☆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.

Wow. Just wow.
What a heartfelt, sexy, and just all around “feel-all-the-feels” story.
This is Harleigh Rose Garro (H.R) & Officer Lionel Danner’s story. It’s as swoons as it is poignant. Those two were destined to each other, regardless of the 10-year age gap.
Also, it was hard not to think of their epic story as a Greek tragedy of sorts; with a much different ending. I could totally see the mythology woven into their story.
And what an ending THAT was. I won’t spoil it further but this story will have you on the tip of your toes, turned on and riding a roller coaster ‘til the end.
Giana has once again given us a beautiful, forbidden, age gap romance that is full of suspense, heart and passion. Lionel Danner, “Lion,” and his Rosie are complex, flawed characters that are sure to capture your heart and attention
Danner and his constant struggle to “do the right thing” is present during this entire journey. Rosie is his number one priority, yet his need to protect the city he loves is just as strong. Danner is good by nature but isn’t afraid to cross that line and act criminally to keep them both safe. His mix of good and bad is an aphrodisiac. Danner loves with a passion and fierceness that is both admirable and downright sexy. There are many layers to this complicated man and the slow unraveling of his persona is a ride worth taking.
Harleigh Rose is like no other character I’ve ever met. This young, stubborn, fierce, protective woman is on a level all her own. She is not ashamed of how she was raised. She is proud of her family and wears the MC Princess title like a badge of honor. H.R. will do anything, and I mean anything, for the family she loves with a ferociousness of a thousand lions. That loyalty extends to Danner, a man she has loved since she could understand the meaning of the word.
The chemistry between these two is explosive. There is a sweet and tender side to their relationship, yet dark and dominant in a way they both crave and need. I loved Lion and Rosie together and despite their glaring differences, there were written in the stars. They are two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together and their hearts were always meant to beat as one. Their story was honest and genuine, raw and real. There wasn’t fluff and easy times between these two, far from it. But the complex nature of Lion and Rosie’s relationship is what dreams are made of.
Holy gambit of emotions!!! I was completely blown away by the dominating and incredibly sexy officer turned biker Dirty “Lionel” Danner! Between the sexy as hell chemistry between “Lion” and Harleigh Rose and the intense scenes of violence. I found myself glued to this fascinating book well into the night. Giana Darling really delivers a detailed and well developed cast of characters, they come to life the minute you open the cover right until you turn the last page! A totally addicting story that keeps you guessing what will happen next. I have loved Giana’s men in the “Corruption Series” and believe that Lion may just be the sexiest yet!!! Get your copy today and be prepared for the ride of your life!!!
I loved Harleigh and Danner! H.R. was so sassy and brave and strong! Danner was super hot too! I couldn’t put this one down and I can’t wait for more Fallen Men!
Holy fish sticks. This was incredible!!! 5 stars all the way. Loved this book hard. So many moments of my jaw dropping. But man oh man I’m super excited for what’s to come! Its gonna be epic as usual. I really enjoyed seeing the whole Garro Gang again. This was so worth the wait and everything.
I loved this book. Giana Darling has a way of writing her characters that just brings them to life, you’re able to completely visualize them and feel all their emotions. She sucks you in and doesn’t let go til you finish the book….and even then, you don’t want to let go of the story!
Harleigh Rose was such an awesome heroine….larger than life, bold and sassy and strong, she doesn’t take crap from anyone. Danner is the only person she’ll willingly bend to. She fell in love with him as a little girl, and he’s always had an influence on her life. HR is the classic “bad girl” and Danner starts out as being the classic “good guy”, he’s very black and white, right and wrong, no gray areas. Over time, he comes to realize that nothing is that clear cut, and sometimes doing the right thing takes an unconventional approach.
That ending…and that epilogue! As usual, I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next!
I have a huge girl crush on Giana Darling and her Fallen Men series!! Good Gone Bad was well worth the weight and one of my top reads of 2018!!
