☆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.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this world GD has created. You don’t get anymore bad ass than Zeus Garro and Harleigh Rose is exactly like her daddy. Trouble born and raised, princess of the Fallen MC, a Garro (a name she’s immensely proud of). Female do not get the lead in most story and especially not a MC story but she’s a Garro and that means something in this world. The look in to a young King and HR show their loving relationship, having each other back. They had a crappy childhood due to their poor excuse of a mother. Danner was their saviour. Wow what can I say about Danner. He’s definitely up there with King and Zeus. There were a few heartbreaking moments, I cried through them. I loved HR I knew she was trouble but her heart in the right place. Looking forward to more from this amazing series.
It was great to visit with The Fallen MC again! This time it’s Harleigh Rose, Zeus Garro’s daughter and Danner, the cop who has been looking out for her since she was 6. But can he keep her safe when her boyfriend is a member of the Berserkers MC, the rival club. Rosie, as Danner calls her, is a biker princess, but she’s trying to get back to her former self, and protect her family, after things go awry with her boyfriend. These are great characters, and I loved Harleigh! And Danner. Looking forward to reading about more members of the Fallen.
****4.5 stars****
Absolutely gritty and raw. Good Gone Bad blurs all the lines; right or wrong, good or bad, pain or pleasure.
This book guts all your feelings and holds them hostage throughout. Love isn’t always pretty and flowery, family isn’t always love and affection. Danner and Harleigh Rose are caught in between, with each other, their environment, and community. Their loyalties, feelings and enormous burdens are fractured, torn apart and severely tested.
The heart of this book is the family unit that comes in many forms. Yes, Danner is sexy and an ice-cold god, Harleigh Rose is gutsy and all-fire, but it’s the warm, fuzzy togetherness of family in all sense of the word that won me over and over again.
I feel very conflicted with this book. The first two in the book were solid 5 star reads for me but this one is a 3.5-4. The first two I was so involved I didn’t want to sleep until I was finished. The lead characters so enticing I found myself wishing for a real life version of them for myself, but with this one I found myself lost and going back chapter to re read as I felt like I must of read parts wrong thinking a character was gone but suddenly reappearing but another flashback afterwards confirming what I’d originally read leaving me s little confused and losing track of what has happening because I couldn’t get past the feeling I was missing something. All in all it was a good book and leaves me wanting to read the next in the series.
5 stars just isnt enough!! I’ve been very impatiently waiting for this one and I wasn’t disappointed at all. It was hot and heartfelt….a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride!! Just a few pages in and I was hooked right up until the end.
I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Giana Darling!
Ahhhhh my man is some HOT STUFF! This book was EXACTLY my kind of book. Suspense, angst, drama, twists and turns, sexy as sin, and filled with beautiful, consistent metaphors! (Literally the way to my heart)
First of all, I am always in awe when reading a Darling book, of the author’s skill in using the English language. Her beautifully written passages, her imagery and metaphors, her poetic language, all of it just so cohesive makes me happy. And when words make me happy, it’s the best feeling ever.
I had been waiting for this book for so long and man was I NOT DISAPPOINTED! DADDY DANNER IS EFFING HOT! He will melt your panties with his charming ways, wicked sex appeal, and poetic words.
This story is definitely a roller coaster. So many highs and lows, so many twists and turns. Darling truly knows how to surprise me and I love how brave a daring she is with her plot. She’s taking risks and it’s paying off!
So overall, I LOVED THIS BOOK! DANNER IS MINE, AND I NEED BOOK 4!
I thought the over books were hot but Dirty Dom Danner is totally up there with Daddy Zeus! This book was sooo good I was hooked from the start. It gave me all the feels! The drama and action was so good! I even started taking my time because I didn’t want it to end! The chemistry between Harleigh Rose and Lion is freaking amazing. They both were absolutely bada— and I can’t wait until the next book!
*Received ARC for honest review
4.5 Danner Dom Stars!!
These men fucking ruin my life, swear to God and I let them do it because I love it too much.
