Lessons In Corruption: A Student/Teacher Romance (The Fallen Men Book 1)
By gianadarling
Darling spins a taboo-ish MC tale full of character and delishisness that will singe you’re fingers as you turn the pages. This story was action packed and rich in contradiction of what we normally perceive MC tales to be.
Cressida has lived a life of privilege and groomed to be the obedient wife and perfect homemaker to her much older husband William, until the day she sees King across a parking lot. Her whole life changes in the blink of an eye. Once she makes the decision to become independent, she meets her stranger again, but there is a major secret he has witheld from her that changes everything…..or does it? We watch Cressida maneuver through her new life and entanglements that are taboo and rife with bad decisions that are so good it totally detracts from the issues and pulls the reader in to an absolutely fabulous story.
This is also one of the hotest MC hero’s, and couples, I’ve read in a long time. Definitely one of the best stories I’ve read this year and the first story by this author for me. This is a story you do not want to miss and once you pick it up you won’t be able to put it down!
I am so looking forward to Zeus’ upcoming story and can already imagine some of the other MC brothers having stories of their own along Cressida’s brother Lysander also. So looking forward to reading more of this MC family.
King, how I miss you. I am still hungover from this book. It is one that I will re-read. I was reading so fast, that I’m sure I missed some details. It’s one of those books where I wanted to get to the end and at the same time I didn’t want it to end.
When Cressida sees King from across the street: “I may have loved him from the moment I saw him…”
This is a teacher-student romance, that is insanely hot and well written. King is not your normal 18 year old, he is confident and knows how to get what he wants. His seduction of Cressida is artful and demanding; to the point that she cannot resist him, no matter how hard she tries or believes she should. He is a bad boy and tough, but also loving and smart with a good heart.
Cressida is lost in her marriage. Her encounter with King from across the street, gives her the strength to break free. For the first time, she is on her own, finding her way and King is more than happy to show her the way. “I’m gonna show you how to live, if you let me in to do it.” She is tough and can stand on her own. But, she has moments of insecurity and doubt ingrained from her upbringing and her marriage. She doubts she can commit to a life of “crime” since King’s family is an MC. But, she soon finds out that not everything is as it seems. “My life is a mess and I’m not jumping up and down at the thought of dating a criminal.”
Their chemistry is SUPER HOT! HOT! HOT! His words are mesmerizing. His actions make you swoon (an apple a day with a poem). Throughout the story, in class they are discussing Paradise Lost, which compares to their relationship- Satan, forbidden, apple, freedom……
“Never met a woman like you. Know I won’t again. You find somethin’ worth keepin’, you find a way to f_ _kin’ keep it.”
One of my favorite reads. Giana Darling is one of my “1-click” authors with no hesitation.
Omg!!! Omg!!!! Omg!!!! What an AMAZING book!!!! I can’t even find words to express how much I loved this book!! I laughed, and rolled my eyes (possessive men OMG) and laughed some more and my heart broke for the hurt and pain that was suffered, but then my heart was healed and all was well with the world for Cressida and King. I am not always a fan of forbidden love stories, but I felt like Giana did this very well and didn’t push the boundaries that many authors do. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series, the spring can’t come fast enough so that I can have more Cressida, King and especially Zeus. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Well I have to say that Giana Darling has knocked it out of the park with this book. All you want to do is swoon for King. He is one hot alpha male that can even rule you as you read him. King was such a strong character in the book that he was almost the reason why I wanted to read this book to hear what he had to say. Cressie was a character that you wanted to beat her family for trying to control her. It was a great read you really enjoyed all the secondary characters and the writing really left you wanting to know more about those characters as well. You almost want to be part of the book. This is a great start to an awesome new series. Can’t wait to learn more about the rest of the characters. That were introduced in this book.
I wasn’t a big fan of MC. But Giana Darling just rocked my world!!!!
