Brody Hines laid on the cot in the eight by ten jail cell thinking about his next move. He had been through hell trying to keep his vow to Emma. He was dragged back to a world he had fled several years ago. A world that gave new meaning to the phrase “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.”

Brody’s desire to be the man he knew he could be for her. The one buried beneath his own armor. He fell in love with a beautiful woman, both inside and out. He could trust her fully, but his need to protect her innocence, one of the hundreds of reasons he loved her, only brought more pain, fear, and danger into her life.

This is book 3 in The Brody Hines series and should be read in order. Brody is married to his beautiful and strong wife Emma! They have two adorable daughters and a son Brody unknowingly had.
This book finds Brody rescued from captivity, he was drugged and abused and sadly forgot his family. Emma is a strong willed and resilient she never gave up on Brody, she helped him remember. They will face danger and suspense from the people behind the human traffickers. Their love ❤️ is so strong, so powerful together they are a force to be reckoned with.
I was so wrapped up in this series from Book 1 I’m sad this captivating and addictive series is ended! It’s such a page turner filled with action, suspense and so much happens to them but they kick butters a team, a powerful love story! Such an absolute must read from book 1 to this one.

I was pulled into the Hines/Abraham/Links connected book by starting at the end...London and Logan's book. So when I finished that I had to go back to where Emma and Brody got together. I had to understand this family and how they all became so tight.

I had a challenge with the author's writing style, the storylines that seemed to get more far-fetched and the character development. But I will say the author is an evil genius because I devoured these books despite. She managed to get me invested in the characters where I cared more about what was happening next to them than the issues I had with the writing in general.

Brody and Emma can be sexy, but their sexy times were often trumped by Brody's overwhelming need to be an Alpha male ass and for Emma to cry and blow up about everything. But somehow they worked together, even when they weren't.

This is an honest review for an arc received.

What an epic conclusion to a thrilling series. Book 3 picks up right where book 2 left off.

“Your voice … your words … seduce my very essence, music man.”

Brody is still searching for the threats to his family. Emma is trying to keep her family together and whole. The kids are still adjusting, but the instant love between them will warm your heart.

“I bring you three hearts to combine with ours, Emma.”

5 swoon-worthy stars!! There are so many twists and turns, tragedies, happiness, hope and love in this book. You will feel every range of emotions. The growth that they all have is amazing. This book brings life through heartache, pain, hope, happiness, and love. You just have to want to find it.

When will enough be enough? This duo and their amazing children have been put through the proverbial ringer... Again and again and again. Always coming out knocked down, but stronger as a whole and even more in love. While I feel that several questions or answered, they left questions up in the air even after.

Author brings in Maddox POV chapters highlighting his thoughts and growth as he comes to terms with being in a family and as a teenager with everything that's packed with lol

Author teased Stained, a Maddox spin-off, with Harper and maybe Ava. Wondering if there may be another for Zach and also Bobby? See, lots of intertwined storylines to include from the Blue Valley series 💕 Can't wait to see/read with the author brings us next ❣️

HOLY HOTNESS!!! Wrapped in Us is the last book
re-write of Mj's Wrapped series & i needed an ice bath after reading this! It's a story of 2nd chances at love & what true love should look & feel like. However, it is so much more!! Mj writes it in 1st person pov which allows us into Brody's & Maddox's mind a lot more. It gives us exactly what we've all wanted....to be apart of the story in a personal way. The feels, passion, love & anger that we get to be apart of made me fall for these characters in a way i never expected! I love Maddox! He has been my #1 in all the books ive ever read... but getting a glimpse into his head gahhhh im lost for words. Once again Mj over did herself & i can not wait to read this series again & again!!

A perfect ending to a series. The pain and suffering this family of 5 has gone through is heartbreaking. Love and forgiveness has gotten them through. They relied on each other. They were honest and forthcoming with each other even if the truth hurt. They trusted each other. Although some were not family to each other by blood their bonds were even stronger. As with all of MJ Fields’ books they grab you from the first word until the very last. An absolute incredible read that will have you crying tears of sadness and so many tears of happiness. Brody, Emma, Maddox, London, and Lexington have been through hell and back and have come out stronger than ever. Their bond is a strong as steel and never will be broken.

