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.

Cassandra has done it again!! I just cannot get enough of this MC series! Edge and Dolly's story is one I've been wanting since book one and it was EVERYTHING I wanted & a little more.

Their back story was so raw and beautiful - my heart broken for them. We know some of their history from the first two books but you could easily jump in at this story & not feel lost. Their relationship is explosive and at times I wanted to shake either or both of them but that's why I loved it so much. It wasn't an easy love story & it wasn't even a pretty one at times - but it was THEIR messy love story. Exactly how I imagined these two crazy characters would be.

I have to make SPECIAL MENTION of their chemistry - these two just about blew up my kindle & left me in a puddle on the floor - hubby says thanks for the wake up at 2am...

And gotta say that ending - Axel doesn't even know what he's in for! Bring on Book 4.

This is THE book in the Disciples series that every Disciples fan deserves.

We have seen the animosity and anger and a hint of the sadness that exists between Dolly and Edge in the former two books in the series. What we didn’t know was the full background, the history, the bone deep love and care and sweetness that exists in this romance.

This is one that’s going to take you back to the butterfly stirrings of first love, the puffy eyed devastation of first heartbreak and the complete elation of finding your true one.

Edge and Dolly. Forever.

*Axel is next. And he’s mine. Just sayin 🖤

Holy CRAP, Cassandra Robbins has brought her A-Game with this one! Edge and Dolly's story is my FAVORITE story by her and I am head over heals in love with them! One of my top couples ever!

This story is so much more than just an MC...

This is a story that is going to grab you and not let you go until you're done, then demand another page because your heart is so very full of happiness and you won't want to let them go...

This is a story that is going to break your heart wide open, then put it back together in the most beautiful and painful way...

Most importantly... This is a story that is going to stay with you for days, weeks, and months after you finish it. It's one that you'll think about and it will make you truly smile because you feel like you were there with them during their journey.

This is truly Cassandra's finest writing to date. Hands down. Everything in this book is real and relatable.

I could honestly talk about this book for HOURS. You need this one. SERIOUSLY.

About 50% was pretty interesting and felt like a different author wrote it considering how much I disliked the first book in this series. Then "Part 2" happened and my sympathy for Dolly just vanished. Honestly she was a basket case and I'm not sure there was any good in it either. She had several hangups about their lifestyle as biker brats and their shitty childhoods. She had this need to please everyone and especially was insecure when it came to Edge and women. From what I understood in the first book I felt like Edge would be at fault but holy hell y'all he did nothing wrong. She held the one miniscule incident from when they were seventeen over his head and never trusted him again. God forbid this chick find him within breathing distance of a single chick who even looked at him friendly. She really was coo coo for Coco puffs. I don't understand how Edge felt that her brand of crazy was ok to deal with.

On top of this was the way the author wrote these things felt confusing and intentionally vague most of the time. Dolly's insecurities were handled so terribly and obscurely I felt lost sometimes. Not to mention I truly felt these insecurities she had were very juvenile and would have been best approached and handled in "Part 1" of the story with a younger Dolly. It didn't fit right for me to have a thirty-one year old hung up over the fact she was ashamed of being a biker brat and the judgement outsiders gave her for it etc. It felt overblown when something like that should have been minor really. But no, the author made that the huge issue that was the cause of her "not wanting kids" with Edge and then within the last two chapters we resolve it with a "tough love" talk from Doug. Okay suuurrreee. And naturally she's preggo a year later in the epilogue.

Sigh. Okay I didn't entirely hate the book all that's considered. It was decent until it wasn't. Ultimately I gave up on Dolly and didn't care about her drama and that's where the book lost me. Edge was actually pretty decent and his love for her was sweet in a way but they really should've just moved on from one another.

Following suit to Lethal and Atone, I’m absolutely OBSESSED with Repent, with Edge and Dolly. How could you not be? You can’t help be be consumed by them and their love, just as they’re consumed with each other.

