The plans I made for my life didn’t pan out.I walked away from my best friend, my lover, the only man I could see spending my life with to make a career of being a Marine, but it didn’t happen.A car accident took him away from me before I realized the mistake I’d made.Now, thirteen years later, I’ve met a woman and a man who makes everything seem ideal.He’s perfect in a familiar kind of way, and … perfect in a familiar kind of way, and she’s the kind of brand new you can’t get enough of.
It’s just my luck that one’s a ghost and the other is my boss’s daughter.
These plans may not pan out either.

Great addition to the Cerberus series and the new generation is keeping it interesting! Love the twists and connection ms that are made in this book. Reading about Tug finding out Jasmine’s alter ego was HOT! Love the way all the characters have grown. Tug had a tough life growing up and it was even tougher to move on losing his 1st love but finding Jasmine has helped to fill some of the hole left by Max. There is only one more piece to the puzzle that will make them whole. Can they fight for the last piece or lose everything?
This book was amazing. I didn’t expect anything of this story, but was so amazing I couldn’t put it down.
Marie James did amazing job with this book, she gives you all the feelings. She gives you some shocks in this books.
I really can’t wait for more of this series.
Marie James did a great job on Tug, the story was written well, it was packed with many feelings. Max, Tug and Jasmine were great characters. Their journey wasn’t any easy one by far. They had many ups and downs but they were good together even though the emotional rollercoaster. The chemistry was sexy. They were great together.
I enjoyed this story, it was great. Looking forward to reading more.
Thank you, Marie James. Great work 🙂
Cerberus rides again
Tug loved a boy from his youth but he needed to get away from his abusive father and the boy needed to stay and help with the family business. Three years later Tug gets word that his friend is dead and his world implodes. After ten more years Tug is still a shell emotionally but he still has needs. When he goes to a sex club, he never expects to meet not one but two people that meet those needs. What he doesn’t realize is that he knows both of them, but they’re masked.
Jasmine has needs too but she tries to keep them from her father’s eyes. That’s why she’s at a sex club eight hours from home. She never expects to meet two men that push all of her buttons. But she’s in for a surprise from both of them.
The third person in this triad is the most shocking. He needs Tug and Jasmine in a way that no one expected. But how will he get what he needs from them?
Tug is a member of the cerebrum MC. When he was young he left his bestfriend and the love of his life behind to join the marines. While he was over sea he found out his love had died and he has not felt complete since. 10 years later he goes to a club and for the frist time in a long time he feel something for 2 people he meets there. When secrets come out and he find out who the two amazing people are things chance in his world for the better. Now he just has to work to make sure everyone is happy and know his feelings and theres… throw all the ups and downs he just hopes all will work out for the best… I loved this book and could not put it down one of the best reads I have read this year
You Have to Grab This One!!
That is if you like down and dirty MC books. Whew, this author sure knows how to write them. Tug and Max were best friends and more since childhood but when Tug opted to go into service Max was left heartbroken. Now years later and Max has unknowingly come back into Tug’s life while visiting a sex club being entertained by the Cererbus MC’s Prez’s niece, Jasmine. With masks on at first no one was the wiser but as things got more intense and identities became known things really get hot and heavy and the story quickly took on a whole other dimension.
During this time Max’s sister, Mia, is kidnapped and it’s the Cererbus MC that Max goes to for help. Since Max was hiding his real identity for more than a sex club they at first refuse him until Tug goes to bat for him. The love triangle between these three is beyond hot. With Mia’s storyline also taking in another Cererbus MC brother, Scooter, it only amps up this whole book.
A definite must read for those who can handle the threesome with plenty of steam. It also delves into human trafficking that will break your heart. I cannot wait for Scooter’s story next!!
To love someone and lose them….has to be one of the hardest things to happen. But to find love again and realize it’s your first love…..there are so many emotions to follow.
Tug is a member of the Cerberus MC as is Jasmine…..only he meets her as “Lily”
Carlos also meets Lily, except he knows who she really is.
