Fallen Men #8
Asking for Trouble
An MC romance about a girl hiding from her past and the biker who becomes her unlikely saviour…
When four thugs show up at Evergreen Gas Station with cocked shotguns and masked faces, it could have ended in the worst night of my life.
Instead, a gorgeous mystery man in leather, silver, and too many tattoos strolls into the middle of the robbery and becomes my unlikely saviour with a tarnished halo.
Only, what seemed like a random hold-up at first turns into something far more complicated and Aaron Clare isn’t the type of man to leave a woman in distress. Despite my vow not get into trouble again, I find myself following the man dubbed ‘Boner’ into a night of danger and delicious debauchery with long-reaching consequences.
*A standalone in The Fallen Men Series.*

I had no idea I would become this obsessed with a hero named Boner, but here we are 😂
If you're a fan of the "man obsessed" trope, you will LOVE this book. Boner is so gone for Blue the moment they meet and he is obsessed for the rest of the book. Blue has a past she's running from and is off limits, but Boner doesn't let that stop him from wanting her and giving her the world. This is definitely a forbidden romance and I loved how it was so angsty because you really had to question if there was any plausible way they could be together. Boner fell so fast and hard, but Blue was more protective of her emotions because what she had gone through in life. Their connection was everything and I was determined to see them have their HEA by the end!
As a Fallen Men book, we get the found family we all know and love. We get to see so many of the beloved Fallen characters and I just loved how supportive of Boner they were. And we got to see some other characters that have been in the background for awhile, like Curtains and Eugene, and I loved seeing them some more.
Asking for Trouble was just sweepingly romantic with some amazingggggg spice. The connection between Blue and Boner was intense from the start and I was just obsessed with them.
Even if you haven't started this series yet, you have to pick up this book. No one writes MC like Giana!!

A 'Fallen' book is always a good time and this one was no exception! I loved this couple together and I can't wait to read the next book (and see who it's about :D)

2.5☆ DNF 48% Strong start but the momentum stalled out on me 🏍️ 🫤
At first I really liked the Bonnie & Clyde vibes I was getting, and a scrappy girl on the run is a fave trope of mine. But that dynamic was interrupted too early, and I started getting bored and finding the MCs a little passive. Beyond the sudden bonding of that first crisis scene at the gas station, I just didn’t quite believe the continued insta-infatuation between Aaron and Blue, and ultimately lost interest.
I liked Aaron’s personality a lot, but the “‘n” (fightin’ and laughin’) is a little overdone and gets distracting. Certain things about Blue were refreshing, and I was so saddened by the pointless abuse she suffered. But her internal monologue about absolutely staying away from criminals (except Aaron is so hotttt so nevermind) and how her “softer” “chubby” body type leads to poor treatment by others, became repetitive without a clear purpose or progression. I just didn’t feel that invested in the plot by the middle. 😬 Could be it gets a lot better in the second half, but I’m not feeling patient enough to find out. 🤷🏻♀️

I knew I would like this book from the start. But I didn't expect for it to end up being so wholesome🥹 Blue and Boner were EVERYTHING and I absolutely love how Aaron was devoted to Blue and how he never gave up and kept pursuing her. He's def one of my top Fallen men and it's safe to say that I've fallen head over heels for him🤍🫶🏾 Can't wait to see what the next book has in store for us!!!
safety squad:
- no OW drama
- slight OM drama (h is married to the VP of her father's club. it was a forced marriage and she was married off when she was 16. she eventually divorces him. Her ex bf fucked her over but doesn't really cause much drama.)
- no cheating/sharing
- insta love
- H casually dated and fucked around before meeting the h but had never been in love before (I assumed, based on the previous books, that the H was a manhoe but now I can't remember. In this book, it was mentioned that he never dated seriously and had a "rotation" of women over the years or something like that. Dunno if that means he was a hoe or not idk🤷🏻♀️)
- obsessed hero (H pursues the h eventhough she tries to discourage him and pushes him away)
- curvy girl rep
- MC romance
- found family
- condoms then no condoms
- H has a jacob's ladder piercing
- no virgins
- dirty talk + praise kink
- mentions of abuse, violence, physical assault, child marriage, etc so don't forget to check the TWs!
- HEA