This book was sexy, gritty and raw. King was all alpha!! And when he set his eyes on his teacher Cressida she doesn’t stand a chance. I love a great Taboo story and Darling delivers that in spades with this story. Darling also nailed it with the whole biker verbage. I am hooked!!!!! Definately a MUST read!!!
Lessons in Corruption is a gritty, forbidden romance between King Kyle Garro and Cressida Irons. King is a sexy and confident 18-year old, mature beyond his years, with a filthy mouth, a slightly rough around the edges, writes beautiful poetry and rides a Harley. He also happens to be Cressida’s student. Cressida is intelligent, sassy but reserved and doesn’t realize her own worth. She’s starting over again after a failed marriage that has left her questioning who she is. Their attraction is electric. His pursuit is relentless. Despite his age, he is all man. Despite his age, he is hard to resist. The story is intriguing and romantic with a little suspense. Secondary characters like King’s single dad, Zeus, are magnetic. It’s a great start to the s
This was my first read by this author, HOLY SMOKES it definitely won’t be my last. I need more of The Fallen NOW!!
I was intrigued from the very beginning all the way to the last page.
This was a totally hot alpha male MC book and I absolutely loved It! I was up until 3am because I couldn’t put it down! I loved all the banter and the storyline was unique and very good!
An eighteen, heir to MC club, her student…forbidden
An older woman, still married, his teacher…forbidden
But one look, one touch, one kiss and they know they belong together. No matter what.
Now…this book is my first from this author and i regret reading it. I regret why oh why have i just found this author!
Giana Darling will captured your intention from the first word!
First page, when Cress saw King across the parking lot…oh my ovaries…the author sure know how to put her words so to make you feel like you are Cressida. That you are standing across that parking lot and that beutifull King is standing there in front of you. And not just read about it. Every moment. Every detail. And absolutely every sexy scene she write…how in the name all that sexy, steamy, passionate…Giana Darling is my new darling author!
She put shame on all the real life dude out there because of King. That boy-man is just utter perfection!

And Cress…she’s me. I’m not even kidding here you guys. That woman is me in her rules follower, her wish to keep everyone happy except her self in the end, her nerdness. The only small thing separate her and me is…King!
Seriously you guys. You need this book! Cause this MC romance is just not your usual MC romance. Congrats for LIC, Giana. Absolutely excited to meet Daddy Zeus next
Holy hot sauce. King and Cress were amazing. I completely fell in love with King. Even though he is so young, he is very wise beyond his years. Such a true romantic soul. I understood Cress’s fears with being with King as she was his teacher. I loved Harleigh Rose and Zeus.
Lessons in Corruption will just wrap its arms around you and squeeze while you read. I love how Giana writes period! I love that she is unafraid to take on the taboo subjects. I love King Garro and his Queen. If you are a reader who enjoys a well written MC book with sexy, interesting characters that will take you on an intriguing, twisted ride…… READ THIS BOOK!
I didn’t think Giana could get better than The Evolution of Sin series but she proved me wrong. Hot, sexy, and the writing of perfection.
New to me author. I haven’t read a MC story in so long so this was a pleasant surprise. Teacher/student older woman/younger man scenario. I’m used to reading alpha male especially in a MC story but with a 18 year boy not so much. He’s cocky, arrogant and godlike and with the King he definitely acts like it. He’s different in the way he’s smart and writes poetry. The way King and Cressida met was certainly different they basically saw each other, she was memorised by him and couldn’t stop staring at him and he with her. He couldn’t figure out why this gorgeous woman was eye fucking him. She was a meek woman before this day and slowly her soul was dying seems a bit dramatic but she was groomed to be a stepford wife. She definitely grew into her own being his queen, she was funny and dorky and in an adorable way. I liked the two of them together.
Once you get past some of the similarity of SOA (Sons Of Anarchy) Blond Hot biker, Older woman younger boy, They own a garage where they do all dealings, town wants them out. Its really a HOT and I mean HOT read. For 18yrs King is the Man lol Its steamy and you just want to ride and find these men lol Zeus the dad I kinda like him hes sweet. The shopping trip so cute. Harleigh Rose, I love her The MC know it all. I loved how she tried to fill Cress with all the gossip. Tayline and Rainbow Oh the girls behind the Men is always the best.
