This was so good, I can’t believe I waited so long to start this series!
I am immediately going to start the next one. I absolutely loved King and I know I’ll love his dad even more.

I haven't read much of Giana Darling but now I definitely won't stop reading her books! I heard so many good things about this book and I couldn't wait to pick it up. Cress and King's story is everything and more I need when it comes to a forbidden, age gap, student/teacher romance. Cress is in need of a change, she is married to a guy if is not what she needs in life, she need excitement and she needs someone like King, even if King is her student and is only 18. King is 100% an alpha male, he is possessive and is 18 going on 30, he is not your typical 18 year old. Cress and King are the most unlikely but sexy couples I have ever read about and I definitely can't wait to see more from them as this series continues. Their connection and chemistry is extremely enjoyable and I couldn't get enough of it.

I’m into the biker gang deal so I liked it. She drove me nuts sometimes, pathetic at times. Nothing gave me major feels on this one, it was okay. Typical of me that the first in a series is my least favorite though so, we’ll see.
I thought this book would be difficult for me. I thought the age gap (h being older than H) would be something I would struggle with. NOPE. This book was so damn good that I certainly never struggled with it. King doesn’t act like a boy, he’s definitely more man then a lot of men! So good. So hot. I am so hooked on this series. (I actually started with book two.) I just can’t get enough!
El caso es que, pese a que no destaca en lo más mínimo porque no es un buen libro, con un machismo impresionante que no trata como uno de sus temas sino que es inherente a la autora, está claro, lo leí sin parar hasta las últimas 100 págs., cuando no podía esperar a que acabara. La parte más puramente mecánica del erotismo estaba bien. Ritmo ágil, personajes manidos y poco interesantes, acción adecuada, supongo.
I found Giana Darling through bookstagram, having noticed all the hubbub around one of her recent releases, "Dead Man Walking." I waited a little, getting my feet wet in the wonderful world of bookish social media, before finally diving into The Fallen Men series. I decided to start with the first in the series (though they're all technically standalone books, I believe). I prefer to get the big picture of the new world I'm immersing myself in from the beginning.
'Lessons in Corruption' is a contemporary, motorcycle club romance that includes an age gap between the two main characters - King and Cressida. To say that I was not disappointed, is an understatement - the wonderful, positive buzz around this series and this author are well deserved. The writing is brilliant, vibrant and pulls you into a family that doesn't feel new or contrived but instead makes you fall in love with each character.
Cressida is a very sheltered young woman - married but completely devoid of passion and never really experienced life and living. King is young in years but not in living, not in experience. An old soul in a ridiculously shit-hot body with a penchant for books, poetry, motorcycles and apparently older women. Or at least this one older woman... who also happens to be his teacher!
This taboo relationship has its difficulties finding it's footing but King's confidence in what he wants and what his future holds keeps Cress enthralled (though still concerned about what this means for her life, her career, her own future). The love and lives of these characters were complex and layered... and the sex and intimacy were absolute fire!!
More than just King and Cress, Darling introduces to a family you cannot help but adore. Some of the students, most the biker brothers - they're all fully developed and wonderful characters whose stories you can't wait to read. Even the character you're not meant to like, you really won't like! I promise!
The series is incredible and this book is an incredible set-up to this new world!

3.5 ⭐️. I enjoyed this book a fair bit. I loved both characters and I was pleased to see the hero was a mature adult seeing as he is 18 years old. And most people that are 18 act like they are 6
