4/5 Stars 🌟
Complete Me is book 2 in the Hawthorn Hills Series and the conclusion to Sienna & Reid's story. This book can not be read as a standalone. It picks up right where Complicate Me ended and throws us into a whirlwind of emotions, angst, heartache with an added crime/danger/adventure element to it.
Tensions are high and Sienna feels torn, heartbroken, stressed and angry. She is trying to be there for her brother Caleb as well as deal with the truth behind her Father's death. She knows deep down she loves and cares about Reid but doesn't know if she can get passed his families involvement in the destruction of hers and whether or not he knew the truth. She is conflicted, broken and somewhat stubbornly doesn't want to see or believe what Reid is trying to tell her. It did take me a little longer to connect with her in this half of the story but I did really love her even when she frustratingly kept pushing Reid away.
Reid is determined to prove his love, loyalty and friendship to both Sienna and Caleb who he has always felt are more his family than his actual one. He is trying to find a way to fix everything his Father has broken and decides to make a decision that could impact all of their lives. I loved him soooo very much. He is kind, caring, passionate, brave, cheeky, sexy and focused.
Sienna & Reid's story has been such an enjoyable rollercoaster of ride and I really enjoyed how this part of the duet nicely and smoothly set up whats to come next with Ruby & Caleb as I'm sure Caleb's story is going to break my heart but I'm so ready for it.

Meet Claire Raye
Not only is Claire Raye a really sweet pen name, it’s actually a pen name for two sarcastic best friends who met through their mutual love of reading. After bonding over books (and wine and cheese), Claire and Raye decided to take the plunge and see if they could write a book together and ta dah… The Rockport Beach Series was born! In addition to their shared love of food and dropping an occasional (read: a lot) of f bombs, the writing duo that is Claire Raye like to write about strong sassy females who aren’t afraid to say what’s on their mind and the overprotective men who fall in love with them.
Writing The Rockport Beach Novels was so much fun, even if book two needed a shared vacation, a stolen bottle of champagne and far too much vodka and POG to get it back on track! Both halves of Claire Raye are married and both of their husbands have a cheeky side that gets plenty of airtime in their books. From their smart mouths to their witty one-liners, there’s plenty of material to use for all those alpha males Claire and Raye love to write about.
While Claire and Raye aren’t sure they’ll ever reveal who they really are – there’s just something about your co-workers knowing you write erotic love scenes that makes having a pen name that much easier – they are definitely going to keep on writing. With several more books out since the Rockport Beach Series released, Claire and Raye are constantly chatting new ideas, new plots and of course, their next couple! So stick around, there’s so much exciting stuff to share with you all!