DNF at 70%.
After receiving an ARC copy from the author and reading the synopsis, I was super excited to dive into this book. A motorcycle club and a tattooed MMC? Count me in! Even though I knew it was the seventh book in the series, I was told it could be read as a standalone, so I decided to give it a try.
However, I soon realized it’s best to read the series in order. I felt lost most of the time; there were too many characters, all new to me, which made it hard to connect with the story. While the writing was fine, the dialogue felt awkward, which made me feel even more disconnected.
I’m also not a fan of insta-love, and this book had plenty of it. The first meeting between the characters at the gas station was great, but everything moved too quickly afterward. They went from a random kiss to being in love almost instantly. Although their chemistry was obvious, a slower development would have made their relationship more believable.
Maybe if I had read the series in order, I would have enjoyed this book more. Overall, this was a soft DNF for me.

First thing I want to say is Bones is an amazing character and man. He gets 5⭐️ and all the ❤️ in the world. But I wish the author chose a different way to present his speech pattern because that shit was not fun to read and gave me a headache.
Normally I do not have trouble with rating the books that I read but I am really struggling after finishing this one and I cannot decide whether I hate it or not. What I have made my mind up about is that this was way darker than I like reading and Blue, the FMC was an idiot.
I am not all about sappy books, I love romances where the main characters are psychos, stalkers, obsessed, serial killers, bikers, monsters, mafia, deadly, scarred, damaged, bat shit crazy, you name it but I do NOT like reading about sexual assault, pedophiles, crimes against children, and torture and disfigurement when it happens to either of the main characters. That shit happening to the people in books who deserve it?... I am here for it and the darker the better.
Firstly, I am going to CLEARLY lay out the trigger warnings for this book for anyone who is considering it. I searched through the reviews to see if I should have read this and would have loved to have had this information beforehand.
Blue's father is the leader of a 1% MC. Blue has been starved to emaciation and abused her whole life and because of her emaciated look, that was the only reason she had not been repeatedly raped by the club members as a child. He forcefully married his 16 year old daughter to his VP as his prize to keep him from trying to take over.
Blue was married to this guy for 18 months before she escaped and during her "marriage" she was subjected to all the disgusting sexual abuse you can think of even though it was not described on page, it was implied. Including being dragged down the hall by her hair by her new "husband" when she was 16 so he could then start raping her and using her in every digusting and horrific way he could think of while she was kicking and screaming and begging for someone to help her. Gotta love being married to a pedophilic rapist 🤮
Blue's father and "husband" would often beat her so badly that she could not move for weeks at a time.
Blue's "husband" hit her in the face until she fell to the clubhouse floor where he proceeded to grind her hand between said floor and his boots until he broke three of her fingers and she passed out from pain. She then wakes up to being tied up in a bathtub where he then proceeds to slice her face open from her ear all the way down to her mouth so that she is no longer "pretty" and no one will want her besides him.
There is copious amounts of fat shaming, women are nothing but whores who belong on their knees, and multiple different people attempt to sexually assault her.
So, now onto why Blue pissed me off. She ran away at 17 and is now 25. She has been working at a gas station owned by a kind man named Grouch for all this time, when her past catches up with her. Of course, our MMC Bones is there to rescue her and take her back to his MC clubhouse where she can see and feel that this is family and not like her own father's disgusting club. At this point, she knows that her father is back and looking to reclaim his property (her) by any means necessary, including going after Grouch. Also at this point, Bones has told her how he feels about her, and begged her to stay with him. She admits that he is sweet, charming, she's safe with him, has sex with him and knows his club will help and protect her. She also learns that they already had a beef and serious bad blood with her father's club that has nothing to do with her. What does she do? Instead of staying with Bones and the club and asking for help to keep Grouch safe, she leaves with no word in the middle of the night and willingly goes back to her dad.... who proceeds to beat her so badly for her running away that it takes her weeks to heal. Then, a few weeks later, Bones and his club figure out the bar she is working at and they go in all the time to keep an eye on her and she NEVER leaves with them, even though Bones continuously says that he will keep her safe. She just says that her father and husband are too evil and will kill him and everyone in the club if she goes with them and loving her is not worth causing them that pain. Hey, news flash they are already at war with each other and you don't need to stay! She literally chose to stay with her lifelong abuser and rapist because she needed to "protect" Bones. *Eye Roll* the guy is a seriously dangerous and badass biker who does not need your protection.
This story is just a huge no and I will not be reading book 9 or any of the others. This author really likes to write about the FMCs all going through really disgusting and horrible shit, no thank you.
I need a shower after reading this. Now excuse me while I go find a book that leaves me feeling happy and not sad and dirty.

