About this listen
When a mysterious man rescues her from near death, a young woman finds herself in the throes of a dark and dangerous storybook romance, where pleasure reigns but happy endings are no guarantee.
Guinevere
For all my life, Italy has called to me just as strongly as my father forbade me to go. But now I’m making my own way, spending a summer in his homeland before I accept the life my parents have planned for me.
All those plans come to a screeching halt the moment I meet him. Raffaele Romano.
Raffaele
Everyone knows me as the capo dei capi of the Camorra, a notorious mafioso in Northern Italy, but she makes me remember who I used to be before I became this monster. For her, I could be so much more, but she can never know the truth about who I am.
She’s falling in love with me, but if she discovered the truth about what that monster is capable of, about the things I’ve done…she’d never believe in happily-ever-after again.

My entire life changed when he walked into my father’s café in Tuscany…Il Mostro. The monster. The devilishly handsome mafia don Dario Rosolini. He and his brothers run this region… and they take everything they want. Including me. Although Dario has made clear that I am his and ONLY his. But I’ll fight back, no matter how hard it is. Not just because I’m afraid of him (although I am)… But because, deep down, I WANT him… And I know that giving in to him will ruin me forever.

I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope.

Arrogant, dangerous, and unbelievably skilled with his tongue, Luka is a ruthless bratva boss who has a reputation for playing it fast and loose. And I've fallen right into his possessive hands. He might be exceedingly handsome and wealthy, but that doesn't forgive him for being a notorious criminal mastermind. Maybe I should've thought twice before crawling into bed with him. And perhaps it would've been wise to use protection instead of getting lost in his fierce gaze and perfect abs.

Story
Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

I crafted a perfectly simple life for myself and my son. It was peaceful and lonely, exactly how I wanted it. Then my new neighbor moved in and ruined everything. Archer Green. Not just a member of a motorcycle club but the president. The leather jacket on his broad back, along with all its various patches, might as well have been red flags, warning me to stay away all the while his looks dared me not to. Ignoring him was futile. Still, I tried. Until Archer showed up in my son’s classroom, ready to read for storytime hour.

As the most infamous mafioso of the 21st century, Dante Salvatore was madly passionate, unequivocally bad, and entirely too dangerous to know.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again. I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here. I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans.

Still married. Those words change everything. Now my should-be ex-husband, Ramsey Stockton, the former pro football star turned felon and hero who left this town—and me—behind years ago, is at my door offering me a deal with the devil. If I let him stay and play his wife again for ninety days, he’ll give me a quiet divorce and his family ranch—the one my inn is on. When I scoff at the idea, he offers a million-dollar bonus to help my business float through this rough patch, but only if I’m his.

Phew sooo hot
Me 🫱🏼🫲🏾 Giana Darling
I will devour anything and everything she writes because I just know it will be a banger of a read.
I loved Raffa and Guinevere with my whole heart. These two were full of chemistry and they did not disappoint. Raffa was such an alpha male but it was very clear that Guinevere is his soft spot because he would do *anything* to keep her safe.
I loved the story of Guinevere travelling to Italy to learn more about her family history...and I hope she gets some answers in the next book!
Their meet-cute started off the book super strong and had me hooked right from the beginning! And now we have to wait until OCTOBER to finish their story! Eek!!

GREAT LISTEN.. BUT A DUET WITH NO BOOK 2 UNTIL OCT
The narration was perfect with its delicious Italian accents by CJ and Dane, the building romance was so sweet and addictive, the plot had a good balance of everything I love in a Mafia romance and once again Giana has delivered a five star book. HOWEVER, the cliffhanger had me screeching like a banshee because I thought it was a standalone rather than a Duet which I wouldn’t of started if I’d known I’d have to wait until October for the conclusion. 🤬😢
Thirty-four yo Raffa just wanted to be Guinevere’s knight in shining armour instead of the dark Capo people feared and, for some reason, this shy but strong twenty-three yo American virgin brought out a side of Raffa he’d never felt before. Patient, thoughtful, kind, possessive and very protective.. so, what harm would it do to pretend to this tourist he’s just a wealthy businessman for the few weeks she’s staying in his country? And what will be the fate of sweet Guinevere, who’s living out her dreams of visiting Florence while falling in love with the perfect man? Well unfortunately we’ll all have to wait until October to find out the conclusion after their bubble bursts in a nasty cliffhanger.
Worth a credit? Yes, I really enjoyed it.. but it did lose a star because of Guinevere’s reaction when the 💩hits the 🪭.

WOW!!!!!!!!!
I love a good mafia story. Danger and Spice are my go to listens, and this didn't disappoint. Started as a bit of a slow burn, but that ramped up the anticipation, and once the spice hit, it was spicing. Raffa & Guinevere were great characters that I really want more of. The narration was spectacular, both of them nailing every single scene. I cannot wait for the follow up - because I was not thrilled how it ended, I have issues and questions. But I'm sure the conclusion will take us on a ride.

A good listen
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The story and plot were truly captivating. Guinevere and Raffa are complete opposites. She’s soft, innocent, and yet possesses a certain light within her. On the other hand, he’s the brooding, dangerous Italian mafioso, harboring a darkness he doesn’t attempt to conceal. Despite their seemingly incompatible personalities, they somehow find a perfect fit. The moment he saves her, it becomes evident that their story will be intriguing and unforgettable.

Sensual
Do yourself a favor and listen to the audio version of this book because this man's voice especially when speaking Italian will have you weak in the knees. I fear I melted while listening to this. It is seductive and sensual and oh so delicious. Can't wait for the second book because I'm going to need more of this man in my life.

Good cliffhanger
Good mafia romance.
Mfc was naive, but not weak. She was sunshine and a likable character.
Mmc was possessive and unapologetic.
2.5 to 3 on the spice scale.
Female narrator was great, male narrator was not. He almost whispered, not sexy, hard to listen to him.

"Segui la tua stella."
"My Dark Fairy Tale" was a rollercoaster of emotions and a free vacation to Florence at the same time. The scenarios in this book were immaculate, and I found myself wondering if I could spend a summer in Italy like my girl Guinevere.
I adore this book to pieces from the Italy vibes to the possessive male main character to the genuine and authentic Guinevere. Everything was so well done. So perfectly well written.
There's always something about mafia romance that makes me giggle every time, and it's undoubtedly how the mmc Hates (and hurts!) everyone but her and Raffa, let me tell you... NAILED IT in this trope.
Guinevere was one of those female main characters that I loved to meet and thst I was rooting since the beginning.
The plot was so immersive and addictive that I couldn't put this one down for even a second. I loved the chemistry between them, the moments and especially the side characters!
Giana let me on the edge of my seat... again. And now I don't know what to do with my life while I am waiting for book two because excuse me, how can I move on?
Please pick this one. It's such an addictive and bingeable book.

If Giana writes it I will read it
I don't read a lot of mafia romance but Raffaele and Guinevere's story is delicious. This is a perfect blend of spice and intriguing plot. The romance is a slight slow burn but they keep you on your toes.
What you can expect
- dark mafia romance
- set in Italy
- Age Gap
- Billionaire Italian mafioso
- he falls fast and hard for the American girl
And after that cliffhanger I can't wait for book 2!
CJ Bloom and Dane Anderson did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life. I will say I usually listen at 1.75 speed and had to slow it down a little because Dane's Italian accent was to good and I was struggling to understand the thick accent. However they nailed these characters and I have no complaints otherwise!
