I’m the fun guy.
The one always quick with a joke.
The guy who is crazy enough to do wild things to make people smile.
That’s how people see me.
That’s who I’ve presented myself to be.
That’s how I introduced myself to Rivet.
The first female Cerberus team member wasn’t impressed with my corny pickup lines and wide smile like the other women I use it on.
And why should she be?
She’s seen … pickup lines and wide smile like the other women I use it on.
And why should she be?
She’s seen it all and lived to tell the tale.
She took one look at me and decided she wasn’t interested.
I should move on, but her rejection stings.
I can’t seem to let it go.
I can’t get her out of my head.
I also can’t figure out if it’s the chase I crave, or if this woman is someone special I’ve been missing in my life.
So that really only leaves one thing…
Do I show her the real me?

The Cerberus series is one of my favorites as it’s not your usual MC. These are the good guys and if you’re familiar with the series you’ll know what I mean. I’m glad to see Ms. James bring this MC into the twenty-first century by bringing a woman into their mix. Giving their line of work, it definitely helps. Rivet did her four years in the Marines, and now even though she’s the first female to be recruited by Cerberus, she feels she still needs to prove herself. What she doesn’t expect is Cannon, her boss’s son. He’s the goofy guy that you can always count on for a corny pickup line, and can I just say I LOVED all the tshirts. These two are total opposites, but the sparks definitely fly. I enjoyed this story and all the guys back in action. Another great book in this series.

Love this series! Cannon and Rivet’s story was a great addition. I’ve never laughed so hard. Cannon’s pick up lines and his funny shirts had me doubled. He’s so funny!
Rivet is bad#ss! She’s also the first ever Cerberus MC lady member. She sure gives Cannon a run for his money.
Woo weeee!! This is a great book. I absolutely loved Cannon and I couldn’t wait to see what would come out of his mouth. The chemistry between him and Rivet was off the charts and I think my kindle smoked a little. I voluntarily received an ARC copy of this book and, da@n am I glad, I’m leaving my honest review.
Every woman needs a Cannon in their life.
I’ve always been a sucker for the funny guy and Cannon doesn’t disappoint AT ALL.
His t.shirt choices and one liners had me from the start.
But underneath all that funny lies a heart as big as Texas.
When Rivet (literally) puts him in his place the night they meet it’s game on and Cannon won’t give up until he wins.
I have to admit that a lot of series I read start to fade a little as they get longer and longer but IMHO the Cerberus Series is just as exciting now as it was when the series began. I believe part of that is because the original Cerberus team makes appearances in each addition and this read just loves keeping up with all the guys and their women. Plus each story is written with Ms. James creativity and pizzazz: full of suspense, excitement, thrills and romance: Cannon is no exception.
Cannon is a story of a young man who is known to be the life of the party, who comes into his own after being rejected by Rivet, a woman who he’s attracted to from the moment he sees her. He’s a young man that is headed to his last year of college and can’t wait to get away from the small town he grew up in. Yet his love for his family and the Cerberus MC tugs on his heart. Cannon’s wickedly humorous banter and hilarious t-shirts made the story even more enjoyable (You’ll totally understand what I mean once you pick up this amazing book. Kudos Ms. James for a very well written, emotional and passionate storyline that made Cannon’s story another Must Read in this reader’s eyes.
I Highly Recommend grabbing up Cannon and the Cerberus MC series (if you haven’t read them), you won’t regret a single one of them. 2 Thumbs up and 5+ Stars
So lets start off with the facts: this is a series and as such should be read in order. Why, you may ask… cuz it makes sense to do so, don’t question the logic just go with it, the journey is so much sweeter when you have read the previous books. As I have read the previous books, I have actually been looking forward to Cannon’s story. We have seen him in the past couple of books and have come to know him as the jokester, never one to be super serious and one that always has one of those corny pickup lines. We actually see him get thrown on his ass in the previous book when he hits on Rivet for the first time. He apologizes and decides that maybe he just needs to let his fixation with her go, so he headed back to school. Now, he is back for the summer and just one look at Rivet is enough to let Cannon know that forgetting her is easier said than done.
Rivet has worked hard to get where she is. Once a Marine always a Marine, she has finished her four years and has joined Cerberus. Now is just letting her work and actions speak for itself, and getting involved with the bosses son is not a way to get on anyone’s good side. But what happens when Rivet can’t say no any longer? What happens when the two lose control and finally just go for it? Will the end result be worth it?
I really liked everything about Cannon and Rivet’s story. I loved that it was a bit of role reversal; not the little lady sitting at home waiting but the hero. Loved Rivet’s strength and that Cannon being attracted to her was against the norm for him. I will not lie, I did expect someone from the past to pop up with a surprise; I will also not lie that I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t happen BUT that just means that Marie James does not do the expected, and that is awesome! This story kept me sucked in with the bit of drama, some adventures, and the seriously spicy moments, like ghost pepper spicy moments. I give this 5 stars.
She is a Marine and she is joining Cerberus after being discharged from duty. She is coming in to meet the team and get everything together. He is the son of her boss and he is in college with one year left. He wears these Tshirts that are so funny and hilarious. I Love him. He and her have a great connection and it is so good. I loved their relationship. They tried to keep it on the downlow but they did not succeed.
Loved it alot!!!! I wanted more of them and his tshirts. The preview for the next book is jaw dropping!!
This story is a swoon worthy showdown of an unlikely pair that could not be more perfect for each other. You will get burned if you stand to close to this couple because they are hot. This story contains lots of humor, love, drama and intrigue. I love that Rivet is the first female Cerberus member. She is full of fire and intensity, but she has this vulnerability about her that is so endearing. Cannon will rock your world in more ways than one with his sexy swagger and killer charm. He will also make you laugh, roll you eyes and shake you head when you hear the stuff that comes out of his mouth. You need to read this book for the t-shirts, the birthday party and the cheesy pick-up lines alone. Marie gives us a slow burn that turns into a fire we can’t put out!