This installment focuses on Lionel Danner and Harleigh Rose Garro. You can’t focus on HR without including her close-knit family of blood and brothers. Giana spins a delicate web with this storyline that traps you in for hours while you yearn for it to never end!!
He f***ed me like he hated me, and it was the best lie he ever told.
When I’m good,
I’m very good,
but when I’m bad,
I’m better.

I’m going to be honest. I didn’t know how much I would love Harleigh Rose. I kept thinking while I was reading Welcome to the Dark Side, I would take Loulou over H.R. any day. I felt for Lou because she was a long lost friend and I felt the love that she had for Zeus. With H.R., it took me a minute. She became my friend as well. Not like Lou but maybe even better. She had an overwhelming presence. H.R. had a I-don’t-give-two-f*cks attitude, which made me laugh and be proud many times over. She was the princess of the Fallen MC. H.R. had family that didn’t question her craziness but cultivated it because they understood this is Harleigh Rose.
Just like Welcome to the Dark Side, there was past connection between Lionel Danner and Harleigh Rose Garro. I loved how the author brought that to the forefront. Their love wasn’t instant. It happened over time. Oh Danner… I felt for the man. I didn’t think he saw H.R. coming, his Rosie. I could tell Danner was conflicted. He didn’t want to name what he felt for Rosie. It was there in black and white. There was no need to investigate. When Danner and H.R. finally meet up again, it was like lighting TNT. Someone was bound to get hurt and you didn’t know who was going to survive at the end. I want to say so much more… Ugh… Let me say this… A couple chapters into the book, I felt for Harleigh Rose. She was tough as nails but she had a sweet center, which she guarded. She wanted to be loved but not just by family. H.R. wanted to know what it felt like to be truly free. She might have been bad, an outlaw biker chick, but there was so much good.
The ending was bittersweet. I didn’t throw my kindle but I want to hell, scream, and pray. I kept thinking this can’t be right. This couldn’t be happening. Again… I want to voice it but I’m not going to say… I’m not that kind of reader who gives away the spoilers. Let me just say this… The ending will leave you right on the edge and have you wanting more. Be ready. Buckle up.
Song for the end of the story: Shinedown- State of My Head
I am so freaking in love with Lion!! Who wouldn’t love a gentleman on the streets and a Dom between the sheets?!?!? His courage and determination, his tender kindness toward those who have been wronged and deserve justice, his devotion and never failing love for those he cares for. Lion appears to be the epitome of everything good, but is anyone ever all good or bad?
Harleigh Rose is full of sass, rock and roll, and badassery! She never met a rule she didn’t break. From a young age, she spoke her mind, charmed those around her and stole hearts. As a woman, she knows exactly what she wants but feels undeserving.
Good Gone Bad is a story of love and duality. Good vs. bad. Living on the right side of the law vs. living as an outlaw. In a world where anything goes and rules were made to be broken, Rosie and Danner battle the demons within as well as the ones that threaten the very future they both dream of. Can they find a way to beat the odds or will they turn out to be just another Shakespearean tragedy?
As always with The Fallen Men, you never know what’s going to happen next! So grab your tissues and shot glasses and prepare because it’s one wild ride!
First it was King and Cress. Then Zeus and Loulou. And now is Danner and Harleigh Rose, Giana Darling know how to make her girls and men just fable delicious!
Been waiting for Danner story cause I just know he will be that gentleman, honourable man. The one who would walk that fine straight line as man of the law. The man that was so fiiiine, I know he would be the wickest of all and man oh man… Danner didn’t dissapointed me.
And Harleigh Rose. My thorni beautiful fierce loving Rosie…this girl is so beautiful in the inside like she is on the out side. Love her spirit. Love how she love. Love how strong she is. Love love love this girl fiercely!
And steamy scenes… Oh my heaven! Giana Darling sure waiting for babies boom next year! Cause oh my… I’m hot and bothered just by remember them. Too good! And Danner dirty talk???? Oh heaven…i’m dead. Just dead in lust!
