The Disciple

by Tyranni Thomas

Damien

A mobster with control issues and one too many captives.
A man with no right hand to depend on, no blood family to help maintain order or pass the torch to, and power-hungry shadows closing in around him.
He came to appease Joplin. To kill her nephew, Blaze– but all bets were off when he laid eyes on Donovan Miller.
He swaps one biker brat for another, only to fall for the pet he was supposed to put down.
Could Donovan be the answer to all his problems?
He is the step grandson of Cesare Valentino, after all.

Karlotti

She is brilliant but wilting due to her mother’s inability to let go.
Being kidnapped on her way to the gas station restroom was traumatizing enough, but now she is captive to Damien and an aunt she’s never met. Her days pass by in a household full of men with dangerous eyes, and deadly weapons.
The only time she feels safe enough to sleep is when she is in Donnie’s arms. He might be one of the Steel Disciples her mother speaks so poorly of, but he is her savior,

Donovan Miller

How could anything with eyes that kind, and a body so devastating have come out of Makaveli Miller?
He is soulful, protective, and fiercely loyal.
He was raised in the club, but what does that even mean, when the things he does to survive a dance with Damien result in his loyalty to the Steel Disciples being questioned?
And who can he count on, when his own father suggests a vote that unanimously calls for not just his patch, but his life?

The Disciple is a smoldering Enemies to Lovers, dual tale of Mafia captivity with some serious Dubcon. It contains a flock of Morally-Grey characters, a sprinkle of Billionaire Romance, a Mafia boss Antihero with control issues that run so deep he thinks he can order two captives to Marry for his Convenience. A Bisexual protective Biker Hero who has a heart of gold, and Touch her you die vibes. It is a full length novel with angst, steam, power exchange, and a BBW, virgin heroine. The themes contained within are Dark MC Romance, Poly Romance, age-gap themes, Captive Romance, Forced Proximity, Brother’s Best Friend, and more. It does contain some scenes referencing past trauma, past witnessed domestic abuse, loss and violence.

Dark and Gritty

Damien, Donovan and Karlotiti is a relationship made in h*ll. You have to love dark stories and even darker characters which I most certainly do. Nothing is better for me when mafia and MCs are both front and center in a book. Now I can’t wait to see what comes next.

I wouldn’t come into this blind, I’d suggest reading the others before, I came in blind and I didn’t know who’s who, what when down and who shot who.

Don’t think that your will be reading any threesomes scenes, it’s mostly going to be Damien and Donnie playing and having sex while innocent Koletti is in different parts of the country, out of the country and in the next room. Donnie won’t be having her until the near end, and in my honest opinion I don’t feel any love between Koletti and Donnie, but I feel it between the guys, so to me she is just a pawn to build Damien’s empire and give Donnie heirs while she’s in a different place while her husband Donnie and his lover Damien are romantically together.

Her parents are FBI, her father is a Sergeant at Arms of the Steels M.C and a marine, her mother had a secret life and really spiteful women. Her ‘dead’ aunt is alive and kidnapped her and she’s a virgin an ultimate pawn in Damien V. plan.
Damien’s pet, his adopted father’s natural born son, Donovan ‘Donnie’ caught Damien’s eye for more then torture of pleasure and wants to train Donovan into his right hand man and heir, his family won’t want Damien at the helm with a male lover so Koletti became his new captive to keep Donnie from trying to escape by using her and she’s there the save her brother, or so she thinks,

This one was very different because of the elements of power exchange. It wasn’t just sexual, although there was some of that. But Damien flexed his power over Donnie and Karlotti, ordering them to marry. And Donnie certainly had the power in his relationship with Karlotti. So the love story was very skewed for most of the book. I did start to like it when Damien started to back off, but I felt that the relationship was still very much up in the air. Please note that Donnie is poly and bisexual but this is not a menage.

This story was about Karlotti, Damien and Donovan, it was a deliciously dark romance, dubcon, MC biker Romance, enemies to lovers, MMF Poly Dark Romance, m/m Dark Poly Romance, Mafia Boss Dark Romance, angst, morally gray, and many more triggers throughout the story. Damien is a mobster with control issues and one too many captives. Karlotti now she is captive to Damien she is purely one of a few. Donovan is soulful, protective, and fiercely loyal considering he grew up in the MC after an incident he father and the club want him dead, he is held captive.

This is and MMF story and not a standalone. You will be lost if you don’t read previous book. . Full of drama and betrayal. Damien is an expert at manipulation to get his way. He manipulates Donnie and Karlotti, but Donnie is pretty clear on what is happening a lot of the time. Karlotti is very young, but ready to do what she needs to for the life she wants. I love how accepting she is of the relationship between Damien and Donnie. She is smart. It took a really long time for anyone to get any (ahem) satisfaction. Some of the scenes with Oak were sometimes amusing. My heart broke for Donnie with the way his family treats him.

The Disciple is the second story in The Steel Legacy MC romance series. I love how Author Tyranni Thomas combines MC and Mafia romance concepts. She continues to prove to me what an amazing author she is with each book I read from her. I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Disciple, which I found to be quite suspenseful, a page turner, and entertaining. I couldn’t get enough of this book and to be honest I can easily read this book again and again without getting bored. I would most certainly recommend this book for anyone to read. I’m looking forward to reading more amazing books from this remarkable author.

The Disciple is part of the Steel Legacy MC world and is an enemies to lovers, MC meets Mafia, age gap, dark story. This story is a great big conglomeration of fantastic tropes that'll definitely keep you on your toes. The Disciple picks up where The Heir leaves off and this one is Blaze's younger sister Karlotti's story. It is a dark read so be sure to check the trigger warnings before you start reading this one. Now, I don't like their mother Crystal any more now than I did in The Heir. That heifer desperately needs her a*^ tore up and then some but, so does Makaveli, Joplin, the list is endless! The Disciple ends on a cliffhanger of sorts and I can't wait for book 3!

The expression frienemies comes to mind when you first meet Damien and Donovan. If you like strong men, mix a little kinky sexual play you will love these charactors. I really enjoyed the mixed emotions of the charactors, you think they are one way only to find the softer more delicate underbelly. This book is a must read for anyone that wants to explore the complexity of an society of family power.

Karlotti, Donnie and Damien are a trio that captivated and had me all caught up in this intriguing story. It is a thrilling dark tale with some awesome characters that takes this story to a new level where MC and the Mafia converges.

This is book two of The Steel Legacy Series and the story about Damien. Karlotti. and Donovan Miller. The Disciples is full of twists and turns and lots of different emotions and actions. When you sent to take out someone and ending up falling for them this is an age gap, MMF Poly Dark Romance and dark romance. They are all together through someone wanting to hurt someone.

[Chris06 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another one … the younger generation of the Steel Disciples.

The end of the last book had me thinking that the two taken were going to be living a nightmare.

While they ended up with a strange man … with very strange surroundings … there isn’t any of the darkness.

Another page turner for sure.
