☆A Top 100 Amazon Bestseller☆ They say one action doesn’t define you. I killed a man. Stabbed him in the neck and licked the blood off my lips after I did it. Still, one action doesn’t define you. I could have called anyone. My father, the Prez of The Fallen MC, our family lawyer, my best friend, Lila, or my brother, King.I didn’t. Instead, I called Lionel Danner, the police officer renowned for … the police officer renowned for taking down the Nightstalkers MC. The man who had been my father’s arch nemesis for decades. The man who hated everything I stood for. A man who had disappeared from my life without explanation three years ago.
I called him.
And maybe one action doesn’t define you, but killing a bad man and calling in the good changed my life and it sure as hell changed his.
The third book in the Fallen Men series. A standalone featuring Harleigh Rose and Officer Lionel Danner.

If I could give this book more than 5 stars i would. This book did not disappoint! I’m so depressed that the book is finished. I LOVED the good boy/bad girl storyline. This book has so much going on I couldn’t put the book down and of course I was cheering for the couple the whole way. But let’s not forget every hot, sensual sexy sex scenes, they were smoking H.O.T!! This author sure knows how to write great books!! The hard part is to wait for her next book.
Lionel Danner and Harleigh Rose Garro have a history that dates to way back when Harleigh and her older brother King were young kids. Lionel looked after them when Zeus was in jail (the reason and how long he was there is detailed in the previous book) and he protected them, too. But as the years went on, it became increasingly obvious that Lionel would follow in the footsteps of his father into law enforcement and Harleigh and King would go in the direction of The Fallen MC with Zeus. So even though Lionel and Harleigh had an undeniable connection, their futures weren’t wired to be together because of so many obstacles between them. But what if it could? In the meantime, their feelings for each other were always there. Lionel is probably my favorite hero out of this entire series so far. He has a heart of gold and is very controlled and stoic on the outside, he doesn’t charge into situations without thinking ahead. Harleigh is the opposite. She is more spontaneous and reckless with a fierce spirit. Despite being wild and acting before she thinks, Harleigh also has a deep heart reserved for the ones she loves. This story was packed with surprises and twists. I didn’t know what was going to happen and even if I had an idea, the plot still swayed in a direction that I wasn’t planning on, which I enjoyed because it kept me on the edge of my seat. The chemistry between Harleigh and Lionel was off the charts hot. Although I liked King and Zeus, I never actually envied Cressida or Loulou, but I did think Harleigh hit the lottery on her guy. There’s a duality theme explored in this story and it highlighted a good contrast between opposing natures between people and within oneself. What I could not overlook because it was in abundance were the typos and editing errors, which often detracted my attention from the book and characters because I was trying to decipher what the author really meant even if it was a misplaced word or misspelling. This was unfortunate because the writing style itself sets a high bar. Aside from that, I enjoyed the character development in Lionel and Harleigh, particularly Harleigh, because I wasn’t a big fan of hers at first. I’m curious to see what’s in store for The Fallen MC next.
YA’LL when I tell you that you NEED this book, it’s not a suggestion. Giana Darling gave me what I didn’t know I wanted. This book had absolutely everything I could ever want in a book. It was hot, it was sexy, it was bad (in all the right ways), it had angst and then more angst on top of that. It had passion and love and heartbreak and violence and literally everything that can make a good book a phenomenal book. I cannot get enough of these characters and this world. I am sucked in and I never want to leave. Darling is on a fast train to success and I don’t see her stopping anytime soon. I see someone soon snatching her up because she is just that amazing.
What happens when two individuals from very different worlds come together? An intense connection and some serious raw sexual chemistry is what happens!!
This is the third book in the Fallen Men series and follows Harley-Rose Garro and Officer Lionel Danner through their complicated and at time impossible relationship.
These two aren’t meant to be together. They live two completely different lives that are, for the most part, at odds, but the connection they have with each other is undeniable.
Throughout this book we see the relationship between these two characters grow. We see them struggle, but the strong bond they have keeps them pulled together, and it is absolutely beautiful. In the end, we all see that they are perfect for each other.
I cannot forget to mention the kink in this book. Oh my, Officer Danner!
I love this Fallen Men series more and more with each book published!
Congratulations Giana! HR and Lions story was absolutely amazing.
