Was this supposed to make me laugh in disbelief? It gave my brain a break for sure, but I could not take any of this seriously.
Also the constant repetition is excessive.

VERY bizarre writing.
I could quote so many bizarre choices of words from this book, like weirdly gendered actions/descriptions, or other strange instances:
The heroine saying that a female character stole the hero's "beautiful virginity..."
Huh?
At some point, I think the heroine describes the taste of the hero as "male...?" Like what does that even mean? How can you define a taste as male?
She also referred to herself as a "cougar" when she's like 24...
Um. K.
But I listened through audio and quoting all the bizarre content would take so much effort that I am not willing to invest.
Also, I already know how sexist MC romances are, but do authors know they can change this?
It is entirely possible to write heroines and female characters who don't fight each other over men... or call each other "slutshaming" names, or have characters refer to women as "bitches..."
It is entirely possible. Just wanted to remind y'all.
I also have no desire to read about a pathetic heroine willing to literally fight another woman over a man, let alone over an 18 year old boy lol.
Or a female characters (Paula) trying to one-up the heroine by saying the previously underage hero was able to take all her holes with his c

This is my first real MC romance and it did not disappoint! I definitely loved the motorcycle club aspect of this story and all the members, which is great because they all got their own stories (which you will see soon from me !).
First of all, I surprisingly haven’t read a teacherxstudent with a women teacher but I LOVED IT. Cressida and King were meant to be and their relationship was absolutely adorable. I loved seeing Creasida come into herself and break away from her submissive upbringing. Also, their relationship was HOT

4.5 ⭐️
so many things I adore in this book. the way King says “yea” all the time, the nickname that the Fallen Brothers have for Cressida. the found family, Cressida’s growth. I can list all of it here but it’ll be TLDR.
only one thing that bugs me is how much King calls her, babe. but hey, that’s a me problem!
all in all, solid read! I’m amp-ed up to read the rest of the Fallen Men series. sooooo ready to meet Daddy Zues & be cozily acquainted with him

“I’d wanted to shed my old skin, those old connections, but did I really want to do a 180?”
Before reading Lessons in Corruption, I haven’t read anything by Giana Darling. I kept hearing about the Fallen Men series but was hesitant. To tell you the truth, I held out starting the Fallen Men series because I heard mixed things about Lessons in Corruptions. Honestly, it took me a bit to get into the book. I tried reading Lessons in Corruptions a few times. But, so many factors interfered with my reading; timing, headspace, and attention. These are just some of the reasons. But once I got into it, I regret not reading the Fallen Men series sooner.
I understood the mixed feelings, though, because there was something I can’t put my finger on that makes Lessons in Corruption as well as King and Cress not my favorite. The other couples are more interesting to me. This is funny because people love King and Cress, and they have more than one book about them. Lessons in Corruption sets the foundation of the series. The book introduces the other characters and the world I’ve come to love. There’s just something about this world that makes me want to keep coming back.
If this sounds negative, that’s not my intent. Cress loves books, and I can relate to that. King and Cress together make sense even though it doesn’t look like it. In some ways, I can connect to Cress, even though there are a few things I understand or don’t like. It is all subjective, and it’s just my opinion. I’m glad I gave Lessons in Corruption a chance. After reading Lessons in Corruption, I fell into a deep hole, reading the Fallen Men series back to back, with a few other books mixed in between.
Lessons In Corruption is a sexy and sensuous age gap romance about a newly single teacher that has fallen for her 18 year old student.
King Garro is next in line as President of his father’s motorcycle club, but his passion for poetry and his interest in his teacher are above everything else.
Cressida has lived a lifeless marriage for the past 8 years and becomes instantly captivated by King when they lock eyes on each other in a grocery store parking lot. Their secret love-life is everything I wanted in a student/teacher romance.
What makes this story even more enticing is when King takes the upper-hand of their relationship and becomes everything Cressida has ever needed from a protector to a lover!
If you haven’t read book 1 of the Fallen Men Series, what are you waiting for?
