About this listen
One hot night with a devastatingly handsome stranger. That's all it was supposed to be. So when my darkly domineering one-night stand turns out to be one of my instructors at Quantico, my life becomes far too complicated. I'm training as an FBI agent, but Jason has other forms of training in mind. Like bending me over his desk for a spanking.
I try to resist him, but soon we're stealing forbidden hours of lust when no one's watching. It could cost us both our careers, but I can't help myself. He's broken, and I want to be his salvation.
In return, he says he wants to protect me, to love me. But can he save me when my new job puts me directly in the path of danger?

The moment I saw her, I wanted her. I just didn't expect to want to keep her. But then she walked away. She should've known better. I'm not the kind of man you turn your back on. I'm ruthless, powerful and unforgiving. Something she'll soon find out. I will own her. Body and soul. Consume her while she begs for it. What started as one night will become forever. And I'll destroy anyone that gets in my way. Drew Matthews is mine.

They say the gods will accept no small sacrifice. To appease them, you must give your all. I’ve sacrificed everything. Lived through loss and learned to love. To take the beauty with the pain. The rose with the thorns. This love story isn’t perfect, but it’s ours. We’ll hold onto it forever. And hope our forever is longer than a day. From the USA Today best-selling authors Stasia Black and Lee Savino comes a story of love, loss, surrender, and rebirth told in three parts, now complete in this trilogy collection.

Twenty years ago in the dead of night, four seemingly random individuals pulled the ultimate heist and almost walked away with half a million dollars. But by daybreak, their plan had been shot to hell. One of them was in the hospital. One was in jail. One was dead. And one got away with it. Arden Maxwell, the daughter of the man who disappeared all those years ago - presumably with the money, after murdering his accomplice - has never reconciled with her father's abandonment of her and her sister.

An Irish mobster. A missing friend. Two loyalties, ripping me apart. I had a plan. Get in, get my information, and get out. Easy, right? Turns out, infiltrating the Irish mafia isn't exactly what I thought it would be. I just wanted a soldier. Someone I could flirt with to get me in the door. That's when Lachlan Crow noticed me. Problem was, he wasn't a soldier. No, he was next in line for the throne of the Irish underworld. And he was determined to hate me from the outset.

On the run from ruthless killers, I take a job at a remote mountain estate tutoring a little boy. It's the ideal shelter from the storm that has engulfed my life, but there is a catch. The boy's father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I've ever met. Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is as magnetic as he is enigmatic. Bruised knuckles and tailored suits, tender endearments and dirty promises—everything about my new employer draws me in, even as my instincts warn that my safe haven just might be the devil's lair. My protector may turn out to be my captor.

I owe my life to a masked killer. He came for me, like an avenging angel of death sent to spare me from pain and humiliation yet teach me the price of salvation. I am bound to him by the blood he spilled for me, but he didn’t save me out of mercy. I don’t think he even knows the word. He wants submission. He wants me by his side. And he wants this city for his own.

Ace Wilde is the darkness that shadows run from and now he has me in his sights. Our bond is inescapable. He says he can teach me how to be fearless, but at what cost? My mind? My soul? My heart? The moment we met I knew I would gladly give away all three for a chance to lie with the devil. If love makes a person go mad, then I accept my diagnosis.

I didn’t know what I was walking into that night. A friend’s birthday, a high-end club, and there he was—a shadow in the corner, all piercing eyes and lethal charisma. I knew Marcus was trouble the moment he looked my way, but something in his gaze was calling me to him, despite the warning etched into every line of his face. He told me to stay away. Told me his world was too dark, that I was too good for him. But even then, I could feel it: a pull that went deeper than reason, tethering me to the danger he carried. Soon, it wasn’t enough to just watch from the sidelines—I wanted ...

Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

Not So Bad
This book was not bad. I liked the story but the narrator woman was so annoying. She was much better as a man. The male narrator was eh...whiny at best. Loved the characters Jason and Natalie. The story saved this.

Spell binding thriller with dynamite M/s Love
I was on the edge of my seat reading this book, so well written. The characters absolutely draw you in. I loved the Dominant Jason, former Army Ranger with PTSD, turned FBI Agent, damaged from childhood by an abusive father which leaves his self-worth at -10. After he spends a single night with Natalie, he finds his inner strength revived, and he will need it to get through the trials to come. Jason's chemistry with Natalie is off the charts as they seem to be made for each other. They need every bit of that to get them through the volatile story line that has them separated for 5 five years, each suffering their own version of hell.
But the HEA is well worth the trip and they will be together forever. I wish there was a scene in which Natalie (who had psych classes/training) could face off with Jason's father and tell him exactly what she thought of his behavior towards his son. I would have made it a Bonus Epilogue segment. Oh well, you can't have everything.

