REVIEW ~ HAWK’S REVENGE by VIVI ANDREWS
HAWK’S REVENGE (LONE PINE PRIDE #3)
by
VIVI ANDREWS
Her betrayal is unforgivable. But their passion? Unforgettable.
Hawk-shifter Adrian Sokolov made the mistake of trusting the beautiful Dr. Rachel Russell once—and wound up drugged, captured, and experimented on inside Organization Labs.
He isn’t about to make the same mistake again, but when she offers to help him escape this hell hole, he can’t say no. Her only condition? That he take her with him.
From the moment Rachel discovered her bosses’ true intent, she’s been secretly smuggling shifters out of the Labs. But now the higher-ups suspect they have a mole, and it’s time to flee—but not before she frees the golden-eyed hawk she was forced to betray.
When their escape goes wrong, Adrian wakes, confused and alone, in the safety of the Lone Pine Pride infirmary and realizes he may have left behind the one ally the shifters had within the Organization—the same breathtaking woman who invades his dreams.
Now he must face the Organization that destroyed him… before she pays for his freedom with her life.
Warning: This book contains betrayals, escapes, rescues, plots, double-crosses, a sexy surly hero, a heroine who deserves sainthood… and a pride full of trouble.

BLP REVIEW ~ REBECCA
Hawk’s Revenge is #3 in the Lone Pine Pride series and another good shifter outing for Vivi Andrews.
I really enjoyed #2 Taming the Lion, Roman and Patch’s story romped along with humour, hotness and bags of sexy so I was interested to continue the series. Adrian and Rachel have a completely different pace and feel to their story but it works well, the inclusion of all the other characters we have previously met is something I love, it’s always nice to see how couples are getting on, looking for clues for future pairings and then of course there’s Dominic, he’s a breed apart in every sense!!
I usually prefer the lions, tigers, bears and wolves with my shifters as I like a certain type of build in my fantasy men, tall, huge and rugged so for me to enjoy Adrian, a lean Hawk shifter, as much as I did was a surprise in a way, shallow but truth! He has a lovely tortured broodiness to him that I liked and was drawn to, his battle with his conflicted feelings for Rachel was an engaging read and as a couple they worked, not as ‘in your face’ hot and steamy as the previous two but more a slow burn emotional grabs you.
There is a lot going on in this instalment, The Organization and Lone Pine Pride are on a collision course and this is being staged and developed throughout this book leading towards the next. Trust is a huge issue between Rachel and Adrian given how her betrayal led to his capture even though it was for the greater good. The complexities of how and why they met, the betrayal and its consequences makes you feel a whole heap of sympathy for both of them and hope for a HEA. While the villain and what was going to happen may have been blatantly obvious I was at no point bored or disinterested, as I said the pace is different but suits the story perfectly.
This is a good shifter book, an excellent addition to the series and I am looking forward to much more from Dominic, he intrigues me, and from Grace who is so kickass and funny I want to be her!
Warning: This book contains betrayals, escapes, rescues, plots, double-crosses, a sexy surly hero, a heroine who deserves sainthood… and a pride full of trouble.

Author: Kemmie Michaels
Genre: Contemporary
Hosted by: Francessca’s Romance Reviews
Synopsis:
Erin never would have expected to fall in love. Never. Not with her past, and not with her fear. She never dated; she didn’t even allow herself friendships. She didn’t trust her judge-of-character skills enough to allow anyone close…until Marcus.
With him, a deep connection happened in spite of the walls she’d so carefully constructed around herself. His self-confessed rage fueled much of his life, with the exception of her. For Erin, Marcus dares to make the step toward love…one with the potential to heal them both.
What others had to say about the book:
What an amazing, beautiful story of two people falling in love before they even meet.~ Goodreads
I found this book so charming. I loved watching Erin evolve from victim to victor. I loved watching Marcus learn to trust himself as Erin opened up to him. I loved everything from their playful banter to the scenes where Marcus was fiercely protective of her. ~ Goodreads Review
Such a wonderful book, that I will continue to remember because it has such strong meaning and is so much more than a book about love and sex but it’s about growing and becoming who you want to be In Erin’s case “adorable badass butterfly”. ~ Goodreads Review

About The Author
Mother of Two Boys…
My husband and I have been married for 17 years and are blessed with two amazing young men. They are 10 and 12 right now, and both are on very different parts of the autism spectrum. I’ve learned so much being their mom and I feel pretty lucky to have become part of a community of loving, understanding people.
If you’d like to meet my oldest son, watch Big Bang Theory and shake hands with Sheldon. Those two are so similar, straight down to the fake laugh when they recognize something is funny.
My youngest cannot be explained. He’s more of an experience, and a joyful one at that.
Romance Novelist…
I’ve always loved to write. I’ve written for newspapers and magazines, also a host of personal projects. Then in December of 2012 I was reading on my first Kindle, gobbling up romances left and right. That’s when I fell in love with Ethan Blackstone, by the way.
I was inspired to sit down and write. Less than one year later I’ve published three books, written another and its sequel novella, and started on two more. Another series popped into my head, as well. Now as of August of 2014, I’m on the verge of publishing book six, with at least five started or specifically planned. Since I’m sure I won’t update this bio for a long time, you’ll have to rely on my Facebook updates to know what’s going on with Kemmie Michaels romances.
