Paige by MJ Field is an exciting and intriguing read. Vincent, bodyguard to Valentina for the past 9 years is a man who doesn’t believe in love due to events/things in his past. Paige is best friends with the ladies we met in the Ties of Steel series. Vincent and Paige have known each other for those 9 years but Paige is a woman who has some insecurities in her past which caused her to not take a chance on Vincent. While Vincent didn’t believe he was deserving of love so he didn’t pursue Paige even though they had serious chemistry. With these two having issues in their past, will they be able to take a risk and be willing to go for what they want, to address their fears and tackle them head on or will they let the fears rule them and ruin any chance for having a chance at love? This was an amazing story, a read that was hot and steamy, with a sexy Italian male and sassy American lady. I loved the writing and the addicting plot. This story has it all and I kept turning the pages because it was so good. MJ Fields always writes such sexy characters. The chemistry and the connection is all here. This is a must read for fans of #ForeverSteel and #TiedtoSteel.
My Rating: 4.5 stars ***** “I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
One thing I love about MJ Fields is that she always brings back her characters. You love to see where they are now and what is happening with them. Paige and Vincent had chemistry. What she has with Vincent she never had with anyone else. All her past relationships didn't see her for who she was. They only saw the outside. Vincent, in the beginning, judged her from the outside until he truly saw her past her outer being and learned what and who she truly was. This story has it all. A true page turner. Vincent didn't believe in love because of his past. But he admits that he never felt what he feels for Paige with anyone else. He knows what he wants and will not stop until he gets it. What he wants is Paige and he will do anything to make her his. Paige is an independent, smart, strong curvy woman. Vincent is a true alpha man. The chemistry between these two characters is off the charts. MJ Fields makes you fall in love with them from the beginning and has you glued to each and every word. Anxiously awaiting what will happen next. A definite 5 star read and a must read to everyone's TBR list.
Freakin Vincent! I mean Jase, Sabato and Gage are all my favs #foreversteel. But Vincent just sprinted into the lead. Who better to handle a stubborn Viking Princess than an even more stubborn and bossy Italian Prince?
Paige is best friends with the ladies we met in the Ties of Steel series. Vincent has been the body guard for Valentina and her children for the past 9 years. They have a push me pull me relationship. Lots of spark and sass! Loved Paige as the heroine here. Real life curves and a softness under her fierce lioness roar. Happy to see Vincent show her his soft side as well. Vincent steals the show for me though. So incredibly HAwT! Whew!
This can be read as a stand alone but you really just need to read all the Steel series. Lots of familiar faces pop up in this one. Loved all of it! Great job, MJ!

Paige is the single woman of the group and feisty as h€ll!!
Vincent, bodyguard to Valentina, doesn’t believe in love, having been brought into the world by a junkie whore for a mother and a father who didn’t care when he was alive.
A dead father and a mother that lets her ‘men’ beat a try to rape him as a child, would make anyone give up in love, until Paige.
They’ve known each other for 9 years, but Paige also has her fears and insecurities, despite putting on an ‘I’m an independent bitch’ facade.
Realising that there’s more to Paige than meets the eye, suddenly has Vincent going all alpha on Paige and god, does this get hot and heavy!
But with both if them having had troubled pasts, can they be ‘brave’ enough to see their fears for what they are and tackle them head on or will they chicken out and miss out on what could possibly be the best thing for them both?
MJ Fields never lets you down, her writing is smoking hot and who doesn’t love a sexy hot-as-h€ll alpha and fiercely independent strong woman battling it out to come our on top!
This is one ride you don’t want to miss!!!

I was so excited to read Paige’s story. To me she has always been such a badass in the other Tied to Steel books. She has gone through so much but still wants her Viking prince. She is an amazing worker but after being screwed over at work (then with her boyfriend) she is DONE! She takes off for some much needed girl time. She once again, is met with Vincent. The hot as sin bodyguard.
Vincent has always been out of reach. His main purpose was to protect Valentina and her girls. As much as Paige would try he would never cross those lines. But Paige is oh so tempting.
Finally, timing begins to click and their journey is fun, sexy, and passionate. Their story is so good and had me turning the pages until I was done reading (in one day mind you). I could not put it down. MJ Fields has a gift. I’m always drawn in while reading her books. This book is no exception.
This is a must read (as are all of the Steel books). You can read this as a stand-alone, or before you read the other Steel books, or go wild and get all of the Steel books and have the most amazing read-a-thon! Enjoy!