4.5 stars - Didn’t know I needed Boner’s story until now! The love he had for Blue, and the lengths they went to protect each other, had me eating their book up. Blue’s past has made her hesitant to Boner and the type of loyalty and family that comes with him and the Fallen MC. No matter how bad things got, or how scared Blue was, Boner never gave up because he knew deep down that their love could be forever if she let it.
The MC action in this one was good as always! The author has been weaving a storyline throughout most of the books that seems to grow in intricacy, especially after this book. Both old and new enemies have arisen, and I can’t wait to see how it plays out in the next book!
The Fallen MC is an addictive series, and I enjoyed catching up with the other couples!
Also - the author was absolutely correct in saying we’ve met the heroine before, and I love how sneakily she wove that aspect into Asking for Trouble!

Ahh what a joy it was to be back in Entrance with The Fallen. It felt like coming home and this was honestly Giana at her best. I absolutely devoured this book, such an amazing addition to The Fallen family.
This book was Insta love done well and properly. Our man Boner fell hard, fast and at first sight. He knew what he wanted and I loved that he wasn’t afraid to let Blue know. Man was such a sweetheart, had such a way with words and you could tell he meant them! I also absolutely adored his relationship with Zeus and Curtains, BFFS!
The connection between Blue and Boner was absolutely soul deep; they were so perfect for each other. Their banter and their chemistry was absolutely fire - WOW! Giana knows how to write spice; Boner and Blue delivered!!
I love all Giana’s characters; they are all so loveable and admirable. Blue had absolutely been THROUGH IT and her strength was just incredible. She had been through so much and her spirit was bought back to life by Boner.
I could have read 500 more pages of Bones and Blue; they were everything I love about Entrance, The Fallen and their Old Ladies. I loved seeing the wee glimpses of the other Fallen men and women without taking away from Bones and Blue’s impeccable story. This was full of love, loyalty and family and I’m so excited to see what’s next!

5 'Bone deep' Stars!
ARC provided via Valentine PR in exchange for an honest review.
Oh, it feels good to be back in Entrance! If you are a fan of MC romance, The Fallen Men series from Giana Darling is a must-read. It feels like home every time I catch up with this amazing crew of characters and you can imagine my excitement when Giana announced a novella was coming. And my enthusiasm grew even more when I was lucky enough to receive the advanced copy (my first from Giana!!!) and I had the pleasure to read it this past weekend. Of course, you are in for a treat with this one and I am not even surprised that the woman did it again. Get ready to fall even more with The Fallen!
So, Asking for Trouble is the newest “not-that-short” story in The Fallen Men series and it’s all about Aaron ‘Boner’ Clare and his blue-haired, blue-eyed girl. After Aaron saves Blue from an attack at her workplace, the man cannot stop thinking about her and he is more than decided to explore their unexpected connection. But Blue has secrets, complicated ones that will not only affect their new relationship but also the club. Are the danger and obstacles worth the love growing between these two? You’ll have to read this gripping novella to find out!
“I knew the moment I saw you that you were trouble.”
“The best kind,” I agreed. “What’s reward without a little risk?”
When it comes to motorcycle club romance, I always know Giana Darling will deliver. Her Fallen Men series has been a top favorite of mine ever since I read the first book, and she continues kicking ass after seven installments. If you enjoy troupes like forbidden love, boy falls hard and first, “who hurt you” and found family, you cannot miss reading Asking for Trouble. You’ll adore Boner and Blue together, their forbidden chemistry, the steam, the suspense and the interactions with their friends and family. It just feels good to be surrounded by these guys and also getting a new and wonderful love story. As always, it’s not hearts and flowers for this couple, but it’s definitely worth it in the end.
I wanted to own her blood and bones and be owned that way in return.
Therefore, I am rating Asking for Trouble with 5 STARS because I loved getting to know more about Boner and seeing him fall head over heels in love with Blue. Their connection is instant but just so beautiful to read how it develops. I am always happy to be back with this crew, to get new stories and to catch up with the rest of couples. This novella was definitely a delicious treat for fans of the series and I can’t wait to see what is coming next year with the eight novel. If you love Giana and this MC series, don’t miss Aaron and Blue’s love story!

If you love Giana and this MC series, don’t miss Aaron and Blue’s love story!

