I love all of the Steel books!! Keep them coming.
Oh these Steel men will forever STEAL my heart!! Patrick has seriously always been one of my favorites of the 2nd generation and really getting to know his character was AMAZING! The story behind Patrick and Savvy is so utterly sweet. Hang on to find out exactly how much these two are made for each other!
Tricked Steel what an amazing guy. Love Patrick Steel. Although, he is not my favorite steel crew member, I do love him. He is like any and all of the Steel men, when he knows what he wants, that is what he wants. I love reading the stories to see how all of the Steel kids are ending up. The Steel family is one of my absolute favorites!!! I love seeing the next generation coming along. Patrick and Savvy is no different. Although this story is not for everyone. It does have it ups and down. It has not been my favorite story but still a great read for me. Savvy has had her issues throughout the years. She has a hard time trusting people. But she finds her self being attracted to Patrick from the start. Not something that she is use too. Patrick is attracted to her from GO!!. Like all the Steel Series, it sucked me in and ad me from the start. I had a hard time putting it down, I wanted to see what was going to happen next.
Savvy isn’t especially fond of guys, especially rich entitled guys. So when she meets Patrick “Tricks” Steel one night at the coffeeshop where she works, and he and his friends are obnoxious and completely chauvinistic, she really, really is not impressed. He, however has the opposite of Savvy’s reaction, and is smitten, big time. Too bad for him she wants nothing to do with him.
But of course, the two somehow become friends I guess you could call it, even though it’s obvious both want more than friendship from each other. It’s just that she has issues, lots of issues, and having a relationship is the last thing she thinks she has time for. Will she and Patrick ever be on the same page at the same time?
First off, I have to say that I wanted to love this story because the blurb sounds amazing. Unfortunately, I just could not get into it. I guess I didn’t connect with Patrick and Savvy and didn’t particularly like either of them. I like the tension between them, and I like that Savvy was searching for herself, but the rest just did not work for me. And the abrupt, rushed ending just did me in. I absolutely could not rate it higher than 3 stars after that ending.
4.5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. I literally couldn’t put it down. A book hangover was the result because sleep is overrated right? Patrick and Savvy are going to steal your hearts in this one. Patrick has moved into number on my list for the second generation of Steels. This book hit me right in the heart. It has plenty of heart. If anyone needs to part of the Steel Crew it’s Savvy. She could use the closeness and the loyalty they have. Savvy’s story is one that hits you right in the heart. A lot of soul searching for her. It’s a book that is going suck you right in and you won’t want to come up for air until you’re finished. Every time I read a book with the Steel Crew I fall a little more in love with them! a must read!
This book like many others of M.J. Fields’s books had my emotions all over the place!!
Patrick is in my opinion the main one that holds the crew together. He is also very compassionate and like all the Steel men a true alpha.
Savvy is a very compassionate woman. She is also a very complicated one at that with a lot of baggage.
These two together are very complicated and have a lot to work through. Will they be able to make their differences work?
Overall, I can say that this was by far one of my top reads of not just M.J.’s but of the year.
Tricked Steel is book 5 in Steel Crew series by M.J. Fields. This is Patrick “Tricks” & Savvy’s story.
Before Tricks started Seashore Academy with his “crew”, he met Savvy. She was this free spirit and people misunderstood her which made her really not as tough or as strong as she came across. Of course, Tricks wanted to be her friend. And he wants to invite her into his group so she knows she’ll be safe and have someone.
This story is such a beautiful romance of friendship to romance. Of course this story wouldn’t be complete without the twists but that just added to the romance. This is so good. Savy and Tricks complimented each other which is what good couples do. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.
My Rating: 4.5 stars ********
Patrick (tricks) Steel is the person everyone in the family goes to for help and advice. He’s the Crew glue!
When he meets Savvy he is smitten as she puts him in his place and doesn’t chase after him like all the other girls. She has fire and spirit and at first seems like a true man hater, but tricks breaks down her barriers and she is soon as in love with him as he is her.
I loved these characters and the story was fast paced and I couldn’t put it down. I loved the fact that Xavier, Taelyn and STD made an appearance.
