I had my Lou, my family, and a group’a men more loyal than any other. Life was good. No, better than that. Life was a fuckin’ dream. Didn’t know somethin’ was missin’ until we found it crouched in the forest like tossed rubbish and claimed it for our own. A Fallen Men Christmas Story. These events take place between Welcome to the Dark Side and Good Gone Bad.
Fallen Son: A Fallen Men Christmas Story (The Fallen Men)
By gianadarling
FALLEN SON: A short Novella that takes place in the FALLEN MEN Series. The story takes place between WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE (Zeus & Lou’s story) and the GOOD GONE BAD (Harleigh Rose & Danner’s story.) I read both of those books & enjoyed reading FALLEN SON, now too. Whenever I get to read more about the Garro clan, it makes me happy. Plus we are going to add three more to the clan. The more the merrier!
So we all know how Lou and Zeus story ended. Now it is christmas time and they want to get to the cabin with the rest of the family. Lou hasn’t told anyone about their little secret. So while they are getting things ready to celebrate they come across another surprise. They find a little boy all by himself. He doesn’t say much and got some secrets he wants to keep to himself. He is also afraid that Lou and Zeus are like the others. However, he sees a family bond that is so tight that he wants a part of it. Will he get that chance. Well Lou decided that she saw him first and is not letting him out of her sight. So I cannot wait to read his story.
Giana Darling – Fallen Son (The Fallen Men 2.5)
A beautiful novella set during Christmas. The Fallen have a new addition to their family. I was so excited to revisit Zeus and Lou, King and Cress, Harleigh Rose, Nova and Lila. I cried. Such a wholesome read. Beautifully written. I cant wait to see where Giana Darling next takes The Fallen series.
“Tell myself every day it’s just not possible for one person to love another as much as I love you, and then there you go, every fucking day, proving me wrong, because I just fall deeper.”

A Powerful, Awww Inducing Punch in a Tiny Package…
Well this book was unexpected, because here I thought the “surprise” was going to be a puppy lol…
After the hard core emotional rollercoasters contained in the first two books of Giana Darling’s, The Fallen Men, series this one was a lovely little interlude that completely caught me off guard! Officially book 2.5 of the series, “Fallen Son” takes place during the Christmas between the epilogue of Zeus and Lou’s story and that of Harleigh Rose and Danner’s tale. It is a sweet and sassy little novella, containing all of the sharp witted, banter filled dialog, and introspective prose I have come to know and love from Darling. However, this one exerts an unexpectedly powerful punch and paves the way for what I hope are countless books to come!
I am not going to write the typical run down I usually provide in my Sadt Cookie book reviews as this book is a brief three chapter literary side trip, and so jam packed I would give too many things away. But just know this, “Fallen Son” is a heart jerker. Also, this little gem contains a plot pivot so surprising you will scramble to read the next available books in the series and then beg for more.
The Fallen MC… What an absolutely wonderful way to begin 2021!
I loved this small peek into Zeus and Lou’s life it was incredibly sweet and so heartwarming to catch up with them and all their family in this fabulous novella.
It reminded me of everything I adore about them and what an intense connection and bond they both share.
We also get to meet Ares a small boy with a mysterious past that they come upon at there rebuilt cabin.
I’m definitely intrigued to learn more about him and hope to see him feature in his own story eventually.
This novella was incredibly uplifting a real sweet treat and was the literal icing on the cake for me.
I just adore this series a whole lot and I’m looking forward to starting book three and learning more about Harleigh Rose.

This series keeps getting better and better.
I’m in love with it. I’m in love with the characters. And no matter if it’s a whole big book or if it’s a short story, this author always delivers the good stuff.
I never tire to read the love and bond between the characters, their unavering loyalty, their protectiveness and the fierceness with which they care for their loved ones.
Fallen Men was a great short Christmas story. To remind us of the Garros. They maybe bikers with tough guy personas. But Zeus once again shows an unexpected house guess what family means and stands for.

