Book Release Blast for Bishop by Marie James (REVIEW)…….

 A man whose past is nothing but a blur finds his future now in doubt courtesy of a woman caring for him after he's injured, a woman who calls to him…heart and soul.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Bishop by Marie James, along with my impressions of it, then get ready to add this 27th installment in the Cerberus MC series to your bookshelf!

In the grand scheme of things five years isn’t a very long time.

It goes by in a blink, literally.
Waking up with no recollection of the last five years is devastating. The woman I remember loving is with someone else.
The only family I had is gone, and I’m forced to relive those losses all over again.

I’m now a member of Cerberus, and I can’t even recall if I signed on to get Rivet back or if I got over her before joining.
I have no other choice but to cling to the woman hired to help me recover because she’s the only one that knows less about me than I do.
I was afraid of never getting my memory back, but the closer I get to her makes me terrified of what will happen if I do.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

Having read the previous book in this series I knew what condition I'd find Bishop in at the beginning...but it was still heartbreaking to see as he seemed so lost and frail while in his coma.  The connection between him and his ray of Sunshine might've started out unconventionally but it still provided a strong foundation for the two of them as they worked through their trust issues and their vulnerabilities.  It was a bumpy journey full of angst, a slow-burn romance that built slowly as truths were revealed and they both became more willing to put their hearts on the line.

For five years Bishop was in a fog, fueled by images that he didn't know were real or not.  His one constant though is the woman hired by his Cereberus brothers...Sunshine.  She cared for him, talked to him, and was his whole world while he was in a coma.  Now that he's awake though he's not ready to let her go and as his rehabilitation continues she's right by his side, supporting him as much as he supports her.  Bishop has a beautiful heart and soul and does everything he can to show Sunshine that there are in fact good men out there...and he's definitely one!  He's sweet, sexy, and he made me melt like chocolate.  His interactions with her son Ryder made me melt even more.  The bond he and Ryder had was separate from his connection to Sunshine, and the time he spent with his little buddy was fatherly (much more so than with Ryder's own bio-dad) and endearing.

Sunshine was equally likable, an independent and hardworking woman who had only herself to count on.  She's tough as nails, working long hours to account for the monetary and emotional anchors that are her ex and her mother.  For the five years Bishop was in his coma, she was his sole connection to the outside world.  Her lack of personal time, and friends, had her forming her own connection to him, sharing everything about herself, using him as a sounding board to her very heart and soul.  She held nothing back, but the moment he woke up she was a bit more hesitant.  With each turn of the page though they slowly built up their trust in one another, formed an unwavering connection that warmed my heart...and just made me feel good.

This book took a more emotional detour this time around, focusing more on the personal than on Club business.  Instead of blood being shed, it was tears.  Bishop and Sunshine were a couple worth rooting for, they were joyous together on a journey (and HEA) that they had to work hard to reach.  Though I would've liked to know more about Bishop before his drugging, I definitely connected to the man he is now and became by being with Sunshine.  Ryder was wonderful too and I loved the softer side he brought out in Bishop, seamlessly bringing this trio together to form a family!  This was a sweet and sensual addition to the Cerberus MC series, one full of heart and soul, that now has me clamoring for the next installment in this series...Legacy!

My rating for this is an A-
