ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 2, 2024

There’s no shortage of victims in my work with the Cerberus MC.

When I first met Brielle Adair, she had just witnessed a family tragedy.

She was broken, betrayed, and terrified that her end was near.

She chose to curl up in a frightened ball in my closet, and I chose to let her stay there.

My own history told me not to force her to do anything. She had to make those decisions on her own.

In order to start healing, she had to trust me, but knowing the lifestyle she was raised in, I didn’t know if trusting her was the smart thing to do.

Does she really need our help, or is every tear and whimper a form of manipulation?

With the way I get lost in her pretty eyes, in the end, will it even matter?

••••••••

REVIEW: NEWTON is the thirty-first instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC romantic suspense series focusing on former US Marine Beck ‘Newton’ Keller and Brielle Adair. NEWTON can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers as the Cerberus MC ferret out and take down suspected human and sexual trafficking rings.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Brielle and Beck) NEWTON follows in the wake of the escape of our story line heroine from the men who had used and abused her for most of her life. Seeking refuge, Brielle discovers she is unable to remain in Ohio, and finds herself in Texas, at a women’s shelter protected by the Cerberus MC but one year later, Brielle’s past has discovered her whereabouts, and this threatens all of the women with whom she has grown close and loved. As the Cerberus MC quickly moves and relocates all of the women and children, Brielle finds herself under the protection of Beck ‘Newton’ Keller, the man with whom she will fall in love but Brielle continues to struggle with the ever present fear of being discovered, and the truth about what she was forced to do and why. What ensues is the building but tepid relationship between Brielle and Beck, and the potential fall-out when Brielle’s past returns forcing our heroine to reject the man that she loves.

The world building continues to focus on the Cerberus MC and their duty to protect the most vulnerable; to search and rescue those missing or lost; and to recover and return those unable to defend themselves.

The relationship between Brielle and Beck is trepidatious at best. Brielle is unable to trust Beck or any other person she encounter in her life, and in this, Brielle often secludes herself from everyone else. Days will pass before Brielle is able to acknowledge the man who is desperate to protect our story line heroine but Beck knows all to well the damage cause and inflicted by the people who were meant to love and protect. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include several members of the Cerberus MC Texas, as well as several law enforcement officials and agencies. The requisite evil has many faces.

NEWTON is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, good and evil, secrets and lies, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The premise is emotional and dramatic-at times I could not foresee a happily ever after for our story line couple ; the romance is heart breaking; the characters are broken but determined. NEWTON also introduces the start of a new spin-off series focusing on a new charter of the Cerberus MC in Tennessee with Hemlock.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 4, 2024

I told myself I’d never fall in love.

It just wasn’t the trajectory my life was going to take.

Maybe I should’ve read the fine print on that vow because not falling in love doesn’t mean no marriage.

I woke up with a gold band on my left hand and very few memories of how it got there.

Beth Moore needed an escape, and I needed one more night like we shared.

When she asked if she could come back to New Mexico with me, I opened my mouth to tell her that wouldn’t be a great idea but YES came out instead.

To save her the embarrassment of what we did, I played along.

Besides, no one falls in love after they get married.

That’s supposed to come first, and I told myself I’d never fall in love…

•••••••

REVIEW: ORACLE is the thirtieth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing the member of the Cerberus MC, all former members of the US Marines. This is Derrick ‘Oracle’ Lee, and high school teacher Beth Moore-Lee. ORACLE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. There is a slight cross-over with the author’s Blackbridge Security series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Oracle and Beth) ORACLE follows in the wake of the marriage between our story line couple. Derrick ‘Oracle’ Lee woke up to the woman he met the night before only to discover they were married, and he didn’t remember anything.Enter Beth Moore-Lee, the woman with whom Oracle would fall in love but Oracle needed to introduce Beth to the men with whom he served, and all does not go according to plan. Volunteering at a local women’s shelter Beth finds a place with the MC but our heroine struggles to follow directions, and places herself in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Derrick and Beth, and the potential fall-out as Beth struggles with her life in the MC, and a betrayal that threatens our story line heroine.

The world building continues to focus on the men and women at the Cerberus MC, their need and commitment to rescue the most vulnerable, and stop the evil that threatens the peace.