I am not saying one thing about the story because it will turn spoilery too soon.
Harleigh Rose is a badass who was put on this Earth to obliterate men. But at the same time she has this vulnerability about her, this damn softness that was just beautiful to watch. Yes I adore her character very much but there were some things that she did that I don’t agree with because basically they seemed too rash and kinda bratty. But she definitely knew to learn from her mistakes and her story arch was such a joy to witness.
Danner is the perfect kind of man to explain the duality of good and bad inside a person. Neither of those qualities are black and white and sometimes it’s better to be just a little bit bad. This man is a sheer force to be reckoned with. His emotions, his morals, his goodness and the bad boy he so perfectly inherits made me totally adore him. I think he fell a bit short for me because I constantly kept comparing him to Zeus but come one ZEUS IS FUCKING ZEUS.
The story kept me on the edge throughout. I was constantly under anxiety because I honestly trust Giana to fully 100% hurt me. Like at the end of it I am okay with that and I mostly love it but the anticipation of impending doom KILLS MAN IT KILLS.
There was an itty bitty tiny cliffhanger that we’ll no doubt hear about soonish but man oh man it made me super pumped for the coming books. I can’t even freaking wait for more Fallen Men to wreck my life.
GOOD GONE BAD is the third book in the The Fallen Men MC Series by Giana Darling. The first two books are LESSONS IN CORRUPTION #1 (King/Cressida’s story) & WELCOME TO THE DARKSIDE #2 (MC president Zeus Garro/Lou Lou ‘Louise’ Lafayette’s story) Each of the three books are Forbidden MC Romance Stories, all so different, but all so good! All three books could be read as standalone, but I highly recommend reading them all.
GOOD GONE BAD is a story of the opposites attract. Officer Lionel Danner is the good cop and his love attraction is one bad girl named Harleigh Rose Garro. She also is an MC princess and Biker Babe, whose ‘Daddy’ is the President of The Fallen MC Club. His name is Zeus Garro, and no fan of the cops. She wasn’t the good girl to his good guy. If Lionel wanted her, he would have to come over to to the dark side where love was blind. She also thought that there was no way, in heaven or hell that she deserved to have a hero like Lionel Danner. What she didn’t know about him was that he was no saint! He had a very ‘dominant’ side with possessive tenancies. How the saying goes, “When he was good, he was very, very good, but when he was bad, he was horrid!”
Whoever he was, anyway he was, there had never been a chance of “Rosie” not loving Officer Lionel Danner. She fell in love with him when she was just a nine year old girl, when his nineteen year old body shielded her from bullets the day of the massacre at First Light Church. He also gave her his number to call that same day, if she ever was in trouble. Since trouble was her middle name, she would call that number dozens of times over the years.
Danner and Harleigh Rose wanted to be together more than anything, but didn’t feel they deserved each other, or a happily ever after. But he would fight to the end for his own rose with thorns.
“He was just so simply and profoundly good. I think that’s why I always liked him.
And it might have been why I called him. To punish myself by facing a man who wouldn’t disappear my sins but rectify them.”
I think my favorite part was the comparison of Rosie to a storm. You can’t help but picture her standing in the eye of it. I cried when Zeus left, but harder when Lion found her there.
This book was amazing! The ending was ahhhhhhh!!! I thought we were gonna get one dog gone minute of happy! Seriously this one got me. I am exhausted from 2 days of reading. Don’t miss this one not for anything!
Well that was another beautiful and amazing story by Giana Darling. Also, what is HOT?! I almost cannot handle Dom Danner! And I did not expect I would like Harleigh Rose that much. She was a riot in the previous books, but I understand her much better now. And I admired how strong she is. Lion and Rosie could not be any more perfect for each other. I did not expect I would cry so much in this book. I felt so many emotions and I loved it! I loved loved the Garro family. They have this beautiful bond that you cannot help you wish to have. This story was beautifully done. It never felt this good to be so bad! I cannot wait for more!! Bravo
Where to even begin with this one? This read captured my soul and has not nor do I see it letting it go. This ride was so intense with some fabulous sass from Harleigh Rose. She was such a strong character with so many quirks and I absolutely loved her bad (filter because amazon) attitude. And Lion Danner is the perfect alpha man of my dreams. The two together are an explosive power couple who completely balance each other out from different sides.
