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.

5 stars!!
The conclusion to Reid and Sienna’s story was everything I wanted and more. We pick up right where we left off in book one. There is so much heartbreak between Sienna and Reid. I loved how Reid was willing to go to the ends of the earth to uncover the truth to Sienna and prove that he was on the right side of things!! Not only did I love the relationship between Reid and Sienna but I loved the bond/relationship between Caleb,Reid and Sienna!! This book really shows the bond between the three. The three of them always had each other���s back and their love for each other never wavered!! They were a real family to each other!!
I’m so happy how things wrapped up for Sienna and Reid and all my questions were answered!! I just love those two so much and their connection/chemistry was everything,you could really feel it!!
I’m really looking forward to Caleb’s story!! He really grew on me in this book and I can’t wait to see where he ends up!!

Well, ok then. Not where I thought this was going but what a suspense filled conclusion to this duet. Book one had all the heart and all the feels. Book 2-- definitely the overlying message is we can chose who our family is and we would do ANYTHING to keep them whole.
Major cliffie at the end of the first book. Complete Me picks up right after those events. What unfolds is an action packed who dun it with clues, confessions, and set ups. Really great twist to the romance story line. Still loved Sienna and Reid together. Loved seeing them interact more with Colby.
Overall, great ending to the duet.

I have been waiting for this book from the moment I finished Complicate Me. The moment I started reading I couldn’t stop. I DEVOURED this book in a matter of hours. I had to know what was going to happen next. I experienced every single emotion while reading this book. It was everything I wanted and so much more.
Complete Me picks up right where things left. There is so much pain and heartbreak. Sienna is heartbroken. The person she trusted, the person she fell in love with betrayed her in the worst way possible, at least it’s what she believes. Reid is heartbroken. He is lost. He is determined to make things right, to have Sienna trust him again, to help the two people who have always been his family.
I loved that this story wasn’t just about Reid and Sienna. It was Reid, Sienna and Caleb. Their bond is strong. They are truly a family. Of course, Reid and Sienna get plenty of time together and there is more to their relationship throughout. This book was just so much more.
Let’s talk about Caleb for a moment. My heart breaks for him. He’s been through so much and I can’t wait for him to get the happy ending that he truly deserves. I have a feeling that Caleb’s story will destroy me, but I already love him. Plus, the Reid/Caleb bromance. I love every single moment of it. Reid joking with Caleb about all the things he and Sienna will do added some laughs and lightness to this story.
Complete Me and Complicate Me are both MUST READS and will have you experiencing every single emotion while reading. It’s not only a story of falling for your best friends sister, but also that family is not just blood.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Complete Me is the conclusion to the Hawthorn Hills Duet and what a conclusion it was. There was anticipation, a little bit of drama, a whole lot of sizzling scenes and an unbreakable and heart-warming bond of friendship.
I have to say, I really enjoyed this book, much more than the first to be honest. I felt like I had a better understanding on Sienna’s thoughts and emotions and also, she did as well. I really liked that she was recognising and acknowledging her feelings and working through them. For me, Reid was the real highlight of this duet. His personality and traits stayed consistent throughout, and I didn’t think I could love him anymore, but I was proven wrong. He really shows how much Sienna and Caleb mean to him and how far he will go to protect them. I loved Reid and Sienna together. They truly complemented and balanced each other out and their chemistry and attraction were fantastic.
I really liked how there was an air of mystery surrounding Caleb. You don’t get to know him all too well throughout the duet, only a very vague insight to his struggles and the demons he has and is still battling. I loved Ruby in the first and the second book. I really liked her character and the almost calming effect she had on Sienna. I really cannot wait to see these two together and the dynamic they create.
There was a bit more drama that had me perking up, but I did feel like the confrontation and resolution was a bit watered down. I understand the last few chapters were the lead up to Caleb’s story, but it did feel a little dragged out also. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the overall duet and have nothing but praise for Claire Raye.