The relationship between Derrick and Beth begins as a spur of the moment wedding but Beth is keeping a secret, a secret she believes will threaten her future with our story line hero. Hoping Beth will acclimate to her new life with the Cerberus MC, Derrick suspects Beth may not be believe in a happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the couples and MC member we met in the the previous story lines. We are introduced to a young woman living at the women’s shelter Brielle.

ORACLE is a story of betrayal and revenge, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is passionate but struggles in the face of issues of trust and a fear of the unknown; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 26, 2023

Life changes in the blink of an eye.

One minute my best friend from childhood is alive and well and the next minute he and his wife are gone.

One minute I’m a single guy looking for fun, and the next I’m responsible for two little boys.

With those two little boys comes Mila, the aunt refusing to be cast aside although she wasn’t named their guardian. Secrets in my friend’s life come to light and with them danger and expectations from a very volatile motorcycle club.

I’d never leave the kids in that situation, the pawns in a retaliation scheme, but with them comes her .With her comes the reminder of the night we spent together three years ago and her own set of secrets she never thought would be disclosed.

••••

REVIEW: STORMY is the twenty-ninth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC romantic suspense series focusing on the members of the Cerberus MC- all former members of the US Marines. . This is former US Marine sharpshooter Vincent ‘Stormy’ Chilton, and single mother Mila Taylor’s story line. STORMY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. For fans of Marie James, there is a slight cross over with the inclusion of several characters from the author’s Blackbridge Security series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Vincent and Mila) STORMY follows in the after of the murder of Vincent ‘Stormy’ Chilton’s fellow US Marine Carlen and his wife Janet Clarke. Attending the funeral, Vincent will come face to face with Janet’s sister Mila, Vincent’s one-night stand from three years earlier but all is not well when Mila and Vincent will discover there is more to the murder than a random shooting, and as the appointed guardian to Carlen’s two surviving sons, Vincent knows it is time to bring Mila and the children back home where they belong. Mila Taylor is struggling with secrets of her own, and within a matter of hours, Vincent will discover that not only is he the sole guardian of two orphaned boys, but the father of a two year old daughter he knew nothing about. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Vincent and Mila, and the potential fall-out as the past refuses to let go, targeting Mila and the boys in the process.

The world building focuses on secrets and lies, and the protection of the new charges under Vincent’s care. With his new family in tow, Vincent embarks on a journey of several days, a journey that reveals more than he could have ever imagined.

The relationship between Vincent and Mila began as a one-night stand in which, Vincent had thought Mila would have made some form of contact. Mila had been struggling to support the child Vincent knew nothing about but with two more mouths to feed, Mila had reached rock bottom, and feared losing them all. As Mila and Vincent’s time together appeared to be more stable, the Cerberus MC round the proverbial wagons to protect the people they now called family and friends. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Cerberus MC and their significant others; several agents from Blackbridge Security, as well as Mila’s nephews Luca and Jace, and her mother Mrs. Taylor. The requisite evil has many faces. Oracle’s story is next.

STORMY is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, crime and punishment, forgiveness and love. The fast paced premise is enjoyable and dramatic but the conflict resolution was too quick and without any significant problems; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are desperate , determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 6, 2023

In the grand scheme of things five years isn’t a very long time.
It goes by in a blink, literally.
Waking up with no recollection of the last five years is devastating.
The woman I remember loving is with someone else.
The only family I had is gone, and I’m forced to relive those losses all over again.
I’m now a member of Cerberus, and I can’t even recall if I signed on to get Rivet back or if I got over her before joining.
I have no other choice but to cling to the woman hired to help me recover because she’s the only one that knows less about me than I do.
I was afraid of never getting my memory back, but the closer I get to her makes me terrified of what will happen if I do.

•••••

REVIEW:BISHOP is the twenty-seventh instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the members of the Cerberus MC- all former members of the US Marines. This is Brent ‘Bishop’ Porter, and nurses aide/single mother Sunshine Holt’s story line. BISHOP can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading UGLY book twenty-six for Bishop’s back story.

