I never wanted to draw a line between good and evil.

Yet, hoping my twin brother would change has gotten me nowhere.

I'm always his target, the mark in his game of retribution, but that doesn't keep him from hurting others to get to me.

I've kept from getting close to others because I knew that put them in his line of sight.

Morgan Spence is on both of our radars and as good as she feels in my arms, I have no way of knowing if she's there because she wants to be or if she's just another pawn in one of his deadly games.

Good vs Evil

That pretty much sums up the twin brothers in this book. Rooster/Robert is the IT guy for the Cerberus Chapter in Vegas and has been trying to stay away from his brother for years. His twin brother is a genius and knows how to work his way into Rooster’s life causing havoc and now possibly even harm to those he loves.

This is where Morgan comes into play because its through her that Rooster’s brother sets things in motion yet again. To say that Morgan was shocked when she realized there was two of them is putting it mildly.

This was more of a slow burn love story but it was packed with so many ins and outs that it had me guessing throughout the entire book. I always look forward to Ms. James Cerberus men no matter what chapter they are from.

This is the second book in this fascinating series and this is Rooster and Morgan's story
This is a well written easy go read, action packed story, which has family dynamics, friendships, emotions, loyalty, danger, suspense, challenges, manipulation, identity changes, undeniable chemistry, making choices, and love which all leads to an entertaining, unpredictable, and captivating addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

My love affair with this chapter of Cerberus is taking some time to form, and I am not sure why. Don't get me wrong, I adore all things from this author and the MC world she has created. But this club has some things to settle before I will be "all in", like my feelings for NM and TN. But they will get there!

I REALLY enjoyed the twin aspect of this one, even if Henry's absolutely horrible to Robert. He's definitely going to be a problem!
Morgan's presence in the house was an issue, and possibly could still be, based on Henry's ability and desire to torment Robert.
Robert is adorable, but I struggled a bit with Morgan's character.
But, whew! Their steamy chemistry is addictive!

I absolutely recommend reading this one, and the series. This ends on a happy note for Robert and Morgan, but a bit of a cliffhanger for the club. I can't wait to see how things move on from here!

Rooster is book two in the Las Vegas Chapter of the Cerberus MC by Marie James and can be read as a standalone, but is interconnected with the first book.

Rooster/Robert is your typical IT/hacker. Nerdy, sweet, a little shy, oh! and an evil identical twin that's out to ruin his life. This go around, Morgan has a short fling with Henry but called things off quickly and he doesn't take too kindly to that. Little does she know, she's just a pawn that Henry is using to play, yet another game, with his brother.

Things I loved about the book: I definitely loved the twin aspect of things and how Rooster has struggled to get ahead of his brother, only to always be a few steps behind. I loved the camaraderie, although I feel there's still a lot to overcome with these guys. They have a very different vibe from the OG New Mexico chapter, as well as the new Tennessee chapter. I loved the suspense and the twists and turns. Loved seeing the OG guys and their wives make an appearance.

Things I didn't love about the book: It was a slow start for me. I just wasn't feeling a connection at all with the story. I felt things between Rooster and Morgan were a little high schoolish in the beginning. The "oh does he/she like me or not" got a little old for me. But things did pick up and I definitely was able to get into the book more and finished it quickly.

Rooster is the second book in the Vegas chapter of Cerberus. We met Morgan briefly during Heathen, she is Kaylee’s best friend. Because she was there during the suspicious events of Heathen she has to go back to the villa with the others for safety. There she meets Rooster (Robert) who she thinks she had a fling with. It turns out the fling was with his evil (literally) twin. This story follows the two of them through the task of trying to find his twin while keeping her safe. They try to stay away from each other, but they fail dramatically, in some of the funniest ways. Rooster is the nerdy tech guy who doesn’t know how to flirt and Morgan is a huge flirt with no confidence in herself, so seeing how they interact is such a cute part of the book. There is definite spice in the story, although it is a bit of a slower burn thanks to our hero. I don’t want to give any more away, but you won’t regret giving it a chance. The whole Cerberus family is so worth the read.

Marie James is back with the Rooster, the second book in the Cerberus MC, Las Vegas chapter. This is Morgan and Rooster a.k.a Robert’s story. We briefly met Morgan is Heathen’s book, she was Kaylee’s best friend, and as she was around during the suspicious going’s on of Heathen, she’s back at the villa along with the others for her safety. It’s there were she meets Rooster, the man she thinks she had a fling with. But it turns out she actually had a fling with his twin brother, not him. And his twin brother is what you’d call, we being completely honest, he’s evil. The story focuses on Rooster trying to find he’s evil twin, whilst keeping Morgan safe along the way. the pair try to keep away from one another but comically fail in the funniest of ways. Rooster is a tech guy, a little nerdy and totally clueless when it comes to flirting whereas Morgan’s a huge flirt, yet she’s got no confidence in herself. This one’s a bit of a slow burn, on Rooster’s part but it’s cute and spicy read, one you don’t want to miss out on.

