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 Thoughts
Giana Darling's "My Dark Fairy Tale" is a captivating and steamy start to her "My Dark Mafia Romance" series, and the audiobook edition elevates the experience. The story plunges us into Guinevere's impulsive journey to Italy, a land her father forbids, where she encounters the enigmatic and powerful Raffaele Romano. What unfolds is a dark and alluring romance, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality as Guinevere finds herself drawn to a man who embodies both her deepest desires and hidden dangers.
Darling masterfully crafts an atmosphere of suspense and intense chemistry between the innocent Guinevere and the commanding Raffaele. The age gap and power dynamics are explored with a compelling blend of tenderness and raw possessiveness. While the "fairy tale" aspect is twisted through a mafia lens, the core elements of longing, fateful encounters, and a captivating hero remain. The narrative expertly balances the burgeoning romance with the underlying threat of Raffaele's world, leaving the listener constantly on edge.
The audiobook narration perfectly complements Darling's writing. The narrators embody the characters' emotions and personalities, bringing their internal struggles and desires to life. The Italian accents add an extra layer of authenticity and immersion, enhancing the overall listening experience. The pacing of the narration allows the listener to fully absorb the emotional nuances and the building tension.
"My Dark Fairy Tale" on audio is an engaging and seductive listen. It's a well-crafted dark romance that will leave you breathless and eagerly anticipating the next installment. Darling successfully delivers a story that is both thrilling and deeply romantic, making this audiobook a must-listen for fans of the genre. Be warned, however, that this is the first part of a duet and ends on a significant cliffhanger.
