ANTOINETTE
Axel Fontaine has a giant…
At least that’s what everyone says. Unfortunately, it’s true.
All. Of. It.
He’s dangerous, scary, and addictive. Without a doubt, the last person I should fall for is the VP of the Disciples MC.
I’m out of my league.
He’s a six-foot-four, blue-eyed biker god.
I’m an ex-ballerina turned stripper who should run away.
But how do you escape the one man who ignites your body and consumes your very soul?
Axel doesn’t do relationships. But I’m betting on ME to change his mind.
AXEL
I don’t do relationships. I don’t do drama, and I definitely don’t do love.
I’m not Prince Charming. I’m the VP of the Disciples and the club is my family.
The last thing I need is a violet-eyed enchantress who smells like candy and has some sort of voodoo chemistry that’s messing with my mind.
She needs to go.
She’s a distraction…a weakness I can’t have.
Men like me fall in lust, not love.
So, why is she still here?

REVIEW: IGNITE is the fourth instalment in Cassandra Robbins’ contemporary, adult THE DISCIPLES erotic, MC romances series focusing on the members of the Disciples MC. This is thirty-three year old, club VP Mitchell ‘Axel’ Fontaine, and nineteen year old, ballerina Antoinette Van Doran’s story line. IGNITE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
WARNING : IGNITE contains strong language that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Axel and Antoinette) IGNITE follows Antoinette Van Doran as she struggles to make ends meet. Desperate for money, Antoinette auditions for a position as an erotic dancer at the Disciples owned Pussycat Club but her naivete and innocence is a target for the lecherous and cruel. Filling in for the Pussycat Club manager, the Disciples VP Mitchell ‘Axel’ Fontaine finds himself pulled towards our story line heroine, over protective and desperate to get her out of the life. What ensues is the highly sexual relationship between Axel and Antoinette, and the potential fall out as the past comes seeking revenge, focusing his anger on our story line heroine.
Axel doesn’t do relationships and in this struggles with his attraction and need for our story line heroine. Claiming ownership of Antoinette from the very start, Axel quickly discovers there is more to Antoinette than meets the eye. Antoinette Van Doran has been on her own for close to four years, and is struggling to make ends meet. One roommate disappears, while another is on a six month assignment, and Antoinette finds herself homeless with no place to live. A job as a stripper could earn Antoinette big money but Axel refuses to let Antoinette get up on stage.
The relationship between Axel and Antoinette is one of immediate attraction but Axel doesn’t do relationships and continues to reinforce the mantra at every chance he gets. Antoinette is slowly falling for the man that has claimed her heart but quickly discovers that Axel doesn’t feel the same, in return. The $ex scenes are aggressive, erotic, provocative and intense.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters many of who we have me in previous story lines. Most of the MC is protective of our heroine but Axel’s enemies have placed a target on our story line heroine.
IGNITE is a gritty, impassioned and raw story of family, friendships, and love. The premise is intense ; the romance is tangible; the characters are dynamic and edgy

LETHAL
(The Disciples #1)
by Cassandra Robbins
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, MC, romance
ABOUT THE BOOK: Release April 2019
ebook ONLY 99¢ Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /
Blade McCormick is not a nice guy.
He’s pure adrenaline and smells like smoke and leather—the kind of guy you look at and know he’s going to be a combination of nasty and irresistible. The moment I allowed myself to touch his hot skin and kiss his full lips, I. Was. Done.
Like currency, I’ve become part of a transaction. Blade took me to pay off a debt. I try to tell myself, Eve, you should hate him. He’s a bad guy. But then again, I’m not a good girl. Blade’s the president of the Disciples, the notorious motorcycle club. I should be frightened, yet somehow, he doesn’t scare me. If anything, I think I scare him.
It takes a lot of work to become the club’s Queen, but I’ll stop at nothing to have the King!

REVIEW:LETHAL is the first instalment in Cassandra Robbins’ contemporary, adult THE DISCIPLES erotic, MC, romance series focusing on the members of the Disciples MC. This is club president Jason ‘Blade’ McCormick, and carnie Eve Smith’s storyline.
WARNING: LETHAL contains graphic language and text that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Blade and Eve) LETHAL follows the building relationship between the Disciples MC president Jason ‘Blade’ McCormick, and carnie Eve Smith. Eve’s brother Bennie owes the Disciples MC a lot of money, and our heroine Eve Smith is about to be the down payment for a debt owed. Told she would be one of the club ‘whores’ Eve struggles with the possibility that her life is about to spiral out of control until club president Blade McCormick brands our heroine as his own but nothing goes smoothly for our leading couple as Eve battles between head and heart knowing she is but one of many, and nothing more than a payment for drugs. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Blade and Eve, and the potential fall-out as the club’s drug making business is about to become dangerous and deadly.
Blade McCormick doesn’t do relationships, and finds himself caught between wanting Eve Smith, and trying to remain in control but the club’s dalliances with drug manufacturing is about to involve law enforcement and a potential problem on the inside, a problem that is not willing to go quietly.
The relationship between Blade and Eve begins as a business transaction; a payment for debt against Eve’s brother Benny, and at times Eve feels the weight of that debt believing she is nothing more than collateral damage. As Blade demand obedience and control, Eve continues to push the president’s buttons, and in doing so finds herself falling in love with a man who refuses to admit he as fallen for her. The $ex scenes are aggressive, erotic and intense.
We are introduced to the Disciples MC including VP Axel Fontaine, MC treasurer Edge Daniels, and Dolores ‘Dolly’ Dunghart, Dolly’s co-worker Doug; club cook Amy, prospect Dewey, club enforcer Ryder, Ox, Dozer, bar manager Derrick; Eve’s father James and her brother Benny; club medic Doc, and his wife Sandy; club whore Crystal, and Blade’s mother Leah.
LETHAL is a story of family and brotherhood; of betrayal and lies; relationships and love. The premise is gritty ; the characters are brash and shameless; the romance is combative and struggles in the face of mistrust, reputation and hurt.