This book y’all. Just when I didn’t think this series could suck me in any more, Ms. Darling just had to give me Harleigh Rose’s story and this book had me glued to my e-reader even more than I normally am (and that is a LOT my friends). Goodness knows, growing up the princess of a MC definitely isn’t a typical childhood, and bless H.R. and her brother King, their childhood sucked just a bit more because of their mother.
One thing that makes this story work is that there is a long history between H.R. and Danner (or Lion). The story is told primarily in present time, although we do get flashbacks over the years to see how the interactions between a young H.R. and Danner evolve. This is a highly charged, action-packed story, complete with angst and drama, deception, and at least 3 characters you would love to bitch slap (at least I got that feeling). There’s also plenty of emotions felt throughout the story, and I felt my heart crack at least twice.
“Tell me a lie,” I told him, to remind him of the duality of our game. “I hate you,” he replied like he’d been waiting for me to ask. “I hate you with my whole body and all of my soul.”
She was Fallen MC princes. He was a cop and someone who disappeared from her life three years ago.
After three years they meet again. But how they meet…damn. She killed someone and now she needs his help.
Years of emotional and physical abuse Harleigh Rose did the only thing she could think about. She killed the man who hurt in so many ways.
Lionel Danner is a lot of things but he’s not a complete saint. He had done a lot of good things in his life. Loving the daughter of the MC president wasn’t an easy thing to do.
Harleigh Rose was everything. And with time she was everything he could see.
In all these years Lion was the only person who gotten er out of trouble.
They had a love-hate relationship and we all know how thin is the line between.
After I finished the second from the series I couldn’t wait for Harleigh and Lion’s story. I feel in love with both of them and I recommended it for sure.
Good Gone Bad is the 3rd book in the Lessons of Corruption series, a standalone that I could not wait to read, MC princess and the Cop.
Harleigh Rose was a fighter, she was a biker babe through and through; being the daughter of the Fallen’s President gave her the high privileges and also a target on her back. Staying in a relationship for way to many years she had enough of being the victim she had become, defending herself lead to her to the VP of a very violent Club and leading her straight back to the one man who she had been in love with forever. Lionel was pulled in all different directions but one that kept him coming home with Harleigh Rose, putting everything at risk he laid down the law and claimed what was his from the very beginning.
Harleigh Rose is an independent sassy woman who takes everything in her stride, defending herself and her family is what she does best. Lionel is a dominant alpha, he knows exactly what he wants and will destroy anything and anyone that gets in his way.
Harleigh Rose and Lionel have a magnetic pull that brings them back together every time, their encounters over the years have built up the moment they come together; they explode like fireworks and share a desire for dominance.
I was very excited to read this book, having read the first 2 in the series I dived straight in and I was slightly shocked. I am not sure what I had expected but this was definitely not it. I personally enjoyed the book but there was so much going on at times I was left wondering who’s POV I was reading and what year I was in, in the end it all smoothed about and I really enjoyed the epilogue giving us a look into their futures as a whole Fallen family.

i didn’t think Giana Darling could steam up the pages between this hot ‘on the right side of the law’ cop Danner and Harleigh ‘the thorn bad girl’ Rose but Holy Hell she did it!!!! This was a fantastic read with all the feels and the witty banter. This book will have you turning pages so fast but hating it when you get to the last page! You can read this as a stand-alone but I would highly suggest reading books 1 and 2 to get the full effect, besides you will fall in love with HR’s brother and Dad. What are you waiting for, grab these alpha men and their bad-ass women right now!!
4.5 stars for – Good Gone Bad – book three in the Fallen series by Gianna Darling. This one was everything we could’ve wanted and more about our favorite family of bikers and while it could be read as a stand-alone I honestly feel this series would be much more enjoyable if you get to know the men of the Fallen MC as Ms. Darling introduces them to us.
Harleigh Rose Garro is the beloved biker princess of the Fallen MC. For the last three years she has lived away from her family in Vancouver while earning her nursing degree. Now weeks away from graduating she is forced to call on the last person she wants to ask for help to assist her with a situation that she never should’ve let get so out of hand to begin with. Scared and broken H.R. is done being a victim and is determined to become the person she used to be.
Lionel Danner has always loved and cared for Rosie in some way, shape or form since she was six years old. It has been three long years since he has spoken to her and she is an adult in every way with even bigger problems but he would never even think of abandoning her now. Shocked by what happened and worried about H.R. he does the only thing he can do for now until she decides to take things into her own hands and changes all the rules. He really hopes she knows what she got herself into because he refuses to hold anything back now.