Excited for more from this author.
OMG this book!! First, can we just say HOT… Like windows open in the dead of winter this story is still gonna steam up your Kindle! This is book 3 in the series, and I really didn’t think anyone would top Daddy Zeus from Welcome To The Darkside, but I was looking forward to this one all the same, we’d been introduced to H.R. and she was a proper bad@$$, and Officer Danner, the nice guy but kind of on the opposite side of things for an MC Princess. I couldn’t see how they were going to get through all the obstacles that were stacked against them before they even began but I was ready to jump in and see how this amazing author could guide them through it… OMG poor naive me before I read this lol I HAD NO IDEA what she had in store for these two! Saying I loved it would be an understatement. This was brilliance, just excellent storytelling. So many twists that come out of nowhere, suspense, did I mention the heat? It was so hot I should probably mention it again, and if your prone to blushing, don’t read it in public LOL. The whole story though, honestly, no words, just so beautiful, all the love in this book, beauty beyond measure. It really resonates, you FEEL with these two, this author absolutely GUTTED me then put me back together by the end. It really was a wonderful book and a story that will stay with me because of all the emotions it stirred up. GET THIS BOOK!
Once again this author delivers a book journey that will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire book! Another book where I have laughed and cried and the intense emotions this story evokes is overwhelming so much so that it holds your head and heart in a vice like grip until the last word has been read! Gah! The words ‘The end’ were not welcome!!
The connection between Danner and HR starts when HR is just 6 years old and doing what she can to survive with a drug addict as a mother! That connection just continues to grow right the way through to adulthood, the relationship is both beautiful and encompassing, two very strong willed characters have the kind of sexual relationship that you can only dream about. It’s hot, it’s dominating, it’s intoxicating. The author did these two characters justice. They have been present in the previous two book in the series but this time we get a chance to really know them, peel back the layers of these complex characters and fall in live with them even more!
A fantastic MC story with characters to love and hate, to champion and to capitulate! I would love to have Zeus Garro as my father, a cuddly bear for his children and a force to be reckoned with with his adversaries. Great read… ok heart you can start beating again…
Mind blowing , shocking and a must read
Wow, what a story; it’s raw, unfiltered, passionate , gritty and sexuality explicit . I enjoyed reading this no hold barred , page – turner tale. Lionel Danner and Harleigh Rose Garro are two of the most intense , conflicted and endearing characters I have read in a while and their road to HEA it’s full of deep lows , inconvenient half truths and a passion and love for each other that knows no bounds.
Good Gone Bad is intense; I believe , at some point while reading it , I must have had an emotional short circuit…
Giana Darling , delivers an unapologetically , unrestrained, gripping and emotional story that keeps you guessing and saying to yourself “OMG , what the hell!”. Be prepared to be blown away !
Good Gone Bad left me a bundle of emotions and open nerve endings , Ms. Darling you slayed me!
And I can hardly wait for book 4 in The Fallen Men Book Series.
Giana needs a standing ovation for this story.
My most anticipated read of 2018 has hands down been my favourite story about the Garro Family. Giana has definitely left the best till last and she blew me away with this past paced, action packed thriller with erotic themes that just made the pages sizzle.
A reunion like no other for Harley-Rose and Lionel Danner is what graces us in the first chapter and what can I say… wowza!!!!! Hold onto your hearts girls because you will be engrossed until the very end and you will fall just as hard as I did.
Danner is absolutely my favourite character. His heart is as fierce as a lion and his loyalty to his rose is all-consuming and perfect. Their chemistry is off the charts HOT. No fan can decrease that heat I tell ya…
Harley though is one beautiful gladiator and is just the perfect lioness for Danner. She’s feisty and sassy and has a heart that will fight to the death. I absolutely adored her passion and her submissive tendencies, especially with letting her walls fall with Danner.