The story has laughs, secrets, pain, and heartbreak. I was pulled right into this story. The story flowed well, and I was kept interested.
If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first Terzetto (The Vault Volume One) Valentina (Tied In Steel #1)
This is Paige’s story. Paige has had enough. All the pain from breakups and being overlooked repeatedly she is tired of it. She is leaving everything behind and running away so to speak. One dinner with her friends empowers her to take what she wants. She wants to be Queen and she will stop at nothing to be what she wants. She is about to take her life by the balls. Vincent is sure the Paige is all wrong for him but they just can’t seem to stay away from each other. Will this be the something good Paige has needed or just another disappointment in a long line of them?
I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author.
If you are looking for a strong female character look no further then MJ Fields Paige. Paige Arnesen is strong, determined, and will do whatever it takes to protect her family but when the one man has caught your eye for the past nine years you never think that you would ever be able to say he’s mine. Vincent Startos is a mystery. He is the broody, alpha man that every women seems to want but when he meets Paige all those years ago he watches from afar but when you feel that pull why not take the chance on someone who can make your whole life change in an instant. The chemistry between Paige & Vincent is Absolutely off the charts but two people that have strong personalities and both who always need to be in control, watching the struggle for dominance is fun to watch. There will be many obstacles that they will go through to hopefully find that HEA but you will want to take that journey with them to see where it leads
This was a hands down five star read for me and not necessarily for the steamy portions, which is highly unusual for me.
I loved this book, because of the character development. Paige is a strong, independent woman, aka Warrior Princess. I love that even disappointment after disappointment and heartbreak after heartbreak she stays true to herself.
Enter Vincent, strong, big and even by Momma's standards, handsome. Paige is his kryptonite, the one woman he knows isn't right for him, but the one woman who torments his dreams and fantasies.
Watching the two of them come together and watching Paige struggle with her independence while at the same time trying to come together and be with Vincent was just beautiful.
I should note that when they came together, it was HOT. But, I loved their story and seeing Sabato and the family again. Definitely recommend this book.
Paige by MJ Fields can be read as a standalone. I recommend to read the previous book, Terzetto, first. Terzetto was released inThe Vault Volume 1. Paige Arnesen is 32 year old woman, loves the urban life. She´s blunt, feisty and sometimes rude - especially when a certain bodyguard is around. Her dating life is a disaster and her boss, while she loves her work, isn´t good to her. When push comes to pull she´s had enough, takes a extended vacation and goes to Italy to regroup. Her friends and Valentina, yes The Valentina from Terzetto - Franco´s Valentina - brings her bodyguard, Vincent. Vincent doesn´t like her - much, but can´t get her out of his head. She drives him crazy and doesn´t wants to want her. He´s a hard man with a rough past. But the heart wants what the heart wants.
Paige is a story with a lot of twists and turns. These twists and turns kept me at the edge of my seat and I read the book in one sitting, I couldn´t put it down. I like the characters and the writing, the story and the words.
Strong Female.. check! Hot Alpha Male that tells it like it is.. check!
Paige and Vincent were smoking hot together, their chemistry was seriously off the charts hot. She is a fiesty, independent and career focused woman, but life keeps throwing her curveballs. She keeps getting overlooked for promotions until one day, she finally says, enough and packs up on a trip to see her friends in Italy.
Vincent has been the bodyguard to Paige's friend Valentina for the last ten years and has known Paige nearly that long. He has always been intrigued by her, but has never made a move until now. One hot night at a private club will change their course of destiny forever.
Loved every minute of this. Go girl power! It was refreshing to see a strong woman meet her match. Vincent was just what she never knew she needed. I recieved an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Like any other book by MJ Fields I find myself so enthralled in the story that I'm sorry it's over. I can never get enough of her writing style or her characters. Paige had me smiling from ear to ear because she is a woman on a mission to prove herself not only to the world but to herself as well. She has goals and ambitions that prove she's no slacker.
There's always a lesson to be learned or a situation to be considered and contemplated in MJ's books. I love how the stories cause me to self reflect and dig deep to find my true self rather than be whom others want or expect. But sometimes as women fighting for what we feel we deserve we lose sight on what really matters to us, as does Paige.
Fan-freaking-tastic!!! I loved it! Honestly couldn't stop reading it. I read it on the treadmill, while blow drying my hair, while cooking I couldn't put my Kindle away. When I wasn't reading I was thinking about. The story was addicting! I absolutely adored Paige she was strong, she was a bad#ss but she was also a bit broken and it made me love her!! Vincent Holy Hotness! Alpha perfection!! I wasnt sure if they were a match made in Heaven or Hell. I only knew I wanted them together! MJ Fields never fails to create a hot sexy man but with this one I think I have a bit of girl crush on Paige! Can't wait for the next one! Now that is going to be an interesting story!!
