ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 21, 2022

He ruined a lifelong friendship the night he kissed me.
I spent the next three years avoiding him.
Well… I tried at least.
With my dad being a member of the Cerberus MC and his dad married to one of the members it was virtually impossible.
Just like it was impossible to keep from watching his mouth when he spoke.
The same went for staring at his hands and remembering how they felt on my skin that night.
Senior year of college, after years of keeping our distance, we ended up in the same dorm room.
Avoiding him now is no longer an option…
Landon is a bi-awakening, best friends to enemies to lovers novel.

•••••••

REVIEW:LANDON is the twenty-second instalment in Marie James contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is second generation Cerberus Landon Andrews and Rick Matthews’ story line. LANDON can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storylines is revealed where necessary. Landon is Dustin Andrews and Khloe Devereux‘s son (KID #2), and Rick is the son of Detective Colton Matthews (COLTON #14).

NOTE: LANDON is a new adult to adult story focusing on a bi-awakening, same sex relationship, therefore there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Landon and Rick ) covering several years, LANDON follows the best friends to enemies to lovers relationship between Landon Andrews and Rick Matthews. Years earlier, high school friends Landon Andrews and Rick Matthews were two of several victims of a drug addled gunman, and in the ensuing rescue Rick Matthews professed his love for his best friend Landon Andrews, forever changing their relationship into something else. Now in their senior year at college, Landon barely acknowledges Rick’s existence, preferring to ignore the ‘proverbial elephant in the room’, an elephant that continues to break Rick Matthews’ heart. Landon more than rejected Rick all those years ago, Landon destroyed a life long friendship pushing the man with whom he would fall in love, into the arms of someone else. With limited dorm space available at school, Landon and Rick will be forced to room together, a predicament that will inevitably push the couple together. What ensues is the rebuilding friendship and relationship between Landon and Rick, and the potential fall-out as Landon struggles to admit his love for his best friend.

The relationship between is a best friends to enemies to lovers relationship wherein Landon is aware that his best friend is gay but never thought of himself as bi-sexual, gay or other. Rick’s profession of love and kiss find Landon adamant in his rejection of his former best friend, a friend that struggles in the face of a broken heart but Landon has always believed himself to be straight, never once suspecting there was something more waiting with his best friend Rick. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Rick’s father Colton and his wife Sophia; Landon’s parents Dusting and Khloe; as well as several college students, dorm mates and school athletes who come in and out of our couple’s life.

LANDON is a story of friendship and relationships, rejection and heart break, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating and emotional; the romance is passionate and provocative; the characters are energetic, enthusiastic but often immature. LANDON does not focus on the Cerberus MC or their membership, bypassing most of the characters and previous events but instead, focuses on the relationship between Landon and Rick.

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 May 5, 2022.

They say misery loves company, but after losing the love of my life all I wanted was to be completely alone.
Having a young daughter made that impossible.
I couldn’t curl into myself.
I couldn’t spend hours in the dark living in regret.
I couldn’t end it all no matter how many times that thought crossed my mind.
Regretfully, I couldn’t go through life on my own.
I needed help, and although my teammates were there to lend a helping hand, I still needed more than they could offer.
Alyssa Dansby suffered more than any woman ever should.
She came to the Cerberus clubhouse to heal, working in the clubhouse’s nursery.
She was a godsend for my daughter Aria.
She was trouble for me.
I shouldn’t be thinking about the woman caring for my child so soon after my wife’s death.
We were both looking for our new normal.
I never imagined mine would include her.

REVIEW:HARLEY is the twenty-first instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS erotic, MC romance series focusing on the members of the Cerberus MC, all former US Marines. This is thirty one year old, single father Harley Cobreski, and twenty-three year old, day care worker Alyssa ‘Ali’ Dansby’s story line. HARLEY can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading LEGEND (Cerberus MC 19) wherein the fate of Harley’s wife is revealed.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Harley and Ali) HARLEY follows the building but acrimonious relationship between thirty one year old, single father Harley Cobreski, and twenty-three year old day care worker Alyssa Dansby. Months earlier, Alyssa Dansby was abducted into a $ex trafficking ring but her recovery and rescue by the Cerberus MC, and the horrific experience resulted in a shell of her former self. With an offer to work in the Cerberus MC day care, Ali finds herself attracted to a man whose demons continue to ride him hard. Harley Cobreski lost his wife in a motor vehicle accident, leaving Harley a single father with an infant daughter at home but Harley struggled to move on with his life, and Alyssa Dansby reminded Harley of everything he had lost. Unable to let go of the past, Harley battles between head and heart but in the process destroyed any possibility of a future with the woman with whom he would fall in love. What ensues is the tempestuous and rocky relationship between Harley and Ali, and the potential fall-out as Ali refuses to be a stand in for a woman who was never coming back.

