Titan

Norfolk #5

by M.J. Fields

Not all officers are gentlemen —some are villains.
Not all protectors care for your heart —some shatter it.
He was all of that and more.
One look at him and something inside of me woke from a three-year slumber.
One realization and I knew I would never be able to unleash that desire.
My world started to crumble. Fear crept in and I knew I needed Titan more than I could ever admit, or I could lose everything I had worked so hard for.
Lines were crossed.
Tragedy followed.
We fell in love — in the cruelest of ways.

5 Star

Another hot, steamy, passionate, sexy, and heartbreaking story from MJ. I got sucked into the story from the very first page.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first
Irons (Norfolk, #1)
Irons 2 (Norfolk, #2)
Irons 3 (Norfolk #3)
Shadows (Norfolk #2)

This is Laurie and Titan’s story. If you have read the other books in this series, you know Titan and have most likely waited for his book since the very beginning. This story is loaded full of laughs and naughty fun. Titan is an Alpha male, but Laurie can handle him and anything else life throws at her. When Laurie needed help, she turns to Titan. He has always been there for her when she needed him, and she knows she can count on him. The relationship that changes for them is not an easy road but both of them are willing to fight for what they want. They have no problems working together to get through anything life throws at them. You get a little suspense in terms of his brothers in arms. But all in all, the book sucked you in and held you captive until the very end. Another winner from MJ!!

With MJ you know you are going to get a book from the heart that deals with real life issues and concerns. You get to live through the events right along side of the great characters she dreams up.

I recommend this story, this series, and anything this author writes.

Titan is Book Three in MJ Fields Norfolk Series and what a story it is. Tanner Titan is part of an Elite Group Of Men, Serves his Country with Respect & Dignity, he will lay his life on the line for his fellow brothers. He is the ultimate Alpha when it comes to the ladies but when one in particular lady turns his head he has met his match.
Dr. Laurie O’Neil is a daughter raised in the military life she now is a single mom raising the most awesome little girl but when she needs help she turns to Titan a man who will be there for her because of the connection she had with his friend William Cruise.
What the two of them have is a connection like no other. The push and pull of the attraction is off the charts. He has found his match in Laurie and he will see how she will do whatever it takes to stand by him and show him that you never have to go it alone, there is always family & friends that will always be willing to be there when you need them the most. Their story will take on many twists and turns and with each turn of the page you can’t wait to see where their story goes but what you want is to see that they can get to the HEA that they both truly deserve.

Titan thinks very highly of himself, “you’re a medical doctor; a little above average is a seven or eight. My ***k is a nine limp,” I joke. “But that’s not it either.” Tanner sometimes needs things put in perspective, “dead serious. I’m also serious about getting some sleep because we leave very early tomorrow morning. Think about this logically, Tanner. Not with your ***k.” I loved this book, I fell in love with Tanner.

The much anticipated final book in the Norfolk Series (sigh)

This book was so deep on an unexpected level. While I fell head over heels for Tanner Titan, I also was blown away by the strong alpha female lead, Laurie. And let's not forget her daughter, Calee who had me laughing so hard with her intelligence and sass - she was just so darn cute! #cutenessoverload



#dontbeaBwook

At 49% - the tears were flowing - a totally unexpected raw display of emotions

The hurt, emotions and subsequent life changing events due to Titan's medical needs totally gutted me; and my heart shattered for Laurie as well.



But in true MJ Fields fashion, she was able to put all the pieces back together again all while making it even better than I could even imagine!







As much as I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book, I'm so sad that the series is over!
These characters (Jaxson Irons, Frankie, Jebadiah Shadows, Mary, Tanner Titan and Laurie - and trust me the list goes on and on and on) - because this tight-knit group captured my heart with the release of Irons, Part I and will NOT let go. It's like I've become a part of their group too!
BUT the good news is, even though the series is at an end, I can revisit them time and time again, which I plan to do often.

Dedication, Loyalty, Patriotic, Brotherhood are all things Titan believes in. Titan belongs to an elite group that live to serve and protect the country. Titan is married to the corp and loves his way of life. There is no room for relationship but lots of room for one night stands. In fact it’s tradition for Titan and the team to hook up the night before a mission. But then the one woman he has secretly longed to be with walks into his life. Laurie was and still should be forbidden to him. However saying no to Laurie is not an option. When she states she has no time for relationships between her career as a doctor and her daughter, Titan knows it’s the perfect setup for both of them it’s. If only it was that easy. No matter how hard they try to suppress them, feeling always have a way of worming their way in. Especially when you throw in doc’s precocious little girl who is totally impossible to resist. But they are determined to resist them and have a relationship behind the bedroom door only.

