Giana Darling
really enjoyed King and Cressida’s book a different take on a student/teacher romance.
The book was well written and had a good story with characters I fell in love with. Looking forward to reading book two.
I stayed up all night reading this book! I couldn’t put it down because I had to know what was gonna happen next. Let me tell you, it was SOO worth being a zombie the next day! This book is beyond perfect.
Giana Darling’s books suck you in and keep you turning the pages as fast as you can..even when you want to slow down so the book doesn’t end!
This book posses everything you want in a book:
A sexy, protective, possessive alpha male
Forbidden love
A strong independent woman that takes no shit
A suspenseful plot with mystery, danger & intriguing twist
A beautiful love story that will make you swoon
Sex so freaking hot you’ll need MULTIPLE cold showers & extra batteries
I cannot wait for the next book in The Fallen Men series and will be chewing my nails off until it gets here!
I love taboo reads! This one was so good. When his teacher first spits King she changes her entire life. I loved that even at 18, King knew exactly what he wanted. I loved this story and can’t wait for Daddy’s book!
Lessons in Corruption was a beyond fantastic introduction to this author’s work that left me flabbergasted that I had never read her work before! Intriguing, gritty, provocative, heartgripping and absolutely beautiful this story drew me in from the very first page and completely blew me away.
To say that everyone needs to meet King Kyle Garro is an understatement. King is everything!! A walking contradiction he is a bad boy biker with the heart of a poet. Wise beyond his years, loyal, kind hearted, passionate, intense, possessive and confident in the best of ways there is so much more to him than meets the eye.
Cressida intrigued me from the very beginning. Living a sheltered life stuck on repeat until the day her eyes caught sight of a blond king and something inside her soul stirred awake. No longer content with just passing by Cress wanted to live and embrace life. I loved watching her take back her life and start to live again and how King was there every step of the way.
Cressida and King’s journey was not easy. There were hurdles to overcome and bumps and twists along their way but what an incredible journey it was. I loved how these two characters brought out the best in each other. Despite everything it was beyond obvious they were meant for each other and their story absolutely stole my heart. I can’t wait to read more of this series!
Super hot book. My first book by this author and it did not disappoint!!! I loved the raw sexy appeal of biker King. Their slang added to their sexiness. I loved the dynamic of shy teacher to bad boy student… It’s usually the other way around. Only thing I didn’t like was how things with the brother panned out. Would definitely read again! Can’t wait to Zeus’s book.
First, let me say that I rarely read MC stories. Second, I’ve never read this author before. Third, both first and second things are now history! I WILL be reading more MC stories now. I most certainly WILL be reading more books written by this talented author! I didn’t know what to expect when I started this book, but I hoped I would enjoy it. This book not only met, but far exceeded my hopes. About 25% in, I was hooked. At 50% in, I was completely in love with the characters in this book. By 75% in, I felt like I was living the story right along with them. At 100% finished, I was 100% satisfied! I loved, loved, loved this story, these characters, and the way the story was written and flowed effortlessly. There’s plenty of action, tension, angst, suspense, laughs, love and HOT sex. When I read, I want to be transported to somewhere else, taken away from my reality. Lessons in Corruption did that and more! Grab this fantastic read and enjoy!
This book gets all the stars!! All of them!! Daddy Zeus will always have my heart by man oh man, King is a very close second!! I’m seriously kicking myself for not discovering this author sooner because she is A-MAZING!! This book has everything I love…….suspense, grit and extreme heat, all rolled into one unputdownable story. I found it almost impossible to stop reading once I got started because I just had to know how things were going to unfold.
OMG This book was amazing. Giana was a new author to me, I heard so much about her when welcome to the dark side was coming out. I decided to read LIC first, since it was book 1 of the fallen men series. Holy smoke was King hot, bad boy, motorbike what more could a girl ask for. I absolutely fell in love with Giana’s style of writing and her ability to have the characters jumping out of the pages. The sex is flaming hot and I love all the swearing, it really suits the characters and is all used in the right places. I loved the fact that it was the guy that was younger. The sexual tension between cressida and king was so hot. I never like to give much away but this book is a must read.
I’ve had Lessons in Corruption in my TBR for a little bit now and after finishing this amazing read I can say..Hello my name is Megan and I’m a idiot for waiting so long… Seriously, this book was so so good! There was so many things that I loved about Cressida and King’s story their chemistry was fire, throw in the forbidden student/teacher relationship, MC Alpha male goodness and swoon you’ve got yourself one hell of a read. This is truly a story of love having no limits and once you’ve you met your forever there is simply no fighting it. If you haven’t read Lessons in Corruption yet; (don’t be an idiot like me and wait) Do yourself a favor and read it; I promise you won’t regret it
Lordy Lessons In Corruption is one heck of biker sinful perfection!
Mouthwatering good, sexy and oh so mesmerizing!
You will wish and pray to be Kings Teacher!
Lessons In Corruption is seriously beyond fantastic. There were countless moments where I found myself laughing out loud at these characters and how they went about their lives. The way King loves and loves so passionately is one of the best features I’ve seen in a hero in a long time. I couldn’t get enough of him. Some of the time I really wanted to smack Cressida in the face because she just kept getting in her own way but it’s also understandable why she’s so skeptical and scared of just living life how she wants to. The secondary characters in this book are worth 5 stars alone. Tayline and Rainbow are fabulous! The Fallen men are definitely an MC I can stand behind and I totally want more of them. Like how many books will there be and please say SERIES! Thank goodness Zeus is coming. I can’t wait to see how his story with Louise will be because her character seems so sweet but could have a broken background especially with her diagnosis. All around just from this one book I’m completely hooked. I WANT MORE! I loved Giana’s writing style and I will definitely be one clicking the next book with the Fallen MC.