Harley Cobreski has loved and lost, and battles every day not to join his wife. Meeting Ali threatens Harley’s need to remain connected to his late wife, pulling Harley into a spiral of guilt and grief. Ali Dansby knows that Harley is suffering but she refuses to be Harley’s proverbial punching bag because he is too stubborn to accept there is life after death. Everyone grieves and recovers at their own pace but Harley’s back and forth, up and down attitude with our story line heroine was threatening not only his recovery but Ali’s as well. Unable to compete with the ghost of his wife, Ali considers walking away but for the love a small child she loves as her own.

The relationship between Harley and Ali is one of immediate attraction but an unwanted attraction for our story line hero. Believing his need for Ali is dishonouring his late wife’s memory, Harley’s back and forth attitude and continuous mixed signals quickly push Ali out of his life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including many of the members of the Cerberus MC. We are introduced to Harley’s mother and his father Micah Cobreski, as well as newcomers Rick and Landon. Rick and Landon’s story line is next.

HARLEY is a story of grief and loss, struggle and acceptance, second chances and love. The premise is emotional and heart breaking; the characters are broken but recovering; the romance is captivating and seductive but struggles with the ghosts from the past.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 3, 2022.

I never ran from my past or the only woman I ever loved.
She made sure to stomp me into the ground and demand I forget all about her.
I tried to do just that, and in the twelve years since she ripped my heart out, I’ve done fairly well.
Sometimes I could even go a day or two without thinking of her.
We were never supposed to see each other again, but Grace Neiman just couldn’t stay gone. She couldn’t stay in my past where she put herself.
Facing her again after she was abducted and sold was going to be the toughest challenge of my life.
All I have to do is make sure she stays a part of my history because she made sure I understood love was a joke.
Too bad Grace has other plans.

REVIEW:GRINCH is the twentieth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is former US Special Ops member, thirty-two year old MC member Trenton ‘Grinch’ Cole, and thirty year old, former US Navy Grace Neiman’s story line. GRINCH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Grace and Grinch) GRINCH follows the second chance relationship between former US Special Ops member, thirty-two year old MC member Trenton ‘Grinch’ Cole, and thirty year old, former US Navy Grace Neiman. Twelve years earlier, in the face of perceived betrayal, a then eighteen year old Grace Newman rejected a proposal of marriage from twenty year old Trenton Cole. Fast forward to present day wherein the Cerberus MC has been called in to locate and rescue a woman kidnapped off the street, a woman Trenton Cole knows only to well. Believed to have been taken by human traffickers, Grace finds herself not once but three times in the possession of her would-be assailants. Desperate to find the woman he once loved, Grinch and the Cerberus MC set into motion a take down of the people involved but our story line couple struggled to move beyond past betrayals. What ensues is the acrimonious but rebuilding relationship between Grace and Grinch, and the potential fall-out as both begin to play a game with one another’s hearts and affections.

Trenton ‘Grinch’ Cole has never forgotten about the woman that broke his heart, a heart that remains frozen in ice with no chance for the future. Rekindling a romance with Grace means the possibility of heart break all over again so Grinch makes sure he destroys Grace before she can destroy him again. Grace Neiman cannot forgive Trenton for a perceived betrayal, a betrayal of secrets and misunderstanding. A proposal of marriage twelve years earlier, by our story line hero pushed Grace Neiman over the edge, forcing Trenton Cole out of her life, without looking back .

The relationship between Grinch and Grace is one of second chances; a rebuilding romance and relationship predicated by circumstance and fate but a relationship that struggles to move on from the past. As Grace pushes Grinch a little too far, our heroine must battle between head and heart knowing she may have pushed Grinch out of her life. Grace and Grinch are a highly sexual couple, both using provocative measures to capture what once was but may again never be. The $ex scenes are intimate erotic, seductive and intense without the use of over the stop, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to several member of the Cerberus MC: Prez Kincaid and Em, Legend, Harley, Kid, Aro, Ugly, Boomer, and Dominic. We are introduced to Alyssa Dansby, another woman caught in the web of human traffickers. The requisite evil has many faces.

GRINCH is a story of misunderstanding and heartbreak, pain and suffering, acceptance and forgiveness, loss and love. The premise is tragic and dramatic; the romance struggles in the face of perceived betrayal; the characters are wounded, edgy and animated.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 6, 2022

I wouldn’t call it love at first sight, but my body definitely reacted when I saw her.
Getting Faith Robbins under me became my obsession.
I knew I wanted fast and done.
It’s how I always did things.
Looking for anything more with a woman was never in the cards.
I wasn’t like the other guys in the Cerberus MC. I didn’t want more.
It was physical, sating a desire.
Then someone began to seek revenge, and my other instincts kicked in.
Spending time with her was about protecting her, keeping her safe.
Now if only I could remind my heart what the plan was.