Oh boy! What a book. I just finished this, and I still can't process what just went down. What a steamy read. Sex club you say? Sign me up!
Paige and Vincent were perfect for each other. I loved that these two had a story and I absolutely love the Italian side of the Steel family. Dominic, Sabato, and even just a bit of Franco make an appearance, and you know me. If Dom is involved then you know I'll devour a book. I'm super excited for Gia's book *fingers crossed* it happens in Italy. I might have to call in that day. I have a feeling it's going to be scorching hot.
Paige's man gets turned on at the most inconvenient times, "...she pauses and leans forward, holding her stomach. Then I do the damnedest thing. I rub her back. She ends up with her head on my lap, and I end up hard. She sighs. “You’re really turned on right now?” Paige's man isn't one to ask or beg for things but when it comes to Paige the man doesn't hold back, “and I’m the only mothereffer who can handle a woman like you.” I nod. “And it’s my privilege. Let me be yours, too.” I liked this book, Paige needed a man that was as strong-willed as she was and boy did she get that in her man.
I am loving this series, these women are amazing. I loved that Paige didn't let anyone walk all over her, also she never backed down from what she wanted and didn't give up. Vincent was the most alpha male I have read in a while. He never backed down from his determination to get Paige. Will they be able to both get over their stubbornness and find the happiness they need? This one is definitely a must read!!
Fng SWOON! Vincent has just become one of my absolute favorites. I LOVED this book so hard. Great story. Hot AF naughty bits. Will never get enough #foreversteel
Paige is one feisty strong complicated woman. Vincent is one demanding complicated hot alpha man. Vincent knows what he wants and doesn’t stop till he has it. Paige is one independent woman. She gives anything she does 110%. They make for one amazing couple. Could not wait to see where the story would go.
Paige was simply amazing. And Vincent there are no words to describe that man well maybe yummy. He was so totally an alpha man. He is definitely balls to wall all in.
Poor Paige has had enough. She was just overlooked for yet another promotion for the last time. Soo she does what we all wish we could do…she takes off and heads to Italy for some fun and relaxation.
Ohh and she may have bared her big girl bod to the man who has been her bodyguard for over 9 years-Vincent. (I actually love me a big girl book. Not really sure why?? Maybe cuz I am a big girl too. But to me, these books have that added fun in them and I love reading about these sassy girls!!)
Vincent doesn’t really believe in LOVE. But he has been the object of Paige’s darkest desires and the dirtiest of her dreams. But you just wait…these two make one hell of a love story!!!
I really loved their chemistry, lots of sexual chemistry and the banter between them both would have me giggling at times. Such a fun, quick read.
Paige is book 2 in the Tied In Steel series. I have not had the chance to read book one, but I don't feel like I missed anything from not reading book 1. I did see that they can be read as standalones, but I am definitely going back to read that book as well. : )
I gave Paige 4.5 iScream Cones. This was actually my first read by MJ Fields, which I don’t know how this happened??? lol But it will definitely not be my last!!! Such a hot and steamy read. Soo make sure you one click on release day and fall into everything that is Paige and Vincent!!
Oh my what can I say this lady sure knows how to give us a book that will keep us wanting more and pages turning quicker than we like, she also keep our Steel Addiction fueld with the appearance of our favourite family.
Paige is a warrior Princess who will go to war with anyone to protect those she loves, she comes across as strong, confident but like many strong women past events have left her with a vulnerable side and you have to dig deep and prove your loyalty to reach her on all levels.
Men she's dated have only ever seen the outer package tall,sexy,curvey and confident but these don't last. She may well have just met her match though in her best friends bodyguard Vincent he's that all Italian package that will make you want to say yes to anything he proposes but remember both are stubborn beyond words.
