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.

Story
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.

Story
Once upon a time, three men almost ruined me. Now they're the only refuge I've got. Stumbling on the luxury house in the woods seems like a godsend when I’m on the run for my life—until I realize the three men who destroyed me live there. Jude exercises his demons through his drawings—and I’m his newest obsession. Nolan is uniquely equipped to manage my medical condition but has a weakness of his own that just might kill him. And then there’s the worst one of all, Rafe. F*cking Rafe, who acts like nothing in the world can touch him—especially me—but wakes up screaming in the night.

People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons. First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.

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.

Story
I'm not a worldly woman. I'm not cultured, well-traveled, or well educated. I'm just a housewife. A mother. I'm the woman with the handsome husband, beautiful daughter, the large house. If you saw it from the outside, you'd probably think I have the perfect life. You would most definitely be wrong. But I don't blame you. We all see what we want to see, turning a blind eye to what others want to stay hidden. Especially when it comes to love. They say love is blind. But I'm more apt to say it's wretched. Love is what made me stay. But love is also what saved me.

Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences.

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.

Jilted by my fiancé. A disappointment to my family. Haunted by my childhood traumas. I felt so much all my life that I resolved to feeling nothing at all. Until I met my match. As the most infamous mafioso of the 21st century, Dante Salvatore was madly passionate, unequivocally bad, and entirely too dangerous to know. He was everything I abhorred, yet I found myself representing him in the biggest criminal trial of the decade. I was so focused on winning and achieving the success I deserved that I didn't notice the gorgeous, black-eyed man's effect on me until it was too late.

Logan Murphy should come with a warning. He’s as hot as a Carolina Reaper on black asphalt in the middle of July. With perfectly messy dark hair and smoldering blue eyes—and don’t even get me started on the way that black tee stretches across his toned chest… He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history. Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.

I’m not truly one of the devout, bonneted brides who traveled to my sister’s wedding in Scotland hoping to find a pious mate in her adopted kingdom pack. Honestly, I only signed up for the free plane ticket and a place to lay low until I could sneak off and start the academic life I’ve been secretly planning for years.

I might be the most promising quarterback in college football today, but once I was just a boy desperately in love with the wrong girl, one I’d very much like to win back. She blocks me better than any player on the field, but to figure out my best play, first I need to understand how we got here. We have been apart longer than we were together but we can’t seem to stop torturing each other. Every guy she touches or allows to touch her is like a knife right to my heart. Not to be outdone, I play her game. No one will ever accuse me of giving less than everything.

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.

Birdie In this world, it is a sin to have a good heart. In a world where power is inherited, promises are broken, and kindness is eradicated, I tried to be good. But no matter how far I ran, the past yanked me back by the collar. The worst thing that can happen to a good heart? It is catching the devil's attention. And liking it. He made the likes of me learn how to beg—begging for it to stop. That pull of brusque hands, the pitch black and Russian laced words. The second worst thing to happen? It is to want to understand it. Sasha I hate many things, but nothing tops the specific kind of...

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!
