Reviews of books one and two in the Ties of Steel series by M.J. Fields



Blurb

Twenty-six-year-old Abraham O’Donnell is the CFO of Steel Inc. After working tirelessly for over a year, he takes a week off to enjoy the sand, surf, and bikini-clad women of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After all, he's earned it.

When a brief interlude with a flight attendant in her hotel room goes awry, Abe heads to a rental home with a private beach. While floating naked in the pool, he learns a guest house on the property is also occupied. So much for rest and relaxation. Ever the gentleman, Abe tries to make the most of his misfortune, and offers to make the beauties staying on the property some dinner.

It's senior year and Nikolette (Nikki) Bassett is a few days late for her last college Spring Break with her four best girlfriends. When she arrives, all these ladies can talk about is the guy next door. And once Nikki gets a look at him, she knows what they mean. Fresh from an afternoon of surfing, Nikki can hardly believe her eyes when Abe approaches. The sexual tension and banter between the two of them leads to steamy hot sex on the Atlantic shore.

It's only a Spring Break fling, and both Abe and Nikki know better than to make it out to be more than that. Or do they? Abe’s calm demeanor changes once he has a taste of Nikki. That night, no location is safe. He takes her on the beach and ravages her in his bed. But despite their mind-blowing sex, Abe's taste for ultimate control in the bedroom makes Nikki uneasy. Nikki's just getting over a heartbreak and she can't afford to let Abe in. So, she pushes aside her budding feelings, and leaves Florida and Abe behind without a backwards glance.

Not used to being dumped and afraid to admit how much it hurts, Abe cuts his loses and heads back to Steel Inc., resume his role at the top of Steel Inc., pouring his heart and soul into his work. But Nikki Moore won't be forgotten so easily. Her taste, scent, voice, the noises she made when he brought her to ecstasy, the way she tasted on his tongue, and felt under his touch haunts him. Always fighting for control, Abe tries to push Nikki far into the back of his mind, as he fucks the rented women he had grown accustom to.

But Karma is a bitch, and Abe blames her for Nikki leaving him the way she did. So when Nikki shows up unexpectedly, Abe welcomes Karma with open arms. Control has left the building and safety of one's heart is no longer strong enough to stop what happens next.

Abe, is the first in the Ties of Steel series from bestselling erotica author MJ Fields. It is a spin-off of the bestselling Men of Steel series featuring the Steel brothers: Jase, Cyrus, Zandor and Xavier.

Blurb:

The Italian, seductive, quiet alpha, Dominic Segretti, is leaving Livorno, Italy and headed for the Jersey Shore.

His family's business is in danger of crumbling under the management of a man who tormented and grossly underestimated his investment in a business he grew up loving, and the hatred of a man who made his life hell for thirteen years.

He has been quietly waiting for the right moment to bring Benito Deluca to his knees. He comes to the US, armed with enough evidence to prove his case to, Josephine Steel, his aunt, and his cousins, Cyrus, Jase, Zandor, and Xavier.

The night before he plans to tell them of the corruption that could cause the demise of DeLuca INC, he decides to take a night to de-stress. He plans a night of relaxation and enjoyment for himself at the Hilton Casino on the shore.

Delaney Johnson is starting over after a break-up and graduating college. She has landed the job of her dreams in NYC. Arrangements had been made to stay with her best friend, Nikki Bassett, and her fiancé', Abe O'Donnell.

Feeling that her luck has suddenly changed, she stops to play a few slots, just for fun. She finds herself winning big, and gains an admirer.

One hot night of uninhibited sex with a stranger takes her places she never knew she could go.

Dominic sees something in her, something familiar, something undeniable. Will this one hot night turn into many, or will the Beast's plans crush any hope of them exploring their future?

Ties of Steel, #3

M.J. Fields

Releasing: April 5, 2015

Blurb:

The mere mention of the name Salvatore Efisto, a notorious crime boss in the Sicilian Mafia, was enough to make any man seek their quickest escape. When his body washes up on the Jersey shore, there is one suspect who the authorities will stop at nothing to find.

Raised and reared in the Cosa Nostra, Sabato Efisto has seen crime, chaos and destruction his entire life. When he fell in love, his heart beat for the first time. However, his father made sure that the young prodigy he was creating, was no longer distracted.

Sabato took refuge in clubs, sex and control. His connection with women on an emotional level was a luxury he could not and would not allow himself.

Valentina Segretti helps him hide from those searching for him. The sexual tension between them boils until finally it explodes into page scorching sexual… scenes.

Melyssa, a friend of Valentina’s, returns to Jersey and finds him in hiding. As a law student she offers advice to Sabato. The attraction between them is much different than his to Valentina.

Two women, who could not be any more different from each other, and one man, who is literally fighting for a life he never knew he could dream of having.

Will he choose one, or will he return to Italy as head of the Sicilian Mafia.

MJ Fields's love of writing was in full swing by age eight. Together with her cousins, she wrote a newsletter for family members. The newsletter was put back into 'publication' in September of 2001 for the entertainment of her cousin on a Navy aircraft carrier in the gulf, (Her cousin is a female Navy officer and helicopter pilot).

She self-published her first New Adult romance in January 18, 2013. Today, she has completed four self-published series, The Love series, The Wrapped series, The Burning Souls series, and The Men of Steel series.

Ties of Steel, (the first series spun off of some the Men of Steel series) book 1 ABE and book 2 Dominic are now available. The Norfolk series, has two titles available now, Irons 1 and Irons 2.

MJ is an Amazon bestselling author in multiple categories as well as all of Amazon as a whole. She lives in central New York, surrounded by family and friends. Her house is full of pets, friends, and noise ninety percent of the time, and she would have it no other way.

 
My Thoughts:

I read both book one and two. :-) Abe: Four In Hand stars Abe a rich CEO with particular tastes women, a need for control and secrecy, no relationships and a need for a long overdue vacation.

While on vacation he meets our leading lady aka four. I won't tell you how she came to be known as four. I found it to be quite humorous and I don't want to spoil it for you.;-)

It appears that they will never see each other again after their vacations as they don't exchange names. Fate has other plans though!

All I will say is poor Abe. Huh! Actually it is Nikki that I feel bad for as Abe is NOT very nice to her when they meet again.

This book was extremely hot, sexy, funny, full of dominating, possessive men and sassy women, some danger and action. I LOVED it.

I recommend it whole heartedly!

Dominic: The Prince, book 2, was extremely hot too. ;-) There was more danger and action but I didn't like it as well as book 1. 

Dominic seemed to be more arrogant and controlling. At times this really got on my nerves. I didn't like the double standards that he seemed to have where a certain despicable female was concerned.

Laney is a friend of Nikki's and we met her in book one. I liked her a lot. I didn't totally understand her thought process where guys were concerned but they may have made her more compelling.

The chemistry between these two was intense and instantaneous.  I am talking about scorching proportions!

These books could be read out of order but I suggest reading them the way they were written. It also helps that I liked book one the best so far. :-) I recommend both books though

I received ecopies of both books in exchange for my honest opinion. These are hot, adult only reads. I thought book one was fantastic and book two was pretty good as well. I can not wait to read Sabato.
