Welcome To The Dark Side is a forbidden romance between two people who came from different worlds but one moment, solidified their future. It was raw, sexy, enticingly forbidden and I loved every second of this messe Oh my ovaries!!! It was raw, sexy, enticingly forbidden and I loved every second of this messed up ride! One moment, one decision, altered her future without her ever realizing it.

But because of that moment, Lou met her guardian monster and little does she know it, this man would become her everything. Right or wrong, good or bad, this was the beginning of a very complicated love story. The sacrifices, betrayal, and every loss, was important to these characters and their overall future. I already licked the cover, burned the restraining order, and named all our future babies in alphabetical order so back off!

Apr 20, R. Giana Darling created such a masterpiece of heartbreak and sex and darkness. A masterpiece so addictive I'm still wanting to return back to the book to read it all over again. To feel the tightness in my chest. To feel the angst, the sadness and hotness. His protectiveness of those closest to him, of doing anything for them made my heart soar. And Loulou, I loved her strength and her bravery and it came from someone who had experienced a hard life, even though fr Giana Darling created such a masterpiece of heartbreak and sex and darkness. And Loulou, I loved her strength and her bravery and it came from someone who had experienced a hard life, even though from the outside it looked perfect.

Giana has marked herself as one of my favourite go to authors and I can't wait to read each new book of hers and die from how beautiful she weaves words together and makes us readers fall head over heels in love with her men and their ladies. Hands down my favourite book so far in ! I have read the previous book and loved it but feel this is easily a standalone book.

Zeus happen to meet Lou when she was 7 years old. Lou was an innocent victim of a shoot out wheres Zeus saved her life. But they both were hurt by a bullet and Zeus ended up killing a person. They never met before but she felt he was her guardian monster angel.

Because of that bullet they found out early she had cancer and it help to start treatment early. Lou and Zeus spoke at the hospital and someone how formed a bond that never went away. They became Pen Pals and Lou felt Zeus gave her the strength to fight the cancer and she never lost her feelings that he was her guardian monster. Later when she became a young teenager Zeus stop writing her scared that she would for a crush or love attachment knowing that she was a good girl not needing to be corrupted by his bad life.

But Lou never stopped wanting to turn away from the girl image and took to the Dark side anyway. Now Zeus if fighting to do the right thing but Lou is his and always has been so he going to take what is his! Darling books so I knew I would enjoy this book but I didn't know how much. I completely loved it and could not put it down So worth my book-hangover!! And I will tell you that I could hardly put it down y'all!!! Welcome to the Dark Side consumed my life for 24 hours This is my first read by Giana Darling and it sure will not be my last!!

But I did not feel I was missing anything since I haven't read book 1, but I will tell you that I will be going back to read book 1 and whatever else I can get my grubby little hands on!! Holy Shit this book was the bomb. I know it's just my opinion, but I am trying to show how much I loved this MC book!!! Giana Darling knocked Welcome to the Dark Side out of the park!!!!

Now onto my review I really don't want to say too much cuz really, you should just go dig in and hold on for the wild ride!! Zeus Garro is the bad ass MC president. He happens to share an unusual friendship while he is in prison with a young lady that was injured in the crossfires of rival MC clubs.

This part of the book, ohh Hell there are lots of parts of this book that will definitely pull at your heart strings. They become Pen Pals and I will tell you I fell sooo hard for this unlikely pair. You will get sooo sucked into their friendship and see the bond forming right before your very eyes!! I just loved it!! I feel that there should be a disclaimer in the beginning of the book stating: Can't wait to read more of your books!!! View all 6 comments.

View all 5 comments. May 12, NMmomof4 rated it really liked it Shelves: This was an enjoyable mc romance. I wouldn't say I loved it though. I was easily 3. I was easily distracted though. I wouldn't say I was bored, per se, but I was not fully into it. I'm not really sure this will be all that memorable in the long run either This is Lou and Zeus's story. They meet when Lou is 7 and is caught up in a biker shootout, and they are both shot by the same bullet when Zeus shields her.

