Tears of the Hawk

Sons of Earth and Wind #1

by Barbara Clark

Security specialist, Hawk Adams, will brave any danger to protect a woman, but he'll never trust one. Years in the shadows of covert operations taught him to suppress his softer emotions. So when he rescues Charity Starr from kidnappers, he's stunned by the tenderness and passion she ignites in him. Born with psychic gifts, Charity has locked them away in self-protection. The moment Hawk steps into her hospital room, he not only opens her paranormal abilities, but also expands them. Because of his unconscious ability, his very presence endangers her life. But as Hawk takes on the self-appointed task to protect Charity from her ruthless enemies, they grow closer, and Hawk learns he can't protect his wounded heart from her healing love.

Reviews

[Bree · Rating 1 out of 5]

It was a freebie from eReader.com and I've tried reading it 3 times, and haven't been able to get into it. The virginal heroine, damaged hero plot doesn't work for me in contemporary romance.

Plot was good. Villains and Hawk were great, but Charity made me roll my eyes a couple of times and say out loud "oh get over it!". She was beyond stubborn, borderline stupid recless.
