Amazing

Revisado: 03-31-22

I am speechless. I am breathless. I am wrung dry and yet I am still desperate for more.

Giana Darling delivers one of the most complex and eye opening dives into not just the mafia world, but the female psyche in When Heroes Fall (Book 1 Anti Heroes in love duet).

If you have read the Enslaved Duet and or the Evolution of Sin Trilogy, Elena Lombardi is set up to be the most dislikable female character. So I went in with very low expectations on Elena. I already knew I was going to be madly in love with Dante, but we will get to him. Instead, from chapter one, Elena’s depth, complexity, heartbreak, and loneliness grips you. She is so much more than her cold exterior. Her drive for success and perfection, is rooted so deeply in her past that you will find yourself desperate to be forgiven for your prior prejudice against her.

Dante Salvatore cannot possibly define more male dominance and pure romantic if he tried. This man is everything you could possible want in a male hero (anti hero). He is strong, quick witted, highly intelligent, ruthless, and patient, kind, and understanding there is no other option than to fall. Even-though he harness all the power of the New York City Camorra, he never uses it as a fear tactic against Elena. There is more power in kindness than in fear and Dante defines that.

When Heroes Fall will make you question everything moral and the very foundation of your makeup.

DIRTY DANNER!!!!!!!

Revisado: 03-31-22

I love a man in uniform. But, you take that man and trade the uniform for a cut, holy hell. We originally met Danner in Lessons in Corruption as the hot but young police officer, whose dad the chief was dirty. In the previous books, it was hinted that Harleigh Rose had feelings for the Danner. This is their forbidden tale.

Thorny Rose and her Lion. I thought after reading Welcome to the Darkside, there was no way Giana could beat that story. I was wrong.

The flashbacks of their relationship, coupled with underlying story delivered another home run from Giana and the Fallen Men series.

I wanted to bend to Danner's will, have him reshape me to the imagine he found appealing under his palm.

Leave it to Giana to write a hero like Lion, that compares to no Dom I have ever read in the past.

What I enjoyed the most about this couple was that there was no real angst for them becoming a couple. It was natural, like gravity. All the angst and upheaval came from outside factors.

What I love the most about this series, is that Giana doesn't just write the typical age gap tale. She interweaves all sub genres we as forbidden romance readers love, right along side the age gap (student/teacher, cop/outlaw daughter, good girl/outlaw). Add that to the poetry that is Giana's writing and I am a goner.

The motorcycle romance novel to end all motorcycle romance.

Giana Darling has the uncanny ability to turn the most mundane words into poetry. Welcome to the Dark Side is more than just an age gap story with some biker thrown in. It truly is the pivotal example that love transcends. It over comes age, society norms, social differences and death itself.

“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.”

Zeus and LouLou relationship can be summed with how they meet. In a hail of gunfire outside a church. The shared bullet wound they receive that day will forever link them. LouLou is the granddaughter of a preacher, daughter of the mayor, and a good girl battling cancer, when Zeus the president of an outlaw motorcycle club, nineteen years her senior enters her life, killing the man that shot her.

Giana weaves the development of their relationship overtime through letters, in which Zeus provides LouLou the only form of tenderness and support she has received from adult figures in her life. Totally ignored and neglected from her parents LouLou's love for her guardian monster is unyielding.

At seventeen, LouLou is trying to break free the shackles of her life and finally enjoy whatever life she has left. Zeus reenters the picture after years of ignoring her. We get to see LouLou's feelings develop from childhood superhero fascination to pure womanly devotion. The two of them together is beyond sexy. LouLou as his good little girl and Zeus as her corrupter will set your kindle on fire. I can never look at a lollipop the same. Just saying!

Can the outlaw and the mayor's daughter find their HEA, or at least their version of it? With all the obstacles they have in their way, as the reader you better hold on for the ride.

“With or without me, Loulou Lafayette was going over to the dark side.”

