can they get past their pasts and find their HEA? Well, you have to read it to find out.
I could hardly believe it when I heard that Stone and Nora’s book was coming, and I was not disappointed. Stone and Nora are perfect together and I love their chemistry. This well written emotional read exceeded my expectations. The journey Stone and Nora go on make this book a memorable, tear worthy story. It’s full of angst, drama, frustration, heart, and a great romance. I definitely recommend this book and this series.
Stone Sober continues the Hawke Family drama from books 1 and 2. Everything comes to a head in this book. First, though, you have the story of Nora, Good girl stripper, and Stone Hawke, Bad boy lawyer. Stone is filthy, no good. Nora spots it from miles away, except there’s something that pulls her in.
Follow their journey from Sort of In-Laws to hot and sexy mystery secret couple. From hot to Wild, Stone lets Nora see every side of who he really is.
With some epic heartbreaking moments to hotter than hot sex scenes, this book will have you screaming WTF about a dozen times and screaming at your kindles, and gripping it tightly.
This book isn’t a standalone so make sure you read Savage Collision and Tortured Skye first!
STONE SOBER by GWYN MCNAMEE
Five Stars
I’m at a lost for words. Stone is omg I can’t even think after reading this story. Let’s just say Nora is a lucky woman. Though Stone feels like he his the lucky one. Nora had a lot going for her and felt untrue to herself. I’m so glad she stopped and thought of her own happiness before she continued her path. I understand wanting to make everyone else proud and giving them what they want. But at the end of the day if you aren’t the one enjoying it was it worth it? This mob is really going in on this family and I’m crossing my fingers that they keep coming out on top. I hope my next relationship with a family lime this. They stick together and don’t let people get in their way.
Stone Sober: A Hawke Family Novel (The Hawke Family Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee
5++++++ Stars
OMG..These book are killing me….I knew when I opened this one it was going to be an emotional one and I was so right….So much going on I don’t even know where to start.
I knew when reading Books 1 & 2 that somewhere along the way Stone would get his story and I knew there had to be a lot more to him than what I was seeing previously. As unsure of him as I was it did not take long to fall head over heels for this guy. As his story unfolds everything about him starts making sense and the way he felt about Nora…sigh…He tried to do the right thing and stay away from her but he just couldn’t help it. Nora is Dani’s sister and the sole reason that Dani met Savage when she did. I loved Nora…her cute ways of trying not to swear made me smile. She wasn’t all innocent and pure but was definitely not the type of woman that would stir Stone normally. Dani also tried to stay away from him but the draw was too strong and watching her struggle with how much she found herself loving all that Stone was and had to offer made complete sense.
It was the rest of the story that had me all messed up…So many things that came out of left field and made my jaw drop…This had my feelings all over the place, I went from being totally angry to completely heartbroken many times and I could not predict how this one was going to end, at one point I thought omg there’s not enough time for some of this to be dealt with but once again this author had everything under control and my love for her writing just gets stronger the more I read. So many things still to come and I’ve already got the next ready to go and can not wait to jump back in to this amazing family…
Trust me…Start from the beginning, do not read these out of order…
On to Book 4…..
Stone Sober is book three in the Hawke Family series by Gwyn McNamee. This story centres around Storm and Nora. Can i just say the names of these characters get my heart racing just reading them. The guys names are so manly and fitting for each character so far, it just is simply unleashed talent and delivery of amazing stories. It just impresses me beyond measure.
Stone just wormed his way into my thoughts and heart and left his own unique little mark. I don’t know whether it is because i feel he had the most pressure put on him, more so self inflicted, or whether he always felt he had something to prove, but he just dragged those caring emotions out of me more than any other character. Nora was not supposed to get under his skin like she did, but cupid had other ideas. Nothing can stop true love and theirs was destiny. But they had to fight for it, and their struggle for happiness will be an ongoing one. Nora does what she has to do and her innocence is endearing and brings out every protective instinct i have. She is a character that makes you want to tuck her under your wing and shelter her from any deluge.
Gwyn McNamee provided another twisting, intriguing and unputdownable story. Their rare and deadly story was unforgettable and hard to match. A pleasure to get to know was this cast, and getting to know more is a real addiction for me. 5 stars.
Stone Sober: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 3) Gwyn McNamee was not what I expected, it was better. Gwyn is a great story teller and this is one of my favourite series. I have loved the other two books in the series but this is my favourite so far, they just keep getting better and better, if that is even a possibility. Gwyn weaves lots of twists and turns that will have your heart pumping and emotions running all over the place. There are laughter and tears, sorrow and doubt, confusion and heartache, love and heartbreak and that is just naming a few. It is a little dark as well and that just adds to the excitement, drama and thrills.
Stone is the baby of the family and has just returned home but he is not so sure that is a good thing. He has a secret that only one other person knows, a secret that has led him down the wrong path, a secret that he uses vices to try to escape from. Now he has found a new vice and knows he needs to stay away or ruin a beautiful thing.
Nora is smart and sexy and turned away from a brilliant career to strip but no one knows her reasons and no one understands but it is the perfect job, it is freeing and that is just what she needs for now. But when she finally finds out who hides in the corner, in the shadows her life will forever be changed.
Trust me this is an amazing story and you will not want to put it down. It is hot and dark and forbidden and oh so good.
Stone Sober by Gwyn McNamee a sublime five-star read. This is the third book in the Hawke family series and I would recommend you read the books in order Savage Collision first, then Tortured Skye and then Stone Sober each book tells us the story of another member of the Hawke family and this is the turn of Stone Hawke and his personal battles. Stone is a man whom I would normally go for in a heartbeat, a bad boy who is handsome, intelligent and arrogant and comes with a list of bad habits as long as his arms. He sounds like the perfect man for me. The only thing is I’m not the only one who thinks so, Nora Eriksson is also a fan, but she shouldn’t be as everyone has warned her about him and he’s practically family. But Nora has her own battles to fight? Will they be able to fight together or are the stronger apart?
Gwen McNamee is a great author and the whole series is amazing, Savage Collision blew me away and Tortured Skye broke me, this one has put me back together and I can’t wait for Building Storm I am looking forward to being broken all over again. Gwen has a talent that will surprise and astound you, her writing is great and will compel you to keep reading every page until there are no more to read.
What can I say? Gwynn’s book always get my feeling twisted.. rolled for the pain.. Stone is an alpha male who like his control on everything.. he know what he wants.. the thing he want, he will chase it until its HIS.. thats including Nora.. she is the Siren.. her temptation… innocent and pure… Her attraction with Stone… its a dangerous feeling but it felt so good..
This book is fire, sexy, demanding.. kinky love.. taunting… teasing.. sigh i fallen inlove with Stone…
