**AN AMAZON TOP 50 BESTSELLER**

They say love makes the world go around.

Mason Lowell set mine spinning.

One night.

Three kisses.

And the promise of more when morning came.

While the city of London slept, he made good on our promise. Only to cut me with his words as the sun broke.

I ran from him—I always ran. But Mason Lowell was different, and he wouldn’t let me go without a fight, finding my flaws and embedding himself into them.

My push was strong. I spent my whole life perfecting it. But his pull was unashamedly stronger, and the rope he bound around my heart was his to pull at will.

Love was shared—so much love. Promises were made—he broke every one. And then just when I think we are playing in the same key...

The music stops.

Grand Lies is book one of The Promise Duet. It is a Billionaire Contemporary Romance and contains themes suited to mature readers.

This book is part of a Duet and is not a standalone.

Girl makes it with clothes on or off.
I admit I read this novel for the sex. I couldn't sleep on a quiet and lonely night. Grand Lies kept me up long into the night, but I am not complaining. The initial meeting between the main characters was very good with many double entendres to spice it up interest wise. The sex is vivid yet delicate in expressing the usual words expressed when two bodies blend together over and over again. I was thoroughly exhausted by the last page then I slept like a baby.

Talk about an emotionally charged book. The characters are fantastic. So much depth and grit to them. I didn’t like Mason in the beginning at all. But by the end he’s grown on me.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ DUET!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022

Ok- let me just say this… JC- you killed it girl!!!!! these books blew my mind- I mean one minute I’m laughing and loving these books and the next my heart is being ripped from my chest, I’m crying hysterically at 3am- like I’m… mind blown!!! Wow. These books are a top favorite on my list…. These books, after I’ve finished reading made me sit here and just left me speechless- as I’m writing this- I’m still all over the place- my heart is still racing.

Masen and Nina- where do I begin with this love story. It’s destructive…. It’s beautiful, it’s heart breaking, and it is absolutely a must read- i couldn’t put down their train wreck of a love story even if I tried- but don’t get me wrong it was amazing and high up on my list of couples I adore in the literary world.

I loved everything about these book- the plot, the amazing side characters- it makes me want more from them. I want all their stories in my mind because these are the types of books that leave you wanting more. I mean there seriously wasnt one thing bad about these books- the chemistry(between all) the steamy
scenes(A+ girrrrllll)

Saw Book 1 posted on tlswanauthor page and I was like if my favorite author is posting this book I’ve got to add it to the TBR- and I’m so glad I did. authorjchawke you are definitely on my top author list to read and I’m looking forward to many more from you!

If you haven’t already- get these books, add them to your TBR. Just read them. You won’t be disappointed

3.0 out of 5 stars UK Spicy Cliffhanger Duet
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
Honestly, this book needed probably one more revision session. The side characters only existed for the main characters. I liked the friendships, but it made the MC’s seem self centered because the sole reason any side character was in a scene was to be there for the MC. The MC’s didn’t develop, probably so that there would be a book 2. I really don’t mind cliffhangers or series, but I skimmed a few chapters because there was just too much of everything: spicy scenes, miscommunications, lack of pertinent information, lack of depth, etc.

Pretty much every chapter has a spicy scene. I really wanted more storyline because of the childhood traumas and subplots, so I wasn’t really interested in the repetitive spice. It seemed a little excessive, even for a honeymoon phase in a relationship.

I’m not from the UK so some of the terms, phrases and interactions went over my head. I could piece together meanings, but it made for a choppy read. Not at all on the author, I just didn’t realize it was based in another culture.

This author kept coming up in my instragram reels with authors & people who are into books follow and I’m SO GLAD she did! I put off reading this as it’s not my current style but I notice I’m pulling away a tiny bit from my dark bully romance.
Thank goodness I did! I LOVE THIS SERIES! Mason & Nina have entered my favorite couples list and that’s saying a lot! Nina is so broken and beautiful, so hard to trust but so brave to keep trying.
Mason is just as scared but willing to put himself out there more than ever before for the right person.
These two have an uphill battle to wage war against but go after it with guns blazing. I’m so happy I’m home with COVID for once! I get to gobble up the next book in this series right away!
J.C. Hawke, you are my newest follow and instra click author. People keep saying this was your debut novel and I am freaking floored! This book was amazing and gripping from the get go. Kept me enraptured all the way through and made me fall for the characters. I laughed, she’d a tear, screamed, cheered and even felt my own chest crack a bit at times. JC made these guys REAL and want to invest in them. Cheers to an amazing start to what is obviously going to be a kick arse writing career!

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2022

See, I read Lucy and Elliott’s story first and then came back to this one because I needed to know their story. Mase and Nina have a lot of chemistry between them when it comes to the steamy scenes, but everything else between them is just a mess. Not in a bad way, just in a they need to get their stuff together kind of a way. Mase is this domineering, needs to be in control of everything including Nina, and Nina is a self reliant, doesn’t want to depend on anyone kind of girl. I love Nina. She wants to see the best in people, especially Mason, but he makes it so hard. Towards the end of the book they really start getting it together and then the unthinkable happens and now I can’t stop because I need to know how they work it out.

I was really engrossed in this story, it was so interesting and I enjoyed the chemistry between the main characters so much. Their dynamic and personality’s are really great. Masons care for Nina is so amazing and their love for one another is just on another level. I liked how Nina had her group of friends that were her family. That cliffhanger wow so good

Nina and Mason aka Pixie and Bossman.
They brought out the best and worst in each other at times but their love was beautiful.

The friendships in the book are stunning and seeing them all mix and become one big group was perfect.

There were so many WTH moments that made me want to ask Mason what he was thinking and really kept me on my toes.

The ending broke me, especially knowing Nina was pregnant. That line from Mason, wow.

JC's writing draws you in and holds you captive, you feel every emotion and you don't want to stop as you want to know what's happening.
