I am Emmalyn Mikaelson.My husband, in a rage, hit me in front of the wrong person. Diego, or Kincaid to most, beat the hell out of him for it. I left with Diego anyway. Even though he could turn on me just like my husband did, I knew I had a better chance of survival with Diego. That was until I realized Kincaid could hurt me so much worse than my husband ever could. Physical pain pales in … pales in comparison to troubles of the heart.
I am Diego “Kincaid” Anderson.
She was a waitress at a bar in a bad situation. I brought her to my clubhouse because I knew her husband would kill her if I didn’t. Now she has my protection and that of the Cerberus MC. I never expected her to become something more to me. I was in more trouble than I’ve ever been in before, and that’s saying a lot considering I served eight years in the Marine Corp with Special Forces.

I loved the book. It’s the first time I had read an MC or a Marie James book and it was fantastic. Diego “Kincaid” and Emmalyn were perfect together. I have since read the entire series and love all the books.
This may some triggers for some. Em was in an abusive relationship with her husband and wanted out. Kincaid was in town on a job and went in to the bar she works at. When her husband hit her he went ballistic. There is a lot going on in this book. I like this story because it’s not only about bikers but different from other clubs. These guys are all military an they go on high stake missions for the government. Good start to the series.
This was a Great Book, definitely a page turner! Could not put this book down!
Mmmm mmmm
I usually don’t like motorcycle club books, but I loved this one! Kincaid was so loving to Em, and ultra protective. Very good book!
Just amazing!
Loved this book. Kincaid is every woman’s dream of a hero.
This was a fun read. This story let us see the good side of a group that does not always have the best press.
Loved it. Can’t wait to read more from her. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
It was awesome
loved the character of Emmalyn and the closeness of all the characters.
good read
Absolutely loved it! Steamy? Yes! But, romantic, too! I hated for it to end.
What is there to say about Kincaid? He meets a pair of blue eyes and he decides that is what he wants. He is protective and sexy, what more can you ask for? Oh right, love…. I have read all the books so far in this series and have LOVED all of them. I am a fan of Marie James. Can wait to read more.
This was my first time reading this author and I enjoyed this book so much. Great mashup. Can’t wait to read more.
Honestly, how has it taken me so long to dive into this series? Where has the Cerberus MC family been all my life?
I loved getting to know the cast of characters, but of course especially loved getting to know sweet Em and Diego, or, Kincaid as his brothers call him.
There’s action, there’s intense chemistry, there’s tension, there’s twists and turns as the plot thickens, and there’s one HECK of an emotional rollercoaster ride of a journey that was thoroughly worth it!
Em is sweet and endearing and has been through the ringer and seeing her grow into herself was beautiful to get to witness!
Diego is a whole hunk of man, and incredibly sexy both in his attitude and behavior and what he wants for the woman that captures his attention, his mind, and his heart.
Misunderstandings throw some wrenches into plans, but the story is captivating and so worth it from start to finish!
I cannot wait to dive into the next one!
P. S. I want an Ollie!
WOW! This is a new author to me as well as series. I was glued from the beginning.
Emmalyn is working in a bar, married to jerk that abuses her all the time. She’s walks on egg shells never knowing what is going to set him off and he start beating her. This happens while she is at work.
Kincaid is the Prez of the Cerberus MC group. They are made up of ex military guys who as citizens go on missions that help the police and other agencies in recon and recovery. Kincaid and several of his guys go to the bar to check out this hot waitress some of the other guys have been talking about.
Kincaid is smitten with Em but realizes she is married and backs away until he sees her being beat up by her husband and he takes action. Em has buried her bridges with her family so has no one she can turn to. Kincaid takes her back to the clubhouse to hideout and heal. From here its a slow go for Em. She is a shell of a person having been beaten for years. She doesn’t know if she can trust the guys let alone find love again. Kincaid is so sweet to her but can he break down her walls.
I loved the side characters and can’t wait to read their stories too.
Great read 5 stars
Basically I had one large problem with this story. At the beginning we meet Emmalyn who is being abused by her husband. Kincaid sees the guy hit her and he takes her away immediately on his bike. Then, it’s only a few days later that she’s getting sexual feelings for Kincaid? I have a huge problem with this. That’s why the 3 stars.
I loved reading this book
5 Stars
MC Romance is probably one of the genres I read most and Marie James just added another one to my long list of favorites. The Cerberus MC is not your usual typical MC, they are all former military hired by the government to carry out dangerous extractions. None of the usual gun trading, drug smuggling/dealing that usually goes on. These are good guys through and through…well most of them 😉
Emmalyn is at the end of her rope. Beaten by her husband day in and day out for the last several years has finally taken its toll. She’s ready to leave, but has no idea how she’s going to pull it off since he found her stash of money. Insert gorgeous biker hero. And gorgeous he is! Kincaid is not only a biker with the Cerberus MC, he’s the president, and he has a weakness for protecting broken women. Seeing Emmalyn for the first time, he knew she was special. There was just something about her that called to him. Seeing her husband hit her set him off. After beating the crap out of the POS, he leaves and takes Emmalyn with him back to the clubhouse.
I loved the pace their relationship grew. It wasn’t too fast, but not too slow either. Kincaid was, just wow! He’s everything I love in an Alpha man, and he’s so sweet on top of all that Alphaness. I struggled with Emmalyn at times. I get that she’s been abused by the very man that was supposed to love her til death us part, but her immaturity at times drove me crazy! She ran whenever something went wrong instead of trying to talk it out. Over time, she does get a little better with that, but it seemed to take forever!
Overall, I thought the book was fantastic. The story is believable, it’s got suspense, drama, and some steamy, steamy sexiness! When Kincaid loves, he loves you with everything he’s got. And boy do I wish I could get some of that loving! Wink wink!

Because this is Book 1, the characters were new, the jobs actually done by the members, and, the positions of power within the group, was all explained and laid out for us as readers. It was excellent! The author didn’t miss a beat in drawing me into the story-line and making me a part of the book itself. The subject of spousal abuse was handled with excellence and sensitivity plus the hero himself, Diego (Kincaid) Anderson, seemed to totally understand the needs of the victim herself. The book is well written and kept me totally involved right to the end. In fact, I feel the need to get the next book immediately.