Make sure you add this to your list of books to read you won't be disappointed and I will say that Vincent may be up there now as one of my all time Favourite Fields Men along with Cyrus Steel and Logan Links
I am never disappointed in an MJ Fields book and this one delivered as well! I also spend my time trying to figure out where I can find a man like the ones that she writes about and I then have a hard time figuring out what one I now like the best and Vincent left me with the same dilemma. Vincent and Paige were both complex characters with difficult pasts. They were both strong characters that were well written with relatable issues. Vincent with his troubled upbringing and his belief that love didn't exist. Paige had issues with confidence and self image. Together once they got themselves together were one amazing couple that I could not get enough of. Their story moved along well keeping me hooked to their story from page one. I enjoyed the return of the characters from the previous books so that one could catch up with the characters from the previous books even if it was brief. I loved this book from the start and would recommend it to others. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
I love MJ Fields and I couldn't wait to get my hand on Paige. What's better than reading a book about a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants in life. Paige was exactly that even when she was having her more vulnerable moments. She was confident and wasn't afraid to stick up for herself. Unfortunately, she keeps dating the wrong guy and has found herself in less than ideal situations. And Vincent, I don't even know where to start when it comes to him. He's commanding yet has this soft side that even he didn't know he had. His past is heartbreaking but I loved that Paige and her family were able to fill that void he was missing. As far as the story line, I enjoyed it overall. I thought the banter between Paige and Vincent was very entertaining. I also loved the role that the Steel clan played. There were times though that I just couldn't connect with Paige which really slowed the pace down for me. There were also a time or two where the situation between her and Vincent really through me off. I guess I just couldn't picture it as it was told.
MJ Fields is a kickass woman so ofcourse she writes about kickass amazing women. One of these happens o be our girl Paige. Though this book can be read as a standalone Paige is mentioned in a few of the other Steel Novels as one of 4 best friends. She is the girl who married her career, the one wit something to prove, the girl who has baggage and insecurities all wrapped up in her Vera Wang suit and Jimmy Choo pumps. Vincent is the guy. He's the mysterious hot guy that you know would be great in bed, the protector, the reluctant friend and the guys holding a torch for a woman he does realize is more amazing than he knows. This book has it ALL, the heat, the sadness, the confidence, the trials, and best of all the HEA. MJ will always take you on the roller coaster ride of your life and drop you back in the "Winnie the Pooh" ride with lots of smiles and tissues.... Mind you at some points you think you'll never survive the ride but her books including Paige have so much depth that you just cant help but get sucked in!!
Paige is this sexy, curvy, tough, motivated, successful, no-nonsense woman....who has terrible taste in men. After her last failed relationship with a “colorful” gentleman, and a huge blowup at her place of employment, she decides to take a break and go to Italy. Of course we see some of our faves here like Dominic, Sabato and Valentina - and it makes the story feel like coming home :) One night, Paige gets a little too friendly with the liquor, and a new opportunity presents itself. She’s always been attracted to Vincent, Valentina’s security detail, and she’s got just enough liquid courage to finally do something about it!
What happens from there is just a glorious mix of love, family, sexy time, and friendship. I’ll end by saying that the choice to have written Paige as a curvier woman, makes my heart happy and I absolutely adore everything about her!
So how to share how good this author, series, story is and how much I loved it - nope cannot cover off with all the possible adjectives!! So in short - if you love a alpha guy, meeting his match in a woman with more balls (metaphorically) but he want her forever, this story covers their journey and healing - read this book. Enjoy a good love story - read this book. Love a down and dirty story - read this book. Get the gist - I laughed, gasped in joy and horror, and cried sad and happy real tears, there aren't many books that can pull a reader in that far, M J Fields does frequently, this was no exception. This is part of a series, BUT can be read as a standalone, the other previous book, and linked series only make it better as you catch up with their stories too.
WOW! OMG just freaking amazing!!!! I am not sure where to start. Which I say a lot with this autor. MJ's writing, books and stories jsut keep getting better and better as she goes. She has been know for a her strong alpha males and Vincent does not disappoint, not at all. It is so nice to see the women getting more and more dominate in these stories/series. Love Paige!! She is a very strong women who knows what she wants and is not going to take anything less in life. Absolute love seeing this!!. The chemistry that Paige and Vincent has is just amazing. This book like so many others, was very hard to put down. It sucks you into the story and keeps you wanting more even when the story is over. Wonderful read!! It want disappoint.
Paige is one bad ass chic. She is exactly the kind of heroin you love to read about. She knows who she is and she doesn't let anyone tell her differently. Yes she has her insecurities but she doesn't let them define her. Paige has lusted after Vincent for a long time but anytime she has ever propositioned him she is to drunk to carry it out. Vincent finally see's a new side of Paige and he isn't going to let her get away. After the upbringing he has had he doesn't believe in love but Paige is making him see a future that he didn't plan on. Loved this book and they were awesome to read their HEA and funny as hell.