Cannon has always been the joker, ready with a joke or a cheesy pickup line. He’s never had to try too hard to get a girl but when a real woman like Rivet joins Cerberus Cannon is grown off his game. She’s a take no prisoners type of soldier, can Cannon grow up and show her what she’s looking for or will he be cast aside in the name of her mission?
Cannon, a jokester who loves to have those around him laughing. The one who wears crazy shirts everyday with different saying that will make you laugh. The one who is known as the life of the party and unlikely to settle down is knocked on his ass on night after hitting a female ex Marine with worst pickup line. Rivet has just left the Marines and is looking into become part of the MC. The only woman amongst men has her mind set on proving herself worthy to those around her. But you know what they saw opposite attract and Rivet and Cannon are no different. It was great to read a book in which the woman was the one risking her life every other week and the guy was the one waiting for her back home. Cannon respects Rivet roll within the MC and that was awesome! Must read
This has been my favorite Cerberus 2.0 yet. I laughed so much but still got the love I was looking for. When rough and tumble meets happy go luck magic happens! Looking forward to Rocker’s story unfolding next!
As always, this series delivers fantastic reads! Cannon is something else! He is young, seems a bit immature, but has some sexy secrets! Rivet is the first female member of Cerberus and I love her kick ass self!! She fits right in with the guys and can give as good as she gets. This books had my interest from the first page and I love these characters! I love the way the stories intertwine so much!!! Great read yet again!!
Great book, I have to roll my eyes and laugh at Cannon. Rivet is a great one to put him to the ground when he’s giving her the lines.
Devoured Cannon’s story in a day. Rivet and Cannon are made for one another. Who knew the jokester of the group was hiding some dominance. Damn, I needed a cold shower after reading this. Loved every second of this book and I can’t wait to see what book 13 has instored.
What can I say about cannon and rivet. Cannon is the playboy,the joker,and had the worst pick up lines. Rivet is the hard ass marine who don’t put up with people well and puts cannon in his place there frist meeting. But the more time they spend together the more feeling grow. Rivet is trying to fit in to a man’s world and cannon is trying to me the man in her world…this is a great read and I recommend this series to everyone I know thst reads
Cannon and Rivet was such an unlikely pair for me but it totally worked! Cannon and his horrible shirts and cheesy pick up lines, and Rivet is a no nonsense female warrior. The steam coming off these two was so hot! Loved them together and as always Marie James always leaves you gasping at the end of a book!! I need Rocker and Simone’s book now!!
Cannon & Rivet
The guy with the worst pick-up lines, the jokester, the biggest flirt, and the bosses son, that’s Cannon. Meeting the new, only female, member of Cerberus doesn’t bode well for him or his antics. Does his need to chase her mean he can’t take no or that she is something special? Even more special than being recruited to join the elite team that is Cerberus.
Watching Cannon grow up and learn that his old self needs some changes. Amazin to watch Rivet learn that she is really an accepted member of the team and won’t have some of the same issues as being a Marine. Will he show his parents his growing maturity? He has some decisions to make and some new knowledge to use in that decision-making process
There is lots of club and team action, the other couples show up and we get to see how some of our other favorite characters are doing. It’s a steamy hot ride with growth a must. The characters are winners every one of them. Just be prepared for steam and plenty of PDA’s. The author has given us another view of Cerberus and the men and women who team up in the field or at home to make it a success and save the lives and sanity of those they protect.
No matter how many books in this series there is never a disappointment and Cannon is anything but. Bring on more, please.
I loved everything about this book, from Cannon’s cheesy shirts and pickup lines to Rivet being a strong independent woman.
I loved how Rivet wasn’t afraid to put Cannon in his place when they first met. I cannot wait to read more about this couple in the future books.
Cannon oh Cannon. This boy could make you laugh with his pick-up lines and his t-shirt collection. There is just something about him that I just loved and wanted more of him. And then there is Rivet. I love that she is the first female member for Cerberus and she lets is be known that she isn’t going to take anyones BS, she’s there to do the job just like anyone else.
This was hands down a favorite of mine when it comes to this series. Sorry Cannon, Snatch still has that number one spot but you did push Kid out of second. There was moments that made me laugh, moments that made me swoon, and then there was moments that made me just shake my head. This one had everything that I was wanting in a book from this series, and James always delivers. She gives you glimpses of past couples and then little glimpses of other characters that are in the club. And I do mean characters, because that’s what each and everyone of the members are characters, they are serious when needed but have their fun when they have the chance.
This entire series is one that I have found gives you all the different types of heroes that your looking for,and this one didn’t hold back either. I cannot wait to get my hand on the next book in this series after the cliffhanger that James gave us.
** spoiler alert ** Cannon has always been the jokester of his group. Rivet has always had to prove herself in a male dominated world. Drawn together instantly, will she let her walls down? Will Cannon prove he is more than a joke or pick up line?
LOVED seeing another side to Cannon. I couldn’t blame Rivet for how she thought being as she was put in situations that made it hard, but I loved seeing her slowly relax and accept what Cannon was offering. I loved Cannon’s personality and how he was so much more than what people saw on the outside! Great read and cannot wait for more from this author!
