☆NOW A TOP 40 AMAZON BESTSELLER☆I was a good girl. I ate my vegetables, volunteered at the local autism centre and sat in the front pew of church every Sunday.Then, I got cancer.What the hell kind of reward was that for a boring life well lived?I was a seventeen-year-old paradigm of virtue and I was tired of it. So, when I finally ran into the man I’d been writing to since he saved my life as a … to since he saved my life as a little girl and he offered to show me the dark side of life before I left it for good, I said yes.
Only, I didn’t know that Zeus Garro was the President of The Fallen MC and when you made a deal with a man who is worse than the devil, there was no going back…
This is Daddy Zeus Garro’s story from Lessons In Corruption. A standalone in The Fallen Men Series.

I am not usually a fan of MC romance. This one looked different because the main character was a young girl with cancer. The big scary MC president saved her life when she was seven. This started a lifelong friendship that evolved into a romance when she became an adult. Lots of bad guys, betrayal, violence, love and sex. An unexpected charming love story
I don’t write reviews. I LOVED THIS BOOK!
Um, wow! I wasn’t ready for this story.
I was definitely unsure on how I would respond to this story. The blurb doesn’t do it justice for what you’re going to go through and feel throughout this book.
Louise is a girl trying to break out of a carefully constructed shell, she’s been through hell and back in her short 17 years and she has no one (besides her young sister) to back her up, to help her keep a level head.
But Zeus keeps his eye on her, he watches from afar and guides her where he can and when she’s older, he tries to do his best to stay away but she makes that very difficult.
I have to say, one of my favorite characters ever was in this book, he was a silent protector that made it possible for Louise to have her HEA.
This book was heartbreaking and I’m not even sure this review makes sense, but you will not be disappointed with this read.
Don’t care about the age difference, I loved Zeus. Can I have him for myself?
Great read, heartbreaking. Would have love to have all the questions answered.
I absolutely love Welcome to the Darkside. Zeus and Lulu set the bar for age gap romances and it’s an extremely high bar. Giana Darling writes the voices of each character so well that you feel like your living their lives with them. Zeus, Mute, Queenie, King, Lulu, and H.R. become your dear friends by the end of the book. You feel their every heartbreak and victory. A total 5 star read. This book should be on everyone’s must read list.
Love this book! Can’t wait for the fourth book to come out.
Love stories about MC! Very strong characters.
It was a heartfelt story with a lot of emotion. The characters were wonderfully written.
Yes Daddy Z, come rescue me! Holy Hot Biker this was absolutely fabulous!! Zeus Garro is the president on the fallen MC. He saved a little girl once, she gave him the strength to get through some hard times however she isn’t a little girl anymore. No, Louise “Lou” Layfette is all woman now & she’s also the same age as his daughter! Can Zeus find a way to stay away from Lou and protect her at the same time or will trouble finds its way to her again? This book has everything you want in an MC book and more! I can’t believe I waited this long to read it! Told in dual POV
This is an amazing MC book! It will keep you on your toes with so many twists and turns that will keep you guessing. You will fall in LOVE with Daddy Zeus.
What other’s might find as uncomfortable as this is an age gap book, keep reading! A very compelling story about Love <3 I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would! This is a definite reread. Miss Darling is a poet!
It was so hot but it also made me laugh out loud and it made me cry! Everything you could want in a book! One of my favourite reads of 2018
Daddy Zeus, I cant say anything to really tell you how amazing Alpha this Man is. If you have read Lessons in Corruption the first book of this series you will see where King gets it from, and if you haven’t read it well, get on it. This are Taboo, MC, Over the top Alphas that treat their ladies like Queens. One of my favorite reads of the year.
“The first seventeen years of my life, I fasted. I kept my body clean and my spirit pure. Now, I wanted to feast like a glutton, spread lust on my breakfast toast, shoot violence and sip greed. And I want you to teach me, sinner man, because you’re the only man for the job.”
It took one day for Lou’s life to change completely.
She was a good girl her whole life. She had done everything she had been told. She follows all rules, went to church every Sunday and in the end she got cancer.
The day everything changes she meets her guardian monster. The man who will protect her, who will kill for her and the man who will love her forever.
At seven years old Lou already knew what she wants….or who she wants. 19 years older than her Zeus Garro was the man who will stand next to her and fight her battles along with her.
Years of letters between Zeus and Lou we saw them building such a strong connection. In their letters, we can see Lou growing up from this little girl to this young woman. With the years the love that Lou has for Zeus grown more than the love a little girl has for the man who was 19 years older than her. With time Zeus noticed how Lou’s feelings change. And he knew that his feeling changed too. He had to take the decision to stop and let her go. He always thought she needs someone better, younger, someone, who will give her the world.
“A true fallen angel, too bad for heaven, too good for hell, stuck on earth like a living divinity.”
That’s how Lou saw Zeus. Some too bad for heaven, too good for hell. He was everything she wanted.
Lou wanted to see what is to be on the dark side and Zeus the only one who could show her. After that, the love and lust between them start to grown eve more.
He was her guardian monster and she was his angel.
