About this listen

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes an age gap, friends to enemies to lovers romance about a rebel soul and her best friend's dad who wants absolutely nothing to do with her...

I fell in love with my best friend's dad when I was seventeen.
He seemed like some kind of heathen god, big enough to kill a man with his bare hands, tattooed with bright, bold images, and weathered by time and a short stint in prison.
Blind to the consequences, I made a mistake that ran him out of town and ruined his life.
Now, he's back after all these years––hating me more than the day he left.
What he doesn't know is that I've been working to atone for my sins.
I've infiltrated the Vancouver triad that killed his wife.
Always my protector, he decides it's not safe for me to be in this alone, so he resolves to get me out of the Triad and out of his hair for good.

*A stand-alone novel in The Fallen Men Series.*

Intense

This is my first book in the Fallen Men series. It can be read/listened to as a standalone. But I feel I would’ve gotten more out of it had I read the previous six books, or at least one or two before hand. I enjoyed listening to Scott Rose’s narration, and it held me intrigued. The story was filled with violence & sorrow, tragedy, but also family, found and needed, and love. There was a lot going on, and it was quite intense. Cindy Kay also did a great job. I’ll be going back to start from the beginning

Had me completely captivated and consumed

Mei and Axe-Man's incredible and intense story is going to squeeze your heart mercilessly while it keeps you clinging to the edge of your seat. Wow, what a journey this book takes you on. From euphoric highs to soul crushing lows and from a fierce, fiery frenzy to sweet, soft, soul touching moments, this romance packs a powerful punch that hits you with ALL.THE. FEELS! Darkness, action, suspense, drama, mystery, angst, raw emotions, twists, heart, and flaming hot steam combine into a tantalizing and sinfully seductive blend that is simply irresistible and trust me, you won't even be tempted to try. I thought the narrators gave excellent performances, and that their voices fit the characters beautifully. This made listening easy and a true pleasure.

Captivating

I was captivated by Mae, the formidable heroine who exudes wisdom beyond her years. Cindy Kay's portrayal of Mae was a perfect match. Although initially unsure about Scott Rose's voice for Axeman, I found his narration increasingly compelling as the story unfolded. Scott's talent as a narrator shone through, leaving me thoroughly impressed with his performance

XOXO Lottie.

great listen

The audio for this book was great. I loved the narrators and they did a great job. The story was not my favorite for this series and the characters just were not very likeable. I would recommend it though.

Fallen Men

This series is everything!! I have never consumed books this quickly! I think I preferred listening to these over traditional reading as it truly brought all of the characters to life! This entire series is a Chef's kiss!

Absolutely Loved It

This is the story of Mei and Axe-Man. But before he was Axe-Man he had a life and was just Henning. Husband of Kate, stepdad to Cleo and an added bonus of her best friend Mei because she is with their family more than she is with her own. When the girls are young something horrible happens at a carnival and Mei almost loses her life but vows revenge from that day forward. At the age of seventeen she is being reckless but still hanging out with Axe and Cleo. Until it all fell apart. Now a lot of time has past and one phone call from Cleo and Mei goes running to her side. However Axe-Man is not having a thing to do with it. He can't stand that she is back. He doesn't want her in his life but would do anything for Cleo. He and Cleo have a bigger family now as he has joined the main charter of The Fallen MC after being terribly betrayed by the character he was previously in. This time things are different and he and all the guys are one big family and would do anything they had to for each other. You can imagine their surprise when an old enemy comes into the city trying to stir things up. They have to know why and Axe-Man knows there is just now way that twenty five year or Mei is not involved in what is happening. This story has so much going on that it keeps you one the edge of your seat and turning the pages as fast as you can. I was so in love with these characters. They have quiet the messed up story to tell but you are going to love reading every single second of this book. It is a little different from the other Fallen Men books but a really great addition to the series. The Narrators did a really great job of bringing these characters to life. You do not want to miss listening to this book.

A great addition! Love the fallen men!

The Fallen Men series is one of my favorite series of all time! I love this world, these characters and returning to Entrance, BC felt like a homecoming!

I know we thought this day would never come, but Axe-Man and Mei were a great addition to the series. I knew NOTHING about Axe-Man but he surprised me in the best way. Mei was a bad ass heroine! Henning is such an amazing and complex man. I loved getting his back story and how he and Cleo became a family! 🥺 Mei is Cleo’s best friend and has always thought of Henning as her “white knight.” They are her family. As Mei gets older, her admiration for Henning turns into more.

A situation happens that causes Mei to disappear from their lives for several years. If you’ve read Dead Man Walking, then you know something bad happens to Cleo. Mei ends up returning after all these years to help heal her friend. Tension between Henning and Mei hits at an all time high. It’s forbidden but resisting the temptation is hard. This book was one hell of a slow burn, but in true Giana fashion, she always delivers on the spice. Can’t wait to see whose book we get next!

Audio review:

I enjoyed the audio but as someone who typically listens around 2.5x, I found myself having to decrease the speed to understand the female narrator. Her raspy voice made it hard to understand the dialogue at times. I had to follow along with the book during parts to understand what was being said. I thought Scott Rose voiced Axe-Man perfectly. He had a great pitch and was very easy to understand.

Story was excellent

HOWEVER, the narration distracted from the story & was just down right annoying. Scott Rose's performance was excellent. If he'd have narrated the entire book then the Performance rating would've been higher. Ms Kay was the problem. If the performance was in duet form then it might have been OK. But after 18 hrs of Cindy Kay's whisper performance I wanted to just shoot myself. Her whispered masculine voices were a disservice to the big bad biker boys. Recommend reading this one.

Complex Age Gap Love Story

WOW, I’m having difficulty sorting out my feelings about this book. On the one hand, this has everything I’m supposed to love, age gap, enemies to lovers, hate fuck, I love all of those. The slow burn and tension between them are hot, their hate fuck is definitely one of the steamiest I have ever read. So much hurt, pain, and guilt that they have to overcome to make their relationship work. Their story is heartbreaking, including what happened to Cleo too. This is a very complex love story that’s full of suspense and steam.

However, I think Henning’s hatred is so uncalled for, it annoys me so much, and his age plays the biggest part in why I was annoyed! If they were around the same age? Yes, ok, I’ll accept his behavior, but not from a 40-year-old man. And I fully expect him to go full-on grovel when he knows her reason for disappearing, but NOPE, The man is still angry, for God’s sake, he infuriates me. Mei deserves so much better, the 8 years when they were separated have not been kind to her too, my poor baby.

On a side note, I love the Chinese representation in this book, from the language to the food, I just enjoy them. Mei is one of my favorite FMCs she’s so badass and such a good and loyal friend. This is my first Giana Darling’s book, though it didn’t blow my mind, I’m excited to check ut her other work.

Both narrators are new to me, and I think they have done such a fantastic job. This audio is 18 hours long, and I was completely immersed in their storytelling. Scott’s voice is really deep and charismatic, I think he’s perfect as Axe man. As for Cindy, she did very well bringing Mei’s character to life and on the few words that she had to pronounce in Chinese. If you are taken aback by the thickness of this book, audio maybe the way to go.

PURE EUPHORIC

GAHHH, Giana Darling's writing never misses. I cherished every single minute of this story. And Scott Rose and Cindy Kay's narration on this audio was the perfect pairing to bring Axe-Man and Rocky's characters to life. For real the grit, rasp and the little bit of twang these voice actors portrayed really lifted these characters right off the page. Things just become so real and raw, and this audio production made it all seem so much more visceral. Voice acting at its absolute finest.