I was consumed by this book. It made my heart swell and my soul burn for a love that this whole family had shown. Giana knows how to create characters that embed themselves into your soul. I can’t rave enough about this intense, passionate love story. There is only one word that can describe this read is and that is unforgettable!!! It will remain in my heart vault for all eternity.
AMAZING STARS!!
Oh my goodness let me start off by saying Danner is a dirty dirty man and I love it!!
Danner and H.R’s story was so good. I don’t know how to write down everything I’m feeling without blowing it. So GO READ THIS NOW!!!
Oh my goodness what a ride! Packed full of action, twists and turns and some super hot chemistry, this book kept me hooked from start to finish! I had very high hopes for Harleigh Rose and Danner’s story and this book by far exceeded all of my expectations! I just finished it and I already cant wait to read it again! That ending though! I need me more Fallen Lords!
Wellllllll. If you haven’t read Lessons & WTTDS, stop, go back and start at the beginning. This is book 3 in The Fallen series.
First. I love every thing Ms. Darling writes.
Every.
Single.
Thing.
Second. Holy crap. I felt like I waited ——
f-o-r-e-v-e-r (said like Smalls in Sandlot) for this story, it was WELL WORTH IT!!!
Danner & Harleigh were literally life!
I highly recommend this series and everything she writes. I feel like these people are my friends and family. It’s a very talented author than can make me feel related to her characters.
This book starts, hell I don’t know how to even write this without spoiling anything, ok….
Danner is one of the good guys. Harleigh Rose has loved him forever and she lives opposite of the traditionally good side. Match made in difficulty!
This read starts off with a bang. And ends with a smack down.
If you like alpha men who love to protect women who don’t need protecting? This book might be for you…
If you like dominant men in the bedroom and very strong selfless women who want to submit? This book might be for you…
If you like lots of connected books based on 1 family and it’s branches? This book might be for you….
If you like action, sexy sex, smoking hotness, and all the good? This book might be for you….
I really can’t say much else without giving away the awesomeness. I highly, highly recommend. If I could I’d give it all the stars.
Giana Darling
Oh my heart.
It was ripped up, torn to shreds, and put back together over and over while reading this fantastic tale of honor, sacrifice, love……but most of all family.
Danner & Harleigh Rose truly took me on an epic ride, unlike any other I’ve experienced.
I loved this book, it was a marvelous addition to the Fallen MC Series. Danner and HR are the sexiest couple. The book is exciting, intriguing and very steamy. I love Gianna Darling and her wonderful stories. This is definitely a best read of the year.
Worth the wait! Danner was every dirty thing I had hoped he would be and more! I loved him so HARD!
A love story that took place over more than a decade. An innocent love that turned into an all-consuming, undeniably irresistible love. The kind of love every woman dreams of finding.
Danner is a good cop. He’s the guy who wants to see the bad guys get served their justice. His alpha, dominant personality was freakin’ HOT! However, his love for a woman’s defiant, wild side was even sexier. He needed a woman who was his perfect match.
Harleigh Rose is a badass! An MC Princess raised by the club. She was fearless and ferociously protective of her family. But even a girl with a tough exterior has her soft spots.
Danner has always had his own soft spot for HR. However, being on opposite sides of the law has always presented it’s challenges. These two crossed paths many times. And then he left. He was gone from her life for more than three years. Now HR has gotten herself into some trouble and the only person she calls is him.
The push and pull between Lion and Rosie is beautiful. His need to control and her need to lose herself are absolute perfection in every way. Some of the hottest sex scenes EVER!
Each story in the Fallen Series is amazing in it’s own right. Each story stands on it’s own with fantastic characters that make you love and adore them. This story was no different. The author brought so many unforgettable words and evoked so many emotions. Her stories are unforgettable. I love the writing and the flashbacks shed so much light on how Harleigh Rose and Lion came to be. An absolutely fabulous read that will consume your life until the last word.
