Force: The Disciples, Book 5

I do NOT consider this to be a STAND-ALONE read. It is part of a series that contains multiple reoccurring characters, details that cannot be adequately recapped within the scope of another story that contributes to the story universe / world building, overlapping / concurrent timelines and overarching themes.** Caution: Contains scenes with reference to, or detailed graphic violence against females that fit into the storyline, as well as other topics that may be difficult for sensitive readers. High-level categories are listed below. If you have not read any of the previous stories in the series, the following may contain spoilers. **The story universe is solid, the characters have been interacting on and off throughout the stories, but we finally get to learn about players that have been living on the edges of the other stories.I love this series, but I struggled with how long it takes for Ryder and Julianna to develop, as it occurs over about 10 years. Then there is the manipulative train wreck of Cindy. Just no …. No way it is even remotely plausible that anyone, but especially someone with a brain like Ryder, would put up with her OR turn their backs on something / someone they really want like Julianna. I almost gave this 3 stars because of this.There are very few grammatical issues primarily comprised of incorrect word choice, punctuation error, and missed words. I uploaded my comments to goodreads for anyone interested. I mention these for readers such as myself that visualize the story as it is read, because errors interrupt the flow.⛔️ The series contains references to, or scenes detailing, subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some, including: adult language; derogatory terms; mental health challenges; steamy adult intimate scenes with dominance, submission, spanking for pleasure and punishment, restraints, “bottom” play, breath play, sensory deprivation, voyeurism, exhibitionism, etc.; violence such as kidnapping, abduction, murder, death, torture, assault, fighting, betrayal, coercion, blackmail, threats, subterfuge, money laundering, gun running, cheating, prostitution, human trafficking, mafia / cartels, arson, drug use / addiction, drug manufacturing, drug distribution, etc.

Out of all the couples in the series these two are my favorite. Shocker, she winds up pregnant. Ryder has know that Julianna is his person because he dreamt it. He spent so much of his time fighting it. Ryder is accused of triple murder and must deal with it. I loved getting to see Jett Powers. IMO it felt like all the stories in the series, follow the same lines, and in my opinion, it felt very cut and paste.

Juliana and Ryder have been connected since the day she came into the clubhouse to rescue her friend Gia. Now it is their time and destiny to finally become what they were meant to be. This was a great book.

This was a great read. Ryder is handsome, hot and dominant. Julianna is sweet, innocent and submissive. We find out how the two meet 10 years ago and reconnect. Lots is going on the Disciples are being investigated by the FBI and Ryder is being charged with 3 counts of 1st degree murder. There is lots of hot steamy scenes and you don’t want to miss this one.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Force by Cassandra Robbins was one of my most anticipated releases for this year. It’s book five in The Disciples series and has a cast of characters you can’t help but love, and desire. I never wrote reviews for the first four books but reading Force has made me want to go back and read Lethal, Atone, Repent and Ignite all over again.Force consists of a little of Ryder’s past and his present, letting the reader learn about those who have become important to him and why. Ryder as a character rivals Blade for me when it comes to the most badass, carnal and stimulating biker of this California based MC, but having read his own origin story now, I’ll have to go with the Disciples Enforcer being my favorite.When it comes to dirty talk and attracting the ladies, Ryder is king. But when it comes to him finding his own soulmate and old lady, Ryder himself will sign up to be the last alpha male to be wrangled by a woman. But when he meets Julianna, their chemistry turns his world on its side and he learns that maybe there’s more than one fated future. Their story has just the right amount of sensuality, tension and sentiment, with all sorts of obstacles in their way before finding a HEA.This book, like all of her others in this series, is well written with lots of heat, drizzles of humor and fantastic banter throughout and really amps up the suspense and mystery until the very end. With a vulgar mouth like Ryder’s, you’d expect his book to be all about the spicy scenes but just like all of the other novels in The Disciples series, there’s a brilliantly thought-out plot to carry the reader from beginning to end. I was so very happy to dive back into their world and more than thrilled for what is to come.And for those who are fans of Serena Akeroyd, I definitely, DEFINITELY recommend picking up this book to see what is ahead for a handful of our favorite bad boys.

Each book just gets better & better! What am I going to do when the series finishes?!! It was great seeing how Ryder finally had to give in & admit Julianna was the one for him! Julianna turned out to be a strong character. I didn’t like Cindy but she’s obviously a girl with a lot of problems. I’m looking forward to reading her story. Love the crossover with the O’Donnellys & Sinners! Keep up the good work. A must read in my view.

I knew Ryder was my favourite! I always love his type in the MC books I read! I did slightly struggle with this book and read the cross over about Cindy to see what happens to her before I felt this review as parts in this book and Cindy’s truly did piss me off especially with how mean the girls were being to Julianna and enabling Cindy’s addictions and behaviours!! I know just a book but that’s how good the writing is!!

Love this author's style of writing. True to the romance genre, keeps the details relevant, minimal fluff, interesting main characters with the male lead being strong, alpha, possessive, all the traits which make him hot and the steamy scenes are frequent and hot! I read the blurb about cowriting one of the 5 Points stories with Serena A who's writing I have enjoyed previously but the latest release, Aiden's story was so boring that I left a review for that book. Just wanted to note down that I hope this author does not change her writing style to be similar to Serena A because from what I can tell Serena's talent is on a downward spiral and has been for some time. She fills her stories with too many irrelevant details, not true to the romance genre, just mind numbingly boring. I hope to keep enjoying Cassandra Robbins well written, steamy romance stories in future.

Loved this book and this series, if you like dark and gritty MC reads then this is a must read series.Ryder did not disappoint the man is a Force of nature on every level and I freaking loved him.

Well, i have just binged this whole series in four days.OMG , i need the next book now with that ending.I loved every second of this book, and i am so looking forward to what's to come in this universe.Fantastic five star read that I would definitely recommend.
