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.

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 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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 26, 2021

Gaige Ward, acquisition expert for Blackbridge Security, obtains things for the team.

As far as your mind can take you is how far he can go.

If it exists, he can get his hands on it.

If he can’t, he’ll find someone who can.

He never fails.

As with all things when growing in popularity, Blackbridge is also taking on scrutiny.

His boss, in an attempt to counter being called misogynistic and discriminatory against women, needs a female with the ability to handle the same tasks his guys can.

Leighton Redmond fits the bill perfectly.

Only, according to her she isn’t for sale, for employment or otherwise.

Gaige loves a challenge but has NEVER had to fight so hard to procure something for his boss.

Maybe next time he’ll think twice before having a one-night stand the day before a very important business meeting…

•••••••••

REVIEW: SLEIGHT OF HAND is the seventh instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult BLACKBRIDGE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the team at Blackbridge Security. This is thirty-three year old acquisition expert for Blackbridge Security Gaige Ward, and thirty year old, executive recruiter Leighton Redmond’s story line. SLEIGHT OF HAND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Some of the events of SLEIGHT OF HAND cross over with, and run parallel to the events of HEROIC MEASURES #6

Told from dual third person perspectives (Leighton and Gaige) SLEIGHT OF HAND follows the acrimonious relationship between is thirty-three year old attorney and acquisition expert for Blackbridge Security Gaige Ward, and thirty year old, executive recruiter Leighton Redmond. In town for a job interview, Leighton Redmond quickly discovers her one-night stand is a married man, her potential new co-worker at Blackbridge Security. Recently burned by betrayal, Leighton refuses to work for a company that willingly accepts the actions of its employees. Enter one-night stand Gaige Ward, and the man with whom Leighton will fall in love. What ensues is the back and forth, tempestuous relationship between Leighton and Gaige, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to a close.
Gaige Ward knew he screwed up, and his boss, Deacon Black is forcing our hero to straighten things out. In an effort to convince Leighton to work with Blackbridge Security, Deacon sends Gaige and Leighton on a series of interviews, working together aimed at ‘headhunting’ potential new employees for the team but Gaige is determined to seduce our story line heroine, unable to forget about their one night stand, a seduction where the truth will have to be revealed.

The relationship between Gaige and Leighton begins as a one-night stand but quickly spirals out of control. Gaige is a man who refuses to be caged by the women he beds, and in this, his ruse as a married man is about to backfire in both his personal and professional career. Leighton Ward wants nothing to do with a cheating spouse, having seen the fall-out first hand with her own parents’ marriage but her attraction to Gaige cannot be denied, and after each encounter, our heroine swears it will always be the last. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Deacon Black and his wife Anna: Wren Nelson and his fouled mouthed bird Puff Daddy, Jude and Parker (Heroic Measures), Quinten and Hayden (Calculated Risk), as well as Leighton’s sister Chelsea, and several potential new recruits for Blackbridge Securitiy.

SLEIGHT OF HAND is a story of betrayal, dysfunctional family values, heart break and pain, lies and truth. The fast paced and character driven premise is engaging, and emotional but the suspense aspect is vitrually non-existent ; the characters are animated and wounded; the sexual chemistry is palpable and hot; the romance is edgy and tumultuous.

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.

Heroic Measures (Blackbridge Security 6) by Marie James-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play / Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 3, 2021

Opposites don’t just attract.They captivate.They entice.They beckon.

As the medic for the Blackbridge Security team, he was just fine hanging out at the office in his spare time.

Jude Morris was…boring.He didn’t need excitement.He wasn’t a thrill-seeker.Then he met a woman who was.

Parker Maxwell, the only woman able to captivate, entice, and beckon him, was his antithesis.

The up to his down.The light to his dark.The hot to his cold.He couldn’t take his eyes off of her.She didn’t seem to notice him.

It’s going to take heroic measures for this guy to win the girl.

••••••••

REVIEW: HEROIC MEASURES is the sixth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult BLACKBRIDGE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the team who work for Blackbridge Security. This is thirty-one year old medic Jude Morris, and bartender Parker Maxwell’s story line. HEROIC MEASURES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: The events of HEROIC MEASURES run parallel to, and cross over with the events of book five CALCULATED RISK.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Jude and Parker) HEROIC MEASURES follows the acrimonious relationship between thirty-one year old medic Jude Morris, and bartender Parker Maxwell. Jude Morris met Parker Maxwell when he assisted a self-defence course for vulnerable women but Jude struggled with his attraction to Parker, a woman who didn’t do relationships, offering only a friends with benefits kind of affair. Late night rendezvous were little more than drive-by $exathons, and in this Jude battled between head and heart knowing Parker didn’t want the same thing but when Parker needed help from the team at Blackbridge Security, Jude found himself on the outside looking in when he was all but dismissed by our story line heroine. What ensues is the back and forth, highly sexual relationship between Parker and Jude, and the potential fall-out as Parker is targeted by a man whose family life is spiralling out of control.

