Unveiled Wounds
The first time, they burned hot and forgot the rest—but the second, they’re fighting to get through the wreckage together.
Meredith
I’ve always dreamed of a fairytale romance, but the first time around, I kiss a troll, running straight into Grizz. He’s the first man I feel free with, but we don’t get to ride off into the sunset. Betrayed by the man I was supposed to marry, mourning a child I’ll never hold, and marked by a brutal escape—I carry the scars of a life shattered beyond recognition. I beg Grizz to release me, but he refuses to let go, making me reconsider my picture of love. Maybe my prince charming does wear leather.
Grizz
Meredith’s always been a brat, but all I can picture is being her groom. In sickness and in health, the weight of our past threatens to pull us under. Breaking the surface feels a long way off, but I’ll do whatever it takes to help her heal. Letting her go? That’s not an option. She’s mine.
Unveiled Wounds is the third book in a gritty, emotionally charged, interconnected motorcycle club series featuring the Iron Shield MC. It features a second chance romance with a surprise baby between a strong heroine and the possessive alpha hero who refuses to let her walk away.

I have loved Meredith and Grizz since the very beginning and have been routing for them, especially Meredith.
I thoroughly devoured the first 70% of this book. Loved their relationship growth and chemistry together.
It took me so long to finish the last 30%, I really struggled.
I wish the club had had that proper come to Jesus realisation that Meredith was kick ass and they were dicks to her. I just found it abit strange after the big moment that she wanted to go round giving them all drinks which is a total UNMeredith thing to do and she was such a strong character that I couldn’t see her doing something like that.
Gahhh it broke my heart when she was willing to move to a house and hide out so the club wouldn’t have to deal with her, yes she definitely deserved a better and bigger apology.
The scars reveal could have been handled a little better, I felt like it became sexualised and then about Grace.
3.5 stars, just felt like Meredith needed more.

Grizz and Meredith
We are back with the Iron Shield MC and if you want a redemption story after what Meredith was dealing with and the man who stands by her this is the book for you. I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster ride with Grizz and Meredith’s story. This book had it all and I’m looking forward to more to come from this author.

3.5⭐️rounded up. Unfortunately I didn’t realize this was a series when I got the arc. With that said I still had fun time, it had emotion, twists, action and spice!
Thank you to the author and grey’s promotions for this arc.

J. Wine delivers a raw, emotional powerhouse in Unveiled Wounds, a gripping second, chance romance that dives deep into pain, healing, and unconditional love. This was my first time reading this author and it absolutely won’t be my last.
Meredith and Grizz’s story is intense, heartbreaking, and beautifully redemptive. With scarred pasts and undeniable chemistry, they fight through to reclaim love on their own terms. Though this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend diving into the full series to fully experience the layered, immersive world J. Wine has crafted.
If you’re looking for an emotional ride that balances grit with tenderness, add Unveiled Wounds to your TBR today.

If you’re in the mood for a second chance MC romance with a strong yet misunderstood female lead than this is the book for you. I received an advanced reader copy of this book for free from Grey’s Promotions and I am leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts are my own.
This was not your typical MC romance. Yes it’s gritty, with plenty of action, intrigue and spice, but there are some heavy hitting emotional topics that are also covered and in a spectacular fashion that I truly was not expecting.
Meredith and Grizz have a different and intense dynamic between them. Their heat is undeniable but underneath that is a much more complex relationship that really was amazing. I loved that they struggled separately, but together, which I know sounds weird but they really balanced each other out. Neither was “perfect” by any means but then who truly is. I also loved that Meredith could be strong and sassy, yet soft. She was supported by Grizz, who was also strong but with a soft core.
My favorite line: “I had to wade through the pain and the heartache to be a better person.” That to me summed up the book perfectly.
Now it’s not all heavy drama, like I said there is plenty of spice between these two and some interesting interactions between other characters in the series, but I liked the fact that there was an actual plot line with the leads and not just bedroom scenes.
This is the third book in the Iron Shields MC romance and the author highly recommends reading the series in order and I actually agree. To be honest I did not read that recommendation before starting this book and even if I had I probably would have ignored it. I usually feel that these types of recommendations are overused but in this case I think it is going to be truly helpful. There are some tough subjects also covered so read the warnings.
I really, really liked this book but the beginning was a bit tough, and not because it picks up after a climactic event from the previous one ( that I easily was able to follow), but because of all the nicknames that are used, especially since Meredith alone has multiple ones, given by Grizz, her sister, and different ones from different MC brothers. That was my biggest complaint, but after the beginning when they were all laid out it wasn’t that big of a deal ( hold on if you’re confused at first). 4.5 stars