Finally, Reid and Sienna arrived in Rhode Island. But they were definitely not ready for what was waiting for them there.
This is the continuation to Reid and Sienna's story. They were in their own love bubble for the entire road trip going back to Rhode Island. However, once they arrived, everything is a total disaster. And their new relationship and longstanding friendship is on the verge of breaking.
It didn't take me long to finish this book. From when the first book ended on a cliffhanger, I've been waiting for the continuation and it didn't disappoint. Everything was a total suspense. One thing that bothered me was how Sienna lose her trust on Reid after she saw what went down with her brother. Like how can you even questioned his loyalty. I loved Reid so much, he's so patient and brave for doing what he did. In the end everything works out.
I can't wait to read Caleb's story now!

Complete Me, the conclusion to Reid and Sienna’s Hawthorn Hills duet, had a bit of everything— suspense, angst, steam, emotion, humor, romance, pain. This book touched on all the bases in the best way. I’m so happy with Reid and Sienna’s story, and I cannot wait for Caleb’s!
Picking up right where book one leaves off, Complete Me immediately packs an emotional punch of angst and heartbreak. My heart was aching not only for Reid and Sienna, but for Caleb, too. Reid‘s relationship with the Parker twins has been almost decimated, and the damage causes intolerable pain for all three of them. Suddenly the only family they’ve ever known is falling apart and none of them know how to fix it. When the characters find themselves in a delicate and dangerous situation, though, they’re reminded of just how strong their loyalties are.
Watching Reid, Sienna, and Caleb have each other’s backs throughout this story, even when tensions were at their highest, was one of my favorite things about Complete Me. Reid and Sienna are a very sexy couple and I was rooting for them from page one, but the strong friendship and familial bond that connects all three of them is a thing of beauty. Reid, Sienna, and Caleb are a true example of what a family should be— unconditional love, pure honesty, and unfailing support. I love the way these characters work together and fill in the empty spaces to build each other up.
Complete Me was a thrilling conclusion to Reid and Sienna’s story, and it perfectly sets the stage for Caleb’s story. I cannot WAIT for Caleb. He already owns my heart.

This was a fantastic conclusion to Reid and Sienna's story. It was angsty, hot, and suspenseful.
"He looks at me in a way that he's never looked at another girl, like I will always be the only girl he'll ever need."
Reid and Sienna are broken before they really had the chance to flourish. However, when things start to become clear and that they need to pull together, along with Sienna's twin brother, Caleb, a plan is hatched so all three of them could shrug off the shackles of their past and start afresh. Unfortunately, it means placing them all in more danger than they already were, but it was a risk worth taking.
"I didn't lose my family. My family is and always has been the two people in this house with me."
This second novel was really thrilling. Reid never gave up on Sienna and I loved his determination to win her back. The actions he took to ensure that they could all be free from their past was scary but gutsy. Their love and connection really melted my heart. My heart broke for poor Caleb but the three of them together were a strong, bonded unit. I adored their solidarity and their unswerving belief in each other. I'm really looking forward to Caleb's story - he deserves so much happiness in his life after the sacrifices he made and what happened to him. Can't wait!!

Sienna is still reeling from the fact that she believes that not only wasn’t Reid honest with her, but he has played some part in the events that occurred. Although Reid is hurt that Sienna doesn’t trust him, he won’t stop until he has proven to both her and Caleb, her brother and his best friend, that they are family where it really matters which is in their hearts.
In this part of the duet we get to see not only the relationship that Reid and Sienna share but the relationship between Reid and Caleb as well. They are like the three musketeers who are one for all and all for one so even though their relationship was tested it has only made the bond between them that much stronger. This story takes us on an emotional journey that not only has us invested in Sienna and Reid’s happy ever but wanting the same for Caleb.

