RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Shadow
Series: Cerberus MC #3
Author: Marie James
Genre: Contemporary Romance/MC
Release Date: August 3, 2016
Morrison “Shadow” Griggs, VP of
the Cerberus MC, is a force to be reckoned with. Women fall at his feet,
willing to do almost anything for a night with him.
Misty Bowen is the exception.
She’s young and impressionable, but with her religious upbringing, she’s
able to resist Shadow’s advances… for a while at least.
Never one to look back on past
conquests, Shadow is surprised that he’s intrigued by Misty, which only
grows more when she seems to be done with him without a word.
Being ghosted by a twenty-one-year-old is not the norm where he’s concerned, and the rejection doesn’t sit right with him.
Life goes on, however, until
Misty shows up on the doorstep of the Cerberus MC clubhouse with a
surprise that rocks his entire world off of its axis.
With only the clothes on her
back and the consequences of her lies and deceit, Misty needs help now
more than she ever has. Alone in the world and desperate for help, she
turns to the one man she thought she’d never see
again.
Shadow would never turn his back
on a woman in need, but his inability to forgive has always been his
main character flaw. Unintended circumstances have cast Misty into his
life, but will he have the ability to keep his
distance when her situation necessitates a closeness he’s never dreamed
of having with a woman?

EXCERPT
“Fancy seeing you here, Darlin’,” I whisper into the neck of the familiar female.
I see her smile, turning her head slightly toward mine.
“Shadow,” she says softly as if she’s seen me prior to now and was waiting for me to come to her.
“Let’s dance,” I say grabbing her hand and walking her out to the small dance floor.
I met
Misty Bowen months ago when several of the Cerberus MC members traveled
to Denver with Kincaid, our president, to help find his cousin’s
abducted girlfriend. She was working in the front
office of the school Josie worked at and was abducted from. Being there
was routine for me, part of my job was to canvas the area and see if
anyone had seen anything unusual leading up to the kidnapping.
What
wasn’t routine was my heart skipping a beat and my cock thickening in my
jeans at the sight of the young, dark-haired beauty answering calls at
the front desk of the elementary school.
Not one to deny myself, I pursued her relentlessly in my down time in
Denver, finally catching her a few days before the mission ended in
finding Josie alive, tied up in a closet in a meth den. It was actually
Misty who called and gave me the heads up that
a little girl came and reported her parents for keeping a woman tied up
in their house.
She
was the consummate, attentive lover, keen on any suggestion I made.
We’re back in Denver for Josie and Kaleb’s wedding. I’m slow dancing
with the girl I never thought I’d see again. To be
honest, I’m an asshole, and I haven’t given her much thought since the
last time I climbed out of the hotel bed, leaving her asleep without so
much as a kiss on the cheek.
Seeing
her now with her dark hair pulled up high on her head, leaves me with a
little bit of regret, wondering if I shouldn’t have handled things
differently. She’s gorgeous in her conservative,
black dress as we sway to the music. I came to this wedding with every
intention of finding a chick to take back to my room, but I also never
considered that Misty would be here. It’s perfect actually because I
know she’ll be willing to accompany me without
much of a fight. This gives me more time with her body than if I had to
woo some other chick tonight.
“I
guess I should have expected you to be here,” I say into her hair as I
lead her around the dance floor. “I know you and Josie are friends.”
She nods. “I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. I didn’t think the rescuing bikers would come back though.”
“We always show up for family,” I say in explanation.
The
song fades from one song to another more upbeat song, one I wouldn’t be
caught dead dancing to. “I’m gonna grab drink, Darlin’. I know you’re
not old enough, but you want a water? Coke maybe?”
She grins mischievously. “I’ll have a martini.” I cock an eyebrow at her. “I turned twenty-one last month.”
“Martini it is,” I say wrapping my arm around her waist as we make our way to the bar.
We drink. We dance. We stumble to my room in the hotel a few hours later.
