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.

I hate cliffhangers, the worst bit is that the next book isn't even out yet!!! I was enjoying the story, but really not sure I want to check the second book when it's out, the story was dragging, male narrator was a bit irritating, or maybe it was the MMC character 😂. I have only read another book from this author, still not sure if I'll pick another one.

Cliffhanger!!!

This one was such a breath of fresh air! The imagery was incredible—every scene felt so real. I loved the age gap and of course the mafia🖤

One of my favorite lines was, 'Tonight, I feel like playing the hero instead of the villain.' —I love the person Raffa allowed himself to be with Vera🖤

'But to me, you are the shooting star that lights up my life.' 😍😍😍 I’m not sure how to say sawoon in Italian…

I’m a sucker for authentic feeling mafia guys & the Italian phrases throughout the book were perfect! I can’t wait to listen to the audiobook because it's going to be so yummy!

I was hooked from start to finish and can’t wait for the next book to come out. Highly recommend it!

Hooked from the start🖤

Giana never disappoints. I’m so in love with her writing - she’s just so amazing at giving sensuality to her characters that it never feels like they’re being too OTT. Always such a swoony romance with great heat!

🎧 Dual Narration🎧
Narrated by: CJ Bloom & Dane Anderson

The male voice was a bit too heavy on the faux Italian accent for me 🥴 but even still was overall a good listen!

fun mafia romance!

Raffaele & Guinevire's story is an age gap dark mafia romance. Expect an unhinged, obsessive & Possessive mmc. Who did this to you?. Touch her & d!e. Let me spoil you .
The FMC is strong, lovely, smart, equally possessive and i loved her. Read this in one sitting. That's how much i was entertained ❤️
From the opening scene this had me feeling nostalgic. It took me back to the first time I discovered mafia romance where the mmc oozed real power, danger & were protectors & very possesive not scared to be romantic. And the fmc were feisty and had that longing for something which made them so relatable & arent afraid of their feelings. The mouth on Raffa 🥵🔥....
Giana Darling is a great writer and she made fall in love just as these two were falling, I was hooked from the start and the narrators where chef kiss.. I loved Dane Anderson's Italian accent 🔥 CJ Bloom has such a gorgeous feminine voice & she perfectly portrayed Guinevire and she came across as warm , innocent & very likeable.
Loved Raffaele's found family.
There is so many questions yet to be answered like who is the elusive San Marco? Why did Guinevire's dad leave Italy? What else is coming ??
The cliffhanger will leave you wanting & it's pure torture because book two My dark ever after is coming 25/10/25 , I can't wait

“I would never let anything hurt you,” he said slowly, as if he was afraid I would not understand my own language. “I would kill a thousand men who tried, and I would sleep like a fucking baby knowing I did the right thing every time.”

swoonworthy dark mafia romance 🔥

I have always loved books by Giana Darling and this one is no exception.

Giana manages to write so exquisitely that she makes you believe that you are personally experiencing Guinevere's journey in Tuscany and, particularly, Florence.

Rafael is the most gorgeously drawn capo with a beautiful heart which shines through when he runs into Vera (personally I don't like this shortened version of a beautiful name) my heart melts when he takes her into his home and cares for her.

What an amazing way to spend a six week holiday draped in the arms of a delicious mafiosa!

I am not sure what to think about the ending, though! On one hand, being the person she was like, her reaction was extreme, and I didn't like her for it, but she is young, and it was a good ending for a duet ... so we shall see how our little story continues shortly!

The #duetnarration was phenomenal, and Dane could literally narrate the phone directory to me in Italian, and I would swoon!

Little Fawn!