The three of them get together and chemistry and sparks are in the air! Then they all start to figure out the truth and we have different sparks. These characters were amazing! The storyline had me wanting more….that ending though gah!!! I need more!
I just love this series. I couldn’t put this book down. The chemistry between them is freaking hot. They all have been hurt but together they make it work. I just love all the characters in this series. I can’t wait to read what happens next.
In this book you get to know Tug and everything he that happened in his past and how he became a member of Cerebus. This one had me from the very beginning of the book. I was constantly on the edge of my seat on what was going to happen next. The characters in this story you just have to love them all Tug, Max, and Jasmine. Usually MFM aren’t my thing but I absolutely loved it. This book felt more like the first books from this series. I can not wait for the next!!
What I loved about this story? The push and pull between the two male characters. Tug as we’ve seen before is usually the easy going ex-marine, now Cerberus member. Finding his way, using his skills to do good in the world. But there is pain behind his eyes and not a soul really knows what that pain is and he tries to keep it to himself. We met Jasmine many moons ago and we really know nothing about her. We are about to learn A LOT about both these characters. I won’t mention who the third major character is because I absolutely want you to go into this one with no expectations and have the same reaction I did when everything eventually comes out in the open. This is probably one of Marie James’ steamiest books to date in my opinion and yes it CAN be read as a standalone but honestly, reading the previous books will definitely give you insight into these characters as well as all of the others mentioned. I will also say that (and yes I’ve said it to her lol) that I’m not happy with the author right now…but in a really great way. I cannot WAIT until the next book comes….bring it on Marie, bring it on.
What an engrossing or maybe I should say all consuming read. The author really had me wrapped up into the storyline from the very beginning. The plot has mystery, action, romance, heartbreak and lots of emotional inner turmoil. I loved every aspect of the book. As for the characters, the author really nailed this unique trio, even if I did want the reach in the book and shake them a few times. But I suppose making stupid choices is a part of most relationships at one time or another. But when those choices involve three lives it really gets complicated. But does it really need to be?
Tug is struggling when he comes home from the army. His best friend and lover is dead and he’s basically lost. Trying to figure himself out he visits a BDSM club on masquerade night where he meets a girl and guy that calm and excite him. But when identities are revealed the reader learns there is a deeper plot involved. Trouble is ahead. Will the trouble cause the trio to choose a different path or will they figure out a way to be together as their hearts tell them they should be.
This is an emotional read that had me turning the pages way into the night. My heart broke at times and soared at others. A great addition to the Cerberus series. I highly recommend grabbing Tug up ASAP. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars.
Have you ever read a book that made you want to reach in and slap someone upside the head or shake some sense into them? Well this is one of those books but instead of two characters, you have three! Yep, the three lead characters in this book seem to want to take turns at having the reader head slap them, and it all revolves around their relationship with each other. I once heard an actor say that if the viewer hated them in the role they played then they did their job right. Well, this author has done the same with her characters. No I didn’t hate them, nor the author, but I certainly got so wrapped up in them that I wanted to shake the sense right back into them because if one wasn’t doubting their place in their “triad”, it was one of the others. Yes, this author did her job very well.
The storyline is both intriguing and painful. There is a bit of mystery as well as action, but it is the story of Max’s sister who has been taken that brings the pain to this book. It is also the feelings of the three lead characters that will reach in and squeeze your heart at times. There is a lot of pain and anger between Tug and Max that needs to be resolved before the three of them can move forward, and its the talking that needs to happen that seems to be their main problem. They never really get things out fully. Throw in Jasmine and her need to have both men, but not wanting to come between them and things really get head slap worthy.
I did love this book and seeing the other members of the family/club. I loved the relationship between the lead characters, even if they are still trying to figure that out (LOL), and then there is this story revolving around Mia, Max’s sister that will pique your interest and have you wanting to see what happens with her.
I highly recommend this book and can hardly wait for the next book to come out!
Title: Tug
Author: Marie James
Genre: Contemporary MC Romance
**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
Disclaimer: Will leave you panting and sweating from the titillation coming off these pages. May need to keep your favorite drink by your side and possibly your favorite partner. *wink*
So, Cerberus MC is at it again. Treading on the toes of the “good” guys while working with said good guys. Gotta give it to our boys, where’s the fun in always being “good”? Face it, bad looks good on these men.