When a mission in a war zone goes sideways and Shadow’s plane goes down (Titan’s buddy), Titan refuses to leave them behind. He goes down after them in an attempt to save Shadow and his crew. Tragedy happens in many forms that night not only to the men but to one injured little girl that pins her hopes for help on Titan. Tragedies that bring Doc to the German Hospital they’ve been taken to help. But can Doc convince Titan that he has people that love and need him to do whatever it takes and come home or will he give up the fight. A fight that will be the hardest challenge he’s faced to date.

This is an amazing book kept me on the edge of my seat and glued to the pages. The storyline is full of suspense, intrigue, romance, laughs and OMG moments. My only regret is that I haven’t read books 1 & 2 of this series. But trust me when I say I one-clicked them as soon as I finished the epilogue. This is a Must Read that I highly recommend and if you start with Titan like I did, I bet you’ll be grabbing up the first 2 asap as well. Kudos to the author for a very well written book that totally melted my heart took my breath away. A phenomenal 5 star read.

How do you get through to an alpha fly boy who may be grounded for life? You put the woman he's always wanted but never dared to have. You put that woman in his arms, you make her a doctor, single mother to the child if one of his lost best friends, and you make her a dominant...just like him. She's perfect for him and Titan knows that this thing between the two of them cannot go further than the bedroom. She accepts those terms and agrees that it can't go further. But you know what they say about the best laid plans, right??? Yeah, they can tell themselves that all they want but when the situation turns from bedroom to hospital room, to living room with a dash of a cute as hell little girl who steals everyones heart, Titan and Laurie do not stand a chance in hell of that deal they made sticking.

Now, throw in some mystery, intrigue, heart-pounding action, and a favor that only her trust for him will allow to succeed..oh and let's not forget another little girl from foreign soil to put a mysterious spin on things and along with the hotness between the sheets, you have an exceptional story and characters that will have your spine tingling, your nails to be bitten and your heart rate to accelerate. Titan packs all of this within the pages between the cover of this extremely well written story.

I was fortunate to read this story, but also unfortunate to read it before reading the first two books...something that I will remedy shortly and I can hardly wait to read what led them all to where they are now. An exceptional story with equally exceptional characters, I highly recommend this book!

[Suzi (Obsessive Reading Disorder) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my goodness! I didn't realize I missed this crew so much! Soooo worth the wait to get Titan's story! you could read this as a stand alond--but don't. You need to meet this band of brothers and read their stories. Will, Jaxson, Jeb and Tanner are brothers by choice and they will die for each other. Their stories are intertwined and the author does a fabulous job of catching the reader up in each book. But first time through and reading it your self can not ever be replaced.

We have see Tanner 'Titan" in the previous books. We have also seen the good Dr. Laurie and her daughter from her relationship with will. For these two it is finally time. time to heal, time to fight, time to fall in love.

This author always brings out the big guns and this story is no exception. Acts of war, loss, deep friendship, self doubt, and most of all love, love, love all around. An un-put-downable read for sure. Grab the series and get to know these alpha pilots and their families. this one is a top read of the year so far for me.

I’ve waited to read Titan’s book since the first in the Irons series was released. This book was so worth the wait. Not only is Titan a alpha male that all of us dream of, he is caring and all about family. Now I have a girl crush on Laurie. What a badas* woman. Alpha male, badas* woman and throw in a couple cute kids and this is an amazing heartfelt book.

[Sharon Cummin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved, Loved, Loved this book. Can't wait for the next one!

[Rita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Titan is Book 3 in the Norfolk series, it can be read as a standalone , but you get a better understanding of the background by reading Irons and Shadows first.
This book is Tanner Titan and Laurie O' Neil's story.

Tanner Titan (Titan) - is part of an elite team of naval specialists, who puts his life on the line for his fellow ‘brothers’ above himself every time.

Dr. Laurie O’Neil (Doc) - a surgeon who was raised in the military life, her father being enlisted, so she knows the life. Now a single mum, is strong, independent and takes no cr@p!

Titan has always had an attraction to Doc and unbeknownst to him she has felt the same for much longer, though situations took them on different paths. Fast forward to present day and Titan still has feelings for Doc but won’t pursue her as her daughter is Will’s - one of his best friends, who was part of the same elite team, but who died in a tragic accident while in training, plus Titan is an alpha dog who doesn’t do relationships!