Danner was a sexy, dirty dominant man that twists you up in knots and makes you say his name. Harleigh Rose is a seriously strong and sexy heroine that knows what she wants and is not at all afraid or ashamed to ask for it. Family, love and loyalty above all else remains the mantra of the Fallen MC and this book certainly did not disappoint!
This is one of those books that if you had the opportunity you would absolutely want to sit down and read it in one sitting, but it’s worth taking your time and just savoring the storyline with these characters. Really I think that’s every one of Giana Darling’s books that I’ve read, don’t hold out reading her books like I did. What was I thinking? Just jump in y’all!!!!
Harleigh Rose has known Lionel since she was 6 and she’s now graduating college, so she’s grown up being around and in love with the man on the other side of the train tracks in a sense. HRs dad is in an MC and Lionel’s father is a police officer whose sole mission in life is to take down The Fallen MC. To any outsider they could never work, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
This is such a heart wrenching story with the obstacles that these two have to go through to hopefully make it to the end. Especially add in that neither of them thinks they’re worthy of the other even though they’re some of the best people, always putting everyone ahead of them and their own happiness. I just can’t describe how much I love the two of them. I knew going in I’d like HR but Lion surpassed what I expected on all levels! Plus he is beyond sexy and the two of them together are intense, I loved their push and pull that makes such explosive scenes together.
I love this series so hard, but I was not even prepared for Lion! He is so dirty and hot and fierce and just…. gahhhhh!! This book had me ON EDGE! It’s so intense. Harleigh Rose gets herself into quite the predicaments and my adrenaline just skyrockets. I have a major girl crush on her. She is such a strong, kick-ass heroine. Her loyalty is unmatched. Rosie and Lion together are just EVERYTHING.
I loooved this book. I highly recommend this entire series, but Good Gone Bad can definitely be read as a standalone.
What amazing roller coaster ride of emotions! This author just has a way of weaving a great story that seems to pull you in and make you part of their world. It was a serious page turner, I just could not put it down. If there were ever a story of opposites attract, this is it!
This is the 3rd book in the Fallen Men series by Giana Darling, and in it we get to finally see the complicated relationship between Lionel Danner and Harleigh Rose. Harleigh is the sassy, stubborn, wild, and unapologetic MC princess of the Fallen, daughter of Zeus, the Prez. Danner is the good guy, hero police officer in the city Zeus rules. We find out in the very beginning of the book that HR is in trouble, and instead of calling her father who could easily clean up her mess, she calls Danner. He immediately shows up to help as he always does, unbeknownst to either the path that these choices have set them on.
I loved that we get the complete story of Lionel and HR. There are flashbacks to HR’s childhood, and we get to see the first time she met Lionel. How they became bonded for life by events neither one had control over. You get to see exactly how much of a presence Danner had in both HR and King’s life during their childhood and why. It was heartbreaking to witness, their childhood, but it also helps you to understand why HR is the way she is. Why she is so guarded and abrasive. You get to see their love develop from an innocent friendship into something more. I think I loved the backstory just as much as the whole book.
This story had everything I needed in a book. Plenty of sexy times, for sure, but there are also very deep and emotional parts that will stick with you long after you finish the book. I was all over the place with my emotions, and that is how I know it was a great book!
So the Lion fell in love with the Lamb…..
But she grew up to be a LionHeart !
A violent love story of a warrior princess and a man born to protect her. Even if it meant walking away from her, standing by her side while she slayed demons and holding her in his arms from collapsing after a long worn battle. Harleigh rose has seen it all, growing up in shadow of Zeus Garro MC club, she’s a blue blood Biker Princess.Born and raised a biker bitch, formed from biker sperm and in a bitch’s womb. Her love up and left her when she was sixteen. But Lionel Danner is back and how!!
Blood didn’t freak me out. Violence didn’t deter me. One was simply biology and the other was basic MC theology.
All around the Vancouver BC is the reign of MC biker gangs. The Fallen and the Berserkers have been traditional rivals. The cops let them fight it out and generally go in last to clean up the leftover mess. But of late, they’ve been more proactive by infiltrating moles everywhere. But moles are there in police force too.