The love in this book made me want to gag many times. It was over done. I loved the thrill and suspense of the book, but the lovey dovey crap was so over done that it made the book seem cheesy and way too far fetched. It would have been better without the 10000 declarations of love or the always abs forever crap.
And let's not get started on the unrealistic sex scenes. No one can have sex that much without some bodily soreness and the constant want of her to give him blow jobs was just dumb.in my opinion. I'm happily married and love my husband but my god the amount she had him in her mouth or something was unrealistic.

4 Star Review Wrapped In Us (Brody Hines #3) by M.J. Fields

Firstly if you haven’t read the first two books in this series, STOP as they must be read in order. Brody Hines is back where he belongs, with Emma and his family but having been through so much I feared that he would not be able to re connect with those he loves.

However their connection is deep and having been tested almost beyond endurance their bond is still strong. This is a roller coaster of a read and as the danger and suspense builds I was on the edge of my seat.

The final book in the series brought the story to a close and in the main wrapped everything up nicely.

Wrapped in Us is the 3rd and final book in the Brody Hines series. The story continues right where book 2 left off and we are again taken on quite a journey with Brody and Emma. This novel was angsty, emotional, intense, and like the previous two books alot happened in the story. Expect to be taken on a roller coaster ride with all the twists and turns, drama, danger and suspense. Brody and Emma went through so much but were able to come out on the other side stronger and still in love. This story wraps up the trilogy with all questions being answered. It was a satisfying conclusion to the series and I would recommend it.

The conclusion of this trilogy reads like thriller/romance novel and it is well worth the wait! Through all the trials and complications, the reader can only hope their love and emotional strength will help them win. I loved this trilogy and would highly recommend it! Thank you, M J Fields for such a delightfully thrilling story! Brody and Emma, always and forever!

Thank you for providing me with an advanced copy!

I have loved these books! I love the family in these books. I was sad when I picked up book three because I did not want to see them leave. I hope we hear more from this family in the future :)

I will admit that the writing is choppy, but the story is truly amazing! Please pick up these books and read about the Hines family! I know you will fall in love with Emma and Brody!!

I love Brody,Emma & their family they are strong, supportive and loving. All the loose ends were tied up, I had my suspicions about one of the characters but can honestly say didn't see the other one coming. Drawer 3 was soooo unexpected. Looking forward to Maddox and Harpers story. Brilliant trilogy.

Love after Trauma

Brody tells Emma he has to stop the human trafficking by leaving again for a little while. He found out not only was his sister involved, but his uncle was also. He has to end the threat by getting ride of the evil. After they figure out the crime scene, they had their family together again.

Great series with a lot of emotions, angst and romance. The characters you meet take you on an unforgettable experience that'll linger with you long after the pages are done turning. MJ Fields is master at what she does.

I recommend this book.

Worth reading again and again

There are few books that I wait to read this was 1 of them.The reason being I knew that it would pull at every emotion I have and I was right. I was brought to the highest with the love involved in the family Brody and Emma had created. And then to the lowest with the ordeals and trials they went through to get there. I will go back and read this book again and again as it becomes a treasured memory.

Sad

This is a hard book to get through. I hate when the B ch is the one to give the guy a son when the girl, in this case, Emma,is unable. I can write 3 books off my head that have the same story line. In this case she is the sister of Emma which makes it worse. The thing that bothers me is the drugs don't act like its described but the fact is he gave in to everything after he got wounded the last time he escaped, but you have no idea how he got there. Also if its as traumatic as written regular sex would make triggers. Also why is he hanging out with her sister and ex. None of his point of view there it just is Emma's so you don't know what's going on with him and the times he is thinking its so brief that it gives you nothing. The story of Jenna was never told. If Lila was such a good friend of Emma's she would have told her what was going on but she literally disappears instead of being with her friend in the hard parts. Also the fact that Brody says he stayed willingly after his last attempt to run shows he gave in. But it doesn't make sense that he did all the sex the was described as no guy can last that long. Also if he loved Emma why would he stay away so long. How was he taken? Why was he alone? Where was Henry? When was Elizabeth let go? He has sex with her again before she appeared to her father. Also why did Lila let those women in her apartment? She would have known he was being drugged also he would know if he wad having sex with them so he actually allowed them to be alone with them. Roofies don't work the way on guys like women and its like they are drunk and loose the ability to move. They pass out. So to use that on a guy is really dumb as he just lays there and only can have sex with stimulation. They do know they had sex but no memory of the act. There are 3 drugs that can do this. Guess I'm just disappointed in his actions on the tapes. Also if he gave in to them and remembered the sex he remembered everything that went on. He admits to it . I would have been interested in Alexandra's story and the truth about his actions with her because it infered a close connection but it tells nothing and yet it shows him fully functional on the tapes. His behaviour was a sign the drugs were still in his system and he played into Elizabeth's hands. I feel he was not a strong willed individual because he stays so long there. The story given to him why he was there is dumb and unbelievable. What guys would send you in to be beaten and abused. He claims he forgot her but yet he remembers so much . His love for Emma is disappointing but his return is weird if he asked for his release and then wanted to be returned to them when found and he called James. Who ever he is. I don't really care for all the sex in here with Emma, but you don't show him when he is with the other women .So putting in his point of view would have been better if it revealed what was going on with him and rounded out the story.

