This is a reread for me and six years later, it's not as great a read as I remember, although it's still a good book. A few plot holes and storylines weren't as fleshed out as expected, but it was an authors first book so I still think it's better than most authors first books.
Loved the affections.....loved the family of bikers....
It’s so easy to fall in love with the Fallen Men!
With every Giana book I read, I fall more in love with her fabulous antihero men! King may be young in years but he’s more mature than most 40 year old men. Cressida may be the “adult” in the relationship, but he’s going to be the one to help her discover who she really is. The journey they take together is SO worth ride! If I thought Zeus was fire, I had no idea until I saw him more in his role as a father here...

3.5 stars! Cressida is unhappy in her marriage and after seeing an attractive, dangerous looking man in a grocery store parking lot, it sparks her to finally leave her husband. She sees the same man out at a bar a few weeks later and starts dating him only to find out that he is not only the son of The Fallens MC's president, but is also her new 18 year old student, King Garro. I think this book had some plot issues. Cressida and King have the same conversations over and over and decisions are made about the relationship that are taken back two pages later. But King Garro is an unbelievably attractive and interesting character! I was swooning the entire time reading it! A very steamy fun, read!!
no denying this was good. i mean it’s a taboo MC romance that’s framed as a loose reinterpretation of Paradise Lost with an impossibly hardened and mature but incredibly sweet 18 year old as the love interest/sexy Satan.
but
did the evil rival gang really have to be Mexican? :(

King Kyle Garro is the sweetest badass biker. This book was the first biker book I’ve read about and it was amazing.
Cressida was a great character but I couldn’t connect with her.
The first half of this book had me laughing, blushing and outright cackling. It was so fun and cute and enjoyable. I think it started of REALLY strong but started waning towards the end.
I did start to lose interest in the last 40% of the book but I read it and it wasn’t that bad. There was just too much back and forth between them. But there’s just something about the book that made me want to keep reading.
I really like tayline an cy and Zeus and all the rest of the side characters. Also Danner has piqued my interest. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

I read the second book in this series as a one off a few years ago and ever since then these characters have been running around my brain, eager to escape. I knew it was finally time to start from scratch.
I do love a taboo, forbidden romance, and Gianna Darling does them well. It was sexy without being weird.
The dynamic between our two main characters was a thrill to read. I adored the way that King loved Cressida. Oh, MC men.
There was a consistent, strong plot throughout so you never found yourself bored.
I’m definitely going to reread the second book and continue with the series! :)

i’m usually a fan of the teacher/student trope, but this is the first book i’ve read where it was at the high school level. if they’d been in college or grad school it would have been less cringe in my opinion. cressida was really immature. it was hard to fathom that she’d been married for 8 years & was quite a bit older than king. their relationship didn’t seem to be all that positive for either of them honestly. she didn’t treat him well to be so obsessed with him. also, their names? not a fan. i tried to read this a few weeks ago and couldn’t get into it, but came back thinking maybe once the story picked up i’d change my mind, but it never really did it for me. i have no plans to continue the series at this point.