ATONE
(The Disciples #2)
by Cassandra Robbins
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, MC, romance
Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /
ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date Oct 9, 2019
I don’t apologize or regret the destruction I’m about to cause. I’m at peace with what I must do… nothing can or will stand in my way. Not even the raven-haired beauty with golden eyes who haunts my dreams.
No one is innocent in the story of my life. Fairy tales don’t exist!
I. Make. No. Excuses.
Everyone needs to atone, and I’m the man who is going to see to it.
••••••••
REVIEW: ATONE is the second instalment in Cassandra Robbins’ contemporary, adult THE DISCIPLES erotic, MC romance series focusing on the members of the Disciples MC. This is club historian David aka ‘Poet’ , and diner owner Charlize aka ‘Charlie’s’ story line. ATONE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. David is Blade’s cousin.
WARNING: ATONE contains strong language and situations that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (David and Charlie) using present day and nine years in the past, ATONE follows nine years after David’s life imploded. Walking away from the Disciples was one of the hardest things David had to endure but his return came with a need for vengeance and retribution for the people he lost but David never expected to come face to face with former diner waitress Charlie, the woman he was with when his life went to h*ll. Battling between head and heart, David’s need for Charlie is something he cannot explain but his need for revenge overpowers the growing love for the woman that has stolen his heart. What ensues is the building relationship between David and Charlie, and the potential fall-out as David’s vengeance comes to fruition but with it another spiral out of control for our story line hero.
David lost everything he cared about nine years earlier, and with it he buried what as left of his heart. Having always focused on diner waitress turned owner Charlize gave David thoughts for a new direction in life but David believes he is unworthy of love, and refuses to pull Charlie into the lifestyle of the Disciples MC. Charlie struggled in the years that David went missing having never forgiven herself for what happened the last time they were together but the years only cemented David’s need for revenge, and Charlie’s love for a man who disappeared without a trace.
The relationship between David and Charlie is one of immediate attraction but David’s return following nine years away is met with both love and hate from his family, friends and the woman with whom he will fall in love. Refusing to accept that he is worthy of love, David continues to push away the woman he desperately craves to guide him through the dark. The $ex scenes are intimate, aggressive, powerful and erotic.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we have met in the introductory story line. We are introduced to Charlie’s mother, and her co-worker/best friend Cindy.
ATONE is a story of betrayal and vengeance; dysfunctional relationships; drug addiction, survival and falling in love. The premise is heart breaking and dark; the romance is provocative and edgy; the characters are broken, animated and desperate. ATONE end on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

REPENT
(The Disciples #3)
by Cassandra Robbins
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, MC, romance
Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /
ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 15, 2020.
There are two sides to every story.
I fell in love with a redheaded boy, a boy who was kind and good.
Until he wasn’t.
He broke my heart once, twice… I’ve lost count. Like a dark god, he haunts me. He smells like smoke and cinnamon, with danger seeping from every pore. He is my savior, my lover, exciting and addictive.
I should’ve seen it coming…
Never trust a Disciple. You have to sell your soul to the devil to get one to love you. I would.
I did.
My name is Dolores Dunghart and I might have done the unforgivable.
I don’t care if you judge me… I’ve judged myself.
But this is how we live.
And this is our love story.
Edge and Dolly forever
•••••••••
REVIEW: REPENT is the third instalment in Cassandra Robbin’s contemporary, adult THE DISCIPLES erotic, MC romance series focusing on the members of the Disciples MC. This is MC treasurer Edge Daniels, and Dolores ‘Dolly’ Dunghart’s storyline. REPENT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Repent picks up immediately after the cliff-hanger of book two ATONE, and runs parallel to and crosses over with some of the events of book 1 and 2 (Lethal and Atone).
WARNING: REPENT contains strong language and text, and questionable consent that may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Dolly and Edge) following approximately twenty-five years in the life, REPENT follows the best friends to lovers relationship between Edge Daniels and Dolly Dunghart. Dolly and Edge are MC brats having grown up in the lifestyle with their fathers as original members but all was not well in either Dolly or Edge’s life, and our couple have struggled with emotional issues throughout most of their lives. Always dependent upon Edge to pick up the pieces of her broken life, Dolly’s jealousy and inability to trust stem from a home life where no one was faithful, and secrets and lies were a part of their daily routine but Dolly’s life will begin to spiral out of control, and Edge will pay the price for the woman he loves. What ensues is the back and forth, antagonistic relationship between Dolly and Edge, and the numerous fall-outs as their dysfunctional and life long co-dependant love struggles with issues of trust from years of disappointments and disillusions from family and friends.
Dolly and Edge have been one another’s rocks and friends for as long as they can remember but life in the MC is difficult and hard, and Dolly struggles with everything she knows, and the experiences at home but Edge is about to pay the price for protecting the woman he loves, and betrayal by his brothers builds a wall between our couple, a wall that may be too tall to overcome. Dolly and Edge’s $ex life is energetic, intense, and combative, and not without some questionable consent and furious passion.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, aggressive and dynamic secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we have met in previous story lines. We are introduced to Dolly’s friend Doug, and limo driver Robert.
REPENT is story of family and relationships; mistrust and miscommunication. The premise is dramatic and frenzied; the relationship is contentious and destructive; the characters are broken but struggling to heal.