Book 2 in this duet thankfully picks up right where we left it, I'm always happy when authors don't keep you trying to work out what's happening. Sienna heartbroken at a perceived betrayal and Reid scrambling to explain. I found this one more emotional than book one for me that one set the scene and gave the reader background knowledge whereas this one delved head on into the decisions and the ramifications for all involved. The other thing I enjoyed was this wasn't just Reid and Sienna's story but Caleb has a large role too. Claire finished this duet with just the right mix of angst mystery and drama. I have really enjoyed both books and can't wait to get a full book on Caleb.
July 23, 2020
The conclusion to Reid and Sienna’s story started right where book one left off and it was heartbreaking at times. Sienna has only one concern, her twin Caleb. Reid has only concern, getting Sienna to believe he had nothing to do with what happened and he won’t stop until she believes him. This duet was perfect with each part of it taking you on a different journey between these two waiting for them to come full circle

Reid and Sienna's story finishes up with this story.
They definitely have some work to do in order to find a way back to each other. This book takes place mostly in the town the grew up in, and they work together with Sienna's brother to find a way out of the mess Sienna and Caleb's dad left them in.
I love that Reid is not afraid to go after what he wants, and is willing to do what it takes to win the girl. I hope that we get to see a book for Caleb down the road!

5 PERFECTION STARS!! I loved this book so much. Reid and Sienna's story gave me all the feels all the way through. Their story was so beautifully written and touched every emotion button I have. This is one duet you will want to read.

I love a good brother's best friend romance and this duet did not disappoint!! The push and pull between Sienna and Reid was everything. They hated each other because they both couldn't fight their feelings. The twists and turns came out of nowhere and had me reading with my jaw open wide in shock.
Best line I've read in a book though. "Man, I f**ked your sister, and I'm going to go do it again."
Ha! I seriously laughed out loud.
I highly recommend this sexy, suspensful, raw duet!!

Review to come
July 24, 2020
This book is the closure of Reid and Sienna’s story which was opened in Complicate Me. This can not be read as a stand alone.
This book was incredible. The first part of the duet set up the main trio of characters (Reid, Sienna, and Caleb) perfectly. Complicate Me illustrated the bonds, feelings, and emotions these three discarded kids felt growing up, and how they became family. Reid and Sienna’s road trip home opened up their true romantic feelings towards one another. Then they arrived home to a horrific scene.
Complete Me picks up pretty much right where Complicate Me leaves us. Caleb is broken. Physically, Mentally and Emotionally. The twins father is dead, and not just dead, but murdered. By Reid’s dad. Where Complicate Me was a wonderfully well written book of discovering surpressed emotions, personal trust and gains, Complete Me is and absolute emotional bomb of the best kind. This book digs deep into the trio’s psyche. It drags the reader through heart ache, turmoil, regrets, betrayals, loyalties, and acceptance. This isn’t an easy read, but it is captivating to a point where you’ll finish and need to recenter yourself outside of the trio’s world.
Complete Me is focuses more on Reid’s story and feelings. While Complicate focused on Sienna’s past, the scars her childhood left her with, and her coming to terms with the woman she is now; Complete places Reid front and center. Forcing him to review who and what family is. What is right and wrong in his world. Where are his priorities and his love. Who are his true family.
Caleb has had a brotherly bond with Reid for years and while he is willing to see past what Reid’s father has done to him, Caleb lets Reid know that he is “forgiven” but the twins need space from him.
For the first time ever, Reid is alone in his mess of a world. His mother is gone, having almost completely finished her process of abandoning her son physically and emotionally. At this point he is just a necessary yet unwanted tie to her marriage. His Dad is brutal and unforgiving. There are clear cut lines in his father’s life and Reid is at the apex of needing to chose his dad’s version of life, or his own.
Sienna is written as a twisted emotional mass of chaos. She’s untethered from everything in her world and is collapsing in on herself from guilt, anger, loss and so much complex grief. Honestly, Claire Raye have written one of the most properly graphic and beautiful depictions of human suffering I have ever read. Sienna is top kick butt character writing. They weave Sienna a heart wrenching mass of grief for her father, the life that she thought she had in Providence, and the death of her trust of Reid. Then they add in the emotional toll of seeing her brother physically and mentally struggling from every thing that’s happened. Then, both twins are circling the “is Reid family or is he not” drain. Be very prepared to have a hurt heart and tears through this section of the book. It’s so difficult yet so beautifully perfect.
Caleb begins to come out from underneath the weight first. Recognizing that Reid is essentially abandoned and falling into his own pit, Caleb reaches out letting Reid know that the twins are his people. His family. Caleb admits that Sienna is stubborn, strong, and devastated. However, he lets Reid know that she will forgive him in time.
Reid then does something that clearly shouts whose family he is and where his heart is. It places all three of them in more danger than they’ve ever lived in, but if they can get through it, it will set them free. Reid breaks all their rules about who to trust and what to do. He breaks apart one family to create another. Again...this book never lets you put it down.
Sienna learns of what Reid has done in a very slap in the face way. It wakes her up to what her heart needs and what she needs to do. And then, the trio start building themselves back into their unit.
This duet is some of the most emotional and gripping writing I have read this year. I was heavily anticipating this book after reading Complicate, but I did NOT see the breadth of this story coming at me. This is being shelved in my rereads area and is going onto my most recommended reads of this year. Stunningly done.
Oh, Caleb’s story is up next. I’m ready. And waiting. Bring it on ladies.