I absolutely loved it!
"Unveiled Wounds" is the third book in the Iron Shield MC series, and it truly resonated with me because of everything Meredith goes through. After their mother passed away, Meredith was practically raised by her sister, Grace, and often felt like she was living in Grace’s shadow. Because of this, she was frequently judged and compared to her sister. While Grace had her own struggles, she received support, whereas Meredith often felt alone.
The physical trauma Meredith faced was overwhelming, but the emotional trauma was just as significant. The amazing Grizz was the only one in the clubhouse who truly stood by her. I loved that he was willing to choose her over the club; it really showcased the strength of their connection. By the end, as Meredith began to heal, she realized that Grizz wasn't going anywhere and was determined to stay by her side.
Meredith felt incredibly relatable to me, especially in how she pushed Grizz away during her healing process. She was at a low point, dealing with gossip and judgment from others, while the one person trying to help her was Grizz. Her attempts to test his loyalty by distancing herself felt very real. This book had me hooked from the start, as I followed Meredith’s emotional journey and rooted for her and Grizz to find their happily ever after. There was plenty of drama involving the sisters and the motorcycle club that kept me turning the pages, and I ended up reading it in one sitting! I just couldn’t get enough!
I’m so glad I decided to read the first two books in the series before diving into this one! Although you can read it as a standalone, it ties in beautifully with the first book, offering insights from both Meredith and Grizz. The world-building is fabulous, and the side characters are just as relatable and endearing as the main ones—you’ll want to know more about them!

HEARTBREAKING SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE WITH ANGST AND LONGING!!
Unveiled wound is a heartbreaking love story of Meredith and Grizz, who is member of A MC club. When I first started reading this book, I was confused because there were things that I couldn’t understand and then I did a little research on first two books and got to know a little backstory and from then I was able to keep up with incidents and story of the book.
Meredith, who went through a traumatic experience in her past and also went through a very extreme toxic and manipulative relationship is fighting her demons, trying to forget the past and get on her feet to be the strong women she is but whenever she tries to sleep the nightmare from her past didn’t let her rest. But there is one person who stands with her during hot and cold, Grizz who holds her when she is going through pain and teaches her what true and loyal love looks and feel like and he does everything with so much patience. His MC Brothers don’t understand why he wants to be with Meredith, but Grizz stands with her no matter what.
This book contains some pretty heavy topics and contains healing from trauma, intense chemistry with some pretty good actions. I really like Grizz, “Touch her and I’ll kill you” aura, I love how protective, patient and loyal he is for Mer and how slowly he wins her touch with forcing her and letting her take her time to heal from all the dark things she went through in her past.
That what I liked most about this book, though one thing that irked me was addition of different scenes suddenly while story is flowing in a way, which can make reader confused.

It’s been a while since I read the last book and went back to refresh my mind and tried for the first and couldn’t find it so I got some of the happenings. I needed a refresher to remember who’s who and what’s all happening, I’ve read a lot of biker romances so I need to refresh myself with the previous one(s).
Meredith ‘Buster’, Grace’s little sister, struggling from what happened to her and the her kidnapping from her cousin, and she’s hurting more than ever and most of the club don’t particularly care for her either and are always comparing her to her more better sister and the comments she over beards don’t help her healing so she pushed almost everyone away and even tried with her husband.. Married to Jonathan Barnett ‘Grizz’, the Shield’s V.P. He tries and supports her and will defend her on his dying breath but he’s also stretched thin with his job, club and his wife and the loss of their unborn child. Cartel is out to get and put boundaries on the sisters and Grace’s son head fore reasons but there is also another player trying to protect them? Thus the reason I try to refresh my memory, I can’t remember all the hassle the girls been through with their father and his connections to the one cartel but it rears in this story. This one around is only from Grizz and Meredith’s POVs and no others..

I loved the story of Meredith, she was always a tortured soul from the snippets we got of her and I always felt for her. Grace and her had different experiences and different issues to overcome, but with her losing everything, and having to manage a physical recovery, who wouldn't shut themselves away. Grizz saw through this and did what a real man does, love her unconditionally. Dead also saw through what she had been through, and became her silent ally.
Mer's progress in the book was a journey that everyone should read. She couldn't and didn't push herself to conform of the needs of the community.
The adventures the MC had to get through was fab! The detail of the fight scene and the explosions, i had a film playing through my head the whole time. And it balanced the emotional side.
Emily is an unsung hero, and her silent support and advice and guidance through everything really moved the story forward.
I really feel we got a treat with this book, at least 2 books in one and J Wine is an amazing author. Her writing style makes her books flow, enjoyable to read, and her research into her plots is flawless. And she deals with really difficult topics in her books in a way that is sensitive, relevant to the story and in keeping with the characters.
More than 5 stars for this book.