Fantastic story that I didn’t want to end.
Tricks aka Patrick Steel is Xavier and Taelyn’s (aka Irish) son. If you have read the previous releases in this second generation Steel ‘Crew’ series you’ll know he’s the ‘go to’ guy in the family, the one they go to for help or advice, so it’s interesting to see where his book takes us.
Tricks is an amazing funny guy who has a heart of gold and when he meets Savvy (aka Savannah) he’s immediately got his work cut out for him.
Savvy who you will come to understand does have her issues as well as a determined spirit, but is actually quite fragile as well. Despite her learned image on what and who she should be, she is attracted to Tricks and seeing the grow and evolve does give you the feels, but there are definitely hurdles they have to get over.
The added bonus being we do get some scenes with the original ’Steel’s’ and Xavier still makes me LOL
You won’t be tricked into reading this book, as yet again another AMAZING READ!!! #Forever Steel
Patrick “Tricks” Steel is the son of Xavier and Taelyn from Men of Steel. He’s the guy that’s always there for his Crew. Whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or if someone needs a laugh he’s the guy, the one the holds the “Crew” together.
Savvy “Savannah” Sutton is a girl who attends Seashore Academy and is independent, hates guys, and most of all misunderstood.
Savvy thinks Patrick is some rich entitled boy and he’s out to prove Savvy wrong. She’s attracted to him. Patrick sees Savvy and is totally taken with her at first sight. We’ll see Patrick help take Savvy’s walls down and open up. Some are funny moments and some moments will have you in tears.
This book has all the feels for you. You hear from all the Men of Steel dads and they will have you laughing as usual. This is an absolute must read.
Tricks…. You think he’s just looking for fun. He’s too busy with his ‘Crew’ for anything else. But when he see’s Savvy everything in his world changes. Savvy hates men, and entitled people. Thats 2 strikes against Tricks from the beginning. Tricks decides to make it his mission to at least become friends with Savvy. Savvy is determined to not allow Tricks to get to her. But he keeps breaking down her walls. When they finally decide to give in to all of the sparks and feelings between them, everything in Savvy’s life changes yet again.
This is another great book by MJ Fields. I love the peeks of the other Steel Crew kids, and the original Steel boys! I mean what more can you ask for? Amazing read!
3.5 Stars
These guys are the gifts that keep on giving and I will never tire of reading about them. I have went back and forth deciding on my rating and although I enjoyed the story the ending was a let down for me.
I love this crazy bunch of characters and how they stick together I love how the bond has been passed onto the kids and the relationship they have as a family. I enjoyed reading about Patrick and Savvy and the way their differences drew them together. Patrick was funny charming and very confident in himself. I took awhile to warm up to Savvy as I wasn’t really sure what to make of her but she slowly grew on me the more we learn. They are defintely one complicated duo but that makes them fun to get to know. I enjoyed the twists and turns in the story as it kept it interesting.
There is a relevation that happens very late on in the book that changes the course of everything. The last three chapters of the book for me are pivotal but it all felt so rushed and I feel like the characters deserved more there is a whole chunk of time and experiences that wasn’t explained and I wanted to know.
Another amazing read by MJ Fields. Partick is the glue for the crew. He loves and protects his own. When he meets Savvy there is an instant something he feels for her. He accepts that they can just be friends, for now, but she is now included with those who he protects and loves.
Savvy doesn’t let anyone in. She hates men but for some reason lets Patrick in. The relationship they develop is strong and like nothing she has ever experienced. I loved how their bond grew into love. He never pressured her to feel anything for him. He accepted her for who she was and gave her time to find herself. Through it all he was always there for her. A beautiful romance that started as friends and developed into a love they never knew they would find with each other.
Savvy and Patrick were made for each other, she needed someone to have patience with her and show here what a real man was and he needed to have someone want to be with him for who he was not what he could give them. This is my favorite in the next generation books. Loved every word of it!!
Tricked Steel, book 5 in the Steel Crew series is my favorite of the series and has truly grabbed my heart! I have been a long time fan of the Steel family and love this second generation of characters just as much!