After only catching brief glimpses of them so far, I was so intrigued by these two, their constant push and pull relationship. But now that I know how deep their love runs, how it’s built on friendship, first love, heartache, and devastation, it only amplifies their connection to one another.

Edge and Dolly are wildly explosive. From young kids to teenagers to adults, their love morphs from something sweet to something carnal to something protective to something possessive. One is the match while the other is the gasoline, their roles always switching.

I was immediately hooked in by Edge and Dolly, rooting for them every step of the way. Their journey is filled with every emotion imaginable, but in the end, it only strengthens them as both individuals and as a couple.

Cassandra Robbins is immensely talented and I’ve loved every single word she has written. Her take on MC romance is so fresh, and while she pulls no punches conveying the dark, gritty, seedy culture that clubs are known for, she also isn’t afraid to showcase how these alpha men so openly love on their women. The Disciples series is MC romance at its finest and Robbins has hit the mark with every book, and I have no question that Ignite will carry the tradition.

Oh Edge, please take me! We have met both Edge Daniels and Dolores “Dolly” Dunghart in the prior books but they finally have their story told that we all wanted. Through the past and present tense we see these two MC kid’s rocky relationship from childhood until adulthood. “My favorite person and my mortal enemy, all wrapped up in a beautiful package of auburn hair and blue eyes.” Edge is a complex man and part of the Disciple MC. These two have been connected since birth but sometimes we have to experience life and if we can find our way back to each other, well then everything is worth it in the end. This is a roller coaster of feelings and I loved every minute of it! All that these two have been through will tug at your heartstrings. This is a beautiful story that will have you wanting a biker! It might rip your heart out first before it puts it back together so be prepared. Told I dual POV

It seems everyone loved Dolly & Edges story.

I did not

I found it to be tragic & toxic. And way too drawn out.

In part 1 it ends when they are 18, and seem to be finally able to be together, Dolly gets the brand and they are happy. At 17 Dolly caught Edge getting a blow job from Crystal (the club bicycle, literally), this obviously causes a problem between Dolly & Edge. Here's the thing:
1. Dolly was raised by the club, as was Edge, it seems cheating is a part of the life, doesn't make it ok, but it is what it is.
2. Dolly puts so much importance on being popular at school and the prom queen, that it makes no sense she would want Edge anyway. Plus she hates the club and everything it stands for, so she should have left Edge alone.
3. Edge goes to jail for her because he almost kills her would be rapist. I think that that should give Edge the pass on the blow job(this attack happens after the whole blow job drama).

At the end of part 1, Edge and Dolly are 18, he's out of prison, they are back together, she's branded.
Where I'm confused is that when readers enter this world, through Eve in book 1, someone tells Eve that Dolly caught Edge getting the infamous BJ from Crystal and that's why Dolly hates Edge and they aren't together. At thus point, it has to be 10 yrs since that drama, and Edge & Dolly were together and happy at 18. So what the hell went on between 18 and 31??? They literally have fought for 13 yrs??? This is where I feel they just aren't good for each other. The club also had to put up with their decades of drama? Even Charlie , who is new as an old lady, knew that Dolly was wrong!
Even after she tried to cut off his dick, because he was out of her sight for 5 minutes and she totally believed he was screwing Crystal in that time, Edge marries her to protect her from being charged. Honestly, while Edge was in the hospital, someone should have taken Dolly out, she's an absolute head case and danger to the club. Dolly should have had an "accident". So Edge could be free of her. But, even though he marries her, gives her a beautiful wedding(though she cried about him not getting on one knee, wtf, do the club members even do that?, immediately after their wedding he talks about having kids and Dolly takes more shots at him about him being a criminal and he would be a bad father. I mean, seriously. They are 31 at this point, newly married and Dolly STILL fights with Edge. They literally can't be happy for 5 minutes.

I did not enjoy their story. It made no sense, it was way too long for them to be fighting so much, like over a decade of this shit.

I hope Axel is a better story!

Been looking forward to this book since finishing Atone. This author is one of my top favourites since she burst onto the scene last year. Even from the beginning of the book you'll understand why...

