River James: Rockers of Steel Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 440 ratings

When he fell in love, he fell hard. When he lost her, he lost his will.

Drugs, sex, and rock and roll—in that order—became his life.
River James, the drummer for Steel Total Destruction, loved the brotherhood he formed with his unlikely best friend, the band mates from Steel Total Destruction, and the family he found in his label, Forever Four.
Then one tragic accident takes it all away in the blink of an eye. Twisted metal, shattered bones, crushed dreams, and torn wreckage causes deep, dark secrets to be revealed. One collision causes him to lose all hope, with no one but himself to blame.
Now facing harsh realities, which have never been one of River’s strengths, he turns to the sure things in life: drugs and women who oh so willingly give themselves to a tall, dark, and tattooed rocker like him.
Will he find himself in the wreckage of twisted metal and crushed dreams? Or will he lose his way in the smoke and debris?

The first person in her family to graduate from high school and college, Keanna Sutton is flying high on her accomplishments and hard work. She has the career and man of her dreams … or so she thought until she finds out he is cheating on her. Ending the relationship, she begins rebuilding her shattered self-esteem.
Then a chance run-in with a tall, dark, and handsome, silver-tongued drummer tests her strength and ability to hold her own tongue while trying to ignore the implausible attraction to a man she knows will be no good for her.
Now a second run in at O’Donnell’s pub while under the influence of drink, music, friends, and a fight makes Keanna throw caution to the wind, and she finds herself getting rocked the only way a badass like River can: hard and nasty.
Will the hottest night of her life end there? Or will she lose herself in a man who gives no promises except the lady always comes first?

Review

"Wow I'm not sure where to start. River James was a very heartbreaking, intense, emotional read for me. To many feeling were brought out by this book. I wanted to slap the hell out of River sometimes, then I wanted to hug him. At some point I wanted to throw my Kindle. Also laughed because yeah River maybe an @$$ but he's got a great sense of humor. 5 stars" ~ Southern Babes Book Blog
"Gritty, raw and chokingly real... River is flawed. Hurt. Tormented. This was my first Fields novel, but it won't be my last - this book isn't glossy or fluffy but rather a rough and fierce look at believable characters who are beautifully flawed. 5 stars" ~ Obsessed With Myshelf "Hot, sexy, steamy... add real and deep and emotion gripping" ~ Helen atBOMBB proudly gives this book 5 Quacks! "I knew I was going to love River's story and loved it so much more than I thought possible...cocky rockstar...but his confidence and blatant sexual attitude...outstanding job of discussing topics that were dark and sad, but delivering it in a way that the story didn't get weighed down..5 stars." ~Marie-NMSTblog "This is one of the best Rocker series I have ever read- They are sexy, gritty & dirty without apology. River James is not "just a drummer"... 5 stars." ~ KaraLovesBooks "River was just as crazy as I had hoped and was so dang sexy in the bedroom. 5 stars." ~ Rachel at Bestie Book Blog "I couldn't get enough of this book. I wanted more and more... Yes, I am a huge fan of MJ Fields love her books, but she outdid her self on this one.. It is by far my favorite.. River stands out! He is and always will be my favorite.. I don't know how she is going to surpass this man." ~ Bookworm

Title: River James Series: Rockers of Steel #3 Author: MJ Fields Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: January 31, 2016 MJ Fields is one of my favorite authors I was excited to get a chance to review River James this is the 3rd book in the Rockers of Steel Series. This story held me transfixed from start to finish, I couldn't put it down and read it in 2 days. Every chapter drew me in more than the previous. The story had me sad, laughing, smiling and blushing all the way to the end of the book. I liked how the story flowed and how it keeps you reading to find out what is going to happen next. I liked the POV between the characters it was entertaining and enjoyable. River and Keanna's interactions are very hot, steamy and fun to read. River James is a broken, dirty mouthed, hot as all hell drummer for the band Steel Total Destruction. After an horrific accident his carreer hangs in the balance and the past won't stay in the past. He has ways to help him forget but they are only temporary. After a brief lets just call it an encounter with someone he didn't know was going to turn his life around in the physical therapy waiting room. Then we meet Keanna, who is dealing with her own personal issues. Issues she struggles with every day. Keanna is a wonderful heroine and she really has the most perfect attributes. She has overcome her obstacles with grace and a fiery determination. She allows herself to love but she keeps her strong sense of independence. There are warnings with this book there is Sexual and physical abuse is touched on in this book.I think Mj Fields has another hit on her hands with this one. This whole series was great and very captivating.

    River James how I love thee.
    Wow!!!! I'm hooked I'm in love and I'm cheating on Finn, I'm sorry but I can't stress enough how much River worked my heart and grabbed me hook line and sinker.

