Hawks Prize

I received the book in a few days. It was well wrapped and in great condition. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

Oh, yeah, knock out the star and let an angel nurse him back to health. It works for me. Now the bed hopping did not. Drew Collins rode into Galveston with his buddie, Willie Childers, not expecting to stop at the bordello when his leg pained him so. He was all for passing on as Galveston seemed to be overrun with blue coats. It would only be a matter of time that they found out that he was wanted. He chased Willie on home and stayed to pass out from infection - Well Tricia had already made it to the bordello, against Chantalle's wishes, so who else was qualified to nurse the big man after calling the doctor? Yup! there in starts the attraction - I wondered how she fit into the plot. Angie was up to her old tricks as usual and snoped into Drew's money bag. She went running to Simon Gault with tales of this new man in town. Chantalle sent one of her men to La Posada to find Whit Hawk - wouldn't you know he was gone on a cattle drive. Gault sent his man, Bruce Carlton, to eliminate this man, Drew just in case. Therein starts a lot of trouble and the downfall of the mighty. Gault has syphoned a lot of his money to Houston in hopes of making more when he leaves Galveston, that is after he gets rid of all of the Hawk offspring. He is hoping that they are now all together and he will enjoy a little vengence as he bumps off each and every one. He also has a score to settle with Chantalle. The only woman he could not bend to his will. Suddenly there happens to be dead bodies popping up. Bringing in Col. Clay Madison who is now married to J.L. Rebel [Hawk] - He refuses to let her get involved but she does some research on the stolen gold shipment. Jason Dodd is bringing his wife Elizabeth home from New York, after the death of her foster mother, as he still means to bring Gault to justice for the death of his friend. Bruce lost the oportunity to kill Dodd. Whit finally shows up and stomps into Drew's room. Although Drew refused to believe that his brother was here in Galveston, he did recognize Whit. What a reunion. [I found a distinct lack of self-preservation in these characters] If one has been through harrowing experiences one tends to be suspicious of all that is going on around one. [Don't let the mind wander.] And Tricia, as usual, just has to be where she shouldn't [because of hormones] Sure does muddle the mind. Well, guess who sets fire to the bordello? I thoroughly enjoyed the resolution of all of the Hawk's conflicts and the destruction of evil. [although not grusome enough]. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -M - as a set - not hard to read - romantic scenes and emotions just a bit dull - but then I like intense, restrained passion, not necessarily grafic sex [after marriage they can do all the huffing and puffing they want.]

I found this book to be easy-reading as well as intriguing. I wanted to just read the whole book without taking a break! The entire plot of the orphaned family was so interesting, yet very life-like. I could almost feel myself in the story.

This was an excellent story in and of itself, but as a series it was wonderful. The story and people are great! Read all 4 books in 2 days. Could not put them down. I am becomeing an avid fan of O'Banyon's western historical romances! Cannot wait to see what comes out next!

Drew Hawk, the last of the 4 siblings to return to Galveston,Texas. He has an injured leg and passes out in the town bordello. Tricia nurses him back to health, they soon fall in love. I had a hard time getting through the book, it took a while to read, don't know if it was the story or me not being in the mood to read. It was a great end to the series. A suspision I had of Chantalle, (the owner of the bordello) in the first book turned out to be true. Wasn't one of the best series' of books I have read, but was worth the while.