After a jaw dropping beginning you're transported back to the start of Edge and Dolly. The highs and lows of their story laid out in gritty details. In my orginal review (accidentally deleted) I fated them as modern day MC style Romeo and Juliet. The stuff they went through and were put through will break your heart.

It certainly broke Dolly for a bit.. Will the strong and steady Edge be able to pull her from her self imposed ledge and from sharp objects? As a mental health sufferer myself, I understand the dark path she's traveled, but boy did I want to shake her a time or two. These two have been through so much together and apart, will they drop those walls back down and be able to find strength in each other, and be the power couple people look up to again? Will there be an Edge and Dolly forever?

Yet again the author has written a stunner of a book that will fling you round a rollercoaster of emotions with no safety bar. Like usual, definitely reccomend!!!

Gritty and raw to the point of perfection, with the irresistible chemistry and a dash of enemies/friends to lovers touch…..and next you realize you have been left sleepless and totally groggy the next morning, still unable to find the perfect word to do this book justice.
Cassandra gives us the whole Dolly and Edge’s story, everything - the full background, the history, the bone deep love and care and sweetness that exists in this romance .Dolly, with her need to have him according to some of her already formed image. He, the infamous biker who does not fit into her happily ever after. They together, an explosion of lust and fireworks of emotions.
Insecurity and rashness separate them the first time, circumstances the second time, but from the very beginning to the end, you simply know they belong together, they’re born for each other. The author leads us on a journey through different stages of their relationship, mixing the past with the present in her uniquely, amazing way that grabs our attention from the first lines. Exploring issues, such as hardship, infidelity, acceptance, the notorious MC brotherhood bonds, she offers us downright insight into both main characters, using alternating 1st person narrative which is absolutely seamless.
And her way of shaking you to the core, and leaving you emotion –wrecked is turned on its highest in this book. You will giggle, swoon and want to throw your book at times. Even want to enter the book and kick Edge’s butt, and after you turn several pages, you will want to enter again but this time to hug him. Cassandra is not afraid to push the boundaries of the conventional, to challenge her readers by using concepts such as harshness and cruelty in the name of love and belonging.
The plot is extremely solid and seasoned with more than enough elements: compelling connection, jaded lovers, soul mates struggles that will stay in the readers’ minds long after they finish the book.
Cassandra Robbins will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, adding such steaming moments that will make you blush. This is definitely one more than amazing addition to the already sensational series that everyone who enjoys love stories should not miss. I have enjoyed every single one, this one being my favorite, and Cassandra’s finest work till now. I simply count down the days till the next one.

I just finished reading Repent and I loved it so hard it’s consuming my every thought!

Cassandra Robbins just keeps upping the ante with her phenomenal storytelling in each subsequent story of the Disciples Series... and Repent is a sure bet and winner in that regard!

The relationship between Edge and Dolly is dynamic and complex Yet, their long standing love is deep rooted and fundamentally simple since childhood, not to mention, intense as they grow older! Plain and simple, they early on develop an inexplicable connection of unadulterated love despite their intertwined dysfunctional homes through the MC.

Their story is filled with twists and turns, ups and downs, angst, sacrifices, meddling, insecurities, and hurt - all in their quest to find their true happiness together.

Dolly has a desire to conform wanting to be like the “in kids” in school, aspiring to be accepted, wanting to distance herself from the MC but yet conflicted. She was so in love with Edge while at the same time fearing his ties to the Club and afraid of losing him despite her being a product of that same MC environment. “A constant competition that she felt compelled to win.”

Edge sacrificed himself for the sake of the Club after a terrifying incident while protecting Dolly. However, it was Club first, even though he had a deep love and was committed to Dolly. He was not a conformist with no desire to fit in to the world she so wanted to be a part of. He was a survivor, accepting his life circumstances and trying to stay true to himself while trying his best to accept Dolly’s desire to be someone other than her and to fit in. He just couldn’t resist her.

The evolution and ultimate realizations these two characters achieved was heartwarming considering all they went through.