    MJ Fields you are brilliant, every book I read of yours grabs me and doesn't let me go and let me tell you this book is definitely my favorite. I was so hesitant about River in previous books , I didn't know how to read him but my heart broke for him learning what he endured in his past and how he survived now we know and see why he dealt with life the way he did and also on top of this his accident that halts his playing and the hate he held in for his best friend Finn wow just wow you really need to read this and feel really feel I cried for River I also wanted to b**** slap , him and yes I laughed so hard at things he does and says with that no filter to brain mouth of his and let's not forget that hot as sin filthy dirty sexy talk omgggg swoon.

    Keanna Sutton is a beautiful and determined girl just out if a bad relationship when she meets this sexy dirty mouth drummer and her life is turned upside down in an instant. Determined to be strong but like River she is dealing with a past together these two are on fire but Keanna is strong she will not let River bring her down and watching these two work towards moving forward is a journey like no other, MJ you were right on spot when you paired these two together there isn't two more suited for each other.

    I can't recommend this book enough I'm hooked I love the guys from STD and it was great how we get to read about them in here and now I'm greedy for more bring on Billy cause I know we will be in for another treat.

    This is the third book in the Rockers of Steel series. I was not sure how I was going to feel about it after what happened with Finn Beckett. In fact I was pretty sure that I was going to be throwing my kindle at the wall pretending it is River's head. I read the author's note from MJ in the beginning about what to expect and it confirmed for me that I would be throwing my kindle at the wall pretending it is River's head. I am more than happy to admit that I fell in love with the flawed man that is River James. There were still times I wanted to throw my kindle but not so much at his head as much as just passed him to get his attention and make him realize what he was doing to himself. I think he and Keanna were made for each other. I loved how even when he pissed her off she still was always on his side. This is a difficult book to read for the reasons MJ mentions in the beginning, but still read it because it is so worth it. I am glad that I decided to give it and River a chance because this book is my favorite of the series so far!!!! One-click it today!!!!

    This book was hard to read, it was how I imagined a rock stars life, sex, drugs and rock and roll. I have never had a drug problem but the way M.J. Fields wrote this I could believe it. In my opinion it felt like she had experienced someone with a drug problem. She did throw in some humor with Tinkerbell involved. Didn't like River much, but he did redeem himself some what at the end. I came to appreciate his struggle to get things under control. I liked Keanna and the fact she didn't take any crap. In my opinion she just got stronger. In my opinion she made River stronger. In my opinion the sex was rough and raw in a rock star way.

    Way to go River!!!

    While I didn’t care for him much in Finn, he really changed my option of him in this book. I wanted to cry for the little boy who lost so much and hold him while he fought his inner demons as a man. I was a little apprehensive going into this book as I didn’t know how MJ Fields would spin River's story. I was completely blown away this book. Mostly by how much pain and suffering River had to endure as a child. No person should have to live through the hell he did.

    Keanne, Wow what a strong determined woman she is. She was a great choice for River’s love interest. Its not very often that I read books with strong women in them. It always seems like they are meek and timid which Keanne is anything but that. And Tink. Loved the interactions between River and her.

    I absolutely love MJ, she is an amazing writer and every story just gets better and better. She will completely captive you from the very first page.

    Love the Steels. All the men of Steel books and now the Rockers of Steel are brilliant! MJ writes so flawlessly and keeps the story fun and sexy. River is one of my new favorite characters, he is smart and hilarious and talented as hell. But, like all the guys in STD, he has a past that haunts him. He has for years self medicated to drive off his demons and try to sleep without nightmares. Since three of his band brothers are now settled down with their soul mates, he is the lone party hard member. River meets Keeana and he knows he has met his match. She entices him with her sexy beauty and her strong personality. She also has a past she tries to forget. Keeana is a nurse and her bf is a physical therapist that is treating River after an accident that almost ends his drumming career. While waiting for his appointment, he and Keeana strike up a conversation of sorts. More like River comes on to her with his dirty mouth!! It's a long road, Momma Jo Steel is involved, and River finally gets some help. Read the book, it is wonderful. Can't wait for more!!!

    Wow just Wow MJ Fields has totally rocked this one out of the park, River James sexy bad boy drummer of STD (Steel Total Destruction) likes to chase the high, he uses it as a mask to hide behind but what happens when his world comes crashing down around him, friendships strained, career possibly in danger, and his past is catching up with him.

    Keeana Sutton has just come out of a relationship and is determined to be the strong independent woman her Grandmother raised her to be focusing on her job and making new friendships but a nightout with friends has her running into the sexy bad boy that is River James.

    These two take us on a journey of highs, lows, love, destruction, laugh out loud moments and lets not forget Rivers filthy mouth you wont believe your ears, we also get to hear from the rest of STD and of cause no MJ book is complete without Momma Joe so that's where I leave it with my heart being torn between these sexy guys of STD Memphis Black held it first then Finn Beckett came along and stole his spot but now we have River James and its beating all over the place.

    I personally cannot wait to read these again whilst we wait for Billy's story, I'm sure my heart will be breaking all over gain when we get this but MJ certainly gives us books that keep us returning for more.