When a mission in a war zone goes very bad, very quickly and Titan’s ‘helo’ goes down, Shadow’s refuses to leave him behind and goes down after him, getting him out, but not without consequences.

Due to him being the stubborn ass that he is and with Doc knowing the team, Titan’s Commander asks her to travel to the German hospital he was recovered to, to treat him and try and convince him to fight and do what’s needed - this will be the hardest ‘mission’ he’s faced to date.

Can the connection the two of them have, be enough to make Titan change his mind and fight this ‘battle’?

Their story takes many twists and turns and as MJ writes with such emotion, so much so that you feel their pain, their confusion, their frustration and their love, that you can’t wait to see where their story goes - I couldn’t put it down!

Can they can get their HEA? You won’t be disappointed in buying the book to find out

I voluntarily Reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book, but was so good I still bought it!

[Sarah N · Rating 4 out of 5]

Titan by M.J. Fields is the third book in the Norfolk series and can be read as a standalone. If you’re looking for a military romance that will pull at your heart strings and swoon for days, then you’ve certainly found your next read in Titan. This story is emotionally compelling, infused with intrigue, comedy, heat for days, and enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.

This hot, and alpha flyboy won’t settle down for anything. Tanner Titan has his friends, his rituals, and his undying love for his country, and that’s all he needs. All he’ll allow for himself. He’s seen enough, and doesn’t want to chance the very real reality he might not return home to someone. After a mission alters his life forever, the one woman he’s tried to forget is brought to the forefront of his life. Thinking he’d still be able to deny their connection after trying to get her out of his system is even more impossible now. As a doctor, Laurie is independent, strong, and caring, and with the help of her sweet and spunky daughter, Calee, she handles Titan like a pro.

I absolutely loved the chemistry and connection between the main characters, as well as the plot. There were a few areas where I found it a little tough to connect the dots, but not enough to retract from the overall story. The element of family ties throughout the book was entirely enjoyable, and besides the romance, my favorite theme in this read. Immerse yourself in this steamy military romance today! You won’t be sorry you did. Enjoy xo

[Jodi Bird (Ruby Red Romance Review) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every time I read a book by M.J. Fields, I think she can't top her last book, but she proves me wrong every time. Titan just might be my favorite character yet. Tanner Titan has been through hell and back. He's facing a decision that could end his career. Tanner is strong. He's seen things that no one should see. He's done things that no man should do, but in the end, he's a good man. He's an honorable man. When he does his best to push everyone away, there is one person who won't let him do that. Dr. Laurie O'Neil. I loved her courage. I loved her strength, but most of all I loved that she was not afraid of Tanner and his anger.

I loved the heart in this story. I loved the fight. I loved the spirit of this story. I loved falling in love with Laurie and Tanner. I loved learning more of the backstory with these characters. I loved watching Laurie and Tanner become each other's world. I loved Tanner's heart and Laurie's take no crap attitude.

This story was more than I bargained for. It was a story that made me look at this series with new eyes. It made me fall in love again with all these amazing characters. It made me want to find a Tanner, then I remembered I already have a Tanner. I loved getting to see everything through M.J.'s words. Please check out this amazing book...you may also find a great character who touched my heart so incredibly much!

Titan is Book 3 in author MJ Fields' Norfolk Series. This is Tanner Titan and Laurie O' Neil's story.
Titan belongs to an elite group that live to serve and protect his country. He doesn't do relationships, only one night stands. But deep down he secretly longs for the one woman who he know will complete him- Laurie but things can never be because she was had gotten together with one of his best friends, had a child and his best friend died due to a tragic accident that took him away forever. Now things between Laurie and him are sort of distant. They are that way until he is injured and Laurie ( Doc) comes to take care of him and get him back on his feet. The chemistry and connection between them is sensational. The sparks are insanely high. But this bitter alpha hero isn't so willing to let this sassy and strong woman help him so what does she do? Bring in her sweet and beautiful child to get this alpha man back on his feet. There's no way he would resist this.
The story moves at a good flow, great characters and tons of feels along with twists and turns that you didn't see coming. Great read!!!