I truly have never encounter more beautiful writing, than this story right here.

Epic Love

Revisado: 02-02-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Giana Darling never does anything the conventional way and Lessons in Corruption is a prime example. Not only does it not follow the standard age gap blueprint of an older guy with a younger girl. But it also completely destroys societal conventions and determinations of right and wrong.

Cress is a newly separated high school teacher that truly has never lived a real life. King on the other hand is a seventeen old high school student that defines living life to the fullest. These two together is perfect match. Cress is a character that you initially don’t know if you even like. But it’s King that reveals her true self through his actions and devotion to her.

The story is pure magic.

Perfection

Revisado: 10-11-21

A Gorgeous Villain was a highly anticipated read from me. Following My Darling Arrow and The Wild Mustang & the Dancing Fairy Novella, I was desperate for Callie and Reed’s story. Every teaser posted, every picture from the inspirational board or song shared had me literally panting and drooling for more. So what happened when I finally got my hands on AGV? Total annihilation of my emotions, senses and capability to function.

Callie (Calliope) lived up to my expectations. She was a kind a beautiful soul. A good girl in love with a very bad boy. Even though Reed does make her go slightly bad, she hangs on to the core goodness of light and fairy she always was. Callie like Salem and the rest of the St. Mary’s girls, is attending the reformed school because of her minor infraction. She only drove his car into the lake because of what Reed did to her. She should not have been punished, but there is more to that story which unfolds at the perfect time.

Now Reed, the angry, broken, unable to love gorgeous creature that he is, knows that he hurt Callie. In fact he has been suffering for his actions for two years. But now because he allowed his control to slip, his fairy is pregnant and he is determined to do everything he can to protect them and provide for them. Did I mention protect? Oh Reed is definitely one overprotective bad boy.

As much as I loved the main character, I loved all the side characters just as much. Callie’s brothers and the St. Mary’s girls are so fascinating and I cannot wait for their stories. You can expect Saffron Kent’s unique style of writing, a quirky, innocent lovable heroine, an alpha hero with a filthy mouth, and a storyline that will sticks with you.

Perfection

Revisado: 10-11-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This novella was the perfect introduction to Callie and Reed. Filled with her unique and unapologetic style of writing, Saffron Kent delivered the perfect amount of back story and character development that sucks you. We get to see the very innocent yet complex relationship development between Callie’s Roman and Reed’s Fae, which only left me joining in on the shedding of tears at the end. After just a few chapters, I found myself with an epic book hangover. I cannot stop thinking of what the future holds for these two.

Not such a bad girl after all!

Revisado: 12-15-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

To say I loved My Darling Arrow, would be putting it mildly. Saffron Kent knows how to write an unbelievable unique story line, with a damaged hero and hella quirky heroine. The narrators were beyond perfect.

Saffron packed so much into this story. You have a little sister in love with her older sisters boyfriend, coach/player relationship, reformed school aka bad girl and a bit of an age gap. So many goodies so little time. All of the various forbidden aspects made the story so deliciously doomed for destruction.

We have Arrow that is so use to being perfect and having everything in his life perfectly balanced (OCD people unite), that when something outside the lines he has crafted occurs he is unable to handle it. Salem on the other hand is everything but put together. A bad girl/anti rule follower. She brings chaos into Arrow’s life and the result of that can only be described as beautiful. The pure utter devotion and love Salem has for Arrow, even though she has ever known him from afar, is so painfully to read to times knowing the debt of her feelings. Watching him finally take notice of her had my tummy clenching with nerves and anxiety, right along side Salem.

I loved having a bit of soccer thrown into the story. Especially getting to see how the drive and passion fueled Arrow and Salem. The reformed school of St. Mary’s made everything feel even more forbidden and against the rules.

Saffron’s crafting of words and characters is unlike anything you will read. I need more from these St. Mary Rebels. And on another note, my lipstick collection is severely lacking.