Their relationship went through a lot, but in the end, the love between them win over everything.
This book is defiantly my favorite from Giana and I recommend 100%!!!
This book is amazing. I love Zeus. Darling takes a relationship that make some people uncomfortable (big age gap), but weaves it in a way you do not think it’s disgusting in the least. Or, at least I did not. I loved it and the love the main characters had for each other.
I Zeus! I Zeus! I Zeus! My favourite book so far! Now I understand why king is so amazing, he has a great man to learn from in Zeus! This book makes you feel a roller coaster of emotions and I for one cussed out some characters while reading it! I cried more than expected to and although I highlighted many lines in this book one is staying with me “Men forget to treat women with tender affection and platonic encouragement. Lust was no worthy substitute for pure care.” Love love love this!!
This effing book! To be honest, it took me by complete surprise. I mean, I thought I would like it going in, but it blew my expectations out of the water. This is the second book by Giana Darling in The Fallen Men series and the second book by Giana that I have read. I thought King and Cress in Lessons in Corruption had chemistry and power together but damn if it doesn’t compare to Zeus and Lou’s connection! First of all, the way that Zeus and Lou meet is terrifying and exciting and heartwarming. They are instant kindred spirits, even with the age-gap. I love their sweet and funny interactions that continue after Zeus goes away to prison. And poor Zeus! He never stood a chance with the persistent spitfire that is LouLou. Once she reaches those dangerous teenage years he tries to cutoff their relationship (although he is still looking after her from afar!) because he knows the taboo nature that could be and he is trying to do right by Lou. But what’s meant to be is meant to be. They eventually come together in spectacular fashion that is funny and sweet and oh so sexy. Seriously sexy you guys. Yikes! I love the brothers in the MC and their interactions with Lou–heartwarming and sassy. We get to see more of King and Cress which is wonderful, and we get to know a bit more about Zeus’ daughter Harleigh Rose. And the drama and heartbreak…no joke, this is maybe the second time that I have teared up reading a book…ever. And it was because of heartbreak. Giana, you killed me! YOU know what I’m talking about. I haven’t done it justice with my ramblings, but this book was wonderful. The characters and storyline were unique and brought all the feelings. It’s so worth the heartache that is sure to come when reading it. Giana is a talented writer that has written some beautiful words. 5 effing stars for Welcome to the Dark Side!
Loved this book 🙂
(I just reread this story, getting ready for the next book in the series and felt this book deserved even more better review than I left the first time, so I added a lot more, that’s how much I loved this story. I read thousands of stories a year and I would have to put this book as my favorites of all times.)
Loved this story. I couldn’t put this book down. I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t wait to read Zeus’s story after meeting him in Lessons in Corruption. Giana Darling did a wonderful job on Welcome to the Dark Side. The story was very well written and had a amazing plot. The story was filled with emotions. I was on emotional rollercoaster. My heart broke. I couldn’t stopped the tears from falling even if I tried. This is the first story that has ever brought tears and I have read thousands of stories, a lot of sad ones but this one broke me. So beware you’ll need tissues.
Zeus and LouLou were strong characters. Both have been through a lot in their life. Both are leaders and fighters. Lou and Zeus are fierce. I would have to say LouLou and Zeus are my favorite characters that I have ever read about. They were bonded straight from the beginning. I really enjoyed Zeus and LouLou together. They were good for each other. The connection between them was strong, intense and the chemistry was off the chart sizzling. They were perfect together. I really enjoyed a lot of the characters in this story. One though, I fell hard for and that was Mute, he was perfect. He had a kind heart, he was loyal, caring and very protective. Loved Loulou and Mute’s relationship, they are the best of friends. Loved the piggyback and how he played with her hair all the time. Loulou had two perfect men that would do anything to keep her safe and loved. Loved the deep bound with the other MC characters, they are truly family.
This was a Fantastic story. I highly recommend this book and the series. They’re a 5 Star must reads. Giana Darling is a Wonderful Author. I would have to say one of favorites now.
Thank you, Giana Darling. Wonderful work 🙂 5 Stars! Can’t wait to read more of this series.
R. I. P. Walker. You will be forever missed and loved 🙁
After book one was bake to catch me in good mood i was really happy that i didn’t have to wait long until i can read the next book in these series.
Because after finishing book one i needed to start th second book in the same second. I read it while i was on flight and it made the flight time shorter.
One thing that i really enjoyed in the book was thta we had both point of view the male and the female.
At the begining i had a really small problem with the age difference of the characters but that went away while reading.
The author told us story that was well consructed. becaus it was build uin ohter then the other love stories i read about Mcs until then.
Some of the side kicks brought to rage a few times while reading, because i wasn’t able o get why they acted like they did.
The way in that the author showed us the development of her mein charactes was grate becaus the never had been a point where i was unable to see why they it. Because the heroine and the Hero had grate deveopment.
Also the steamy scences in this book hadn’t been written in way thta felt aut aof place while reading.
Dady Z was a man who knowed what wanted in life.
Lou was young girl that also knowed what she wanted. Seh had been kind of rebbelous,
All in all this wan amzing book but it gets only four of five horses.