This book! I loved it. The characters are dealing with fallout from previous events. The FMC is dealing with a loss and with events that have led to what I think is PTSD. She’s dealing with the guilt of taking a life as well. And she can’t seek counseling because telling anyone would put the club in danger. Her journey from agoraphobia and crippling nightmares to finding herself again and adjusting to a new normal demonstrates her strength and her husband’s support. It was really well written and didn’t happen overnight. Meredith also had to find her place in the club. Grizz has to deal with feelings of helplessness as he supports Meredith through the struggles. He also has a lot of resentment towards the club, which has been hostile towards his marriage and his wife. He’s also dealing with grief over their shared loss.
In addition to the emotional journey, there’s a good balance of action and excitement. I also think that their sexual relationship evolved naturally and became something very hot. This book is really well done and I am very much looking forward to future books in the series.
Heat- open door, explicit
Safety? Y
Triggers- see author’s note. Includes violence, language, and discussion of ectopic pregnancy.
Tropes- Second Chance, Dysfunctional Family FTW, Surprise Baby, Baby You Can Drive My Car-tel, Waking Up Married.

First off we are told to read previous 2 books before this for some part to make sense. I however didn't and read this 1st. I now know why I should have. If you can you should read the other but I did manage to enjoy it as a standalone.
Also please read TW as this has tough subjects and can be upsetting.
Now new author for me and she was good. This book really took me through the ringer emotion wise. It's heartbreaking at times.
Meredith is so misunderstood and is quite lonely as everyone has turned their back on her. Except one man, Grizz. She was still so strong and sassy despite the physical and emotional trauma she has been through.
Grizz may seem tough but he really was a softy when it came to Meredith. I absolutely loved how he stood by her and was willing to give up his MC Club for her. He is equally broken and has his own struggle.
Seeing these two fight their battles yet be there for each other was beautiful. When she realises he is her strength and gave in was just amazing. I just loved them together.
There as plant of drama, found family so emotional, heartbreak, love and spice.
Definitely will read more from this author.

Unveiled Wounds is the 3rd book in the Iron Shields series. I have not read the first two books in the series, which I think was needed for the background of the characters and it picks up from previous books, which confused me a bit. That said this is still a great read and has exactly what you would expect from an MC romance.
Meredith, is haunted by a violent past and swore never to let anyone close again. Gritt, the battle-scarred sergeant-at-arms of the Iron Shields MC, believes his darkness makes him unworthy of love. Meredith and Gritt, are one of those couples that on the surface, they shouldn’t work, yet they do. There is a real simmering sexual tension and high-stakes danger when a rival club’s vendetta puts Meredith directly in harm’s way. You get plenty of twists and turns, which although some feel predictable, do keep you on your toes.
Meredith and Gritt’s journey is emotional, loyalties are tested, recovery from past trauma, danger, darkness and guilt alongside love lead to an intense MC romance about trust, second chances, and loving someone—scars and all.

(5 stars)
This is the third of the series, they do need to be read in order to fully understand the happenings in this book. From the start of book one, Grizz and Meredith weren't even a question, they were a thing. Meredith had canceled her wedding, went out, met Grizz and from there it was history. But the events in book one has left the two in a weird place, both dealing with grief, Grizz trying to be the anchor that Meredith needs but she is pushing him away at every turn. Along with that, there is still the club drama that has to be dealt with, Grizz is being pulled in two directions, but he knows which he would choose over the other if there was ever a need. With what feels like the world falling down around them, will the two make it out together?
This was a great addition to the series! I absolutely ate this story up and couldn't get enough. Drama, danger, violence, naughty bits that were on fire; everything that a reader needs in an MC story and this had it all. I give this installment 5 stars.