NOTE: If you have not read UGLY, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bishop and Sunshine) BISHOP follows in the aftermath of the attack by a serial killer against the Detective Lennox Maison (UGLY 26), leaving Brent ‘Bishop’ Porter fighting for his life. Approximately one month earlier, Bishop was working security when Lennox Maison was attacked, and our hero is in recovery at a local extended care home. In an effort to always keep someone on duty, the Cerberus MC hires nurses aide Sunshine Holt, a young woman whose own life is slowly imploding. Awakening from thirty days in a coma, Bishop has no memories from the previous five years but finds himself attracted to the familiarity of our story line heroine. Upon his release, Bishop continues to recover with the help of Sunshine Holt, the woman with whom Bishop will fall in love but all is not well in Sunshine’s life, when Bishop discovers our heroine is keeping a secret, he knows nothing about.

The world building focuses on Brent ‘Bishop’ Porter’s recovery, and regaining the memories of the previous five years. Struggling to understand the loss of the past, and to understand the memories of the present that no longer exist, Bishop finds himself falling for Sunshine Holt, the woman with a past that refuses to let go.

The relationship between Sunshine and Bishop begins as a job when Sunshine is hired to care for our story line hero. Throughout his recovery, Sunshine talks to Bishop about her life, a life Bishop begins to believe is part of his own. As Bishop’s health improves, Sunshine begins to believe she is no longer needed by the man with whom she is falling in love. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters include several members of the Cerberus MC including Legend and Faith, MC president Kincaid; Sunshine’s ex Travis, and her co-worker Rachel, as well as Bishop’s ex Angeline aka Rivet. All of the members of the Cerberus MC work together to help in Bishop’s recovery, and Sunshine’s ability to move on from her past.

BISHOP is a story of recovery, understanding and acceptance, addiction and trauma, family, friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic, determined, struggling but surviving.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 4, 2023

Hooking up with a cop was supposed to be fun.
How joking with Detective Lennox Maison about her handcuffs transformed into her actually arresting me was something I could’ve never predicted.
I thought it was a joke at first, but what kind of person would joke about the murder of a local woman?
Lennox claimed I was the last one to see her alive.
I should have an alibi. I should be able to tell them exactly what I was doing that night.
The truth is, I can’t remember, and that argument never holds up in court.
I manage to convince her that I’m innocent, only for it to happen again.
I not only have to worry about being falsely accused of murder, but now I have to worry if I’ve put Lennox in the crosshairs of a serial killer.

••••

REVIEW: UGLY is the twenty-sixth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the Cerberus MC, most of whom are former US Marines who aid and help those unable to help themselves. This is Sawyer ‘Ugly’ Maddox, and Detective Lennox Maison’s story line. UGLY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of UGLY cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events in book twenty-five BOOMER.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lennox and Ugly) UGLY follows in the aftermath of a sexual assault and murder, blamed on our story line hero. Detective Lennox Maison is a woman on a mission, and as the lead in the case, she is quick to finger Sawyer ‘Ugly’ Maddox as the guilty party but her inability to let go of the past and the murder of someone close, clouds her judgement in a possible case of a serial killer at work, as she continues to remain sexually involved with, and the police continue to point the finger at our story line hero. As Sawyer aka Ugly continues to help with the investigation, another murder places Ugly in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Ugly and Lennox, and the potential fall-out as Lennox may be compromised in her relationship with our story line hero.

Lennox Maison has struggle in the fifteen years since the murder of someone close. Every opportunity to continue the investigation is met with a dead end but Lennox is determined to prove that the recent string of murders may be connected to the past, a past long thought dead and gone. Sawyer ‘Ugly’ Maddox fell for Lennox the first time they met. A one-night stand ended when our heroine ghosted Sawyer Maddox but when suspicion points a finger at Sawyer, Lennox refuses to back down until the proof is revealed.

The relationship between Sawyer and Lennox begins as a one-night stand that quickly develops into a police investigation but our hero doesn’t remember the night of the first murder, and the second murder will quickly be pinned on the man with whom Lennox is falling in love. The investigation is now compromised with the relationship between Lennox and Sawyer but Lennox will be targeted by a ghost from the past. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my romance story line.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we have met in the previous story lines. Bishop was on security duty the night of the attack against our story line heroine, and he has yet to recover from his injuries. Bishop’s story is next.