“She’s my greatest love and biggest downfall..”
“Edge and Dolly, you can’t have one without the other.”
“This is us. Edge and Dolly forever.”

Do yourself a favor and read this book! I strongly recommend starting the series with Lethal and the Atone as the characters are interconnected and reading them in order helps with the flow of the series.

Seriously I have no words. This book is absolutely fantastic. I think Edge may now be my favourite Disciple. He is a hopeless romantic and his love for Dolly is beyond comprehension.

Cassandra has a wonderful way with words. Her character descriptions are spot on and you can see and feel every moment oozing off the pages.

Dolly and Edge are just meant to be. They have an overwhelming love and passion for each other. They're sexy times are scorching. They have so many ups and downs as they work throughout their relationship to get what they want. I got so frustrated on many occasions, but Cassandra made it all better as the story unfolds.

I say no more. Everyone needs to read and experience a love beyond all.

Cassandra has hit the nail on the head yet again with another wonderful story. She never fails or disappoints. I give Repent a hands down 5⭐ read.

Phenomenal! Edge and Dolly forever!

WOW! Edge and Dolly's story is emotional, raw, gritty and heartbreaking. They took me on one intense roller-coaster ride that threw my emotions all over the place. Do I love them - absolutely, but they broke my heart so many times! Their relationship is explosive, volatile and extremely passionate. Life is not easy for these two but somehow they make it work. Edge and Dolly have a pretty messy relationship and it seems that this is how their love works. In order to make it beautiful they both need to accept the mess.

Their unbelievable chemistry lit my kindle on fire. They gave me goosebumps and chills with how in-sync and in tune to each other they are. Their love gave me utter chills.

When I read the quote below my heart was beating so rapidly and the hair on my arms stood up. It was just so perfect and it really explains their chemistry.

"All of a sudden, I don't feel well. That dread or fluttering in my chest has taken over. I don't need to turn around to know. I can feel him. The hair on my arms stands up and my skin pebbles. I can feel him. He's a force that only my body seeks. I turn and grab a hold of the end of the table. Edge stands in front of me. I swear to God it's as though someone took a sharp object and inserted it into my heart."

Once again I am blown away at how this amazing author can write such intense and emotional love stories that make us readers swoon and gush with love! Bravo!

*3.5 Edge and Dolly 4ever stars*

Edge and Dolly, Dolly and Edge. If you've read the first two books in this series, you know you can't have one without the other! They were always part of The Disciple stories, but now the spotlight is on them and it shines bright.

It was great to get the full background between these two. The life of a Disciple is never easy, this is all Edge has ever known. Dolly has had a hard time acknowledging her upbringing, always striving to assimilate into another way of life. She knew what kind life was destined for Edge, but even after all their time together it was tough for her to accept it. Her wavering attitude struck a cord with me.

Their love was extremely intense. Their need for one another off the charts. I felt their heartache, struggles and happiness throughout their journey. Put your helmet on and settle in for a bumpy ride!

I don't do reviews often but wow I just had to for this one. The first book from Cassandra Robbins I read was Power, which I actually enjoyed despite a few issues. The female lead was entertaining and I actually liked Jett. Then I moved on to its sequel, which I liked less but I figure not every book is going to be good. Then I read Jason and Eve's story and was mostly entertained. I skipped over book 2 of the Disciple series because nothing about the premise drew me in. I was excited to find out about Edge and Dolly, though, so I dived right in. God, I wish I hadn't.

I'm sorry, but this is quite frankly a terrible book and I really don't understand why everyone loves Edge. But then again, the male character is very frequently defended while the female character is abhorred. I see the trend continues. I don't generally believe that authors write what they believe, but I have started to think that Cassandra Robbins must really detest women. Unless it's the heroine or maybe her friend if she's lucky, every female character is presented as a slut looking to "steal" the hero or just someone completely unworthy of existing. Gag, honestly.