My Rating: 4.5 stars *******

[Theresa Natole · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another amazing read by MJ Fields. Her stories just keep getting better and better. You fall in love with these characters from the first word. Such emotion written in every word. You feel their pain, their sorrow, their love and their happiness. Although all these men are all tied together they each have their own separate story. Titan and Laurie have known each other for a while. They were definitely attracted to one another. The night they all met Titan was the first one she was attracted to. Even though she did not end up with him but with Will instead that attraction was always there. Now that Will is gone she is free to admit to these feelings. Titan is in the hospital and the only one to get through to him is Laurie. He refuses any and all medication until Laurie gets to Germany and goes to the hospital to see him. He too has feelings for her. They shared the night before he left on this mission but now that he is back and injured he doesn't want anything to do with her because of his injury. He doesn't want pity. But I think once Calee was introduced oh boy he didn't stand a chance with these two ladies. Calee is absolutely adorable and her acceptance of him is heartwarming. Grab your tissues when these two are together. She wraps herself around his heart and never lets go. It is only a matter of time he will be drawn into Laurie's as well. I absolutely love these two. They make the perfect couple. Theirs is a story that will warm your heart and never let go.

Although i've read a lot of MJ fields books this is the first I've read in this series.

I really enjoyed this book Tanner Titan never wants to settle down and doesn't spend more than 1 night with a Female.
Laurie with a 3 year old to look after and her partner Wills death hasn't had sex in a looong time.
The 2 of them have always had a mutual attraction to one another and when they bump into each other in a bar agree to spend just 1 night together, no falling in Love.
If only it were that easy.
When Titan gets injured on a mission him being a stubborn arse and worried about his brother in arms Shadow, Laurie is the only doctor he will let help him.
Can Laurie her cute daughter Calee and the Syrian girl Tanner saved pull him out of his pity party and realise life is worth living and that hes got a lot of people who love and need him.

The only issue I had with having not read the previous book in the series was I got a bit confused by who Deveraux was in the beginning, aside from this point the book could probably be read as a stand alone especially where Tanners friends are concerned I dont think I need to read their books to relate with them in this book however I have downloaded Irons and will be reading the whole series.

[Bel · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a ride! Titan, the alpha flyboy who was content on never settling down as his only love was saved for serving his country. All that changes when he is re-united with Doc, a woman who he had always tried to stay away from because she was the mother of a beautiful little four year old girl and fathered by one of his best friends, who was no longer around to be with them due to a tragic accident that took him away forever.

When Titan is injured on a mission, Doc comes to the rescue in more ways than one. They form a bond with a casualty of war that stopped my heart and made me cry big fat ugly tears. As their relationship grows and Titan grows closer to Laurie and her daughter Calee, he comes to the realisation that sometimes the most important thing in life is surrounding yourself in love, as there is nothing more powerful to heal a broken body and mind than being around those you love.

Another amazing military story, full of heart, humor and plenty of hot alpha romance! I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

[E · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve been waiting for this book to be released and it was everything I could have imagined and more! Tanner is book #3 in the series, but equally could be a standalone. Loved Irons (book#1), loved Shadows (book#2) and Tanner (book#3) was an absolutely awesome read. Tanner Titan is tall, dark, handsome, and the ultimate alpha male. He’s a military man through and through, he’s sworn to protect and serve its people, and that’s what he does. The brotherhood he’s part of has survived death and injury, it’s actually brought them closer together. He doesn’t believe a happy ever after is in his future even though things are falling into place for those around him. He finally experiences a level of attraction to someone unlike anything he’s felt before, but this is with someone completely off limits to him. These feelings are mutual and then one night lines are crossed. Almost immediate tragedy strikes. No one could predict just how it would end, least of all themselves. Somehow along the way the attraction they felt morphed into actual deep feelings. There are moments in life that change them forever, and this is one of them...

Titan

I was anxiously awaiting this book to release. I loved how cocky and confident Titan was in the first two Norfolk books and needed to know how his story ended. And it did not disappoint.

Titan is smart, brilliant really but when he decides to put off an operation it could be one of his dumbest decisions. I couldn’t fathom why he would do this when it first was happening in the previous book but once I got to see what was in his head I understood.

Laurie has been through so much and the pull to Titan is strong. Can she keep him at an arms length to protect herself and her daughter from another heartbreak or will Titan step up and be who he really can be, the whole package?

I loved the banter between these two and I love their backstory. It broke my heart for what they were trying to do and save. These two deserve all the happiness but life keeps getting in the way.

I really loved each standalone in this series. Amazing job MJ Fields!

[Chris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Titan is the third book in MJ Fields Norfolk Series and if you love stories with hot, alpha military men then this is a book you should definitely take a chance on.
Titan and Laurie have history that intertwined but neither have ever crossed a line to pursue anything that they may have felt, but now it’s their time. He is commanding, loyal and stubborn! She is the perfect combination of sweet and feisty and knows how to put up with his moods and as a single mother she comes as a package with her young, adorable daughter, Calee that opens up Titan’s heart even more.
This story is topped off with the perfect amount of intrigue to keep the pages turning which makes this book a fantastic read!