4.5 starts
OH MY GOD!! My first Giana Darling book :') (and don't judge me for reading this series out of order ok...) Also, maybe my first motorcycle romance ever?? (maybe my 2nd idk)
WOW. Oh, wow. This book hooked me right from the freaking start!! There was something so special about the connection between Blue & Aaron (Boner) right off the bat, like I could feel it through the pages. They were the truest of souls meant to find one another. And boy were they electric. AND SO DANG HOT!! Aaron is sooooo swoony. Talk about a man who is skilled in every love language. He was perfect. Blue was so cute & the strongest lil baddie there ever was.
The storyline had me so intrigued and on the edge of my seat, I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. My heart went out to Blue because this poor girl went through some of the worst shit imaginable. Her dad is a freaking dick & and her arranged husband...lord. Growing up in an environment as shitty as hers (her dad being the leader of a MC and not a good group of guys like the Fallen Men) she deserved the freaking world!!
I AM A FAN!!! Guess I need to go back and read the rest heheheheh

I’m really struggling with the rating. May change.
Again no hate to Giana please don’t tag her to share with her.
The use of “a” at the end of words is getting ridiculous and as someone with dyslexia it’s getting harder to read these books. Especially at the beginning I really struggled with being able to read and comprehend what he was saying. Normally that’s not a problem but in this book it seems to be upped 100% at the beginning.
I got to about 40% and struggled to pick it back up as I was getting bored and everything just felt repetitive. I was really enjoying it up till that point. Like we had so many endless monologues to the main heroine about how the MMC was a good guy and the club is good. That it got frustrating.
I like that we had creativity with the FMC and the book kinda gave off Romeo and Juliet vibes. The FMC felt more dynamic and that her back story was really thought about and planned.
It’s was definitely better than CTTW.
This series is no longer stand-alone. You have to read every novel to understand the next and understand who is who and their impact. To!!!! wayyyyyyy!!!!! Tooooo!!!!! many characters. I think some need killing off and staying dead cause that’s a thing in this book. Characters never staying dead. Or just leave them out. This needs streamlining, like I was just getting so overwhelmed with the amount of characters and there was so many voices that I just struggled to even comprehendible what was going on sometimes because there was so many voices and its turned into an ensemble. I struggled to really invest in the relationship between blue and boner. She needs to take it back to when it was just a few characters who were around the couple and even then some of them don’t need to be included.
We need to go back to book 1 fallen vibes so I can get my love back for the series.
Please triggers for this book, child bride/ forced marriage (off page), abuse (off page), sexual harassment. Please add more in the comments.

Asking for Trouble is the newest book in the Fallen Men series, a MC series I’ve loved for years! This one is on the shorter side, well shorter for a Giana book so it’s just over 300 pages. This gives all the MC, found family, he falls HARD energy.
“All my life, I’ve fought to find beauty in the chaos, to be happy even, and especially, in the hard times ’cause if I waited for the good, I’d be sad most’a the time. I didn’t even realize how lonely I still was ’til I saw your colour blue and knew I needed it brightenin’ my life.”
His neon art, electric blue hair, piercings, neon signs, he’s a man obsessed and wants to make her his from the start, complications and history, the Fallen Men family, the “I’d burn the world down for you” energy, electric love! Giana’s found family always hits so well and I love any extra time with the Fallen Men family. Boner and Blue were perfect for one another, he falls so hard, which was fun to see. Giana’s writing is always so quote-worthy and I loved so many moments in this one!
“Feel like I was born with your name written on my bones, and I was just waitin’ to find ya.”
“The kinda love I got for you is electric. It lights up my soul and vibrates my bones.”

Listen I liked the couple. It was an enjoyable read but compared to the other ones it was missing something. I didn’t love how the end said that Rooster and Hazard caused more issues that were bad for the club and we didn’t see it. It talked about grief which makes me think someone died. Unless it’s someone who betrayed them bc I think they were speculating if there was an inside man. But also how could there have been if Blue got away with her affair for so long. Her life was absolutely horrible with her father and how dare he give her away at 16. The abuse was despicable. Do was what hazard did to her by breaking her hand and carving into her face. I honestly enjoyed the book until the end. I wish we saw the aftermath of that. The epilogue skipped over everything and almost made the plot pointless. The only thing I can think of is that we’ll see more in the next book… hopefully? ALSO why didn’t we get to see Curtains and Boner make up aside from him looking out for them at the farm. Which was to be expected but that felt unresolved too. Or seeing Curtains and Blue interact AT ALL. OR how about seeing her interact with the other women more. It focused on the relationship a lot, which wasn’t bad but I wanted to see more of the fallen men and more of the plot of the White Raiders and what happened after they got Blue out. It felt incomplete honestly.