Patrick is simply a good guy befriending the girl who hangs around the perimeter of the school social circles and offers her his friendship. He was raised to have a big, caring heart and it is so evident in this story!
Savvy is passionate, independent, stubborn and a tough nut to crack but she keeps so much of her true self hidden from others and now Patrick is bringing some of those walls down. They have a connection that has just grown stronger as Patrick works to show Savvy what it means to have a friend and someone who truly cares.
These characters and this story really spoke to my heart and I enjoyed every part from the beginning to the end.
An Absolutely Amazing Romance .
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Tricked Steel . This is my honest thoughts . I loved reading this story . This is the emotional an heart wrenching journey of Patrick
(Tricks ) Steel and Savvy Sutton . It’s not rainbows and roses . It’s raw and rough and real . It’s beautifully written . The story pulls you in from the start and holds you . I found myself holding my breath and praying for a happy ending . I suggest tissues . I love the Steel family . I laughed and cried and felt . I highly recommend taking the time to read . Forever Steel !
I received a free copy of this book.
I enjoyed this book. It runs concurrently with previous books in the series. Trick is a great character. He deals with Savvy the best way he can, which is really well for the most part. Savvy is a militant feminist that needs to find her way because she has herself stuck. Her real past isn’t known until almost the end. The last few chapters have some really abrupt endings and happenings that are startling, but Trick keeps pushing until the end.
I have enjoyed Ms. Field’s work for a long time and I this book did not disappoint. Not only have I loved Ms. Field’s work, but I love the Steel family as well and this series gives me this opportunity to catch up with the old and new crew. So in this addition, we get Patrick’s story and I’ve got to say, what a story it was.
Patrick or Tricks we have seen pieces of in the other books in this series and now we get his whole picture. He was the character that is always there for everyone in his circle. He has such a great heart and a big heart that shows through out this whole book. I enjoyed watching him fall for Savvy and seeing his patience as he waited for her to open up to him. He turned out to be the perfect mix his parents, Xavier and Taelyn and I loved seeing the brief interactions that he had with them in this book as well.
Savvy. Where to start with Savvy?? She was such a strong character that started out knowing where she stood with her beliefs on the world while lost in her past. She had been wounded by circumstance and the wronged opinions of others. She is sassy and doesn’t trust others easily. She is the perfect match for Patrick.
Patrick and Savvy’s story happens at the same time as Kiki and Brand’s, Truth and Tobia’s and Justice and Gabriella’s story so some of the events were just tipped upon since they were part of the other’s story. I liked the interactions between the cousins but I was disappointed that we didn’t see more of their HEA at the end of their story but I guess can we every say that the story is every over? We get a glimpse of what is to come in future series with Trias and her story as we know some of the story already.
I was sorry to see this story end as I have felt with all the others in this series. I look forward to seeing what happens next with this new generation of Forever Steel. I was hooked on the story and I recommend this book as well as the others in this series to others.
OMG! My heart melted for Patrick & Savvy! There were times the tears just poured out of my eyes and not because I was sad. It was for beautiful & surprising moments. Tricks is a Steel through & through…Plays hard until he finds his “MINE” and he fights hard to get and keep them. Savvy’s definitely not what she first appears to be and Tricks sees deep into who she is before she even knows. MJ this is another amazing second generation story and as always getting more of the original Steel’s is always pure pleasure! Such a great addition to the series! #foreversteel
This Second Generation Of Steel is just as Fantastic as the first. Patrick “Tricks” Steel he is the only son of Xavier & Irish and he turned out to be one Amazing Guy.
Always looking out for his crew, always being there for his family but the day he meets Savvy Sutton there is something about her that totally intrigues him.
Savvy Sutton is a young girl who most certainly has her issues but she is also someone who could be misunderstood. Savvy is strong on so many levels but she also is fragile too. When she meets Patrick she can’t help being attracted to him and her walls slowly crumble to let him in.
Watching the relationship between the two of them come together gives you all the feels, there will be some heartbreaking moments but definitely many heartwarming ones too.
If you loved The Steel Men and their stories you most definitely will want to meet all of their children and how Fantastic each and everyone of them has turned out. (
