I liked this book alot better than the first in the series. I enjoyed the love story between Jason and Elizabeth. I am just a little disappointed in the fact that she didn't meet her brother. I also felt that the end was shoved together to get the book finished. Otherwise it was a good read.

This review is from: Hawk's Passion (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Hawk's pledge was a wonderful start to what I thought would be a great series. Unfortunately Barbieri's Hawks Passion is b-o-r-ing and accomplishes very little. It is filled with how evil
'simon gault' is and it took until the last 1/4 of the book before the storyline improved at all. There really isnt any love story. Jason and Eliz skirt around each other for most of the book then fall in bed for an uninspired tryst. The only character that has any depth is Chantalle, the good hearted madam. If u must read this, go to the library 'cause thisis not a keeper shelf book.........

4.0 out of 5 stars fine western romance, August 2, 2006

This review is from: Hawk's Passion (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

In 1866 Galveston, Texas, Elizabeth Huntington investigates her murky past as she remembers nothing except being adopted after an orphanage fire and raised in New York City with love and affection. Her only clue to her roots is a pendant with the name "Sarah Jane" inscribed on it. Her quest brings her to shipping mogul Simon Gault, who not only recognizes the pendant; he knows who she is, but reveals nothing. He has plans for Elizabeth.

Jason Dodd finds a shocked Elizabeth with blood all over her and dripping from her hands looking over a murdered body. He quickly takes her with him to protect her from Simon, who he obsesses over exposing the man's nefarious lethal dealings. When she leaves the shelter of their hiding place, someone shoots Elizabeth. Jason takes her again to safety while wondering how to keep her safe from the likes of the depraved Simon.

The second Hawk tale (see HAWK) is a fine western romance that brings vividly to life Texas just after the Civil War. The prize of this solid historical is the tug of war between Jason (representing good) and Simon (evil) with Elizbath as the rope. Though the two male rivals are somewhat stereotyped, readers will enjoy Elaine Barbieri's interesting Americana tale.