4.5 stars!
Spectacular. Gimme 14 of them right now.
I will never pass up an opportunity to visit the Fallen MC in Entrance and I will never not love these characters 'bone deep'.
Truly, the connections between the characters in this series are what dreams are made of.
Not even just the romantic connections and relationships, like with Blue and Boner, which are absolutely phenomenal, but also between the brotherhood of the Fallen MC members and the sisterhood of their Old Ladies. Every single one of them has a genuine, soul deep respect and love for each other that shines blindingly from all of their interactions, and it's one of the best examples of a 'found family' trope that I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
I would die happy if I ever felt even an ounce of that for myself.

I love the fallen universe so much, I missed being in it😭
Asking For Trouble was an amazing edition to the series. It follows Boner “Aaron”, and Faith “Blue” on their journey to love and WOWWW did I love!!! Aaron is a softy at heart, like almost on Kings level, down to basically falling in love at first sight. I loved to see it. Blue was a little slower to fall, for good reason, and she’s so strong I admired her character so so much.
Giana knows how to craft the perfect book for me. The perfect amount of romance/action/plot through every book of hers that I’ve read. If she has no fans I no longer exists!!! I’m feral for the next books now!!
Bones and Blue forever💙

I LOVED this addition to the Fallen Men series! Blue and Aaron have so much chemistry right from the start. Blue is a girl who has had trouble following her for a long time, and Aaron is convinced he can save her and make their relationship work. The writing was fantastic, and the story was fast-paced with lots of action. I loved their chemistry, how he was all in right from the start, and that there was no third act breakup. This story was slightly shorter than Giana's usual, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a novella. I can't wait to see who is up next in the Fallen Men world!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Giana and her books. I have loved and have been obsessed with her books for years now and with each release I fall even more in love with her incredible talent and ability to bring a story to life even though I know I shouldn’t, but can’t help it… that her ability to make you fall in to love morally grey characters.
You’ll enjoy this book if you like these tropes… ♡
♡ Who Hurt You
♡ MC Romance
♡ He Falls First
♡ He Falls Hard
♡ Touch Her & Die Vibes
♡ Found Family
♡ Strong & Resilient FMC
♡ Rival MC’s
♡ Healing
♡ Spicy Hot!
♡ Forbidden Love
Aaron has stolen my heart. I think he just became my favourite out of all the Fallen Men. He took me by surprise. I wasn’t expecting him to be the way he was. He was sweet, loving and devoted to Blue and it had me swooning! However, he’s normally known to be a playful, sarcastic, cocky clown around the MC members. Which you can tell is a coping mechanism and a way to deal with his past trauma, a reflex in a way, to try and avoid dealing with it but deep down there is so much more to him. His trauma has shaped him into the person he is however, if you are a close friend/family to him, you’ll go to war for you. Family and found family included is everything.
Blue was beautiful. She keeps her circle small and only trusts a selected few, but when she loves, she loves HARD. She will do everything she can to help those she loves. She struggles with her self-worth and thinks that she’s morning but trouble and a burden to all which broke my heart because she is anything but that. She went through so much and to have to go through even more trauma… my heart hurt for her.
I think Aaron is her Blue’s person and they are truly meant to be. It was made evident from the beginning. Their chemistry between the two of them is undeniable, the attraction is undeniable and the banter they have was top-tier and had me laughing in parts of the book.
This book and these characters; series and book have had me in a chokehold. I was not ready for this. AT ALL! But I’m not complaining.
Overall this book was an incredible read! It was extremely well written, fast-paced thrilling and addictive. It ticked all the right boxes for me when it comes to MC romance! It was fucking amazing and I expected nothing less from Giana Darling!!
5 STARS!