From the beginning this book felt like seduction, with each word and interaction between Rooster and Morgan you could feel it along every inch of your skin. However amongst the intense chemistry between these two the story took you on a roller coaster ride of manipulation, lies, miscommunication, trust and doubts. As these two along with the team sit on the fence between truth and deception it will lead to mistakes that just might put an end to what was a beginning. Rooster might be the nerdy guy of the team but let me tell you this man can grab your attention just from his words and his patience. Morgan was a unique character one who had lived her life carefree until that all came crashing around her. I loved that Rooster didn't shame her in anyway but showed her that she was worth so much more. Let me tell you the ending will have you eager for more of the Las Vegas team.

Wow! Talk about slow burn!!!
Morgan Spence has never had a relationship, she's all about the "fun and done". Her fling with a man named Henry sets things in motion. Henry is a smart, dangerous man and uses her to get to his brother, Robert "Rooster" Stewart. a member of Cerberus Las Vegas Chapter, serving as their IT guy.
Rooster is also very smart, and when Henry attacks one of Morgan's friends, the plan is set in motion.
Morgan can't believe her eyes when she runs into the man who attacked Kaylee, but she quickly learns who Rooster really is.

As Robert and Morgan slowly get to know each other, their attraction to each other slowly burns.....will they or won't they? And is Henry still pulling the strings?

I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the Vegas Chapter to grow!.

Another great Cerebrus story!

This one was very angsty, so if you are a high angst, the slowest burn lover-this is your book. Rooster is the biggest gentleman I've ever read in a book. You know how when the pot is simmering in books, the characters will spend a lot of time taking care of things on their own? Not Rooster. However, he's a tech guy and basically cyber stalks her 😂. She thinks it's hot, so it's all good.

FMC was basically a female frat boy prior to coming to the Cerberus house. Rooster opens her eyes to things, and she does a lot of self reflection. She wins the Most Improved Award 🏆

There are special guests that had me squealing! I miss them so much, so it always makes my whole day when I get to visit with them ☺️.

Story 5/5
Spice 3/5..when it happens it's 🔥, just not a lot of it

Collateral Damage

Morgan Spence never imagined loosing control like this. She is a pawn in a game she didn't know existed. Learning things about herself she never knew.

Rooster has spent his life hiding or fighting against his twin. This time he has used innocents to get to him. Rooster fights hard but Morgan is more than a pawn she is everything. Can he beat his brother at his own game before it's too late? Can you future be something he never imagined?

Morgan and Rooster's slow burn heat up the pages. Their growth together and what they find could be possible is an amazing story. This new chapter in the Cerberus MC isn't disappointing.

Wow! Good vs Evil.

We met Morgan in Heathen, Book 1 in the Las Vegas Chapter of Cerberus. Morgan is Kaylee's bestie and she was throwing the party when Kaylee was tied up in a spare bedroom by an unknown and certainly not invited guest who quickly made work to get out when he set the trap for her to be found. Robert, aka Rooster, is the chapter's resident computer geek.

Morgan is now held up in the chapter's villa for safe keeping until they can find out what and who is causing these latest issues. And, some feelings might be developing with the hot computer nerd even though he is identical to the assailant. Twins? Identical twins?

Whew boy, what a twisted tale this has become. I can't wait for more.

Thrilling suspense between twins
 
Rooster had me captivated from the beginning. Meeting Robert “Rooster” was frightening for Morgan Spense as she’s been stalked by a man who looks exactly like him. The man captured her best friend and held her to get to Morgan. Rooster isn’t the stalker but the twin brother of the stalker. Throughout his life he and his brother have played a psychological game of who’s the best, especially in the field of hacking.

In This psychological thriller Rooster and Morgan play a game of cat and mouse with Henry trying to figure out his next move. As Morgan and Rooster get closer the tension mounts with apprehension and betrayal. I was riveted to the story, the characters, and the emotional turmoil for Rooster and Morgan. As the members of Cerberus Las Vegas get their footing with each other and their chapter, I found myself lost in their world and looking forward to the next book.

The Cerberus MC, Las Vegas chapter has come out strong. I love the characters, the stories and as always the cameo's of the OG's from the Cerberus MC.

I love that Marie James created two new chapters of the Cerberus MC and the characters she's brought on are just lethal as the OG's. The chemistry between the new members and chapters is just getting started and I love that Las Vegas has yet to appoint a President of that chapter.

I love Rooster's story. It was different and so very entertaining. The nerd of the group, Rooster sits in his office most the time during an op and guides his teammates through their ops. This time it's his op and he uses everything he has to find the perpetrator, but he'll need some help from Wren, the Blackbridge Security IT expert for this op.

Rooster, book 2 in the Cerberus MC Las Vegas Chapter Series.

Marie James does it again!

Rooster (Robert) loves his job at the MC as the tech guru. He gets action just from the inside of the building instead of out in the field, well until his twin decides to show up. Rooster and Henry are alike but so very different. Rooster avoids his brother as much as possible but now he is bringing chaos to Rooster’s life.
We briefly met Morgan in book 1 and now she is needing help herself. Staying so close to the clubhouse, her and Rooster find themselves feeling things that maybe they shouldn’t, at least until she can be sure that he is the nice twin and not the evil one.