Teacher Student now dont get all eww first hes of age let it go. Second hes more man than her her husband was. You will see and her parents I wanted to know what they really why they gave their daughter up. The brother you knew was sketchy. So much seemed to be missing but I looked past it. It was more King and Cressida than everything else.
Cressida was married off at 18 basically trained to be a stepford wife. Till shes sees A hot blond biker outside the grocery store she was so caught up on him she decided that life was to short to stay in a marriage she no longer wanted. She moves to Entrance buys a crappy cheap house and starts teaching. She runs into hot biker at the bar and jumps on his bike after she finds out he is a student in her class. What is she to do
King son of the Zeus prez of The Fallen MC. King badboy but even though hes born into the MC he hasnt patched but its still his family. He has a brain and plans to us it. Hes more than what you see. The day he saw Cressida staring at him like he was everything he had to figure out how to get her. Someone is HOT for teacher lol
“William loved me in a beautiful way, the way one might love a perfectly formed rose, a sentimental trinket.”
“A man without respect for the law is not a man without respect for anything. ”
“The mind is its owns place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell or hell of heaven.”
“You’re a King who makes her want to be his rough and tumble Queen”
” Good girl, you made the right choice. Now take me in your mouth and show me just how much of a man I am.”
‘Tonight , you’re the student and I’m the teacher.”
Oh good lord this book was so freaking good!!! King is an 18 year old high school student and son of the president of The Fallen MC. He is everything…..Alpha, wicked smart, poetic, romantic, funny and sexy AF. He is also the student of Cressinda. She was groomed by her parents to be the good girl and to marry and older man. Fate intervened in the most perfect way to bring these two together.
I am seriously in love with Giana Darling’s writing! She gives us a raw, gritty, at times funny and sad, and have a fan handy because this story is hot AF!!
A book loving Biker poet whats not to love?
King Kyle Garro may only be 18 but he’s older than his years, I guess that’s the Biker lifestyle for you. You grow up fast and learn life’s lessons early.
This was an enjoyable read. I loved the instant chemistry between King and Cressida It was believable, they are Hott together. I loved the car park scene at the beginning of this book.
If you’re a fan of teacher/student romance with an MC and some badass bikers as an added bonus you’ll enjoy this one.
I’m not gonna lie Zeus Garro stole the show for me. Now that’s the kinda of man that makes me weak at the knees. I can’t wait to be corrupted by him.
I’m hoping Nova gets his book too he definitely deserves his own story.
Loved this book. I love King and his Queenie. I finished this book in one sitting once you get started you can’t put it down. The writing is fantastic and their story is so unconventional but so sexy and swoon worthy. Definitely a top read for me this year. Can’t wait to read the next book. Bring on Zeus and Lou
Amazing book. I became a huge fun of this author over night. Her books are in my 1-click list.
This is a teacher/student romance and an MC one.
I stumbled on it when I was looking books in Kindle Unlimited and thought to give it a try because of it’s good rate. Once I finished it I went back and bought it and then I bought the second one.
5 plus stars one of the best books I’ve read in a long time
Amazing job Giana Darling!
Older women dating younger men has never been my thing, but this fabulous author makes King Kyle Garro completely irresistible. This story is beautifully written with plenty of sexual tension thrown in because Darling is just that good.
We are able to watch Cressida evolve from the woman she is raised to be to the woman she is inside and King is the catalyst to ignite that change. King, in turn, shows us the meaning of perseverance in the face of adversity when he discovers something (or someone) he truly desires. Other smaller, but no less important factors that make this book so awe-inspiring is the love, devotion, and loyalty shown by The Fallen MC.
This is a book that you don’t want to miss and I would recommend it to anyone!!