UGLY is a story of madness, murder and mayhem, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and acceptance, forgiveness and growing love. The fast paced premise is gritty, intriguing and suspenseful; the romance is provocative; the characters are desperate and dynamic. UGLY ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 2, 2023

Secrets are poison.
They eat away at you from the inside.
I doubt there’s a single person in the club that would have a problem with who I am.
Keeping my mouth shut is all about my own shame.
Who I am isn’t acceptable.
That’s what my Fundamentalist family raised me to believe, but even after leaving home, I couldn’t be myself.
Fighting against it never really became a struggle until the flirty bartender set his eyes on me.
He made me wish for things I couldn’t have.
Resisting him was easy until that first kiss.
Now there’s a very real chance my shame will ruin us both.

REVIEW: BOOMER is the twenty-fifth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is former US Marine Alexander ‘Boomer’ Smith, and bartender Drake Hill’s story line. BOOMER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: BOOMER is an LGBTQ story line focusing on a same $ex relationship between two consenting adult men. Some of the events of BOOMER cross over with some of the events of book twenty-four ARO.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including assault, abuse and homophobia.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Alex and Drake) BOOMER focuses on the building but struggling relationship between former US Marine Alexander ‘Boomer’ Smith, and bartender Drake Hill. Alexander Smith grew up in a strict Fundamentalist religious family, with draconian rules and regulations that would leave Alexander battling the demons from which he continues to run. The Fundamentalist teachings about God, $ex and homosexuality have scarred Alexander Smith such that he is unable to discern his attraction to Drake from a mortal sin. Drake Hill has flirted with Alex, suspecting our hero has yet to come out of the ‘proverbial closet’ but Drake will soon discover that Alex’s inability to let go of the past controls every aspect of his present including his attraction to the man with whom he will fall in love. As Alex and Drake’s relationship becomes more personal and physical, Alex wants to keep their affair a secret but with issues of trust, Alex will quickly push Drake out of his life, refocusing his attention on the teachings from the past, needing forgiveness for his transgressions and sins. What ensues is the building but heart breaking relationship between Alex and Drake, and the potential fall-out as Alex continues to struggle with his attraction to Drake, and what he perceives to be judgement by the Cerberus MC.

Drake Hill is a flirt; he flirts with everyone including Alexander Smith but Drake only has eyes for our story line hero, a man who is unable to accept who he is, and what he wants. Drake knows that to push Alex could mean to push the man a little too far but Drake never expected to find himself blamed for something he would never do. Drake’s own past is mired is abuse and regret, and as such Drake battles between head and heart knowing the man that he loves is struggling with who he is and what he wants. Alexander Smith battles between head and heart with his attraction to Drake, an attraction that would never be condoned by the family with whom he grew up but that family destroyed Alex’s heart and his soul, leaving Alex a shell of his former self.

The relationship between Alex and Drake begins awkwardly as Alex is unable to admit to his attraction to Drake. Alex believes he will be judged not only by God but by the Cerberus family and the other MCs.Struggling to move beyond the teachings of his past, Alex will eventually break the heart of the man with whom he will fall in love, a heart that was willing to accept Alex, ‘sins’ and all. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and charismatic secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we have met in the previous story lines including Sawyer ‘Ugly’ Maddox, and President of the Cerberus MC Kincaid. Ugly’s story line is next.

BOOMER is a story of power, betrayal, grief and acceptance. The premise is emotional and captivating; the romance is seductive and heart breaking; the characters are broken, dynamic and determined. BOOMER ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 5, 2023

It takes a lot to shake me, and even when I’m upset, most people wouldn’t even know it.
There was just something about the last job that kept me from keeping my cool.

I know how dangerous it is, and knew even better when I had to be carried away that day, becoming literally less of the man that entered that compound.

I was ordered to rest, recover, and recuperate, all under the watchful eyes of the team’s psychologist.

She was there to get in my head, to watch for signs that I may be a danger to myself.She became my outlet, the calm to the storm trying to take over in my head.

There would be no problem with what we were doing because the possibility of returning to work with the Cerberus MC was never going to happen, and if there was an off-chance I would, walking away would be easy, right?