The twists, turns and plot were gripping and had me laughing out loud, crying in both happy tears and because my heart had literally been ripped out and apart and like the Japanese Kintsugi — stronger. I am not sure how I am going to wait for the next one and recover from this but the strong will endure.
they may be perceived by others. MC gangs can be brutal…but they can also serve a purpose and he can see that. It doesn’t help that Harleigh Rose has been in his eyesight, life and heart since she was a child and for that reason he can’t keep her but he also can’t stay away. These two will fight for not only their lives but for each other and a future that probably should never happen. Romeo and Juliet for OUR times!
Hot Hot Hot Danner mouth is yummy . So parts you want to yell at Giana like how could you do that. lol
When Harleigh Rose finds herself in trouble she goes to the one man who she hasnt seen in 3 yrs. Will he be their to help her again..
Danner Cop stuck between his job and a girl who owns his heart. A Rose that he watched bloom and Wither but still has her thorns. Can he save her to bloom again or welt away.
The Dirty Dom Cop and The Wild child Biker babe. what a pair but together they are made for each other. I love how hes watched after her for years even when he thought it was wrong he couldnt let go.
Can a Lion save a Rose
“Its the devil you know vs the devil you dont”
“You could tempt a saint into sinning.”
“Feel safe at night, sleep with a cop”
This is the third book in this amazing series, and each one just seems to get better and better. Harleigh is an MC Princess, who relies on Officer Lionel Danner to get her out of trouble. These two have had a long and complex relationship since childhood. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written story with complex characters and plot, which is dark, heartbreaking, intense, passionate, and sexy, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. This talented author has done a brilliant job in penning this story, and I for one cannot wait to read more of her work, and highly recommend for all readers!
Everyone, meet DD Danner!
Now, you wanna know what DD stands for?! Well, I could tell you that it means Dirty Dom but that wouldn’t be sufficient enough. If you really want to know what’s behind DDD you have to read the book because only this very talented author can give you a man like him!
I’m actually speechless because what’s there to say?! The story was captivating, thrilling, all-consuming and had me by the balls (well, if I had some =P). My attempt of a review couldn’t give this book enough justice but let me tell you that the author really outdid herself! This was the best book in this series yet and I can’t wait for more.
Harleigh Rose was conflicting and a very strong and rebellious character. You gotta admire how tough and cool she was even in the worst scenarios. I loved this ballsy girl. But under this hard exterior was a girl craving for love and affection. Combined with her upbringing this made for a toxic mix which was why she’d found herself in an abusive relationship.
When it got out of hand and her boyfriend was killed by her own hands, she didn’t call her dad or brothers for help. No, she called Danner, her Lion, someone who always made her feel safe and loved despite being out of reach. But which side was she going to choose when she was suddenly stuck between a rock and a hard place?!
The bond between Lionel and Harleigh went way back when she was still a little girl but only now transformed into something so intensely strong and hauntingly beautiful that it physically hurt when they were apart from one another. They had their own kind of romance those two, H.R. and Danner, but I loved it. It was hot and dirty and such a turn on.
I loved Zeus and he will forever be my daddy. But Lion?! Damn! He sure set the bar high for all the other men! Dirty Dominant Lion Danner was off the charts hot! I loved his controlling, demanding and dominating side.
This story started with a murder and it couldn’t have been any better! The lines between good and bad got blurred and the meaning of family got reinvent. Blood was flowing, bonds were breaking or newly forming, death was always close by and love fighting against it.
Talk about being tense during a read. I yelled at my kindle and almost threw it against the wall, and there was even such a shocking moment once that my reader fell out of my hands. It’s official now, this book is one of my all-time favorites and forever embedded in my heart.
My love for the men and the women in this series is huge and just grows with each new book.
