The first time we met, I was rescuing her from a cult.

The second time I laid eyes on her was when she showed up at Cerberus with a secret, asking me for an unthinkable favor.What she was offering was something I never thought I could have, so I readily agreed.

I wanted more than just her secret though.

How can I convince my wife to fall in love with me when someone else is threatening to take it all away?

REVIEW:APOLLO is the eighteenth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is US Marine, Nate ‘Apollo’ Fosse, and April Gibson’s story line. APOLLO can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. April Gibson is Cara Gibson’s sister (THUMPER).

Told from dual first person perspectives (April and Nate), APOLLO follows in the aftermath of our heroine’s rescue and relocation from a cult but all is not well in April Gibson’s life. Pregnant and homeless, April seeks out the Cerberus MC, her sister Cara, and ultimately Nate ‘Apollo’ Fosse, the man with whom April will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between April and Nate, and the potential fall-out as April’s past demands everything and more.

April Gibson knew her life would never be ‘normal’ but never expected to get pregnant by her high school sweetheart, or find herself homeless when her ultra-conservation, very religious grandparents saw nothing more than an act of sin. With no place to go, April headed to the Cerberus MC clubhouse, hoping to convince Nate to marry her, in an effort to allow her child to be born without sin. Nate Fosse never expected to fall in love, and definitely ensured he would never have kids but when April offered up her hand in marriage, Nate jumped at the chance to help a young woman who has never known love or safety in her life.

The relationship between Nate and April begins as a marriage of convenience that quickly sours when April is unable to look beyond Nate’s previous relationships. Trusting her new husband is difficult with his reputation as a bit of a manwh*re, but believing in herself is much more difficult and harder than she can imagine. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several of the previous story line couples or characters. We are re-introduced to attorney Faith Robbins, as well as April’s ex-boyfriend Cory Clark.

APOLLO is a story of family and relationships, friendships, determination, acceptance and love. The premise is edgy; the romance is provocative and seductive-the sexual chemistry is palpable; the characters are flirty, broken and determined. My only complaint is the rapid one-eighty of our story line heroine-from innocent, naïve, awkward, recluse to a sexual kitten and flirty young woman.