While Complicate focused on Sienna’s past, the scars her childhood left her with, and her coming to terms with the woman she is now; Complete places Reid front and center. Forcing him to review who and what family is. What is right and wrong in his world. Where are his priorities and his love. Who are his true family.
Caleb has had a brotherly bond with Reid for years and while he is willing to see past what Reid’s father has done to him, Caleb lets Reid know that he is “forgiven” but the twins need space from him.
For the first time ever, Reid is alone in his mess of a world. His mother is gone, having almost completely finished her process of abandoning her son physically and emotionally. At this point he is just a necessary yet unwanted tie to her marriage. His Dad is brutal and unforgiving. There are clear cut lines in his father’s life and Reid is at the apex of needing to chose his dad’s version of life, or his own.
Sienna is written as a twisted emotional mass of chaos. She’s untethered from everything in her world and is collapsing in on herself from guilt, anger, loss and so much complex grief. Honestly, Claire Raye have written one of the most properly graphic and beautiful depictions of human suffering I have ever read. Sienna is top kick butt character writing. They weave Sienna a heart wrenching mass of grief for her father, the life that she thought she had in Providence, and the death of her trust of Reid. Then they add in the emotional toll of seeing her brother physically and mentally struggling from every thing that’s happened. Then, both twins are circling the “is Reid family or is he not” drain. Be very prepared to have a hurt heart and tears through this section of the book. It’s so difficult yet so beautifully perfect.
Caleb begins to come out from underneath the weight first. Recognizing that Reid is essentially abandoned and falling into his own pit, Caleb reaches out letting Reid know that the twins are his people. His family. Caleb admits that Sienna is stubborn, strong, and devastated. However, he lets Reid know that she will forgive him in time.
Reid then does something that clearly shouts whose family he is and where his heart is. It places all three of them in more danger than they’ve ever lived in, but if they can get through it, it will set them free. Reid breaks all their rules about who to trust and what to do. He breaks apart one family to create another. Again...this book never lets you put it down.
Sienna learns of what Reid has done in a very slap in the face way. It wakes her up to what her heart needs and what she needs to do. And then, the trio start building themselves back into their unit.
This duet is some of the most emotional and gripping writing I have read this year. I was heavily anticipating this book after reading Complicate, but I did NOT see the breadth of this story coming at me. This is being shelved in my rereads area and is going onto my most recommended reads of this year. Stunningly done.
Oh, Caleb’s story is up next. I’m ready. And waiting. Bring it on ladies.

Complete Me picks up right where Complicate Me left off, with Sienna and Caleb feeling betrayed by Reid, thinking he knew of his father's actions. Will Reid be able to get back the two people he loves, consider his family? Well...maybe, if he can break through the walls they've (Sienna) erected, figure out where his father is, and get them to understand how much he loves them both.
Damn, this conclusion is heartbreaking, especially for Caleb. I love how much he grew, but hated how much pain he was in. I really hope his story is coming soon. Reid and Sienna's story is complicated, emotional, but through it all, I could feel the love that never disappeared, even when Sienna was feeling so betrayed, so angry.