✨ARC Review ✨
Overall, 4.5/5⭐️ Meredith and Grizz’s story starts out in Unveiled Desires (Sabre and Grace’s story) and follows into Unveiled Wounds!
Meredith has been through some tough times in life, especially since meeting Grizz. Grizz’s constant companionship with Met helps heal her from traumas that occurred in Unveiled Desires, as well as gives her a fresh start in the MC world. Grizz and Mer’s characters developed quite a bit through this book, allowing for growth, communication, and family connections to shine through.
The spice in this book was minimal but when you read it, whew! J. Wine really focuses on the physical connection through touch, pining, and constant devotion for the FMC and MMC. This was an ARC read for me but I had to read the first novel before starting this one to really understand the characters and their backstories. Will definitely be reading more from this author and in this series as they come out!

I want to start by saying I did enjoy this book! It had emotion and depth and two partners who wanted their relationship and fought for it!!!
The reason I rated it a 3 was because there was something about the writing that had me feeling unsatisfied in some places.
Do I think the plot and story line was good, yes, yes I do! It was it entertaining, and made you feel like you wanted these two to work out!! You was Meredith to heal and find her way back to Grizz.
Meredith has gone through some trauma to say the least, she has pushed the people she loves away and is trying to maneuver through her pain. Grizz loves her more than anything in this world, even give up a world he has known his whole life for her.
We are on a journey in this book following a FMC with ptsd and maneuvering through grief and an MMC that is trying to show her he isn't going anywhere!
I am grateful for Grey Promotions and J.Wine for allowing me the opportunity to read this book as an ARC!

This is Book 3 in the Iron Shield MC series, these are series focused on each couple, but you really need to them in order to understand Meredith and Grizz's backstory. Meredith has been through so much in this series, and because of her trauma, she's really not well liked around the club. Grizz does his best to support her and be there for her, but he is ready to risk it all for her, maybe even the club. Meredith knows she needs to take steps to heal, but get through the day is still hard when her nightmares follow her even in her sleep. Now the bank is after her, the cartel is after her, and she's not sure where she fits in her family, the club, or even with her best friends. But even though she's rough around the edges, and a PITA, family and the club knows when to step up. Absolutely loved seeing these two get their HEA.

K Wine continues to grow her Iron Shield MC collection with a raw, gritty blend of danger, steam, drama, and heart wrenching moments. Meredith and Grizz struggle every day to move past her trauma: she is scarred physically and mentally to the point of hiding herself from everyone. I love his patience, his support, and his strength that he shows her and his gossipy MC.
The club’s trouble with a cartel that’s out to hurt their women and destroy the MC is a source of non stop action. I’m addicted to these guys and their old ladies, their love and passion is unmatched, and seeing them grow families is beautiful. The look into the future with the bonus gives all the feels! I just want more of these guys!!.

I was super excited for this book after having binge read the first two and I will say that it did not disappoint. This third book is more of Grizz and Meredith’s story as well as the complicated relationship that the rest of the MC have towards her. It picks up in the aftermath of where the last book left off and tensions are high. We see the effect the cartel have on everyone and see them scrambling to decipher what the heck is going on. On a deeper level we see Meredith’s struggle to fit in as well as her healing journey with Grizz by her side. He is amazing and doesn’t let her deal with anything on her own. I enjoyed the glimpses of the other characters from the previous books and the insight we get to their lives. Many questions are answered and we have a better understanding of the events that transpired

I loved how the book started out in the present with glimpses of Mer’s past traumas, even if it was a little hard to decipher when it cut to flashbacks. I also loved the writing, the plot, the characters--Grizz (Jonathan) &Meredith & the side characters (the brotherhood), the details & all the emotions you could feel from the characters and myself from reading this book. Grizz was so dedicated, possessive, supportive & much more of Mer it was so heartwarming, but also hot with the possessive part. And the storyline was amazing, so much was happening there wasn’t a dull moment to be had. This book was so amazing I have to go and read the others in this series. Loved! Oh and I loved the progression of Mer. She is so strong willed, fiery, and just so perfect for Grizz. I loved her.

This is the third book in the Iron Shield MC and it does not disappoint. Meredith is dealing with the aftermath of her trauma. She’s trying to recuperate however she can, the love and patience Grizz has for her is seriously goals. He’s with her every step of the way and just wants her to get better. Their journey isn’t easy and the fact that many of the other members didn’t give her a chance in the beginning makes it hard at times, but they make it to their HEA. There’s so much emotion, angst, not to mention the spice that will have you fanning yourself at times. Life has been life-ing but this journey was one I’m so happy I didn’t miss out on. I had such a great time and enjoyed every bit of it. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Loooved reading about Grizz and Meredith!
Meredith is such a resilient and strong woman, and I loved seeing her growth throughout the book. I feel that Grizz is such an important part of her support system as well, so I'm glad that he was there for her literally in sickness and in health.
I cannot tell you how many times I said "aww" and squealed because of the dialogues, but more than that I think the story itself is just so touching and I appreciated it a lot. Will definitely re-read!
I recommend this book if you like the following tropes:
- Second chance romance
- MC romance
- Romantic suspense
- Strong FMC x Protective MMC
- Found family
Thank you so much to J. Wine and Grey's Promotions for the ARC opportunity!