•••••

REVIEW: ARO is the twenty-fourth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the members of the Cerberus MC. This is former US Marines Josh ‘Aro’ Aroco, and Dr. Brynn ‘Slick’ Sullivan’s storyline. ARO can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Aro and Brynn) ARO follows in the wake of a Cerberus mission in Costa Rica that went all to H*ll. A search and recovery mission to rescue victims of human trafficking left Aro battling to survive, returning home a shell of his former self. Assigned to watch over and help in Aro’s recovery, Dr. Brynn ‘Slick’ Sullivan, a member of the Cerberus MC, finds herself falling for our story line hero, a man who is struggling with his direction going forward. Believing himself no longer worthy, worried about his place in the Cerberus MC, Aro’s time spend with Brynn ends when Aro pushes our heroine out of his life. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Aro and Brynn,and the potential fall-out as Aro struggles with what happened and why, and Brynn finds herself falling for a man who is unable to let go of the past.

The relationship between Aro and Brynn is one of immediate attraction but neither had acted upon their mutual desire. Living together during Aro’s recovery, our couple will find themselves acting on their attraction, leaving Aro battling between guilt and lust. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Several members of the Cerberus MC return including club president Kincaid, and Aro’s best friend Ugly.

ARO is a story of loss and recovery, attraction and acceptance, love and understanding. The premise is heart breaking and captivating; the romance is seductive and energetic; the characters are broken, struggling, and charismatic.

Let’s see…where to begin…

I’m inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.

I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)

We have two boys we’re doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.

I have a master’s degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there’s usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.

If I’m not writing; I’m reading.

My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I’m reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it’s gotten me exactly where I need to be!)

I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 1, 2022

So I forgot about the night I spent with Sylvie Davis… big deal.
Listing all of my one-night stands would be impossible.
It’s par for the course for any man who decided early in life they’d rather enjoy a buffet instead of a single entrée.
But now my boss has ordered me to accompany her back to her hometown.
His words: She needs a little help.
Translation: I think you could fall for this girl.
Leave it to the MC president, and every other chump in this club, to think I need help where women are concerned.
They think love is the final answer in this game of life. If you don’t have it you’re losing.
I know they’re wrong, but find myself grateful that I agreed to go.
It doesn’t take long for an ex to come sniffing around.
I say he’s bad news.
She says I’m jealous.
With the vibes I’m getting from this guy, I find myself hoping she’s right.
The alternative is bad for everyone concerned.

REVIEW: SPADE is the twenty-third instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on a group of former members of the US Armed Forces. This is former Marine Dylan ‘Spade’ Pratt, and Sylvie Davis’ story line. SPADE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Spade and Sylvie) SPADE follows the second chance, frenemies to lovers relationship between former Marine Dylan ‘Spade’ Pratt, and Sylvie Davis. Months earlier Spade and Sylvie had a one night stand, a night Spade cannot remember or why. Believing Spade had ghosted her, and she meant nothing but a fling, Sylvie struggled with what she believed was rejection by the man that stirred something within her heart but when Sylvie discovers her grandfather’s medical bills hadn’t been paid, she must return to her hometown, a return accompanied by our story line hero. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Spade and Sylvie, and the potential fall-out as Sylvie’s return home may have unearthed a secret that is about to target our story line heroine.

Sylvie’s grandfather aka Big Daddy is in a nursing home but Sylvie has discovered his bills have not been paid. Returning to her home town finds our heroine coming face to face with her past, a past that isn’t quite what they present themselves to be. Spade suspects something isn’t quite right in Sylvie’s home town but his suspicions are ignored, and Sylvie is about to pay the price

The relationship between Sylvie and Spade began as a one night stand that our hero cannot remember. In the weeks that followed Sylvie’s immature attitude and bitterness threatens any possible future with our story line hero; her adolescent behavior is off-putting and constantly places Spade on the defensive. Spade doesn’t do relationships but something about Sylvie pulls at his heart but Sylvie continues to radiate malevolence and animosity whenever they are together. ˇhe $ex scenes are intimate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including most of the Cerberus MC. We are introduced to Sylvie’s grandfather Big Daddy Davis, as well as her cousin Naomi,and childhood friend Will Varon.

SPADE is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; betrayal and trust; heart break and misunderstanding; acceptance and love. The premise is engaging and captivating; the romance struggles in the face of our heroine’s inability to let go; the characters are determined but constantly at battle with one another. Saying that, Sylvie Davis is a difficult heroine to like-her less than stellar attitude, immaturity, and reluctance to forgive and forget, gets old pretty fast.