You guys have NO IDEA how much I've bugged Claire Raye for this book for days on end!!!! And I'll be honest and say I was NOT expecting the story to take this kind of turn after that cliffhanger at the end of Complicate Me. If you've read the first book you think you know how the story will evolve. Complicate Me was a college romance story of friends turned kinda enemies turned lovers, but Complete Me is SO MUCH MORE.
This book is an intricate story full of betrayal, heartbreak and the power that family is more than blood. It picks up right where Complicate me ended and it goes full throttle from then on and it was more than a romance novel. So much more. Where the first book was all about Reid and Sienna's relationship, Complete Me, in my opinion, was about all of them, Reid, Sienna AND Caleb. It was about the power of their friendship, about how together they're stronger and can take on anything and everything and everyone, which they did. It was about the sacrifices each one of them would make for the other. It was about how sometimes you have the weight of the world on your shoulders and you might stumble a lot but with the right people by your side to lend an unconditional hand your way, you can power through and maybe some day stand on your own two feet again.
They might all have spent 2 years apart from each other one way or another, figuratively or not, and they might all have kept secrets, big os small, from each other, but the powerful connection they created with one another when they were 5 was as powerful as ever and helped them the lives they were supposed to have.
Man, I always seem to write complete essays when it comes to Claire Raye's book, but I honestly can't recommend this duet enough and I LOVED the fact these two ladies surprised me so damn much with where they took the story that started in Compliacte me. My mind was blown away with how versatile these women are and can't wait for more of their stories. I know Caleb will break my heart and Ruby will put it back together and I can't wait for all the angst and Claire Raye's magical words.

Complete Me starts right from where Complicate Me ended. And it was a punch throw in my face. The conclusion of Reid and Sienna’s love story was epic and throw me in an amazing rollercoaster of feelings. I felt so much from anger, to angst, to love and adoration over the friendship of the trio.
We start with everyone completely broken. Reid has his world broken apart over what his dad did, without anyone who he could count on. Caleb was literally broken, body and soul and fighting to live another day. Sienna didn’t now who to trust besides her brother, and because Reid’s dad she broken up with him and cut Reid completely from her life. You know, that kind of decision that no one gets to be happy? Not Sienna, not Caleb and definitely not Reid. Everyone was miserable.
It was heartbreaking to read their road to each other again, I can honestly say it was painful and I felt too much! At the same time I was freaking upset with Sienna, she was a 100% hypocrite when she compared Reid to his dad and I was livid! And I glad that it didn’t took so long for her to see her errors and fix.
Sienna and Reid has an epic love story, one for the ages. But what it got me in this book was the connection between Reid, Caleb and Sienna. It was like they weren’t complete if they weren’t together. And it was so beautiful to read how they were there for each other and needed to support one another.
This book more than prove that family is thicker than blood and that’s what this trio were, family.
As we conclude this duet, the authors gave a good start for the next duet in the Hawthorne Hills series, which will be Caleb and Ruby’s story and I definitely can’t wait. I want to protect him at all costs and I already adore him. Also I’m glad that Ruby will be the heroine in the story because she is amazing too.

Review Time
ARC of Complete Me by Claire Raye bk #2 on Hawthorn Hills Duet.
Ratings: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Steam: 🔥🔥 2/3
WOW! let me start by saying book 2 is even better than book 1, and that is saying a lot, because the first part of Reid and Sie story was great.
Book 2 is darker, dirtier, more intense by far .... it picks up right after we found out that Caleb had been beaten to almost death, and the father murdered by a nasty cold hearted man who is a loan shark trying to collect on unpaid payments.
This man is Reid's dad.....Sienna thinks he knew about this and was keeping it a secret....she can't forgive him for this ever, and kicks him out!
Reid is broken hearted will do whatever he must to get her back, no sacrifice is to big to prove he is innocent in this whole nightmare.
He must do something in order for both Sie and Caleb to accept him back, they are his only real family...it's always been just the three of them since they were 5.
Their childhood was full of neglect and lack of love....it broke my heart as we learned more details on how their family lives really were like.
Book 2 is a maze of feelings, ups and downs, loss, lies, suspense, manipulating, guilt, learning to forgive, love, steamy chemistry, sorrow.....after all they go through, in the end Reid and Sie do find their happy place. I'm sure we will revisit with them in Caleb's Duet 😉
Caleb I wish I could just reach in and hug him!!! Can't wait for his story 💙🙌
I recommend Complicate Me and Complete Me it's a well written and entertaining story with all the feels you need in a wicked good romance.