Unfortunately, Dolly doesn't even get to be semi uplifted like the two heroines that came before her. She quite understandably hates the MC life and is completely gaslit by EVERYONE, including Edge, that SHE is the problem. Don't even get me started on the fact that Edge is a goddamn self-fulfilling prophecy. He hates that she doesn't trust him? Well, damn. Guess he just has to cheat on her. He does actually cheat on her (handwaved away by many reviews defending him) and almost does it again ON THEIR WEDDING NIGHT when she doesn't immediately jump for joy at the thought of him impregnating her. He's a prick. It's ridiculous and disgusting, especially since the male characters routinely go apeshit when another man just looks at "his woman." And no, this is not just a trend in her biker series.

Furthermore, the fact that he and everyone else brainwashes Dolly into accepting both the club and carrying his spawn by the end made my actual skin crawl. I adore heroes and heroines having babies, but that her concerns and fears were just dismissed and she was immediately the "bad guy" (labeled that way by EVERYONE) was off-putting and no way in hell do I think she's wrong for having reservations about bringing children into that life.

I would also like to say that I am fully aware that the alpha genre comes with assholes, but Edge is not an alpha. He's a whiny f**kboi who can't stand the fact that the life he's chosen for himself is not compatible with the woman he's chosen to love and that she's too stubborn to just shut up and give him what he wants. It's a real pity he gets his way in the end.

Read this book if you want to see an example of successful gaslighting and breaking down someone's personality until they do and exist exactly the way you want them to. If you want a compelling romance story, however, definitely give it a miss. And yes, to the reviews saying Edge will 100% cheat on Dolly again when the next argument props up: he probably would if he were real. But their cameos in future installments will act like their romance is earned and believable and that Edge is perfect.

I will not be reading anything else by this author. I like dark romance and I don't need every character to be good or perfect, but even I got thoroughly tired of the misogyny, slutshaming and constant fatphobia in her books.

This book is a page turning thrill ride that you don't want to get off. Cassandra Robbins has delivered her best book yet. I have absolutely loved every book of hers so far, but Repent was just beyond fantastic. Edge and Dolly are everything and I couldn't put this book down. Very well written by Cassandra Robbins and I can't wait to see what comes next

Wow! If I could give this book more stars I would. This is the best book of the series.
Edge and Dolly have loved each other since they where six years old. It wasn’t always easy and it wasn’t always pretty but it was real. I teared up many times while reading their story. I’m looking forward to Axels story.

She’s my greatest love and my biggest downfall.

description


Repent is the third installment in the Disciples series, a collection of interconnected MC romance stories that features the lifelong love story of Edge Daniels & Dolly Dunghart. It’s been Edge & Dolly since the beginning of this series, now we get to see where they started and what brought them to present day in this series. Soulmates who can’t get it right despite the deep love they share, a love so violent & desperate it has the power to cause destruction unlike anything this club has ever seen. Can love make you crazy? Does love really overcome all? If Edge & Dolly have anything to say about it, they will run it all over to get to their HEA.....even if it means running over each other in the process. This is their story, Edge & Dolly forever.

“Always a fight with you, Dolly. But in the end, I always win.”

I discovered Cassandra through this series, instantly becoming captivated by the world she created with the Disciples MC. I have yet to give any installment 5 stars yet (although Lethal was REALLY close), but this was the one I felt could reach that level if she handled their story right. I mean I have loved these two and been desperate for their story since they were introduced back in Lethal. I knew of the three installments so far, this would be THE ONE that tugged at my heart strings and went far deeper than the others.....and boy, did it ever.
description
Edge & Dolly’s lifelong love isn’t easy, it’s raw & messy & disastrous. It devastated me, gave me hope, made me happy, broke my heart, and caused some pretty intense rage within me. But all those feelings came together to create a love story unlike any we’ve seen in this series so far.


Book Facts:
Told in: Dual POV, time jumping from present day back to childhood to progress back to present day to complete the story.
Type? Focuses on one couple, however it must be read in order otherwise the reader will lack necessary background for overall story/“world” to make sense.
Triggers: Attempted sexual assault and minor OW element.
Ends in: HFN ending for couple, with overall MC story continuing with Axel in next installment.

