Lessons In Corruption by Giana Darling

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


You know you’re in in the hands of a masterful storyteller when you open a Giana Darling novel. You know you’re going to have your morals tested, your expectations challenged, and your heart ripped out of your chest. Her latest taboo romance, Lessons in Corruption, is no exception. And thank God for that.

King Kyle Garro. I know, right? The name itself is an orgasm personified. But prepare yourself, there’s more:
• Alpha? Check.
• Gorgeous? Check.
• Loyal? Check.
• Biker? Check.
• Poet? Check.
Wait, what? An alpha biker who not only writes poetry but reads it aloud for the sole purpose of claiming his woman?
Thump.
That’s the sound of panties hitting the floor worldwide. There’s going to be a global epidemic, you mark my words. There will be chaos and anarchy as more and more readers swoon over the perfection which is King.

You have been warned.

Cressida Irons. We’ve all got some Cress inside us. She’s that voice which questions if you’re good enough, that thought which worries about what others think, that inherent belief there is more to life yet is too terrified of change. Thank heavens she morphs into Queenie. Sassy, independent and fearless Queenie. The literary world needs more characters like her.

Now, I could get hung up on the taboo aspect of a teacher hooking up with her student. I could go on and on about the impropriety of it all, blah, blah, blah. But I won’t. Firstly, this is a work of fiction and should never be confused with fact. Secondly, there is so much more to this novel than the teacher/student trope. And thirdly, it is so well written you will cheer for the MC’s while they search for their happily ever after regardless.

I was blown away by this book. I lived and breathed the characters, I fought their demons as though they were my own. Hell, I lost track of minutes, hours and days because I was so engrossed in this story. I. Never. Wanted. The. Book. To. End.

Such is the mastery of Giana Darling.