Marie James always gives her MC characters just what they need!

Rooster is book 2 in the Cerberus Vegas chapter.. We got to meet Morgan in book 1 as she is besties with Kaylee (Heathens woman) and Rooster is out Tech Guru with the Vegas chapter..

Morgan is being stalked by a man who wants her friend… but while with her friend at the compound she runs smack dab into said stalker.. (or so she believes) .. turnes out her stalker has a TWIN..

I looooved the slow burn.. it packed a punch with all the twisted antics.. and of course I loved that we got to see some of our greats from past series..

Thank you Marie as always.. I know with your books I will NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED..

Rooster the tech man can do anything, with computers that is.
Morgan can do anything she wants cause it only affects her.
O my gosh get them together especially after Henry and who knows where they will take you.
All of the emotions that they each progressed through were very stressful.
Opposites attract?
They get so close and what will happen to throw a curve into their future? Will Rooster figure it out before it's too late?
An added attraction the older crew from Cerberus visiting from New Mexico and the antics of the wives. Gotta love these women

Book 2 of the Cerebrus MC, Las Vegas Chapter brings us the Clubs nerdy, tech guy Rooster and Morgan's story. This one is the good twin , bad twin story with Rooster being the good guy and his twin Henry being the spawn of satan himself. Unfortunately Morgan gets caught up with the evil twin which creates huge trouble because Morgan can't tell them apart. This is a fast-paced story that'll keep you on the edge of your seat start to finish.

Rooster is book 2 in the Cerberus MC Las Vegas Chapter series written by the amazing author Marie James. I just fell in LOVE with Robert and Morgan and didn't want this story to end! I was captivated from the first page to the last line and there was no putting down until the final word was read and even then I wanted more. NO SPOILERS! GO buy the book, it's worth it!! If you love steamy biker reads this book is for you. Can't wait for more from Cerberus MC Las Vegas chapter!

Nerdy hero for the win!

Rooster is my new favorite Cerberus member. Sorry, Snatch. Smart, caring, loyal, and funny, Rooster is the perfect guy. My only regret and there was no scene with him wearing his glasses. It's my kryptonite. Honestly, Rooster and Morgan have been the first couple from Marie James whom I've enjoyed reading about in a while. Rooster is sweet. I can't help it.

Seeing Double

You never know what the Cerberus crew is going to fall in to, but it's always going to be a fun time! And when it's one of the IT guys, well, you really never know what those quiet guys will do! Lol! Rooster was nothing like what I was expecting, and Morgan divulged a whole lot of layers that surprised me! I can't wait to see what this crew will get up to in Vegas. Because, so far, nothing has been off the table!

Cerberus should be on everyone's list!

The rating is easy... Because the author and the books deserve it.
What did I like about the series.. It's interesting, holds you hostage till the last word. Always something different to deal with. The character's are believable, with the writing smooth and easy.
Would recommend to anyone that's interested in adventure and romance, complex situations and a HEA.

I don't know what's changed between the original series and this one, but the writing is a lot more confusing. I don't know how to explain it but when I read the first book and now this one from the series I was spending more time trying to figure out what the author was trying to do with the "danger" than anything else. It seemed like giant portions of exposition and plot were just...glossed over. Very disappointing.

I received a free ARC from the author, and I am voluntarily reviewing. Rooster and Morgan’s story had a different twist than I have ever read. No spoilers but it was original. It was also a little bit of a psychological thriller mixed with steamy romance and the elements we love from Cerberus and some cameos by some of the OG characters.

What I liked was how different Rooster's attitude was from his club name. A rooster is bold and brass, all "look at me, I'm the man" while Robert is more introspective and unsure of how he really fits in with the rest of the Cerberus team. His attraction to Morgan is off the charts, but his doubts as to her presence in his life comes from the real games that his twin brother plays.

Rooster is the IT guy for the Las Vegas chapter of Cerberus. Morgan’s friend Kayla is the girlfriend of another Cerberus member. When Kayla is tied up by the guy Morgan had a fling with, the guys have Morgan stay at the club house for her safety. I loved this story and how Rooster wanted to get to know Morgan before they jumped in to a physical relationship. This story was different in that the couple got to know each other before taking it to the bedroom. It was a nice change.

Wow!! Not at all what I had expected it was better. Many twist and turns kept me guessing how things will go. There is a lot of Chemistry between Morgan and Rooster. Do they act on these feelings or ignore them? Then ending has left me hanging and wanting more. Loved this story. Anxiously waiting for the next story.

Dying for More!

I personally enjoyed the LV series of Cerberus! Personally I’m begging for more! What happens with the brother now? He got arrested? I need the story! Marie James never fails to keep the readers on edge and hanging onto every word. I loved both LV stories, but especially Rooster’s. It was a favorite for sure.
