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.
God, this book. It slashed my heart. That damn David (Poet) pissed me off and made me cry. And now, I can’t stop thinking about him.

If you’re interested in a great book then this
Is the book for you.
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
I loved this book!!
Charlie has always loved David. After a tragic accident that cost him his daughter he disappeared for almost a decade.
From their first reunion in a freaking parking lot these two were on fire. Holy smokes. I read this book so fast because I just can’t seem to get enough of these dirty Disciples.
I love all the suspense, revenge, passion and steam. Cassandra Robbins writing is perfection in this book.
Atone was dark, sad and tortured with some steamy scenes thrown in. David has went through hell and his only priority is to avenge his daughter’s death. The only light in his life is Charlie. She continues to fight for him but he just doesn’t believe he is worth the fight. I hurt for these two. They were perfect soulmates.
Love this! I was not expecting David’s story to be book 2 but it fit perfectly into the overall series. I am a sucker for a tortured soul and he gives me all the feels! Definitely worth the read!
Love this whole series.
David and Charlie have one dysfunctional relationship, it’s a real roller-coaster.
The first chapter did put me off as Charlie was 17. I thought it was going to be an age gap story similar to the lethal till I found out David’s age, which made me abit happy.
This story of course is an MC Romance story. One kiss with Charlie ruins David’s life, he isn’t the same anymore. Until he comes back to seek revenge and reunites with Charlie.
3.5 stars
Hot, but seriously damaged hero, amazingly brave heroine, sizzling chemistry…all perfectly packed in the new steamy romance ‘Atone’ by Cassanda Robbins. What more can a reader ask?
Returning to the old place, two same people, known to each other, yet unfamiliar now. Same in some ways, but changed under the harshness of their lives. He with only one, single goal. The desire for revenge is what moves him, but where will it take him in the end?
Broken beyond repair, changed by the loss and pain, can he find it in himself to offer her some light in all that darkness?
And she, Charlie, brave and determined, and unbearably attracted to him, as in the old days. But is that enough to carry all that burden with him?
Cassandra one more time proves to be a real master in using her unique way to explore topics that aren’t easy to read, that will shock and delight the reader at the same time. Remorse, pain, loss so skillfully intertwined with lust, desire and love.
The author leads the readers on a profound and detailed trip, and creates so fully developed characters, giving the readers full insight and opportunity to know and understand the reasons of every action.
The explosive chemistry and devoted love simply melt the words from the pages. So many details, so many layers of emotions and amazing characters, both main and secondary, make this book a perfect choice for every reader.
“Listen to me. I can’t do this. My reality is not yours. I’m here for one thing, and that is what drives me.”
She shakes her head. “I don’t believe that.”
“Beautiful, by the end of this year, there’s a good chance I’ll be dead or in jail. No matter which way it goes, that makes me unavailable.”
David and Charlie!!! Such a good slow burn, steamy love story. I didn’t like David in the beginning, he definitely grew on me. This book is great and their chemistry even better!
Wow. I mean just wow. How the hell Atone was even better and darker than Lethal? I have no idea! If Blade McCormick had my heart, David aka Poet owns my soul. I am beyond OBSESSED. This MC series gets more intense, more angsty, more sinful and more everything with every book.
David aka Poet lost everything including his baby girl in an explosion that was planned by The Disciples’ enemies. He is broken. Damaged beyond repair. He is nothing but a mass of mistakes, anger, rage, guilt and regrets. Vengeance has brought him back to the family he left nine years back. And the person he thinks to be his light and someone he doesn’t deserve still loves him. He is no good for Charli and first he has to atone.
Where do I even start. David, I love you. I may love you more than Charli. Gosh the author brought out so much raw pain and darkness in this tortured man. Someone save me from all the angst and heartbreak!! And I love his cocky asshole heart. Charli is a miracle. She is a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart. David kept on taking from her and breaking her but she never let go. That takes some serious fire and dedication. Well this is a messy love story. Too emotional and too good. I loved every part of David. The bad, the good, the worst. And I loved Charli’s heart. And THE HEAT BETWEEN THESE TWO!! Oh I need to get inside my freezer to cool down. This story delivers all the dirty, sexy, violent glory of MC Romance. That ending made me shed some big fat ugly tears!
If Lethal made me fall in love with Cassandra Robbins’ writing, Atone made me a life long fan. Like I will read whatever she writes kind of fan. MC Romance at its best!
David has been through so much tragedy. His only challenge n his world is Charlie. But even she can’t fight David’s inner demons. Will David be able to see the good in himself? Will he let her in?? Will David ever allow Charlie to love him the way he deserves??? First, he must seek his revenge. Second, he has internal demons to fight. Then maybe, just maybe he can be the man Charlie deserves. This book was amazing!! Read it so fast! My absolute favorite MC read right now! I can’t wait for Axels story now.