••••••••

REVIEW: LEGEND is the nineteenth 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 attorney Faith Robbins, and Ethan ‘Legend’ Packwood’s story line. LEGEND 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 (Faith and Ethan) LEGEND follows the building romance and relationship between attorney Faith Robbins, and MC member Ethan ‘Legend’ Packwood. Faith Robbins struggles with issues of trust having grown up in the foster care system. Ethan’s continuous attempts to seduce our story line heroine are met with rejection and oft-times disrespect but Faith has a stalker, and Ethan has proclaimed himself our heroine’s protector, a protector who is constantly at odds with Faith’s hot and cold, back and forth, up and down attitude towards the man himself. As the incidents against Faith increase, growing more threatening with each occurrence, Ethan pulls Faith into the Cerebrus clubhouse, where she will be protected and surrounded by eveyrone involved but Faith’s need to remain independent are about to place her in the direct line of fire, where her life will hang in the balance for perceived sins of the past. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Faith and Ethan, and the potential fall-out as Faith refuses to acknowledge the danger to her own life and that of the people she loves.

Ethan ‘Legend’ Packwood has lusted after Faith for as long as he can remember but the some-time MC attorney battles between head and heart refusing to be another nameless body in the ‘Legend’s’ long list of conquests and bed partners. When pushed away one final time, Ethan keeps his distance, a distance that Faith struggles to accept and understand. A little TSTL (too stupid to live) Faith refuses to remain secluded, increasing the target already on her back.

The relationship between Faith and Ethan is tempestuous at best. Faith refuses all of Ethan’s attempts at seduction but when Ethan backs away, Faith feels rejected, often worried about other women, or Ethan’s history with the female members of the Cerberus MC. Living at the MC clubhouse, Faith and Ethan’s relationship quickly turns into something more but Faith continues to doubt Ethan’s need for the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are passionate, erotic 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 six new members: Spade, Aro, Slick, Boomer, Harley and Ugly; MC president Kincaid, and his brother Dominic; Apollo and April; MC member and homicide detective Colton Matthews; Harley’s wife Lana; Grinch; psychologist Brynn ‘Slick’ Sullivan, bartender Drake, and Faith’s best friend Sylvie Davis. Grinch’s storyline is next.

LEGEND is a story of vengeance and obsession; family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is dramatic and intense ; the characters are animated and-the camaraderie between the MC members is cherished and fun; the romance is provocative and seductive. LEGEND ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 18, 2021.

As a child, I believed Christmas wishes were supposed to come true.
As an adult, I realized making those wishes were pointless.
As an original member of the Cerberus MC, I knew hard work and determination is what brought a good outcome so I stopped making wishes.
I didn’t ask for Lucy or her son Harley, but when having them became a reality I knew I needed to hold on tight.
Her past makes her decisions for her, and letting them go will be the hardest thing I’ll ever do.

REVIEW: A VERY CERBERUS CHRISTMAS by Marie James is an adult, contemporary, erotic, MC romance story line found in the author’s CERBERUS MC series. This is thirty-one year old, former US Marine and MC member Micah ‘Snake’ Cobreski, and twenty-eight year old, single mother Lucy Farrow’s story line. A VERY CERBERUS CHRISTMAS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: A VERY CERBERUS CHRISTMAS is a prequel storyline set approximately twenty-five years earlier .

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucy and Micah) A VERY CERBERUS CHRISTMAS follows the building romance and relationship between thirty-one year old, former US Marine and MC member Micah ‘Snake’ Cobreski, and twenty-eight year old single mother Lucy Farrow. Lucy Farrow has struggled in the years since her father’s son landed in prison, leaving her alone and without money or support but as a single mother Lucy does everything for her son Harley, including sacrificing her own happiness for the sake of her child. Meeting MC member Micah ‘Snake’ Cobreski gives Lucy some hope for a future, a future that will be quickly dashed when her ex is released from prison, wanting to spend more time with the son he barely knows. Meanwhile, Micah has fallen for our story line heroine but won’t stand in her way no matter what she decides about her immediate future, a future that may not include our story line hero. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Micah and Lucy, and the fall-out as, once again, Lucy sacrifices her own happiness, for the sake of father and son.

The relationship between Micah and Lucy is one of immediate attraction but Lucy struggles in the wake of her exe’s prior involvement with a local MC. Micah knows that Lucy is it, the woman that has stolen his heart but Micah also knows their time together may come with an end date a date that is coming, all too soon. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include several members of the Cerberus MC including Kincaid, Shadow and Dom,Lucy’s son Harley, and her ex Robbie Farrow.