56• Complete Me by Claire Raye
Hawthorn Hills Duet #2
Part two of Reid & Sienna book, Complete Me will be Released on the 22/07/2020!
“We have a lifetime of friendship together, years of longing and want that both of us tried to deny, but which was finally given a chance to turn in to something incredible. And now that it’s gone... the pain is fucking unbearable.”
I have been waiting for this book even since I finished complicate me. My only saving grace was that they came out only two weeks away. Complete Me picked up right where the first book left us, and took us on a journey not many will expect.
This journey includes working through Siennas feelings of betrayal and heartbreak, Reid’s Anger, Sadness and hurt and last but not least Caleb’s fear and unworthiness! This book is definitely now just about our hero and heroine, Caleb is a huge part of this gang of three. Now, whilst they are all sorting out their feeling and struggling with everything going on. It’s Reid who steps up to make a chance. As he feels he has the most to lose.
I absolutely loved this duet, and if you were waiting on part 2 to come out or if you e read part 1. Now your time to dive in, it will not disappoint! P.s I need the next duet in this series ASAP please.
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Complete Me and for that I’m very grateful.

Complete Me|Claire Raye 💙
Reid and Sienna’s story continued from Complicate Me. It was a (short) wait, but very much so worth it! After, Complicate Me ended I knew that I NEEDED its sequel asap! The Claire Raye ladies absolutely delivered with Complete Me!
Complete Me picks up right where Complicate Me left off. Complete Me had all the feels! The pain, angst, heartbreak, and steam cooked perfectly into Complete Me. Reid and Sienna face their ghosts from their turbulent past and you feel for both characters. Sienna is left with the belief that the love of her life might not be who he said he was. Reid finally had to choose between his blood family or his chosen family. Complete Me also helps introduce Sienna’s brother, Caleb. I loved that as much as it was about Reid and Sienna, it was also about the three of them. They all have something at stake in Complete Me. The true family bond they have in the book was my favorite! It reminds me that family isn’t just the one you’re give, but also your chosen family.
Complete Me was the perfect resolve to Complicate Me and it sets up for Ruin Me!
I can’t wait to read Ruin Me! I know we’ll still get more Reid and Sienna but also dive deep into Caleb’s battle scars! Because the Claire Raye ladies are queens of all the feels, I know just like the title it will Ruin Me in all the best ways!

Great Ending to a Great Duet!
I was looking forward to the conclusion of this duet and was dying to know how Reid and Sienna would overcome all of the barriers that had been put in the way of them being together... and how Caleb would fair!
This book starts off a few days after Complicate me ended - with everything a mess and a seemingly insurmountable rift between 3 friends who have been together through thick and thin! ❤️ They have all been hurt and irrevocably damages by the actions of their parents - but there seems to be no end in sight with Reid’s father still on the loose and the very real threats hanging over their heads. Although it takes them some time - they soon realise that their friendship can unite them against common enemies and that their bond truly is unbreakable! From there, it’s hooottt, it’s emotional, it’s action packed and soooo satisfying 😏
I loooove Reid’s playful nature and the way he loves Sienna, how he dedicated himself to protecting her and Caleb and sacrifices everything to ensure they’re safe. Sienna was at times frustrating - but given the situations they face and the pain she is in, you can understand how it takes her a while to reach a place where she believes in Reid. I can’t wait to read Caleb and Ruby’s story ❤️ Overall it’s a good conclusion to their story and has cemented for me that ALL these author’s books need to be on TBR 😆

One sitting. That’s all it took for me to read this book. I devoured it, I couldn’t put it down. I had to know what was going to happen with Reid and Sienna. Claire Raye, these two created such an amazing story, and I wanted so badly to take my time and savor it, but it was so amazing I couldn’t be slow.
Complete Me picks up right where Complicate Me left off. Sienna is so sure that Reid ruined her and her family’s life, she trusted him, and he broke her trust….or so she thought. Reid is determined to show Sienna that she is the love of his life and that she can trust him. He’ll stop at nothing to make things right. The question is, can Reid do it?
Claire Raye absolutely killed this book. They had me hooked from the first page, I loved every single thing about Sienna and Reid, as well as Caleb. This was such a complex story, filled with just the right amount drama, and love, but also some suspense thrown in! I also loved that we got to see more of Caleb and learn more about his relationships with Sienna and Reid. I will say, I need more of Caleb ASAP, I have a feeling he is going to wreck me! This was an amazing conclusion to the Hawthorn Hills Duet, and I can’t wait to see what these two do next!