Oh my goodness. How many ways did this book screw with my heart. It was such a roller coaster. One minute I hated David, the next my heart was breaking for him, the next minute I was wanting to slap Charlie and then my heart would break for her. It was an emotional book to get through but great writing and a good story. Looking forward to Dolly and Edge’s story next.
My heart didn’t just break for David, it was shattered. He had some absolutely devastating demons he was fighting.
My feels were all over the place with David and Charlie. It was obvious the 2 were meant to be but sometimes, the demons we fight are all that we see. Heartache, devastation, revenge, love and hope filled the pages as these 2 went through hell to get the happily ever after they deserved.
I love these damaged guys in the MC and the women they fall in love with. After the ending of this one I’m extremely excited to see what will happen in Repent.
4*
Charlie is working with her parents in their cafe when she first meets David.
David can’t keep away from Charlie despite been bad for her.
He’s a part of the Disciples mc and warns her he’s bad.
An unexpected turn of events has him leaving but 9 years later he’s back for answers & revenge.
However he doesn’t expect to be called to rescue her from a situation she got herself into.
Loving the series
You know, I really love Blade. And Jason, too. They inhabit the same body, just as David and Poet do as well. But I really love him, right? I thought, even with the way Cassandra Robbins writes, nobody will beat Blade.
Then his cousin David comes back home.
Where can I even start with David? He’s brooding, harsh, reckless and the epitome of bad boy. But he’s also drowning in self loathing and grief, completely consumed by the ghosts of his past. Of his failures as a man and a father. As a Disciple. He split and left town, leaving a young raven haired girl with golden eyes behind, but taking her heart with him.
And Charlie? This girl has strength, has sass and so much compassion. She loved wholly, even when she doesn’t want to. She knows her path with David will be filled with heartache, but that doesn’t stop her from traveling down it anyway. She has loved that blonde hair boy since she was a teenager and it hasn’t stopped over time. She believes in them, but is it enough to convince David? Is it enough for the both of them?
David is the last piece of twine hanging over a candle; his implosion and subsequent self destruction are inevitable. He’s back for one single purpose—to seek revenge for those responsible for the death of his family and mete our justice as he sees fit. But he can’t help but come back to Charlie, never truly able to cut her out. He needs her light to keep him grounded, but what if he extinguishes it himself?
David and Charlie are two souls bound together, two souls that make each other feel alive. Their love story is messy, raw, and heartbreaking, but it’s also full of love and passion and forgiveness.
Aaaaaaaaand, how about that lead into Repent?! I’m ready for it!
David is set in self destruct mode. He’s an addict..to just about everything. A Loose Cannon. But Charlie well….While he can’t get enough of Charlie…..he also can’t stay away from her. Doomed! I loved that she called him the Oxygen Thief because he was all that and more.
I had many feelings while reading this book. Maybe emotional roller coaster is the best word to describe it. I was on the edge most times just waiting for the shoe to drop all while hoping it wouldn’t. Right now it’s Disappointment. That is what I now feel. I had Hope but it just got smashed! Rock Bottom….yeah we just hit it!
Wow I kept staring at the pages looking for the happy as we got closer and closer to the end. I really wanted Charlie to let go sometimes…forget him and move on. But then I see the devotion and dedication and I think…maybe it will work…..ARG!!! See what I mean?
This is the second book in the series. This one is as good or better than the first one. I love getting to know all these guys and their quirks. I easily became invested in these boys and their futures. This author does a wonderful job of making the characters i want to love/hate (at times). The story draws me in and I can hardly read fast enough to find out or slow to make this awesome story last.
I can not wait for the next in this series. Edge and Dolly!!
PS—-Great Cover! Fits perfectly!
This books has all the feels. The darkness and rawness that Atone has within the pages grips you and holds you hostage. I actually had to put my kindle down a couple of times and regroup because this book was that amazing and made me feel all the raw emotions that each of the characters were feeling.
I loved it! I was skeptical after Lethal but Cassandra nailed it with Atone. So much passion and drama. The tragedy and heartbreak that David endures is gut wrenching and you want him to get his happy ending so bad. I felt every thing while reading this novel. If you are a fan of MC novels please do yourself a favor and read Atone.
David… enough said! Lol. He’s experienced loss, for wrenching loss and he copes with it differently. Now back from some revenge after being gone and he stats something with Charlie… hello sex scenes!! Charlie I felt the pain man and right there with you, just stick it out. Loved David’s story.
You want a damaged hero? Here’s your kryptonite! Pair that with a beautifully brave heroine and you’ve got an epic story!
David/Poet is living a nightmare after a gut wrenching tragedy. He returns to the Disciples to avenge his daughter and comes face to face with his light. Charlie has loved him for all the years he’s been gone and now that he’s back, here’s her chance to make him her own…if she can keep David from self destructing.
Prepare yourself for scorching hot encounters, vengeance, and an ending you won’t forget.