This was the first book I read by Giana Darling and it won’t be the last! Lessons in Corruption is a student/teacher taboo romance. King is an old soul, mature beyond his years. Cress is a woman starting over and learning to make it on her own. The ups and downs, the twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Don’t even get me started on Daddy Zeus! Grab a copy and fall in love with the biker poet as well!
I absolutely loved King and Cress!!! These two were amazing. This is one of my fav troupes. So freaking hot i couldnt stop reading this book!
This is the first book I have read by this author and loved it! I was immediately drawn into the dull and drab life of Cressida. When she locked eyes with King Kyle Garro across the parking lot my ovaries just exploded. The power of this author’s words to describe the sexual tension between the two main characters was palpable. The sex scenes were hot and steamy and King was a force to be reckoned with. It was great the way King was portrayed as an A student who wanted to make something of himself. That just added to his sex appeal!
Told from a first person POV the book was steady paced and I think this book has given us the backstory to what is to follow. My only reason for knocking a star off was that I wished there was more and dark gritty MC storyline, the MC became a secondary story to Cress and King’s story. Now they have overcome the obstacles that stood in their way I hope book 2 will be life inside the MC. The author’s writing is raw and gritty and easy to read. I loved all the characters, the writer provided us with not just one sexy alpha but two, King’s dad ‘Poppa Garro’ was the MC prez (and closer to my age)!, There’s something just heart melting over a single dad, combine with his authority made me wanting to get to know him more. Their road names were quite imaginative too; this book even had me laughing at some parts. Loved it and can’t wait for book 2.
This book is worth 5 Fallen Men stars! I would’ve never thought I’d fall hard for our 18 year old King, but here I am, lusting after him next to Cress.
King had everything you’d want in a man. Tough, sweet, considerate, domineering, sensual, thoughtful…. theres so many ways to describe what a man King is.
Our beautiful Cress. We see her go through such a huge transition from being this meek housewife to a full blown badass queen.
I can’t even form proper words for this review yet, lol. Just know that i fell utterly in lust and love with the Fallen Men and our Queenie.
This book needs to be devoured by everyone!
What do you get when you cross a motorcycle club with a teacher student romance? A superhot, poetically written, forbidden romance. Generally speaking, biker romances aren’t my cup of tea. But I read Giana Darling’s Evolution of Sin series and absolutely adored it, so I took a chance. I am so glad I did.
King is the heir apparent to the most notorious biker gang on the West Coast. Not to mention something of a scholar. Cressida is his English teacher at a small exclusive private school. The first time Cressida laid eyes on King she had no idea who he was or what he would be to her. A sheltered wife who had gone straight from her parent’s home to her husband’s (who was living right next door – ewww), they first crossed paths on the day that she decides to leave her loveless marriage and strike out on her own. After spending several days formulating dirty fantasies about the biker God in the parking lot, she finds him sitting in her fourth period English class. Not exactly the way to kick off a new single life or is it?
Giana Darling is a genius when it comes to writing sexual tension and this story is no different. The usual tension you expect from a forbidden romance is that much sweeter in this story thanks to the poignant juxtaposition of King’s worldliness and protectiveness with Cressida’s innocence when her lack of experience thanks to her sheltered life exposes her to danger. This story is full of swagger and incendiary sex and sweet emotion. Not to mention a dose of beautiful writing. Giana Darling never disappoints.
4.5 stars
This is the first in The Fallen Men series, but I actually read it second. Loved this author’s writing style so much I immediately went and read this one. KING! Such a well written tale, hooked me in from the start and I couldn’t stop until I’d devoured every last word. Beautiful story telling thats sweet and haunting and so very hot all at the same time.
KING!!! KYLE!!! GARRO!!!
Where do I begin? Lessons in Corruption is my favorite Giana Darling book to date. Loved, loved, loved it. I wholeheartedly appreciate a book that can pull me in and make me feel it all. That’s exactly what this one did.
We are introduced to Cressida, a woman who plays it safe, does what she’s told and complies with every expectation required of her. She’s stuck in a very boring, monotonous state of being till she sees that fine specimen of a man called King. He gives her the inspiration and pep in her step that she needs to get her life, literally.
King is a young, intelligent, sexy Alpha MAN!! *Waves church hands* Yes he is, yes he is. Without giving away too much, let’s just say he helps Cressida live, learn, shows her the definition of family and allows her to be free.
I really loved watching through the pages how much Cressida grew. From beginning to end she changed and morphed into a strong, independent, open minded, un-afraid, fierce woman. She embraced her new normal and was able to just be. It was such a beautiful thing to read.
The sex scenes were EVERYTHING!!!! They will leave you a bit hot and bothered. King has a very dirty mouth that one can truly appreciate. I absolutely adored the secondary characters as well and can’t wait for some of their stories hopefully. (Lila & Nova and of course Papa Garro)
I would definitely recommend this book if you’re looking for a bit of angst, love, laughs and a true meaning of finding ones’ self. This book was soooooo good.
Click it. Click it NOW!
Giana knows how to write MC. Angst, check. Alpha, check. Smoking hot sexy times, check. ALL THE CHECKS!!
I am kicking myself in the butt for waiting so long to read and fall in love with The Fallen Men series.
King Kyle Garro and Cressida are absolute soulmates in every sense of the word.
The book has a great pace that makes you ignore everything around you (sorry, not-sorry, kids!)
And as soon as you click this one, grab Daddy Zeus before that one bursts in to flames. HOT HOT HOT.