In the hospital, they connect instantly and end up making an untraditional friendship that leads to being pen pals while Zeus is in jail. They discuss hard topics like Lou's cancer and Zeus's fears. About 10 years later, they are reunited when Lou has grown up a lot and is wanting out of her "perfect" mold that her parents have made for her since her cancer has returned.

After some avoidance and denial, Zeus decides that he is the man for the job in letting Lou test out the dark side safely. There is some typical mc drama, some family drama, and some sexy times Overall Pace of Story: I never skimmed, but I did feel easily distracted and this made it feel slow at times. They instantly connect, but its on a different level when they meet because the h is only 7.

I appreciated how much he cared for the h, and how he was so protective of her. I liked her more as a young girl, but I still liked her as an older one. I liked how she cared for the H and how she didn't care about others opinions of him. Low, I didn't need any tissues -- but I can see where others might have. Yes view spoiler [ The H does push away because of their age difference for a while. They have some hot tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story. Yes view spoiler [ The h is casually seeing OM, and this causes some jealousy for the H.

No view spoiler [ There is one scene where the H makes out with OW and lets her grind on him while the h is watching. This happens before anything physical happens between the h and H, and the H is doing it mainly to push the h away. No view spoiler [ The h does get kissed by a boy that she was casually seeing before she can break it off with him after she is physical with the H , but she doesn't kiss him back and I don't feel like it was cheating because of the circumstances. No, once they're together they stay together. This had pretty good closure with what I would call a HEA ending view spoiler [they're married and she's pregnant hide spoiler ].

I ugly cried more than once and I loved every single word. This story was just Welcome to the Dark Side. Mar 15, R. Give me Daddy Zeus!! Apr 16, Sarah - Musings of the Modern Belle rated it it was amazing.

See a Problem?

This is my first. I needed to get my hands on Zeus, and neither he nor this story disappointed. Zeus Garro is everything and nothing like what I expected. His level of possessiveness is to be expected, and it did nothing but make me lust after him even more. From the beginning Giana Darling humanizes him. She shows us, through correspondences with Lou, that he has a brightness to the grit, that there is a man who is fiercely loyal, protects the innocence of others, and man who loves devoutly.

Like with Lou, she lets us fall in love with his good before she shows us the bad, and like our heroine, we accept his criminal and violent nature, and we cling to the image of the fallen angel, to the man who loves and protects those he values with unfailing devotion. He is the epitome of a God who has fallen from grace, but thrives in the darkness. She is 17 and knows who she is and what she wants not your typical seventeen year old. She has, however, lived a life most teens have not.

Forced to face mortality makes a person see the world differently. It emboldens her, makes her go after what she wants. Although she is all bright lights and beauty, darkness simmers under the surface, and it is what pulls her to her Guardian Monster. She has gumption and tenacity, and she embraces his life as though she was made for it. And although there are moments where her age shine, many times readers forget she is young because she has an old soul.

The story for me at the beginning was a bit slow. It was, however necessary. The opening of the story allows readers to see a non-sexual relationship develop between Zeus and Lou. We get to see their characters change and grow. Once these two begin to interact again in person, though, it is off to the races. The seduction and resistance is enthralling, the acquiescence to desire electric, and the love that blooms is captivating. The danger was just as enticing as the romance. With each allusion to mythology and other classics, I felt my English heart flutter.

These are not some random references placed in the story either. It accentuates the storyline impeccably, and I am just as floored by her prose as I am by the story itself. Giana Darling surpasses my expectations with Welcome to the Dark Side. It is dark and erotic, but it is so much more. But it is also a story of a chosen family, of love and loyalty, and of owning who you are and making no apologies for it. View all 7 comments. I am SO in love with this man, its ridiculous.

Let me just be honest for a second, this book is NOT going to be to everyones taste. Fair warning, if you arent a fan of forbidden romance, dont even bother. If, like me, that doesnt matter to you in the slightest and you are ready for Daddy Zeus, then this book is going to be the ride of your life. Tell me, Lou, when i first break through, will you cry pretty tears for me? I think i was an absolute mess everytime Zeus spoke. He is absolutely filthy at times, and I.