Hmmm... od czego by tutaj zacząć. Zacznę od samego początku:)
Sięgnęłam po tą serię przeczytawszy uprzednio tylko i wyłącznie ogólną recenzję pierwszego tomu. Opis sugerował lekki romans dojrzałej kobiety z młodszym muzykiem rockowym. Temat troszkę oklepany. Schemat dobrze znany ona skromna, odpowiedzialna, bojąca się zaangażować a On młody muzyk, świat dopiero co otworzył dla niego drzwi do sukcesu, wywiady, koncerty, imprezy, narkotyki.
Pomimo tego mojego wyobrażenia sięgnęłam po tą serię.
I dzisiaj z perspektywy czasu uważam, ze podjęłam właściwą decyzję gdyż Seria Wrapped okazała się REWELACYJNA i jakże inna od mojego wyobrażenia.

Tak jak ja byłam zaskoczona rozwojem fabuły w tej serii tak nie chciałabym opowiadać co się w niej znajduje. Życzyłabym sobie abyście również mieli okazję i możliwość przeżycia takich emocji, jakie ja przeżywałam.
Na pewno seria jest obfita w wydarzenia i emocje. Na jednej szli znajduzje się miłość, przyjażń, rodzina, niewinność a na drugiej to co najgorsze czyli, uprowadzenie, molestowanie, ogromna intryga, agresja, szantaż a nawet śmierć. Jak myślicie co zwycięży?

Doświadczenia przeżywane przez głównych bohaterów, niesprawiedliwość losu, krzywda wyrządzona przez nie wiadomo kogo, brak zaufania, nie jednego z Nas pokonałoby. Ja sama niejednokrotnie czytając tą serię traciłam nadzieję na lepsze.

Ogromna miłość pokazana w tej serii jest jedynym ukojeniam dla głównych bohaterów i dla Nas samych czytelników. Ale czy tylko miłością człowiek może oddychać, żyjąc w izolacji, uciekając od brutalnego świata?

Jestem pod ogromnym wrażeniem Serii jako całości. Inteligentnym i stanowczym dozowaniem napięcia oraz budowaniem przeróżnych emocji. W tej serii znalazłam to wszystko co lubię.
Koniecznie musicie to przeczytać !!!!

Jeśli chodzi o Wrapped Always and Forever jest to ostatnia część tej serii. Nie brakuje w niej dosłownie niczego. Płakałm, śmiałam się, złościłąm się, miałam nadzieję na lepsze. Mnóstwo wydarzeń powoli odkrywających wszystkie tajemnice. Ponownie zaskoczyła mnie i to niejednokrotnie. Z niedowierzaniem czytałam kolejne rozwiązywane tajemnice. I powiem tylko tyle, SZOK z jakich powodów wszystkie te wydarzenia miały miejsce.