The Main Players:
Edge Daniels: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
My soul mate. My favorite person and my mortal enemy, all wrapped up in a beautiful package of auburn hair and blue eyes.

Dolly Dunghart:⭐️⭐️⭐️
We Disciples are raised at a young age to lie and not show any emotion. Not my Dolly. She shows me everything.


What I liked:
❤️ Fans of this series know present day Edge & Dolly, we witness that they have a crazy yet insanely deep love for one another yet we’ve never seen exactly why that is. Well, she gave us their background story here and it is everything I imagined.....
“I’ve waited my whole life for this. As I gaze at her, I see her at so many stages of our lives. I see her hanging with all of us rough boys, trying to keep up. I see her trying on lipsticks for the first time and telling me that she’ll only wear red. I see her.”
.....it was vital for us to get to see how their connection and soul-scorching love formed, how it was damaged, and how it boiled to the point of where we left off in Atone. It’s really hard, BUT it’s also a necessary & beautiful pain.

❤️What kinda blows my mind is how Cassandra was able to have me believe in these two before ever really diving into their story. In Repent, it just confirmed how beautifully authentic their love felt. It’s messy, hurtful, healing, selfish, sacrificial, chaotic, and dangerous.....it’s the kind of love that comes from two souls connected all their life despite everything thrown at them. It’s by far the most believable of the series so far, and I highly doubt she’s going to top it.

❤️It’s funny, in both Lethal & Atone I saw Edge as more of the “bad guy” and Dolly as the poor woman who was likely done wrong. I’m not saying Edge is an angel, but this book completely changed my opinion on him. He fights for her, sacrifices everything for her, takes what he can get, etc.....and yet I felt it deep in my bones when he uttered this.....
“You kill me. How many times are you going to break my heart?”

....because it seemed to be his ongoing theme throughout. He may be rough around the edges, but he is definite book boyfriend material.

What I didn’t:
🖤How a single book can change your entire opinion about a former beloved character.....

.....I’m not saying I don’t like Dolly now, I’m simply saying I like her a whole lot less. She doesn’t have it easy in this book either, but I found her to be the biggest obstacle in her own love story. She has some SERIOUS issues, which would’ve been okay had they been truly acknowledged & handled....instead it seemed like I was supposed to feel sorry for her when she was the cause of like 90% of the heartbreak!

🖤Cassandra did such a phenomenal job with Edge & Dolly’s story, giving us such a painful peek into how destructive their love was. It’s clear what the issues are, what it is going to take to save these two....instead of putting in the same effort into really exploring & truly solving them, it’s handled instead as an instant epiphany.
description
That works in some stories.....in one with such deep rooted insecurities, resentment, & misunderstandings as this one, it takes more than a 5 min “Come to Jesus” meeting to resolve them. It felt cheap and far less than these two deserved.


The Verdict:
description
As far as MC romance series go, The Disciples is one of the best out there right now. I have enjoyed every installment so far, but this one was just a notch above in terms of how painfully beautiful it was. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons this series is so easy for me to recommend....every installment so far as went past the typical steamy surface read so often found in the MC world, each installment has been a perfect mix of the emotional depth & smoking hot smut. And Edge & Dolly? They were able to bring the type of pain my masochistic heart craves.


“This is us. Edge and Dolly forever.”

Edge and Dolly have that "love for the ages" thing happening. There are so many things that keep these 2 apart....But mostly it was themselves getting in their own way. There were times when I wanted to slap one (or both) of them. I cried! Yes I cried. And I wanted to throw my kindle at least 2 times. This love story starts all the way back when they are kids. And it takes you through some different stages of their lives together. High school Edge and Dolly were really entertaining. I am not going lie, there are some times when you start to feel like Edge is being too harsh with her. And there was one scene where I wanted to jump into the book and physically harm him. But you have to let Edge and Dolly work themselves out. Numerous times I kept thinking "I just want them to be together!" Nothing came easy for them, but it was all totally worth it in the end. I know everyone likes to claim book boyfriends, but Edge is totally off limits! He belongs to Dolly only! So y'all better back off or she may go all Dolly on you! (I think I am going to use that phrase in my everyday life now). 5 LOVE FOR THE AGES 🌟.