Unveiled Wounds is Book 3 of the Iron Shield MC series. It's a steamy, gritty, opposites-attract, second-chance, MC romance. I have been dying for Meredith and Grizz's story since book 1 and it did not disappoint. Truth be told, I have hated Meredith until now. She still started out as the sassy brat but we started to understand her a bit more. I have always loved Grizz and we learn that he has his own demons that he is dealing with. I loved that he never gave up on Meredith. Both were in ways broken but able to heal each other in the end. This was a beautiful story about healing, redemption, and second chances.

So with this one we finally get Grizz and Meredith and all their issues. I will admit that I didn't like Meredith at first in this series, she came off as a whiney bitch, who needed to be the most important person within the crowd she was in. I hated how she resented her sister, Grace, hated how she treated Grizz. But as this book (and the series) went on, she grew on me. I liked her by the end of the book, I liked how she managed to win over the guys in the MC, liked how she worked with her sister, Emily and Aunt E, to figure out a way to help the club without them seeing it. It was nice when she finally realized that she was accepted and had her own place within the club. She deserved it and it was hard fought for.

A raw, emotional redemption story for Meredith “Buster” that finally lets us see the woman behind the walls. After struggling with trauma, grief, and constant comparisons to her sister, Meredith’s journey toward healing is both heartbreaking and empowering.
Grizz, ever loyal and protective, stands by her side—even as he’s pulled in every direction. Their bond is tested by loss, danger, and deep emotional scars, but their love shines through.
Packed with emotion, tension, steamy chemistry, and just the right twists, this book gave Meredith the depth she deserved. I didn’t love her in the first two books—but this one changed everything.

We're in the Iron Sheild MC series with Unveiled Wounds and back with Grizz and Meredith. I didn’t know this was a series until I started reading it and I looked it up and realize this is book 3. I really enjoyed it. if you’ve not read the first two books it is kind of confuses as to why they don’t like Meredith I completely enjoyed this story and as a result I have a better understanding of Meredith and all that she's gone through. Her character is relatable and I absolutely adore the support Grizz was for her. This was a ARC read for me. I will be reading more by this author. I like her writing style. There was some spice character growth even more world building just in this one book.

This is the third book in this impressive series, and this is Grizz and Meridith’s story.
Meridith has been through so much in her life and her trauma has her not very well likes in the MC, while Grizz always tries to support and be there for her. Will Grizz choose Meridith over his club though?
This is a well written raw, gritty, and emotionally charged story, with family, friendships, trauma, betrayal, surprises, second chances, undeniable chemistry, healing, and love, which leads to an entertaining, and unpredictable page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

J. Wine’s third Iron Shield MC novel is pure adrenaline wrapped in emotion. From the first page, Meredith’s hard-earned strength and Grizz’s fierce loyalty make their second-chance romance impossible to look away from. The surprise-baby twist raises every stake while showcasing Wine’s talent for pairing gritty club politics with tender, hopeful moments. Pacing is break-neck, side characters add lived-in depth, and the author never shies from real trauma—yet the message that love can heal shines through every chapter.
If you crave MC romance that hits as hard emotionally as it does action-wise, Unveiled Wounds is a five-star must-read.

This storyline was the only way that Meredith would be redeemable after how she acted in the prior books. I have reread the book a few times and each time she proves to be just as strong as her sister is even though she doesn't see it. Her love for both Grizz and Flo shows more and more as who she really is even if Sabre is still leery of her. Seeing how the brothers come around to her including Sabre was just amazing. Her love for Flo and JR was such an important scene because it showed us that no matter how mean and bit*hy Mer comes across as, she would lay her life down for her family.

loved it
I so enjoyed reading this book. The characters were engaging with a plot that kept my interest. Highly recommend this book as well as the series. Griss and his lady have a rocky road toward their HEA. They have powerful enemies who want their women. There is a showdown battle. A loss of a fetus and there is a found baby who wins their hearts. It’s a very good read. I wish book 3 was published. Wonderful bonus chapter. Loved this book! HEA, NO CHEATING, NO CLIFFHANGER