Parker Maxwell doesn’t do relationships having seen first hand the tragedy of unrequited love but Parker has secrets that are about to be exposed, secrets that place her in the direct line of fire. Jude Morris fell hard for our story line heroine but Jude wanted to be more than a ‘booty’ call, or a port to let off some angry, pent up energy. Refusing to become Parker’s sexual outlet, Jude walks away without looking back.

The relationship between Jude and Parker is erotic and intense, as their times together are strictly for $ex, and the lack of communication is stifling, at best. Parker, herself, struggles with friendships including with that of her best friend Hayden (Calculated Risk), and in this, she continues to push all of Jude’s proverbial buttons, and gets upset when Jude no longer wants to play along. The back and forth, up and down, lack of communication and emotional fall out between our leading couple is frustrating yet impassioned-Parker tends to provoke Jude at every turn.The $ex scenes are 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 Deacon Blackbridge, Quinten and Hayden (Calculated Risk), Gaige Ward, as well as Wren Nelson and his fouled mouthed bird Puff Daddy. Gaige’s story is next.

HEROIC MEASURES is a story of dysfunctional family relationships and secrets, obsession, retaliation, acceptance and love. The premise is inviting but the majority of the story line focuses on the sexual relationship; the romance is hot and steamy; the characters are energetic and stubborn .

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 24, 2021

I’ve been many things in my life.
A liar.
A cheater.
A thief.
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.
I accepted it, reveled in it, and always asked for more.
Nothing would change me, no one could sway me.
Or so I thought.
I knew I was a monster.
I just don’t know how to convince Cara Gibson that I’m her monster.

••••••••

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.

Calculated Risk (Blackbridge Security 5) by Marie James-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 11, 2021

As the fixer for Blackbridge Security, Quinten Lake is the man that comes in and cleans up after people make stupid decisions.

Which means he didn’t want to be the one teaching lustful women gun safety.

There were guys on the team better suited for the task.

Get in and get out, that’s his motto, something he lives by not only at work but also in his personal life.

And he could be doing just that if it weren’t for the internet.

But if #BlackbridgeSpecial wasn’t trending online he would’ve never met Hayden Prescott.

He wouldn’t be wondering why she won’t make eye contact with him.

He’s supposed to teach her the skills to protect herself, but his ego is encouraging him to be her means of protection.

She isn’t impressed, and he’s left wondering if she’ll ever open her eyes and finally see him.

REVIEW:CALCULATED RISK is the fifth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult BLACKBRIDGE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Blackbridge Security. This is thirty-five year old, crisis management consultant/fixer Quinten Lake,and twenty-nine year old accountant Hayden Prescott’s story line. CALCULATED RISK can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Hayden Prescott no longer feels safe, and at he insistence of her best friend Parker Maxwell, attends a self defense/ weapons class sponsored by Blackbridge Security where she will meet the man with whom she will fall in love. Enter Blackbridge Security crisis management consultant Quinten Lake. Before class ever begins, fellow security specialist Wren Nelson (Shot in the Dark 2) presents our hero with a list focusing on several issues of which each attendee has struggled, and Quinten soon learns that a house-invasion has left our heroine frightened for her life.

The relationship between Quinten and Hayden begins acrimoniously as Quinten is reluctant to teach a glass to a group of women but meeting Hayden and her best friend Parker pushes all of Quinten’s buttons and both women leave the class before it ever gets started. As the days turn into weeks, the attraction between Hayden and Quinten grows stronger but an attack against Hayden finds our couple as roommates, then lovers, then more. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including most of the couples we have met in previous storylines as well as Wren’s foul-mouthed bird ‘Puff Daddy. We are introduced to Hayden’s best friend Parker Maxwell, who may or may not have a thing for security specialist Jude Morris. The requisite evil has many faces.

CALCULATED RISK is a story of friendships and family; betrayal and revenge; love, relationship and happily ever after. The premise is intriguing, captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are energetic and dynamic-the camaraderie between the men who work at Blackbridge Security if fun, fast and frenetic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 25, 2021

Fake relationships have no place in an adult’s life.Until they do.

It was one kiss.One trick to convince her ex she’s in a happy relationship.One kiss is all it took.Captivated isn’t a strong enough word.Haunted is a little closer.Obsessed fits the bill.

I’m obsessed with Reagan Dunn.Only Reagan isn’t looking for that happy relationship.Until she needs me to pretend again.

Pretending is perfect.Pretending gets me closer.

It gives me the opportunity to prove that we are the perfect combination.

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.