MJ Fields I don’t know what I would do without your beautiful writing. 🙌🏻 As much as I LOVED Jaxson and Sawyer I knew Tanner Titan was going to steal the show. ❤️ This book will give you all the feels plus more. 🥰

This book is just an amazing ending to this series. You finally get how it all ties together. I totally did not expect some of how this story unfolded. This book had me HOOKED! I honestly couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.

Titan and Laurie are so beautiful together and sweet little Calee is the icing on the cake. There is no way one could read this book without being all in their feelings. Job well done👏🏻👏🏻

[KDRBCK · Rating 5 out of 5]

Titan by MJ Fields is book three in her Norfolk series. Every book can be read as standalone. The previous books are Irons books 1-3 and Shadows.
Tanner Titan is the alpha who puts alpha in alphamale. He has high selfesteem, is a stubborn man who avoids relationships at all costs.
Laurie O'Neil is a strong heroine, a single mother and they have known each other for a long time. All the men and women are connected somehow. And when Titan gets wounded at his last mission and Laurie becomes his doctor both have a long way to go. Their attraction is strong and through the roof high. But what to do with a bitter and stubborn alpha? Only he hasn't a stand against this determined woman and her adoreable sidekick.
Titan is a fantastic read. Tanner found his match in the two females, and Laurie gets her so hard earned and well deserved HEA. Titan is an emotiónal read that had me on the dge of my seat. I loved the story, the characters and the excellent writing. I give 5 stars.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was another amazing read!! Titan was more than what I expected especially with his alpha ways to be melted by 3 year old Calee. Laurie was a strong character in that she was tough when needed but had compassion when no one was looking or thought was looking especially Titan. Together, they were a great couple that had chemistry that was off the charts as they both dealt with the card that fate had given them - Laurie being a single mother after Will's death and her trust issues and Titan with his dealings with Will's death, the events that took place before his accident as well as the accident itself and the monumental changes to his life. I was hooked on their story from the start and there were a few twists in it that I did not see but overall it was a beautiful story that I could not get enough of. I recommend this book as well as the series to others.

[Jeanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really love this series. Titan only has time for the family he made of friends and his work. Relationships are not something he is willing to do with the job he has. His most recent one-night hookup is not with a stranger and they both can't seem to stop wanting more. There are a lot of things thrown at them, both personally and professionally, throughout the story. There is a lot going on with overcoming in both past and present, physically and mentally. A really great read.

[Cassandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been waiting forever for this book. Damn Titan wouldn’t give his story up for nothing. But it was worth it. I think Titan has stolen my heart. I already want more. Tanner Titan is not what I expected at all. He was always so mysterious but he surprised me. I didn’t see the twist that came either. Thank you Titan for finally opening your mouth to MJ for this amazing story.

MJ tore me apart with this release. I am a huge fan and this book did me in. This book has it all the good the bad and ugly cry! I loved it. It pulls your heartstrings thru the whole book. Definitely a must read by all.

[Meagan Louviere · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tanner Titan is the embodiment of loyalty, honor, brotherhood and patriotism all rolled into one. He is cocky and an ass at times but you can't help but love him anyway. He has met his match in Laurie O'Neil. She is exactly what he he needs even if he doesn't think so at first. Titan's story definitely has its ups and downs but it's a wonderful roller coaster ride.

[Catherine Wright (Cat's Guilty Pleasure) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another amazing story from MJ. I loved this one so much, it was so emotional and full of love. Titan was such an alpha male, but so lovable. Laurie was so strong and independent. These two kind of clashed but they made hot and funny. Now Calee stole the show, she was hilarious. I can't wait for more.

[Veronica LaRoche · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely love TITAN. Another amazing read that I couldn’t put down. I love the chemistry between Laurie & Titan and of course Calee is absolutely adorable. This book will definitely give you all the feels and the ending was absolutely perfect. Another 5 Star read that everyone must read.

Titan is one pain in the butt stubborn man. Laurie is one strong amazing woman. Calee is one amazing little girl. Loved the bond Laurie and Calee have.
Could not wait to see who would win the stand off with there will. Titan saying one thing and Laurie saying another. They both knew how to push each other’s buttons. They make for one amazing unbreakable couple.