A double crossing game of who’s the mole where, who’s ratting out whom and who’s left standing at last marks the entire story with gun violence, blood and sacrifice.
It was interesting to see old rivals come to loggerheads, some new one thrown in to spice up the pot.
Biker Bitches are a force to be reckoned with and we have a heavy population of them. Allen, Harrah, loulou, HR and Cressida. They are tough, tenacious, hard a s nails women, don’t ever forget !!
Sleeping with an outlaw was like sleeping with a wild animal. Only the very stupid or very courageous braved the risk that that animal would turn, tear out your eyes and eat out your throat before you could blink.
They hadn’t tamed the mustangs they’d found , they’d just learned to ride ’em well, over the uneven terrain of their biker lives and through the wilds of their often-violent realities.
And she should’ve known better that Bikers love hard but kill harder. Just one and you’re done !!
I was involved in a war, but on the wrong side of the battlefield, a turncoat of the highest order.It was a condemnation. An excommunication from the only religion I’d ever practiced.
Edge of the seat thrilling and Bike paced with endless chases, hot passionate sex and non stop action.
Pick up this book for continuous adrenaline rush till you orgasm!!!
4.5 stars for Gentleman cop and a dirty Dom
I love Harleigh Rose. She is such a badass character and this book just defines that more than I already knew.
She’s not afraid to be one hundred percent herself, she’s also not afraid to do whatever it takes to save her family, even if that means putting some distance there.
Officer Donner and her have a huge history and i absolutely f*cking loved every second of it. He was such a surprising character, I wasn’t ready for what he becomes.
It’s surprising, well-written, and tragically romantic.
A really great read from an amazing author. Took a bit to get into for me in this book but once it did, it took OFF! Can’t wait for more in book 4!!!
My heart be still after reading this unbelievable story. Where do I even begin?? The third book in the series, is for me, by far the best. I loved the story of Harleigh Rose and Lionel, two people who knew each other their whole lives, but with such different backgrounds, could never be together. H.R.’s family is The Fallen and Lionel is a cop. The two should never be together. But one night, when something happens to Harleigh, she calls the one person she shouldn’t and they are thrust together in unreal circumstances. These two characters have such explosive chemistry. You can’t help but want them to be together. This story will keep you mesmerized from the very first word and this author has such a way of drawing you into the story and never wanting it to end. Do yourself a favor, read this series. It will be one of the best decisions of your life!
4 1/2 stars…First book I’ve read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The storyline kept me captivated and the characters had depth. Well written and I would of given five stars except for errors. It’s a bit of a bug bear with me so I find it hard to overlook shed…she’d, passed…past, willing…willingly.
“You think I don’t know that under all that thorny sass you got a heart as tender as a budded rose, you can think again,”
Harleigh Rose also known as H.R, Rose, Rosie or Rebel is the daughter of the President of The Fallen MC, Zeus. When her father is sentenced to ten years jail Harleigh and her brother King are left in the care of a junkie mother. With a love of music and a weekly visit to Mega Music store she meets Lionel Danner. He’s almost ten years older than her but they hit it off instantly. He takes her and King under his wing but he’s the son of the Police Chief. He follows in his fathers footsteps in the police force. When Harleigh needs help she phones Danner and their two worlds collide. She is the old lady of a rival club member from Berserkers MC. She stands to lose everything her family, her man and her honour. Can she pull everything together and not lose herself?
This is about a man a strong man,strong woman and a Daddy over-protective, she gives up her family to protect them, she’s a good woman to let another woman Touch your man , to protect your family, great book you need to read it
Giana Darling has done it again!! Good Gone Bad was an amazing read! Dirty Danner and his thorny Rose stole my heart. There’s steam, angst, heartache, laughter, and an HEA that melts your heart. You do not want to miss out on this!! This is the third book in The Fallen Men series so I highly recommend reading the first two books before diving in this one. However, it can be read as a standalone.
What an epic book by book Giana Darling, it was absolutly fantastic. I was alll over the place with emotions. My heart was in my mouth, I had to take mini tea breaks to get my heart to beat again with all those twists and turns., you never see them coming and then boom. It’s pure brilliance. This is Giana’s best work to date and it’s certainly one to beat for 2018. You have got to read this book, you will not be disappointed. The entire fallen series is AMAZING. Enjoy the ride with our hot bikers.
