If you like dark romances and the "mafia" plus romance this is a series for you. It isn't for everyone, there are triggers but in the end it is about love, family and what you do to protect that.
One of the things I really like about this series is that these are bad men and they are not apologetic about it. There are a few torture scenes that are not glossed over at all. Sure a little unrealistic that they tolerate violence or exploitations of kids and little violence to women but it is more realistic than many mafia stories where there is little violence and the hero just wants to get out of life and bellyaches about it. There is violence in this, members die because they live a violent life, others are hurt. They have to make sure that they don't bring down too much public attention on themselves so they can't get away with anything in public. So some realism is present.
For all that, there is real love between the characters and a number of funny scenes of them interacting with kids. Violence doesn't sink into everything in the story. The characters are more layered than just violent, dumb gangsters. Obsessed with some women and will go to the ends of the earth to have them, but tempered with some other things as well.
The first five books are all gathered here, plus a few short stories that weren't in the original books. It gives some additional insight into some of the characters and show a vulnerable side of Lucifer that he doesn't show to just about anyone. But the one who scares me the most is young Adam. But maybe, just maybe one little girl will be able to temper his sociopath tendencies.
Enjoy.

I’m obsessed with this pair and also weirdly curious if they act out some of this themselves? TMI? Probably.
But hot damn.
This series has me in a chokehold. It’s the kinky, breeding, alpha male, mafia-esque books we want to read.
I can’t wait for the rest. And I’m anxious as hell to read the next gen series, because that’s gonna be gooood.

Love These Books!
While each book is available individually, the short stories are not. They are worth it. These are all unique dark romances and hard to explain. Mafia but not Italian or Russian. Women claimed by violent men but everything is consensual and very hot. There is just something hypnotic about these romances and the men in them. Cannot wait for James' story and hope one day we get to read about Adam and Abigail.

I love this series. Reading it again for the bonus content was well worth the time and effort.
This is a dark romance tho. These are NOT good guys. They're violent criminals.
HOWEVER, When it comes to the people they love and are loyal to ... they are dedicated and will do literally anything to protect them. Sometimes it's violent, although never violent towards the ones they love. Sometimes it's tender.
These guys are uber alphas barely tamed by their women and children. This is NOT a tame romance. It's gritty and dirty and in real life wouldn't fly even a little for most of us. But the great thing about fiction ... we can delve into the "yeah, never in a million years would I go for that" and lose ourselves from the clusterf*ck reality is most of the time (especially lately).
If you don't like dirty talking, super possessive alpha males then move along this isn't the book series for you. If you love that stuff in your fiction ... then go ahead and enjoy. I sure did.

The first three books in this collection seriously hooked me. I devoured them, and wanted more. The fourth book was one I still enjoyed, but not with quite the same passion. The fifth book I wanted to love, and while I did like it, it just didn't wow me as much as the first three.
If you're looking for dark romance, with alpha-hole heroes, then you've come to the right place. These men are over the top, but in that toe-curling way. The bad boys you should fear and run from, and yet, there's just something about them drawing you closer.
I'm off to find Trapping Sophia. I need to know what happens next to these men and their expanding families. (And I'm really hoping for a book about Lucifer's son all grown up). -- I admit I didn't read the sneak peek of Trapping Sophia, which means I missed the shorter books at the end. I'll circle back to those after I read Sophia's story.

Disciples: A Dark Romance Collection
⭐️⭐️ / 5
I only made it through the first novella in this collection, and honestly, that was enough for me. The tone and writing felt really juvenile, more like a high school wattpad story than a polished dark romance. The characters read young, the dialogue was cringey instead of edgy, and the “dark” elements felt more like surface level aesthetic than anything genuinely intense or emotional.
Because I did not continue past the first story, I cannot speak for the rest of the authors in this anthology. It is possible that some of the other novellas are stronger. But the opener is supposed to hook you, and this one really did not. If you are looking for mature dark romance with depth, tension, and solid character work, this collection might not be the best fit.

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!
I lOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book ! There are 6 stories in this book that all interconnect. I have no favorites because they all are great! There is romance, mystery, possessive men, suspense that kept my attention from the very first page! This saved me money also because instead of buying each book separately I had all books for one low price! Now here are my only grievances : Trapping Sophia in this book gives you her beginning story, her book you will have to buy, also I hope we will get more of Andrew and Amy and Lilith and Lucifer because I want to know what's happening with Adam! This author is new to me and I wasn't disappointed. I will continue to read their books ( 2 authors). This is a must read!!! Thank you for entertaining me!

Explicit, sensual, family drama, and expressive
What a great read, this seriousness getting better every time I read it. In this collection is the five books (sixth not out yet) and diversity stories about the characters from the books. Strong alpha men who know what they want and take it. Very strong female leads who put up one heck of a fight. These are not for the easy hearted person. There is some very dark scenes about real life situations. This "mafia" is a tight family group. some taboo subjects (makes it even better), and the bad guys, who are the good guys, actually win this time. Highly recommended for the mature audiences to read.

When I asked for a recommendation this box set is what I told about so I figured why not. First I read this on KU so no verified purchase. Now about this box set, each book in it does end there are no cliffhangers but at the same time each book is a continuation of the story line just from a different lead person. All of the main men are strong, dark and so alpha and the females are all sassy with enough backbone to keep me from rolling my eyes. Plenty of heat and some laughs and even a few tears. This along with the some darker content makes this a page-turner that I couldn't put down. I am waiting for James's story and YES I recommend this box set.

so wrong it’s right!
These books are not your typical love stories. I don’t remember how many times while reading I told myself I should not be liking this!
There is so much action, in every sense of the word. The Characters are well developed and you become attached to them and then each book you get to revisit them.
If you’ve ever had dark fantasies, ever lived through something that stole your power from you and you want to reclaim it by having it be on you’re own terms, these are great books for that.
They are powerful, raw, dirty and action packed. Definitely recommend. Wish they didn’t end and can’t wait to read more from this dynamic duo!