Dont get me wrong though, he had his sweet moments, and it was so perfect to see that caring side of him, and how he utterly worshipped Lou. I have to mention some others though. This girl is so fucking wise, and brave, and just bad-ass. I really adored her. Ooooooh, I love Nova, and really hope he gets his own story. I loved his relationship with Lou.

Anyway, I think ive gone on waaaay too long, but you get the idea I fucking loved this book. Giana Darling is an incredible author and has created a story and characters that are going to blow you away. I know that i am going to be read this book many times over in the future. Jan 22, Heather rated it it was amazing Shelves: I need this book right now!!! Whenever Zeus was around I almost forgot all about King. Apr 14, Tyi rated it it was amazing. I loved King but Daddy Zeus really gave him a run for his money. I laughed so much.

I also cried and had the hiccups in others. The relationship, which Z and Lou, had was utter magic. Their kind of love grew over time and kept evolving.

And I loved watching the interaction between the Garro family and the new girl in Zeus's life. The author wasn't lying when she just there will be tears. There will be many I'm not going to tell ya when the tears will flow but just be ready because it will happen. I don't want to move on I need more time with Zeus and his little warrior.

Apr 19, Misty Walker rated it it was amazing. MC books are a dime a dozen, they draw us in with their depravity and sexy alpha men. They show us an extreme world we will never bear witness to. And most of them are good.

Most of them settle that niggling that makes us want to live on the bad side for a while. Daddy Zeus was a character so big and larger than life that I just wanted to keep going and going. I wanted to read, highlight, send screenshots to my buddy read pa MC books are a dime a dozen, they draw us in with their depravity and sexy alpha men. I wanted to read, highlight, send screenshots to my buddy read partner and then keep going.

It took days to read because I had to discuss every sexy, alpha, yummy, delicious, fantastic moment that Zeus gave me. She was so true to herself and so genuine and Giana is an author that can write characters who never lose themselves. That is very rare. Ok, ready for my favorite quote.

First you have to understand that Lou grew up religious. This quote comes from a Zeus chapter. Apr 15, Caro Richard rated it it was amazing. Her tenacity in the face of it all. And it went on. All the heart pulls. In fact my heart was in my mouth most of the way through this book.

Zeus and Lou's story will make you want more even after you're done reading! I love the author's writing. She has this way of explaining and describing things so poetically that you feel like you are in the moment with the characters. I could actually see Zeus's eyes in my mind with such clairty! The story is an absolutely thrilling rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you pleasantly exhausted.

The balance of angst, humor, drama, mystery is perfect. My heart is battered and bruised, but it's in a fulfilling way that only can be explained by reading the story itself. So much beautiful steam that I honestly thought my Kindle was going to melt. Apr 14, Shelli rated it it was amazing Shelves: This was a beautiful, heartbreaking story!

It was obvious from the start that he was a sexy, larger than life presence that lived by his own rules and was as loyal as they come.

I knew I loved him then. However, I had no idea he would imbed himself into my heart the way he did in this beautiful, emotional story of forbidden love.

Welcome to the Dark Side

Lou is young, but she is an old soul and wise beyond her years. She is insightful and understands people and their intentions, cruel or otherwise, so much more than the average teen. Lou wants more out of life than her distant parents are willing to give. She plays the part they expect of her as the dutiful daughter, but deep down she has a strong spirit and wants to live life on the dark side. Zeus tries to keep his distance, but like a moth to a flame he can no longer deny he needs her in his life.

I loved watching their relationship development as Lou continued to grow as a young woman, trying to figure out her true path in life. However, by the beginning of , Tequila decided to reinvent her image including changing her stage name to Miss Tila. Executive produced by Tequila, Welcome to the Darkside is a musical departure from her previous material.

Upon its release, Welcome to the Darkside received mixed reviews. While some praised Tequila's new softer image, others criticized her weak vocals. Released on March 10, , the main theme of the video is domestic violence.