A VERY CERBERUS CHRISTMAS blends the holiday themes from Miracle on 42nd Street, and The Gift of the Magi. Both Lucy and Micah sacrifice for the love of someone else, a sacrifice that pulls Lucy away from our story line hero, and pulls Micah away from the family he has known most of his life. The premise is emotional and captivating; the romance seductive and intense; the characters are charismatic and self-sacrificing. The epilogue advances the story line twenty-five years where we get a glimpse at Lucy’s son Harley, and the next generation of the Cerberus MC.

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.

A liar.

And I’ve never had a problem with any of it.
I knew my path, knew which direction I was heading when it was all over—straight to Satan’s lair.

Nothing would change me, no one could sway me.

REVIEW:THUMPER is the seventeenth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic MC, romance series focusing on the Cerberus MC. This is Javier ‘Thumper’ Sosa , and nurses aide Cara Gibson’s storyline. THUMPER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cara and Javier) THUMPER follows in the wake of the abduction of several women including our story line heroine Cara Gibson, women who are about to be sold into sexual slavery. The man in charge is none other than Javier Nolasco but Javier’s secrets are about to be exposed as there is more to Javier than anyone could know. From rape and starvation, to abduction and imprisonment, six women find themselves caged in cells, as one by one each is taken, never to return. As the story line begins to unfold, we witness Javier’s gentleness when it comes to the women, a gentleness that hides a secret Cara quickly realizes is something more. A rescue by the FBI finds most of the women alive and unharmed but Javier now finds himself a prisoner of the local cartel, and one woman is brave enough to approach the Cerberus MC to search for their former brother in arms.

Cara Gibson knows the trepidation and fear of being sold to the highest bidder having escaped a life in a religious cult. Meeting Javier, and knowing what he does, meant Cara sacrificed one prison for another, until she finds herself falling for a man who was about to destroy her life. Javier Sosa knows that it is only a matter of time before his secrets are revealed, and with it the possibility of losing it all. Falling to Cara Gibson was never on the horizon but Javier knew that Cara was the woman that called to his heart.

The relationship between Cara and Javier begins as captor and captive but Javier is biding his time until he too, can escape, the life he no longer ‘enjoys’. Cara hates Javier for what he does, and the thing he represents but when the truth is revealed, Cara knows that Javier’s job was to protect them all. The $ex scenes between Cara and Javier are intimate and seductive but their physical relationship does not begin until Javier and his colleagues acknowledge the legitimacy of their deeds.

There is large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including number of the previous story line couples. We are introduced to Lauren ‘Lola’ Vos, mercenary Angel, as well as several girls abducted with our story line heroine. The requisite evil has many faces. Apollo and April’s story is next.

THUMPER is a dark and gritty sensitive story of secrets and lies, sexual slavery, misogyny, power and control, revelations and forgiveness. The premise is haunting and twisted; the characters are broken, tragic and edgy.

REVIEW:JINX is the sixteenth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the Cerberus MC. This is Miles ‘Jinx’ Alexander, and paralegal Reagan Dunn’s story line. JINX can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Note: Due to the nature of the story line premise including ménage relationships and romance, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Miles and Reagan) JINX follows the building romance and relationship between Miles ‘Jinx’ Alexander and Reagan Dunn. Reagan Dunn is a single mother of two children but a trip to the grocery store, and the arrival of an old flame, forces Reagan to grab at the nearest man to play along with her fake relationship. Enter biker and MC member Miles ‘Jinx’ Alexander. A bout of the stomach flu that quickly ravages her young family, once again, finds Reagan face to face with our story line hero, wherein she blames Miles Alexander for the virus that has taken hold but Reagan needs a plus-one for an office party, and Miles volunteers to play the role. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Miles and Reagan, and the potential fall-out as Reagan struggles with work place fall-out, and the possibility that Miles is only with her for a limited time.

Reagan Dunn knows rejection first hand, and her growing love for Jinx is threatened by previous heart break, and the possibility that she is only a temporary play-thing for our story line hero but Miles is quickly falling for Reagan Dunn, believing he has found the woman that has stolen his heart. As a single father Miles is well aware of Reagan’s love for her son and daughter, and in this Miles is ready to step in and become father and protector of Reagan and her children.

The relationship between Miles and Reagan begins as a parking lot, fake relationship in an effort to keep Reagan’s past in the past but a passionate kiss stirs something deep within our story line couple, and Miles is desperate to find and seduce the woman that calls to his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

There is a large colorful and energetic cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples and triads (throuple). We are introduced to Reagan’s college sweetheart and attorney Brian Wakefield; her best friend Cassie; Reagan’s children Elijah and Katie; Jinx’s son River; Katie’s father Shane and his partner Martin, as well as Reagan’s mother.

JINX is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced premise is engaging, enticing and intense; the romance is seductive, erotic and captivating; the characters are dynamic and determined.