The Disciples collection is one of my favorite series I have ever read. I love the strong alpha leads and how they find “their woman” in the most unusual ways. This is a great way to read the series in order without missing one bit of steamy hotness. I especially loved the bonus chapters that tie all the stories together. Izzy and Sean rocked this series and I can’t wait to read Jame’s story. If you love a good mafia romance with steamy scenes and plenty of action in between, you need to pick up this series and start reading!

Violence, Sex,Love in that order.
The compilation of the Disciples books From Keeping Lily to Taking Meghan plus bonus stories including a little Christmas cheer Garden City style Santa's and Strip Clubs oh my.
The bonus stories are what make this compilation so wonderful. A look into the dark world of Lucifer and his men between books, plus a look into James. ( I'm not gonna spoil it, even though I really want to) however, even it you have all the books already, it's worth having the collection just for the extra stories.

Breathtaking
I have read each book separately so many times, and I still can’t get enough of them. This set has made it easier for me to read non stop. The short stories are dark and perfect. These men are the true definition of real alpha, possessive, jealous, perfect men. Just open your mind, let go, and enjoy it. I promise you will become a Simon (stalker) and won’t be able to leave the disciples alone anymore. Izzy and Sean really know how to please their readers.
My only complaint is that I need a new set of panties Lol.
Can’t wait for the next book!

Delicious
Loved the characters they are truly 🔥 and also make you laugh at some of the antics , These Alpha males don't muck around when it comes to taking their women Once they decide there's no going back, they ladies might object and put up a fight but it makes no difference but one things for sure they do know how to keep the men on their toes I have a feeling that young Adam is going to be as dark as Lucifer I haven't read anything else from these authors but certainly will now really enjoyed this collection of books

This collection of stories is definitely a trip down the dark side. The characters all undergo transformations in each story. In the first story, Lucifer, the head of a powerful crime family becomes drawn and enamored with Lily. Lily goes through her own changes and does fall for Lucifer.
In all of these stories I love the darker sides of the men being drawn to the women that show them their “light” sides.
This is a fantastic collection and I look forward to seeing more stories with the other characters I have come to enjoy.

I received an ARC and I'm freely reviewing.
I freaking LOVED this series. Seriously, people if are a fan of dark, broody, genuinely good guys who have a dark side this is for you. So, I thought I actually read all the books already but I missed one so I fell in love with one more. One of my favorite is Simon, I know he's not for everyone but I adore him. You won't be disappointed in this series and the new extras. I wasn't!

Absolutely must read
This book is amazing!! I have read them separately before. However having them all in one with the extra epologs is perfect!! This series is dark, gritty, yet love shines true. The men are ott alpha, doing anything to protect 6ge ones they love and the family they built. I definitely recommend this series and these authors to anyone who loves action, love, and isn't afraid to read a little dark!!!

All of the disciples grouped together! While each story is available separately, here you can enjoy them in order and it also includes New extra short stories of their lives.
If your genre is over the top alpha males and their strong women with violence and romance thrown in...this is set IS your jam.
Their stories set the reader up for the next disciples journey - James story! Can’t wait for his story!!

The Disciples: A Dark Romance Collection is a wonderful way to introduce one self to Izzy Sweet and Sean Moriarty's writing. in this collection you get the first five books of the Disciples series as well as several short stories. I loved reading each one while being drawn in to the characters world. This collection is perfect for any who is a fan of dark romances, as well as both authors. I look forward to reading more stories from both Izzy and Sean.

My Favorite from the Short Stories
Raising my Glock, I take a second to get a good angle then pull the trigger twice. The first shot rips through the Santa’s neck and the second hits him directly in the head, instantly dropping him to the floor.
Not gonna lie. After all the Christmas shit I’ve been doing at home, popping a cap in Santa’s head gives me a sick kind of satisfaction.
I could do this shit for fun all day.
Yeah, I’m about to let out some Christmas season frus

Love these group of stories
You think they are evil but they love so hard they are protecting what they own/possess, even if it takes they women some time to see the "unconditional" love these women have. They need to protect their families, friends, and the city from the real evil ones. So good and to see the kids have their own story so cute. Looking forward to read the 2nd volume.

Although these books are available individually, The Disciples: A dark romance collection has some amazing short stories that are totally worth the read. Once you read the first book, you will not be able to stop. There is just the right amount of romance and thrill within these fabulous stories. A must buy trust me; it is completely worth it! I can't wait for more.

Absolutely amazing dark romance collection, one of my favorite series of books. Each couple has explosive chemistry with intense connections that leave the reader wanting more. Each book ends in a HEA with characters intertwined throughout the series. I would definitely recommend these fabulous Authors.

It’s always great to go back to the beginning and remember just why you are hooked on a series. The disciples series is not for the faint of heart, its beyond brutal at moments and you will question at times “did I just really read that?” But the couples, the love, the family bond is amazing and the story line that runs between each book keeps you wanting to know exactly what is going on.

It's a cold and crazy world
This is a dark and delicious world where the Hs are depraved villains. And boy do I love a bad guy. I have to say, out of this series, Gabriel is the best of them. Yummy.
And ohhhh man is Abigail gonna have to watch out. Good grief! Poor girl doesn't even know.
