The Men of Steel series continues to steal my breath away.

MJ did it again - Xavier stepped off the pages and right into my heart. The youngest of the Steel men is feeling like the family has had too much togetherness. Xavier talks Momma Joe and the other brothers into letting him come back to the states. They've been in Italy for a few months now and he's tired of waiting to make something of himself. As much as he loves his niece Bella, he needs more than playing Barbie's to occupy his days.

Music is Xavier's thing so it is natural he starts a production company; he's got to scout for talent, get them signed up on his label and make them stars. Momma Joe hires Taelyn to be Xavier's assistant. Taelyn seems like she is a good choice of an assistant for a man who has women throwing themselves at him left and right. Taelyn is almost finished with college, she's a hard worker, a very studious type and she has a boyfriend.

Taelyn is all business when dealing with Xavier, on the outside anyway; on the inside Taelyn is feeling the effects of constant physical attraction she has to Xavier. Xavier has had his eye on Taelyn since the moment they met. His dealings with her are fraught with innuendo and flirty banter. He's waiting in the wings when Taelyn's boyfriend, Daniel messes up. Xavier steps in to save the day and so begins the courtship.

Even though Taelyn no longer has a boyfriend, she doesn't jump into Xavier's arms right off the bat. She makes him work for it. Her biggest problem with him is that he is too much like her father and brothers - domineering, cocky, to name a few. Xavier has his work cut out for him. The has quite the battle to convince Taelyn and her family that is a one-woman kind of guy.

The rollercoaster ride that MJ takes you on is well worth it. Xavier is one of the most engrossing books I have read; once I started reading, I didn't want to put it down. MJ did a great job keeping me entertained and it was well balanced with any violence that occurs in the book.

The Men on Steel series is a must-have collection for all book lovers!

Meet the Author:

MJ Fields had no clue what she was getting into when she began the journey of writing. She say's, "I still don't--but I like it!"

Her imagination became apparent at age three. Sigma was her very first (imaginary) boyfriend. He lived about fifteen miles from her family's farm. She took him chicken noodle soup every night on one of their snowmobiles.(Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring). Apparently he was very ill and "Thank God" she was able to take care of him.

At eight her love for writing blossomed. Together with her cousins (of course she was the president) they wrote a newsletter and sold it to their family members.

Years later she decided to put it back into print to entertain her cousin as she was on an aircraft carrier on 9/11, very far away from home during a scary time for our country.

Fast forward to 2012. She read 50 Shades and thought, 'I wanna do that!' (meaning writing).

She has two complete series, The Love Series and Wrapped. There are also two new series Burning Souls and Men of Steel that are as of now not complete. Thirteen books in sixteen months. CrAzY and wonderful.

She loves love!

Her Mom raised her right. She says please and thank you and means it. She expects the same out of her child. 'It's the right thing to do.'

Her mother taught her to take care of herself and others. 'I don't like leaving the house without mascara even if I'm in an oversized hoody and warm up pants.'

Her Dad taught her how to work hard and never expect to be handed anything. She likes to work and doesn't mind getting dirty.

Both taught her to be respectful and the importance of doing the right thing regardless of what people around her do. They taught her about the importance of family and that it didn't always just include blood relatives. They also tried to teach her how to keep my thoughts to myself...she is still working on that.

MJ tends to enjoy watching people grow and change with self realization and moments of clarity that just sneak up behind you and smack you in the head.

She loves people and has always been able to see both sides of a story. 'Each person that comes into our life leaves us with something it is what we choose to do with it that helps us grow.'

She lives in central New York in the middle of nowhere and is surrounded by family and friend most the time. She ran a small business out of her home and has recently closed her door to pursue this dream full time. She spends time writing and doing the typical Mommy things. Her house is full of pets, friends, and noise ninety percent of the time, and she would have it no other way.

When he meets beautiful and sexy Tara, he is smitten immediately. He begins to peruse her for a good time, but as he discovers Tara's situation, his alpha male protective instinct kicks into overdrive.
Tara is child of the foster care system that can't remember ever being loved and feeling safe. She is being mistreated, tricked and exploited by her boyfriend, Tony. A man who just wishes to possess and use her. Cyrus saves Tara from Tony and the riffraff he is involved with, giving her asylum at his home as he generously works things out for her.

Zandor Steel had spent the better part of the past year in Italy helping to oversee the building of a posh casino resort. A playground for the rich and famous.
After hearing about what had been going on at home, he knew he must return to help his brothers remember who they were. Jase and Cyrus the oldest of the Steel brothers had been his mentors. They taught him to never get attached, and to know the difference between physical needs and the heart. Now he was racing home in hopes that he could stop yet another one of his brothers from making a mistake. Little did he know he was going to come face to face with a beautiful Southern Bell, Bekah George, who would challenge everything he thought he desired.
Zandor knew his expectations in the bedroom were not for the faint of heart. He had spent a year living out his sexual fantasies. As he gets to know Bekah, he sees in her the same raw untamed heat that burned within him. But this strong, sexual, woman he is falling for turns out to be a bit broken. He needs to decide if he wants to go back to the lifestyle he had been enjoying, or if he has he fallen too deep?