Wrapped in Us KU / $3.99 394 pgs **** 11/10/22 Brody & Emma

This, the final book, starts off with a blast just as the last one ended. We find out so much more about how Maddox was raised by his foster parents, and it will literally piss you off, it did me. He is such a sweet, kind, immature boy of 15, it breaks my heart that he endured all he did in his short young life. The family is working so hard to show him how love is supposed to be and how rules he has ingrained in his head are not rules that loving families have. Still no clue who is trying to kill everyone but digging around in family histories etc, there was a little surprise in that. Again, they travel a few times just to get safe after another threat comes at them but they all seem fine with it, how I don’t know but they are more grounded than me, I suppose. I do think they all need therapy from everything they’ve lived through their entire lives, even before they were together. After all the trauma and turmoil that is their life, things start to settle down and they really try to be a normal family. Again, I can’t give out too much or it would totally ruin the book for you. I love this series, the length of each book, everything about it except there was no rock n roll anywhere in the entire series. We were just told that Brody was a rock star, no proof, no band to meet, no tours, just nothing. That was quite a disappointment for me and the reason for most of the 4 star ratings instead of 5’s. On to read the next book about Maddox.

This was a great conclusion too the Wrapped Series. I did pretty good of who was behind all hideous things going on with the Hines family. I like how M.J. Fields is able to bring things to life in a believable matter. I could almost feel the anguish everyone was feeling about loss and abuse they had gone through. M.J. Fields wrote a good mystery with lots of suspense, intrigue and struggles to figure out who is behind it. There is also a love story between Emma and Brody with struggles of not shutting each. My favorite part is the love of family on both Emma and Brody's part. There is lots of hot, steamy and raw sex. I enjoyed this series and can't wait to see where Burning Souls Series goes. My biggest complaint is these stories are not fast moving and I'm not sure why. I felt like sometimes the same thing was repeated over and over again, but I was still entertained by the series.

Brody and Emma have fought their way back to each other and now fight to keep their entire family together while also trying to find who is behind all the deaths and pain. They find traitors in people they were supposed to be able to trust and others hoodwinked into thinking they were doing good. Through it all, they are parenting their children and taking care of each other. They are doing their best to take care of Maddox and London’s needs after so much trauma. London is such an important part of Maddox adjusting. Tessa, Collin, and Harper are also a very important part of the story.This book is a great conclusion to this part of the family’s story.

I received a free copy of this book.

The final in the trilogy of Brody Hines, sees us pick up where Wrapped in Armour left us and seriously OMG can Brody and Emma go through any more?! It’s amazing they are still sane!

Emma is the epitome of what I call a STRONG woman, she has had more than her fair share of bad luck, trauma and heartache thrown at her, but she just keeps on going, thanks to those kiddies of her who make her even stronger!

Brody needs to get answers to move on and thus epic finale to this series makes me love him more.

Very few authors are able to suck me into their created worlds like you do MJ, I laughed, I cried, I thought I couldn’t take any more and if I could give more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you’d get them!

I have one very big question. There is the chance I may have just missed it but: what happened with Lila?!? She told Emma she and her fiancé were expecting and then nothing? She still appeared in the story, albeit in a much smaller role, but it isn’t mentioned again. What happened to Lila’s baby?!? Why did she and Emma drift apart when she played such a pivotal role in the first two books?? Given the ‘gift’ from Ariel could have drive. A wedge between them, but Lila’s role deviated much earlier in the story than that occurred! I’m confused!

Otherwise the story was wonderful! I adored getting to see pieces of Maddox and Harper’s story and am thrilled to get to continue his journey in Stained!

4.5 Stars for Wrapped in Us ( The Brody Hines Series Book 3)
If you haven’t read the first two books in this series please do not start Wrapped in Us!!!!
This is the final I stain Brody Hines and Emma’s emotional journey, this couple have been through so much and at times I doubted they would ever find their HEA but now Brody is back where he belongs with the love of his life and surrounded by his family but with everything he has been through he is struggling to connect with the people who mean the most to him.
Wrapped in Us really Wraps this trilogy up but it’s not without some twists and turns, some suspense to keep you in the edge of your seat and plenty of heartbreaking and heartwarming moments.

MJ Fields continues to get better and better as she develops characters that you love .. even some that you love to hate. The passion that she writes with clearly shines through as she develops a story with vivid detail. Her ability to focus on the main characters while developing other characters that will lead to spin-off books is unbelievably strong! I continue to be in awe of her writing and style. With Brody and Emma, she's given us passion, sex, heat, love, mystery, suspense, action and oh so much more. While her book is fiction there's always points in the story that everyone can relate to which is another reason why I love her work!