Loving this series. Cassandra has been so on point with the first 3 books in the series I can not WAIT to see what she comes up with next!

Edge and Dolly's story was an emotional rollercoaster! I absolutely loved Edge he was always looking out for Dolly and putting her needs first. My heart went out to Dolly and everything she went through but I didn't really like her. This has been my favorite of the series. So much angst which I love! A great read and series. 💜

Am I still crying? I think I might be. This is such a rollercoaster road ride of a read. It is the literal story of a life long love. It has always been Dolly and Edge. Starting at age 6 for Dolly and catches up to the current timeline of the series. Their story isn't easy. Neither have had an easy or good life. It's not a particularly dark read but it isn't an easy read either. Both of them have traumas that make things difficult to them at times. You will cry tears of sadness at times reading this but you will get your happy tears at the end.

I loved this book. This series is great and I'm glad Dolly and Edge finally got their story so we can see were they have been but were they are going too. I really recommend it.

What a wicked, wild ride! 5 FANTASTICAL STARS!!

I was completely prepared to love Dolly & Edge, I was NOT prepared for the level of insanity in Repent!

A full on ninja level rollercoaster that made Blade and Eve's craziness in Lethal look sane. Every bit of it is a fascinating, gritty, dark look into life in and around a 1%MC. While they are still my favourite couple, I had a hard time not hating Dolly up until the bitter end and I have a whole new level of respect for Edge.

Repent is hard, gritty, dddiiiirrrty, sexier than anything Cassandra Robbins has given us before, and a full on, high flying rollercoaster ride! I can't WAIT to see what happens next!

Just when I didn't think I could love a series more Cassandra goes and writes this one. I think this one is my favorite because we really get to see just how far the love between Edge and Dolly goes. It starts from when they were young kids and through the years. It hasn't been an easy road to say the least. They have to overcome some huge hurdles in their own lives as well as a couple.

I love the feeling that you don't want to put this down, luckily I started it early in the day and was able to finish it later that night. I was reading snippets in between cooking and doing things around the house. It's a relatively easy read but it is jam packed to the gills with good stuff. In order to get the full effect of their story, of the essence of Edge and Dolly, I highly recommend starting with Lethal, then Atone.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for them, and the rest of the Club.

Holy S**t! Edge and Dolly forever. What a ride Cassandra Robbins takes you on with Edge and Dolly's story. Its an emotional rollercoaster with ups and downs and everything in between. We've seen glimpses of their relationship through out the other books but those were just surface looks their is soo much to their story. There is no Dolly without Edge and no Edge without Dolly. It's truly a love story for the ages. I cant say enough good things about this book. Their chemistry is perfect they are soul mates through and through and they go through shit this isnt a unicorn and rainbow love story that's for sure. And I wouldn't want it to be.

Edge and Dolly have belonged to each other from the start. Imagine a world where you can’t breathe without the other half of your soul. Every thought, action, decision is ordered because of the one who owns your heart. Rational thoughts don’t exist in this world. You lose all sense of self because you’re not your own. The Disciples live by a code that the club always comes first. But there is no Edge without Dolly and no Dolly without Edge. Their story is not built on unicorns and rainbows. It’s built on leather, brotherhood, and devotion. It’s a story of learning to love oneself and accepting each other as you are. You will experience a rollercoaster of emotions with these amazing characters and wish for more!

I knew Edge and Dolly's story would be a rocky rollercoaster but I had no idea it would be so beautifully heartbreaking and tragically perfect. When two equally strong, passionate, and fierce personalities come together you know the sparks will fly. And fly they did! Edge in full on alpha mode was a sight to behold! The chemistry and love between these two were undeniable. Their love story was full of innocence, passion, betrayal, forgiveness, selfless deeds, thoughtless words, unending friendships, and moments that simply took my breath away! Repent is another winner in the Disciples series!