This duet has been such a pleasure to read and I thoroughly enjoyed the pace of these compared to what I have been reading.
.
This book picks up right where it left off in complicate me with the betrayal sienna feels at assuming Reid knew about his father all along. There’s so much pain and heartache in this book that I had to put it down and take a breather, this book took hold of my emotions and would not let it go. I couldn’t help but feel for the characters but also marvel at how far they came. Every single character had an impact in this story, “side characters” felt more like main characters and we were on their journey as much as sienna and Reid’s.
.
Even among all the anger and pain and betrayal, there’s no denying the love these characters have. This book, albeit, emotional, unraveled in the best of ways. Definitely an outstanding way to end a duet.
.
I’m amazed with this book. It’s definitely not what I expected when I first started complicate me but the deeper I got the more the story wouldn’t let me go and that’s what I love about books. The world build of this will have you fully immersed and completely captivated. The plot is a work of art, the deeper you go the more delicate the story feels. I’m not even sure if that makes sense but that’s the best way I can describe it.
.
I’ve truly enjoyed the experience in reading these books. Claire has done an amazing job.

Complete Me is book two in the Hawthorn Hills diet and is the epic conclusion to Reid and Sienna. It picks up right where Complicate Me ended and just like that first book, it had me hooked right from the start.
My emotions were in serious overdrive with this one people!! My heart broke for Caleb. Gahhhh I cannot wait for his book with Ruby! But I can already tell it’s going to be a roller coaster ride of emotions!
I love Sienna and Reid but I have to admit, Sienna did annoy me a little in this book. Both her and Caleb have been close with Reid for so long. They know him. Why she thought he had any knowledge of what had happened was beyond me. And the fact that she kept blaming him for what his father did! Well, it frustrated the hell out of me. But Reid, sigh, I love him.
What did I love most about this book? Yes, it was about Sienna and Reid but it was also about Sienna, Reid AND Caleb. They had such an incredibly bond and it honestly is what made this book as great as it was.
I cannot wait to see what is coming next ❤️

This is the second book in this series. This is the second part about Reid and Sienna. It picks up where the first one left off. Reid and Sienna got together in the first one on a road trip back home after Sienna's father died. They found Sienna's brother when they got back into town. He was attacked. This one starts when everyone is at the cemetery. Sienna will not give Reid the time of day. She feels that he is to blame for everything that has happened. Reid takes matters into his own hands and does what he needs to, to figure out the truth about what has happened. But he up putting his life at risk. I absolutely loved what he does to not only save himself but his relationship with Sienna and her brother. This was a very well written story. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Sienna and Reid. No matter what happens you can easily see that these two belong together and deserve happiness. I cant wait to get Caleb's story. He has quite the story to tell. A great duet for these two. Highly recommend this duet about Reid and Sienna.

Complete Me by Claire Raye was a wonderful conclusion to the Hawthorn Hills Duet.
I knew that I was going to love this novel, but I was not expecting to devour it as quickly as I did. I read this book in one sitting, and enjoyed every single second of it.
I loved that the novel picked right back up where the first one left off. It was the perfect transition over, and continuation of the storyline.
I felt the emotion pouring out of these pages. It was a highly emotional read, when you were looking at the complex, and complicated relationship of Reid and Sienna. Their relationship has gone through so much, that it is unexplainable. Due to all of these complications, you wouldn't think that they would be the perfect pair, and yet, they fit together perfectly.
I definitely enjoyed this duet, and I cannot wait to read more books from Claire Raye in the future. If they are anything like this duet, they are sure to be enjoyable.
4/5 Stars!
