Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men, #1)

by Giana Darling

I may have loved him from the moment I saw him but he clearly did not feel the same.

She’s whipped and it’s page 2..idk about this

I’d never breathe again if it meant seeing that man with that smile made especially for me.

It’s all very dramatic for them to have never even met

I knew it was the blond king

Also this nickname is very off putting

Then again, what were the odds that I would run into the same man who had radically changed my life three months ago just by being alive, vibrant and beautiful in a way I’d never seen before?

I’m sorry there should be laws against women liking men this much

“I was born to be King,” he said, his voice so full of laughter that I wondered how he could speak past his humor.

Is this a lion king retelling and I missed it???

“That was honest, babe. Don’t worry, I dig it. Besides, you don’t know me yet but soon as you do, you’ll get it, my name and how it fits like a fuckin’ glove.”

And what era are we in??

“Like the feel of you against me.”

Strike 2 for not speaking in complete sentences

“Could do this all night, for sure, but I’d rather have your fine ass on the back of my bike. Let me take you for a ride.”

Ummm this may have to be a dnf

“Lookin’ forward to breakin’ your cherry, babe.”

“Got a lot of hair, babe,” he said. “Ugh, yeah,” I answered. “Looks good.” “Um, thanks,” I murmured, caught up in the warmth of his small grin.

I HATE babe as a pet name and their conversations suck

A man like that would never take advantage of a woman, right?

She’s supposed to be really smart but she’s kind of dumb.

I choked because I was embarrassed but I laughed because he’d just improved on perfection by being funny on top of everything else.

Everything else is just his looks btw 👍🏾

He smirked. “Only addiction I got is to bikes, books and babes.”

He’s so corny 🧍🏾‍♀️ What do I do? I need to know what happens but it’s so bad

“Pretty like a fuckin’ princess but smart like a queen.”

🤢 I wonder when this was written. It’s giving 2010’s

My eyes settled on King again, seeing him throw back his head and laugh that laugh I had fallen in love with in the parking lot, that laugh that had been the final catalyst in my marriage. I barely knew the man, who he worked for, what he believed in, what he desired, and yet he had already irrevocably changed my life.

Scary

“Nah, it’s not. Lucky for you, I also happen to like dorky, sweet librarian types with a hidden wealth of sass.” “Gosh, that was sweet,” I whispered before I could stop myself.

I’m cringing so deeply 🫣

“You’re too much for me,” I whispered through my tightening throat. “I swear, you’ll be bored in a week. I’m no fun.”

INSTA LOVE 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

“Then you know, you find something this sweet, you get it on lockdown. So, if you’re done being an asshole, leave me to doing that, yeah?” Skell jerked up his chin in the universal sign for male respect and walked back into one of the garage bays.

DNF AT 17% I tried but it’s so offensively bad omg
