Hawk

A Rough Romance

By: Piper Stone

Narrated by: Thomas Locklear

He's a big, angry former Marine, and I'm going to be sore when he's done with me.

Hawk Travers is not a man to be trifled with. I learned that lesson in the hardest way possible, first with a painful, humiliating public spanking and then much more shamefully in private.

She came looking for trouble. She got a taste of my belt instead.

Bryce Myers pushed me too far and she ended up with her bottom welted. But as satisfying as it is to hear this feisty little reporter scream my name as I put her in her place, I get the feeling she isn't going to stop snooping around no matter how well-used and sore I leave her cute backside.

She's gotten herself in way over her head, but she's mine now, and I protect what's mine.

Publisher's Note: Hawk includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Needs duet narration

The narrator has got a great gravely voice but he’s not so great with female voices. This would have been better if they would have had a female read in her voice.

I loved this book!

First, let me say how much I love Thomas Locklear’s narration. His voices are unique, smooth, and delivered so every line rings with honesty and emotion. His female voices are outstanding- I often forget that I’m listening to a male narrator, he’s that good.

Hawk is an Afghan war vet and military contractor forced to return home when his family is hit with tragedy. He’s closed off, suffering from PTSD and survivors’ guilty, and trying to navigate his way in a civilian world that is foreign to him. Brice is an up and coming tv journalist, working a small market in Missoula, Montana. Their worlds collide, and sparks fly from the start.

Ms. Stone’s books are a fun, sexy listen if you enjoy rough romance and VERY dominant men. Make no mistake though- Brice is very intelligent, soft-reliant, brave, and confident. She faces even what she fears if it means getting to the truth.

Ms. Stone also wrote honestly about the difficulties of a solider transitioning back to civilian life. The PTSD scenes are well-written, empathetic, and believable. I loved seeing these characters learn to open up and trust that they both really are deserving of love.

Special Ops Alpha Male, good mystery, and more

Who could ask for more than an intriguing mystery that brings a tough demanding special ops pro together with a tenacious female journalist, and even though she gets spanked by him in public, their common goals bring them together. And on top of that there is a very young niece who has lost both parents. Lots of threads to pull on the emotions, some very steamy sex, and a good story line.
My first experience of Thomas Locklear as narrator -- I love his voice, though I might not have matched him with this character. But I got over that quickly and hope to find more of his narrations.
My first Piper Stone novel -- I like her work and will look for more of her audio books too.
Go for it!!