This book was interesting and not because sex leads the story. It involves a triad relationship. And yes there is m/m, m/f, and m/f/m interaction. Tug and Max are friends from childhood and Jasmine is Shadow’s daughter. That is all the spoilers you are getting sorry.
Now, did I like the story? It was ok. I personally struggle with triad relationships because someone always is left out no matter how much or how hard they try to make it equal. There always seems to be a deeper connection between two characters and you will feel it. The same happens in this situation in my opinion. No matter how much they insist a certain person is the glue to hold the three together the bond lacks between two of them.
Also, I didn’t care for Jasmine. I felt her character wasn’t written with a lot of depth.
The overall story was pretty good and I liked getting a glimpse of Tug’s life and seeing the guys in action rescuing women. It’s been awhile since we have really seen them in action. The abrupt ending…ugh…seriously? I felt as if the whole are they really HEA or are they still doubting was in the air. So, I am giving it 3/5 ***.
Wow! Just Wow! Tug is one fantastic book about three of the best characters to date. If you thought Snatch was HOT, you for sure need to read Tug. Marie James is such a great writer that you are hooked from the very first page. This book is definitely a page Turner and I am sitting on pins and needles waiting for the next book.
Life has taken many turns for Tug. Max was his best friend and lover in high school until he joined the Marines. He left the Marines to become part of nonmilitary special forces. His sex life crosses lines that could mean changes in his family life and profession.
There is action, super steam, and choices that could mean a life change to have what makes them happy and the family that means so much to them all.
The team’s mission is personal this time. The woman they need to rescue is one of Tug’s best friends.
The author keeps the reader wondering without a minute to relax. The worldbuilding is amazing along with the teaser lead to the next book will make you anxious for it. Cerebus fans will enjoy every page.
MC romance is my jam; it is my go to, my happy place. Add in MFM and I am salivating for every word. This author has been my favorite in this genre for years because she knows the world, how to create characters that last in my mind and she explores love and lives in a way that keeps me dedicated and coming back for more. This story, Tug’s, is the perfect example of this.
The author balanced MC life, questions of past trauma, life experiences and mistakes and give you heat, passion and a HEA to die for! I LOVED this story, it might be my favorite (don’t tell my other book boyfriends please).
Tug lost someone vital to his heart years before and one turn of events; on a very steamy night, gives him a second change at love. I could not get enough of the dynamics between these three characters; they played so well together, had passion and lust that made me kindle melt. I don’t want to give spoilers but this book is fantastic! I LOVED how welcoming and inclusive the Cererbus MC family is for all of their brothers.
If there was ever a doubt as to my love for this author (which there never was) this would be the story to reinstate my love for her work. If you have never read this author before, start here, you won’t regret it! If you are a dedicated reader like me, ENJOY because it is everything you could want a more! I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review.
I freakin loved Tug!!! It was well written, suspenseful and sexy story. It kept me completely captivated from start to finish. I needed to know what was going to happen. Tug is a former marine, who’s now a member of Cerebus MC. I love how the Cerebus MC guys and spouses interact in eachothers stories. Meeting new characters was good too. I really can’t wait to read Scooter and Mia’s story next.
I don’t even know where to start, Marie James has done it again! She absolutely blew my mind with this addition.
The characters were well developed and had a great story line. I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens!
A great addition to the series-sexy and suspenseful. I was hooked from the start. Absolutely loved Tug and how he found what he needed. And that ending….Can’t wait for the next visit with the Cerberus MC.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
I love my Cerberus crew! Snatch was my favorite, I didn’t think Marie would out do that book but hot damn Tug is my new favorite. The connections were raw, strong, realistic and beautiful. I was hooked from the beginning till the end. That ending is not a cliffy, it is just giving us an insight as to what is going to happen in book 11 and I can’t freaking wait. You have to grab a copy of Tug and get lost in his story.
