They say one action doesn’t define you.  I killed a man. Stabbed him in the neck and licked the blood off my lips after I did it. 

Still, one action doesn’t define you. 

I could have called anyone. My father, the Prez of The Fallen MC, our family lawyer, my best friend, Lila, or my brother, King. 

I didn’t. 

Instead, I called Lionel Danner, the police officer renowned for taking down the Nightstalkers MC. The man who had been my father’s arch nemesis for decades. The man who hated everything I stood for. A man who had disappeared from my life without explanation three years ago. 

I called him. 

And maybe one action doesn’t define you, but killing a bad man and calling in the good changed my life and it sure as hell changed his. 

The third book in the Fallen Men Series. A standalone featuring Harleigh Rose and Officer Lionel Danner.

I am loving this series, and I have to say we are so looking forward to Harleigh Rose's story as she has always been a favorite character that we were drawn to, as she was a train wreck waiting to happen. I loved this story from beginning to end. The story had me engrossed from the very first pages and kept me on edge the entire time. The story never had a dull moment and was filled with tons of drama, surprises, and more than a few OMG moments! I have to say that the story surprised me at every turn, which we heartily appreciated! I always knew that Harleigh and Lion played a bit of a cat-and-mouse game together, but I never knew how deeply connected they were to one another until this current story. I loved getting to know more about Harleigh Rose as well as Lionel Danner, aka Lion. I normally don't like the flashing back and forth aspect in these ongoing stories, but in this story, the author integrated past and present events in sync with all the drama going on in this current story at the perfect time and gave us insight into King and Harleigh's connection to Lion and the bond they all forged together and how it all played a part in this ongoing current story. OMG! This story was hotter than hot! The chemistry between these two was explosive. This couple's sexual encounters are super hot, intense, and full of surprises, as they had me fanning myself more than a few times! LOL I always pick a favorite character, and this time around, I have to pick Lionel, aka Lion. Why? OMG! Because he surprised us at every turn. Officer Danner was far from the goody two-shoes we thought him to be, he was anything but! LOL I have to say we never saw Lion coming. Lion's character surprised me the most. I had been wondering if Lion had always been a bad boy under all the righteous armor and kept it hidden, or if all his undercover work brought out the bad boy side that had always been lurking there to make its appearance. Still pondering. LOL Harleigh Rose, we loved her. We loved her spunk, strength, and determination, found she had a sense of humor, was feisty, and was self-sacrificing when it came to those she loved. Overall, I loved the story and could not put it down once I started reading it. The story kept me on edge the entire time, as well as kept me guessing at what would happen next, as the story had drama after drama happening all around Harleigh Rose and Lion, and whether someone was going to uncover all those secrets they wanted to keep buried. The romance between these two was super hot, and their sexual encounters even hotter, which made the read even more scorching, intriguing, and entertaining. Most of all, the story was just an awesome read! This story and the stories before it all had an amazing cast of characters for us to love as well as hate. For me, this one goes into the keeper pile to be read time and time again. This author is one of my favorite MC authors and favorite book series. We are so glad we found your books to read, as they have brought us nothing but pure enjoyment. Hoping this author continues to write more MC reads for us to read as well as enjoy. #MCseries #HarleighRose

5 amazing stars from us

Author Lee Piper - “So yeah, Good Gone Bad is hot AF. But it’s also more than that. It’s layered, multifaceted, and above all, beautifully written.”

Musings of the Modern Belle - “Good Gone Bad is not just a super steamy romance, it is not just a suspenseful story about taking down a corrupt MC, it is a reflection of how humans aren’t just good or bad. It is a look at how we are both, how we can find our match in another, someone who just inherently gets you. It is about living wild and free while still having limits and being able to surrender and submit for those you love. It is an epic ride I implore you to take. Giana and Danner and Rosie won’t let you down.”

Author R. Scarlett - “I am so so in love with this book and Giana's talent for creating addicting stories and beautiful complex characters.”

Let's start by saying that this was a new author for us, and we loved our first read by them from beginning to end. The cast of characters includes Maja, Buck, Mute, King, H.R. (Harleigh Rose), Louise aka Lou, LouLou, Foxy, Blackjack, Reese, Zeus aka Guardian Monster, Ruby, Cricket, Cressida aka Queenie, Nova, Bat Crux, Ace, Lionel Danners, Axeman, Boner, Mr. Warren, Bea, Javier, Benjamin, Sammy, Cy, Lab-Rat, Curtains, Priest, Boner, Hannah, Cleo, Tayline, and Phillipa. The entire cast made this story. Wow! What a great story from beginning to end. I don't know where to start, as there were so many things I loved about the story. The characters were amazing, especially Lou and Zeus and their love story. This is a new author for me, and after reading this story, I can tell she is going to be one of my top favorite new authors if she continues to write stories like this one I didn't realize this was an MC Romance when I started reading, but it turned out to be a hot and amazing read. The story had drama, suspense, heartache, pain, suffering, death, obstacles, major health issues, betrayals, and more. It kept me glued to the pages the entire time. The unusual storyline made it intriguing from the start. Zeus, a hardened biker, saves the life of a little girl, Lou, who becomes his pen pal, best friend, savior, and soul mate. Lou and Zeus developed a bond of friendship from the moment he saved her life when she was only 7 years old. Lou always referred to him as her guardian monster, a fitting nickname that showed her love for him. Their friendship lasted into Lou's teenage years. The letters they exchanged were heartwarming and showed the connection between them. Lou's character stood out to me the most. She was brave, kind, smart, determined, feisty, and had a great sense of humor. Her rebel side and outgoing personality made her a compelling character. Lou and Zeus's love story was intense, heartfelt, and based on true love and destiny. Despite the age gap, their blind devotion and love for each other overcame all obstacles. Their romance was passionate and steamy, adding to the depth of their relationship. Zeus was a complex character with both good and bad sides. He was dangerous, sexy, dark, lethal, protective, and possessively intimidating; he was loyal and capable of deep love. The unpredictability of the story kept me on edge, laughing, and crying. The forbidden love story of Lou and Zeus was captivating, showcasing the power of true love and soulmates. The author has gained a new fan in me, and I immediately delved into the first book of the series. The addictive nature of the author's Books keeps me hooked. I give this story 5 amazing stars and hope for more in this series. #MCRomance #ForbiddenLoveStory
