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.

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.

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl. But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me. We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb. 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. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

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.

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.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

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!!

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.

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.

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 dark fairytale
My first time reading anything by Giana Darling & I totally fell in love!
I really enjoyed how My Dark Fairy Tale really felt like a modern, mafia inspired Hades & Persephone fairytale. The setting was perfect (Italy!), a billionaire mafioso and an innocent maiden spun quite the tale. The chemistry between Raffa and Guinevere was instant. I knew I was going to love these two. I liked that Raffa helped here in the beginning even though that was super out of character for him. I liked that this was also an opposites attract love story. The steamy scenes were so good too, especially the wine tasting one! I mean holy moly!
So much happens plot-wise. I was never bored.
Narrators CJ Bloom and Dane Anderson really knocked this one out of the park. I loved their voices together. Captured the characters and vibes of the story perfectly.
The only thing I'm sad about is that this is a duet and I have to wait for the other half (I did not know this originally going into this book). That cliffhanger is going to drive me nuts haha!
Highly recommend especially if you love mafia romances and fairytale retellings.

Slower Burn
4.5 stars ⭐️ My Dark Fairy Tale is a secret identity, mafia romance. Guinevere has traveled from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Italy. Her father is Italian and was wholly against her trip. Guinevere has dealt with a chronic illness and survived a kidney transplant. This trip that she took in secret was important to her. Immediately she was over her head when she had car trouble and was nearly raped. She got away and ran into Raffa’s car. He helped her. She didn’t know he was head of a mafia family and he didn’t tell her.
This was a great start to a duet! The cliffhanger was excepted but it dangled enough to make me want to pick up the next book immediately! The romance was slower burn. The characters were well developed and I loved the settings from Ann Arbor to Tuscany! The audiobook was fabulous! It’s on KU read and listen!

That female narrator was the wrong choice
The female narrator, CJ Bloom, has poor voice volume control and sounds like a cartoon character. It was hurting my ears to listen to her narration so I switched to reading Guinevere’s chapters. The male narrator was molto bene! This would’ve been straight 5’s across the board had the female narrator been a better one.

"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.