The story I’ve been waiting on Danner and Harleigh Rose is here. All the teasers I’ve read could never have prepared me for these two characters. Complex doesn’t begin to describe them or the soul deep connection they have.
I feel like i should apologise to HR as I totally misjudged her. The spoiled princess I imagined never appeared, she is loyal selfless loving sexy a little minx and some may say stupid but I say brave. Some readers will claim Danner but I claim Harleigh she’s my girl. Lion aka Danner is the man i hoped he’d be, he’s tough opinionated with a dangerous side and a dirty mouth which I loved.
The story as a whole has a fast pace to it even though we dip into the past it never detracts from where the author wants to take us. We of course see King and Zeus but this is very much Rosie and Lion’s book and I loved it.
When good goes bad it is always complicated and such is the lifelong relationship of Lion and his Rebel Rose. This is a story of loyalty, family, friends and a fierce love. Lionel Danner is just playing his guitar in an old music shop when he meets a little girl of 6. I am sure he had no idea just how much this meeting would ultimately change his life.
Harleigh Rose is an MC Princess, daughter to Zeus Garro the President of The Fallen MC. She is one badass, full of sass, multifaceted lady, not to be taken for granted. Lionel Danner comes from a long line of cops who have made it their mission to bring down as many MCs as possible. Fate can be wicked as life progresses for H.R. and Lionel, and the dynamics of their relationship changes. When a catastrophic event not only brings these two back together, but also entwines them in a dangerous scheme ….will there be any winners?
I cannot tell you the emotional rollercoaster ride Good Gone Bad took me on. H.R. with her unwavering loyalty to her family and the dangerous and drastic situations she puts herself into, in order to keep them safe, was almost the end of my sanity. Lion with his unending drive to bring down the morally corrupt Berserkers had me on the edge of my seat. When these two start to work together for a single purpose and their relationship blossoms from childhood protector to protective lover, it was a thing of magic. One of my favorite quotes comes to mind and it is a perfect depiction of Rosie and her Lion: “Love is friendship that has caught fire.”
Then comes the tipping point and life as they know it will never be the same. Loyalty is lost, trust is tested and devastating decisions are made.
I highly recommend this book as well as all the writing of this wonderful author. She has a way of bringing the written word to life where you feel the vibration of a motorcycle sliding up your body as you cling tight to your man and throw your head back and laugh.
HOLY F****** SHIT! This book seriously made me feel every emotion possible. I was anxious mad amounts the first 20% of the book and actually had to put it down before I could continue. And when I picked It back up, I decided to start from the beginning again so I could be sucked into it properly, and oh man I was! Giana’s writing grabs you from the start. It is emotion provoking and one of the best written stories I have read this year. Her talent to bring the situation to life is incredible. Lion Danner is seriously one of my FAVORITE BOOK BOYFRIENDS EVER and I will fight you for him. He is loyal and strong and oh so dirty. I loved every minute of him. Harleigh Rose was such a contradiction to me at first. There were times I kinda wanted to punch her a bit, I won’t lie, but when it always came down to it she just did what was right. My heart broke for them both at times. This was an intense story and I really think you need to make sure you can handle everything it will bring to you when you read it. There were parts I had a hard time with and a part of me wants to gush more and get into details but honestly that would be spoilers. But I HIGHLY suggest you read this story (as well as the rest of The Fallen Men).
Thorny bushes? Spitful of fire? Yes.. Good Gone Bad was crazy good and I dont want it to end..The story of Harleigh Rose.. the Princess of the Fallen.. and Lionel Danner the man who had saved her.. A man with complicated family and a darker side of him.
I love the dynamic from the book.. full with suspense and thrill. Giana had captured the story with a strong female character H.R. Despite of the situation, she was a fighter with sassy attitude and loving heart.
GGB was very intense.. The backstory was chilling, broken hearted.. It was raw, unapologetic and sadness.. I cant get enough the feeling of being loved throughout the story. This wasnt an easy story to digest but the delivery was perfect and with real emotions. I want more for sure