Is it worth a credit? 👍🏻
Yes, but be forewarned...
Dark Lessons is an intense dramatic romance set within the world of an FBI recruit. The story includes some BDSM activity and torture scenes. There are twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting and I was left sitting on the edge of my seat a time or two. Halfway through the story, I wasn’t sure which direction it would take. The main characters are well developed, but some of the minor characters were not. It seems like the ending was rushed and the reader is left on a cliffhanger. I believe the sequel is called Sweet Captivity, but Dark Lessons is not listed as part of the series.

disappointing
The summary sounded like it would be a bdsm book but you also have torture used as programming the two sides just didn't make a seamless book for me I won't be trying another book from this author

A relief when it was over
I am an avid audiobook consumer. Once i had invested some time into this book, I felt I needed at least just see it to the end.... begrudgingly. When it was finally over, I literally said “Oh, thank God!”........

Sexy and Exciting
I had no idea what to expect with Dark Needs by Julia Sykes . I was just going through the list of Wicked Book Weekend authors and seeing which ones had audiobooks available. Since she was the sponsor of our BDSM demonstration, I knew her books were BDSM romance, but that was all I knew.
When I started Dark Lessons, honestly, I was very “meh” about it. It seemed too traditional and almost old fashioned, if that makes sense, for a contemporary. It seemed like everything a traditionally published BDSM book was 6 years ago. It felt predictable; an amazing one night of sex and the handsome stranger turns out to be her instructor for Natalie’s first day at Quantico for FBI training. It also seemed like a beginner BDSM book, explaining the reasoning behind the submission a bit.
"Natalie’s submission was as addictive as the drugs I’d abused. Just as addictive and equally as dangerous."
Jason was an agent who had a bad case that left him with some major PTSD causing him to become an addict. Add to that his abusive father was a high ranking official, and Jason was sent to Quantico to be a trainer until he cleaned up. Meeting Natalie was a complication he didn’t need, but one that brought out all of his dominant and protective instincts.
"She might not need rescuing, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to protect her."
Still, it was a pretty tame book. The sex scenes were very beginner BDSM, and again, I was just feeling meh.
And then HOLY MOLY. Is this the same book?
DANGER. ACTION. SUSPENSE. Holy cow, this book totally turned around! It was almost like two completely different books! It had a dark turn to it, and a lot of twists and turns that were a little tough to follow on audio, but still kept me riveted.
Likes:
•Well written.
•A completely surprising turn.
•The second half kept me riveted and my heart pounding.
•Good sexy times.
•Sometimes there was a well placed funny line that perfectly lightened an intense scene.
•I love a kickbutt heroine.
•The Jason Bourne type turn.
Dislikes:
•The whole 1-night stand ends up being your teacher trope is so freaking overdone.
•The BDSM and romantic relationship felt very BDSM 101. Like this should be your first foray into this genre.
•He was a very gentle dominant and everything and the emotions behind it were explained a little too much.
•The writing and terminology felt like a safe, traditionally published BDSM book from 2011 at first.
•The second half where the suspense began was a little tough to follow.
The Narration:
I enjoyed both narrators. While neither are my hands-down favorite, I really have no complaints either. The voices fit the characters, and I think this story is just as good in audible as it would be if I read it.
The Down & Dirty:
Dark Lessons by Julia Sykes started as a 3 star read for me. There was nothing wrong, it just felt safe and traditional. Then it totally changed on me and I’m so glad I stuck it out through all the crazy twists, turns and excitement. It was like 2 books in one: a traditional beginning BDSM romance and an exciting, suspenseful, military romance. Julia is in the lifestyle in real life, so I liked that the BDSM elements were realistic and informative, but if you have read other well-known authors in the genre, this will feel like BDSM 101. All in all it turned out to be a unique and exciting read.
Rating: 4 Stars, 4.5 Heat, 4 Narration

FBI Endorsed Rape and Torture
While the author is free to concoct a misogynistic tale of rape and torture, she should know that most law enforcement professionals arrest sexual predators, not endorse their violent and degrading attitude toward women.
Unfortunately FBI trainer Jason was a sadistic sociopath without morals, compassion or human kindness, who preyed on stupid, naïve women like Natalie. Jason's rationale for emotionally and physically abusing women was irrational and evil, making the story sad and depressing, rather than romantic or entertaining.
Since the author has considerable talent, she could create strong, caring male characters who actually like and respect women as well as female characters who expect to be adored and loved.
