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?

Title: Cannon
Author: Marie James
Genre: Contemporary MC Romance
**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
**POSSIBLE SPOILERS**
DEPTH IN THE NARRATIVE NOT CHARACTER INTERACTION.
– the story and characters were all right- the book overall was an enjoyable read, but it just didn’t grip me.
Like contemporary superhero comics giving us characters like a female Thor, Cerberus has given us their first female member, Rivet. Showing MC’s aren’t just for the boys anymore.
Cannon has no problem hitting on Rivet. He is known for his new lady every night persona. He is the life of the party. But, he makes a point of letting us known in the narrative he is actually a serious person and in the dark he has to have control. Problem is, so does Rivet but she likes giving him control and vice versa.
Rivet feels she has to prove herself based on her gender and Cannon feels he has to prove himself because of who he has let people believe he is.
Rivet struggles with gender and power situations but we don’t delve into that just like not exploring how her scars keep her from undressing all the way but then suddenly sure in the shower show off her scars and she doesn’t mention it until later. Nor do we explore Cannon’s need for control under the covers or why he hides his serious nature.
My biggest question: Rivet and Cannon only sit down and talk to get to know each other once at the hotel; So how do they fall in love? Seriously?
Well, it took me a day to wrap my head around this one! Cannon is the smarta$$ one in the group and the first to make everyone laugh. He is never taken serious and has a million corny pickup lines. But then Rivet joins the Cerberus MC and he can not stop thinking of her. I liked that Rivet did not fall for Cannon and his BS when they met. Cannon is funny at times but I liked seeing him mustier into the man he will become. I can not wait to see where this couple takes us and watch them grow!
The Cerberus team are back and this time there’s a new female recruit.
Rivet’s the first female Cerberus team member, she’s there to do her job, just the same as everyone else, she doesn’t want nor expect to be treated any differently just because she’s a female in a predominantly male environment.
When Cannon first lays eyes on Rivet he’s instantly attracted to her, convinced his cheesy chat-up line’s are going to do the trick and make her drop her panties he’s surprised when it’s himself that ends up dropping to the floor, flat on his back, yup Rivet’s got her own moves, she can’t deny her attraction to Cannon but he’s her bosses son and it doesn’t matter how many cheesy lines he’s throws her way, she can’t cross that line however she might just step over it, if the t-shirt’s right, oh yeah like father like son, Cannon has some right belters t-shirt wise, I couldn’t wait to see what he was going to be wearing, each design never failed to put a smile on my face.
If you’re after a fantastic read containing humour, heat, quirky t-shirts and a little drama then this one’s for you, I highly recommend it.
.
I just love this series. Rivet is trying to fit in with the Cerberus team. She is one bada$$ woman. She doesn’t take any $hit from anyone. But she catches Cannon’s eyes right from the start. He realizes that he has take another approach when it to her. Cannon is life of the party but he’s one sexy alpha. Can’t wait to read more.
So thankful that this book showed up on my day off, because I devoured it! Cerberus MC means serious business, but this story had me laughing out loud so many times! “There’s two sides to every coin”, and just as that saying goes, there’s two sides to Cannon!
I wasn’t really sure how I felt about a female becoming a member of Cerberus MC, but Rivet was just what the organization needed! Loved her interactions with the members!
All I can say about the interactions of Cannon and Rivet is, explosive! I loved how Rivet brought out the side of Cannon that no one else knew of. Superb story! An awesome reminder of what a fantastic series the Cerberus MC truly is!