I have recently finished by Giana Darling and oh my goodness MY HEART. After I finished , I just didn’t know what to do with my life. Zeus and Lou’s story has completely made me fell in love with this world, and I was not ready to move on. So not ready.
And then I found this short novella. It was so perfect, the Fallen MC Christmas is definitely all we need. This family just proved again that there are no words that could describe how wonderful they really are. It was the sweetest, most adorable novella I have ever read. Can we please get more like this?
This story introduces us to a very new character and my heart totally broke for him. His horrible past led him to this wonderful family, and I am so happy for him and for the Fallen MC family too. I hope we will get his story one day too, I would love to read it.
For me, reading Giana Darling’s books is definitely one of the highlights of 2020. I am in awe.
This is a supper short and super sweet novella. I loved this so much. We get to see more of Zeus and Lou being married and expecting. We get to meet a new character that I can’t wait to get to know more about. This was an amazing short story. I loved getting more of Zeus and Lou and the whole family. his story made me happy and so emotional. It was the best! I am so excited to continue on with this series. You need to read this if you are loving this series!!!! It was soo good.
Whenever people think of MC clubs they usually of violence and illegal activities. This book showcases a side that would hardly be seen in public. Love, togetherness, calm, family, quiet strength etc.
A short and sweet story showcasing the Christmas spirit at it’s best. Also an introduction to Ares who we meet again in After the Fall. Although young his character seems very strong, knowledgeable what is he hiding? Hope there is a full book about him soon.
I loved this short story from Giana Darling! Fallen Son was such a sweet glimpse into the life of our favorite Fallen family. We get to see all of the Garro family being the incredibly loyal, loving, and nurturing people that they are. This is a must read if you’ve already read Lessons In Corruption and Welcome to the Dark Side!
I’m not much of a Christmas story kind of girl but this book changed my mind. Daddy Zeus is my favorite so it was great to have a little more of him.
It was great catching up with the Fallen family again! I was so happy to hear the good news, see a bunch of the brothers and meet the newest member of the family. Ms. Darling still kept up the heat even with a short story and an added Christmas present bonus.
Short novella filled with so much love. My heart is gushing over here. I loved reading about all of the Fallen again and to get a peek into the future. Giana Darling will forever be my favorite author because it doesn’t matter how small or how big her books are, she delivers on all the feels.
God I love Daddy Zeus.
“I was Zeus, God of thunder and slayer of Loulou Garro’s demons. Each and every fuc***’ one of ’em.”
He is one of my favorite hero’s to date and I loved getting to read a little more of his and Lou’s story.
“Think my girl deserves a treat for carryin’ my babies so good.”
“Mmm, I think so too,”
God they are so hot. I don’t want their story to ever end I just want to keep reading more and more.
Giana is unstoppable.
Every emotion that she can muster up to use in her arsenal is displayed perfectly for her readers. This short story was the icing on the cake with our favourite MC especially with our sexy Zeus and his wife Lou.
I seriously don’t know how she can just kill our hearts with the introduction of Ares … gahhhhhhh I so cannot wait for this
What a wonderful treat!! What could be better than more Zeus Garro, a cute Christmas short or anything written by the talented Giana Darling? This little short has all the feels we’ve come to expect from Ms. Darling. Always enjoy reading anything about her “Fallen Men”!!!! Loved it!! <3
What a great short little story to catch up with our favorite family the Garro’s. I will never ever get tired of this family. They are the best characters and I think I cried every time Lou did. I love Giana Darling and I cannot wait to read what she has in store for us next.love the

Giana Darling’s Fallen Men series is unknown to me. However, I didn’t love this Christmas-themed novella less! Fervent and heartfelt, the emotions in this narrative contains an undeniable amount of profound emotions that made this so damn delightfully enjoyable.
For such a short story. It had a lot of content. It left me itching for more. More of the whole gang. More of the chemistry. This author has a way of pulling you into a story where you are automatically intrigued. This book being no exception. She also has a way of leaving you hanging wanting more. I cannot wait for the next installment.