Through
the haze of alcohol, I clumsily remove her clothes, licking, kissing,
and sucking every inch of her body that comes close to my mouth. She
does the same.
She
was shy and reserved the first time I managed to get her under me, but
in a matter of days I managed to turn her into the minx she is now
pawing at my clothes.
“Fuck,” I groan when she bites my nipple just a little too hard.
I
pick her up and toss her on the bed, undressing myself to avoid further
injury to either one of us. I grab the condom from my wallet before
shucking off my slacks. I’m sure I pop a button
off my white shirt in my haste to get it off my body.
I stare over at her, legs spread wide, hands groping at her full breasts.
“Damn, Darlin’,” I say walking to the bed and tearing at the condom wrapper with my teeth. “Don’t get started without me.”
I
crawl between her legs. The shift in the mattress causes me to lose my
balance. I fall to my side, but right myself quickly. I pick up the
rubber that bounced out of my hand and begin rolling
it down my throbbing cock, watching Misty’s face. Her eyes are hooded,
and looking down to the apex of her thighs I can see her arousal
glistening in the low light of the room.
“Goddamn it,” I spit when the thin latex tears in my fingers.
“What’s wrong?” she purrs.
I rip the ruined condom off my cock and sit back on my heels, hands on my thighs. “That was my only fucking condom.”
She
shakes her head. “I’m on the pill,” she pants reaching for my dick,
stroking it in long firm pulls. “I haven’t been with anyone since you.”
I
pull her hand off me, but rather than tell her that’s not going to
happen, the bourbon changes my mind. I spread her legs and line my bare
cock against her entrance.
“Yes,” she begs.
I
thrust into her in one stroke, loving the way she encapsulates me. Hot,
tight, perfect pussy quivers along my length as I lean over her.
Slanting my mouth slightly, I kiss her sloppily. She
doesn’t seem to mind and gives just as good as she gets.
I
feel her legs wrap around my hips, and I plunge even deeper. I can feel
her breasts shifting and moving from the pounding, relentless drives of
my hips.
Her
whimper is the first sign of her impending orgasm, so I grind my hips,
rotating my body against her clit. Nails dig deep into my back as she
clenches around me. I swallow her cries of ecstasy
and give her mine as I explode inside of her.
“Fuck, Misty.” I kiss her again. “This pussy is going to be the death of me.”
She
nips at my chin as I pull out of her and flop on my back. My breathing
is erratic, and I hate the way the cold air hits my dick so soon after
leaving the warmth of her body. I hear my cell
phone chime a text. Looking at the bedside table, I see that it’s after
two in the morning. Only important shit hits my phone this late.
I reach into the pocket of my slacks and pull my phone out.
Kincaid: Wrench is in town. Get your ass over here.
Kincaid
and Emmalyn are staying at Kaleb and Josie’s tonight, and he has a
pretty good sixth sense about shit like this, so I know he’s not just
being overprotective over his girl.
I
climb out of the bed and begin pulling my clothes back on. Once dressed,
I lean over Misty who still has a sated smile on her face.
“I have to go, Darlin’.”
Her
smile falters slightly before she tugs her lips back up. I lean in and
take her dark nipple into my mouth, sucking it to a hardened peak. I
mentioned I’m an asshole right? I need to make
sure that she’s down to meet up again should I find my way back to
Denver anytime soon.
I kiss her long and hard before walking out of the room to make sure my club president and his woman are safe.

MY REVIEW
I LOVE books like this, there is nothing much better than a series where you can fall in love with all the characters throughout every single book!! Shadow was a fun read. I wanted to smack him upside the head a few times but I think Misty deserved a few smacks too. They made quite a few mistakes and I really I'm left shaking me head a ton wondering where and how they can think up things like the do. I can definitely see their age in this story...although Shadow is 33...men do mature slower!
I really enjoy James' stories and the way she can bring a fantasy to life.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