Is it worth reading? If you like the rest of the series, yes. It is not a standalone though, you would likely be very confused if you started with this.
This book could have used some additional editing in my opinion. Also think the use of "a" at the end of words instead of "of" is getting ridiculous, I checked earlier books and it really has skyrocketed to a whole new level that quite frankly grinds my gears to no end.
Also don't know if this is a long novella, 7.5, or an official book in the series, number 8. Apparently neither does the author as in the end of the book, the next book is referenced as both #8 and #9....
Also have to mention that the delays on every book by this author makes me want to not read them. I get that things happen, but it has now been every book for about 3 years I think. Stop putting dates on releases when you can't keep them, write the book first and announce it a week or two before or something. Or maybe you can release a book despite a cold? Yes, I'm petty!

A forbidden MC romance, this novella is definitely building up to something bigger with me questioning WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT BOOK 👀🤯
“𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲.”
“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱.”
“𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸.”
Blue has been on the run from her past for 8 years, it catches up to her when she is working her shift at a service station. But before the events unfold our MMC Aaron enters and their chemistry from the start as Blue says “He’s my type to a T.”
Blue and Aaron get caught up in a “robbery” which later gets explained as they are on the run, Aaron definitely falls first for our girl Blue, puppy dog eyes for sure 🥹😍

Blue always fended for herself in life. When a stunner of a man covered in tattoos walks into the gas station she’s working at things will definitely get interesting after. Aaron “Boner” is part of the Fallen MC. He can’t get the blue haired girl he helped that one night out of his head. Can he keep her safe even when her past comes back to make things complex? Oh boy, this is one fast paced and steamy MC romance. Boner is definitely a sweet talker and I loved every minute of him! He also might be pierced!!!!! ;) Don’t worry there is still plenty of action with the Fallen MC involved. Please check any TW’s as this is a dark romance that goes into a difficult topic for some. Told in first person And Dual POV.

I absolutely loved Boner and Blue so much! The way they fell in love and how protective they became for one another was everything. Their chemistry and attraction to each other was so damn good. I couldn’t put this book down. I love all these characters and it felt so good to be back in The Fallen Men world once again.

i never want to leave the fallen men universe i love them so much.
this one was so cute, definitely a bit faster paced compared to some of the other books in the series but that being said the plot and relationship was still amazing.
blue and boner have an instant connection and i love seeing them fight for each other regardless of the consequences. you can tell how in love boner is right away and all his neon signs had me swooning so hard!! like always the girl squad welcomes blue with open arms and she finally understands what it feels like to have a family that loves and respects you!!
i’m so sad i’m caught up on this series because i just love them and could live in the fallen men universe

“Bone deep blue, Forever.”
This was my first Giana Darling book and trust me when I say I will be going back to read the others because WHO KNEW MOTORCYCLE CLUB ROMANCES can be SO HOT.
For how tough Aaron is portrayed this guy was romantic AF.
I’m talking he makes neon signs for her and leaves them all over town where he knows she will be, lets her give him a manicure🫠 and literally takes every opportunity to tell her how beautiful she is to keep her self consciousness at bay.
“I licked it so its mine” is a sign I want for myself now🤣
Tropes I went feral for:

🏍️ Found Family

🏍️ Dual POV
🏍️ “Eyes on me”
🏍️ Spicy (🌶️🌶️🌶️)
🏍️ Forbidden Romance
🏍️ Burn the world down for her
Although this is a series, I read this as a standalone and really didn’t feel like I missed much! I think it will absolutely enhance the experience if I knew the other characters so I will be *running* to know the other part of the gangs stories.
This was action packed, fast paced and the characters will be engraved into you, bone deep. As angsty as it is emotional, I love a happy ever after that was worked blood, sweat, tattoo’s, blue hair and tears for. My first but absolutely not my last read from this author. I will be thinking of this book for months to come.

Boner and Blue were so sweet! Soulmates through and through.
Boner is so sure of his love for Blue, you can’t help but feel it yourself when reading the pages.
This series is one of my favorites of all time, and reading it is like coming home!! Giana writes so poetically, it’s always so special to read her books.
An amazing book from a must read series! I can’t believe I’m saying I was missing the length of the earlier fallen men books 🤣 I felt like I was missing parts of a much more complex story in this one(and it hasn’t been long since my reread), so it definitely is not a standalone and should be read in order in the Fallen Men series!
God start with King and falllllll so deeply in love with all these men like so many else have 💙

I can’t believe I’m saying I was missing the length of the earlier fallen men books 🤣 I felt like I was missing parts of a much more complex story in this one(and it hasn’t been long since my reread), so it definitely is not a standalone and should be read in order in the Fallen Men series!
God start with King and falllllll so deeply in love with all these men like so many else have 💙
