Evolution of the Social Contract

The Lockean Theory of Rights

Governing a Republic: Rousseau’s General Will and the Problem of Government (This is a short essay)

I could give critiques of these books too, but I assume you'll look for the critiques as I did when you finish.

I think you would be perfectly consistent insofar as Locke's reasoning for entering the civil society mirrors Hobbe's. That means, people enter into the state of nature in order to protect themselves through collective means, and to resolve disputes through judges who both parties see as legitimate. Locke does have a unique account of property rights (Look for a book by AJ Simmons if you want more on this) but property is not what specifically motivates the move to a civil society (although it does play some role.)

Simply, there is no real difference between Hobbes and Locke's account of how the civil state emerges.
