As always, reading one of her books will take you on a ride. It’s taboo, dark, and dirty. This is a collection of short stories with a list of trigger warnings. Sit down, grab your popcorn, and enjoy the ride!
Chaotic_bookworm –
Okay, first and foremost check your triggers! This is a TABOO collection and I’m not talking about a tinge of taboo this is VERY taboo, so if blood relations are a no go please turn back now. This book is definitely not for you! But if you enjoy erotic taboo reads then buckle up buttercup because Dani Rose has created a wild collection!
With 7 short stories and different levels of darkness there is something for every taboo reader. I couldn’t pick a favourite because each story had it own unique qualities.
All in all Dani Rose has done a great job with this collection and a must read for all those taboo baddies.

Talk about ! My only complaint is that the short stories weren’t longer! I’m telling you, if you want to drive yourself crazy, read these! And the long story at the end is even better. Make sure your batteries are charged or your SO is home when you read these

I devoured this Collection of Taboo Erotic Horror.
I enjoy reading Dani’s Dark stories full of revenge, trauma, and Hot Taboo steamy scenes. Some of these are darker than others, with heavy triggers so please check TW before reading.
If you love Pitch Black, Morally Grey with plot twist that make you squirm you will love this delicious Collection

Absolutely Amazing! Darker Hearts is a collection of stories that are each dark, taboo, and will draw you in. The stories range from sweet, to what the heck did I just read, to making you beg for more! There is magic, non-human, psycho exes, trafficking, and a why choose, among other things. I loved all of the stories but there are two that I favored. If you have triggers, definitely skip Stumped Dreams. If not, you are in for a wild ride! This story is creative, pitch black, heartbreaking, and will mess with your mind. I absolutely devoured Seven Sins! The plot, characters, and spice are perfection. This story is why choose. The guys are all obsessive, protective, and dominant as heck. I can’t get enough of the twins. Their praise/degradation made me giggle everytime! I liked how Harley was written as a normal woman. She is insecure about her weight, relationships, and has anxiety. With the help of her men and Vera she was able to gain more confidence and not let her insecurities rule her. Everyone needs a bestie like Vera. There is a little something for everyone but make sure you check the warnings before each story. If you are down for anything, make the leap and embrace the darkness!

Book Fantasies – When she writes a fantasy romance scene and it suddenly comes true. Her brother is now becoming the MMC of her fantasies and no longer human and instead the monster mate she wrote about in her journal. This was super spicy and absolute insanity. I loved it.
Family reunion – Coming back home to where she was previously abused and finds her room is now a smex dungeon. She has to survive if she plans to get even. This one was dark and I didn’t see the ending coming but I loved it.
Robbed Innocence – When 4 masked men break in they give two options and neither are good. Dad is forced to make a decision…the rest was unexpected but definitely spicy.
Stumped Dreams – Sold to be a smex worker. But nothing was as it seemed. This one definitely caught me by surprise but I loved it.
Plot Twist – This one takes place in a library and is all spice.
Daddy’s Girl – When she goes into a smex club and chooses to be used she gets a surprise when the man is huge and they need to relocate as the position doesn’t work. That’s not the only surprise for the night….
Seven Sins – This one is a full dark and depraved story. This one shows you all the sins and just how fun they can be. I loved these men and their brutal brand of loving.
Michele Grube –
As mentioned by other reviewers — check the TWs so you can read at your own comfort level.
Having said that, this was an interesting mix of, dare I say fun, entertainment, and loved the chef’s kiss revenge. Always expect the unexpected and you won’t be disappointed.
Gabriela Gordillo –
Okay yes this is definitely very dark and taboo but they’re very good stories and I loved them all , do check trigger warning before please!
WickedMomma –
Pleasantly corrupted
I was super excited to read this one and it did not disappoint! Please – please – review your triggers (if you have them). Disclaimer aside, this book was a fabulous ride through the darkest of tunnels. Dani Rose drags in you from the first page and keeps her hold on you to the last – leaving you begging for more. Highly recommend this as a truly dark and beautiful read!

Dani does it again with these stories. You know that you shouldn’t love them but you can’t help it.
I think that book fantasies was my favourite, it reminded me of Sandra Bollock in practical magic. Granted Sandra got the cop and Amelia in book fantasies gets her brother.
Out of all the stories family reunion and stumped dreams were my least favourite. I do think that normally I would lap these stories up so it could just be the mood I was in when reading them.
If you want short, spicy, taboo then this might just be worth picking up.
Susan McWhinney –
Before embarking on this dark depraved journey be sure to read TW issued as these stories may be confronting and Your Mental Health Matters and these quirky quick reads are not for the faint of heart…..
Book Fantasies: Josh and Mia…look out what you wish for, literally….Ahhh The Kracken, a monster in every woman’s depraved dreams!
Family Reunion: Jessica and Harrison seek their sweet revenge on her parents and her brother, Adam as they plot to regain their freedom. Who needs a family reunion when faced with sick depraved parents and a sibling who are out to ruin you. Incest has nothing on me baby!!
Robbed Innocence: Amber soon learns to love her “daddy” in more ways than one! Such a hot steamy 5 minutes that I will never forget!
Stumped Dreams: “stumpy” WTF did I just read….OMFG. This is a short mind f3ck of a story! Little Miss Polly Pocket F3ck doll! And once she is finally rescued by her foster brothers, Dolton and Isaac, Retribution is sought and vengeance is served, “Who knew I could find solace in my stumped dreams?”
Plot Twist: Becca and half brother Kip….secret siblings to secret lovers…OH YEH!!!! Needed more to this short quirky story, but it was hot all the same….hunted through a library by Kip and his cronies only to be blindfolded and railed in all three holes….What all good girls dreams are made of!
Daddy’s Girl: A sex club and A “gloryhole room”….like WTAF??!! A Daddy Kink that we never knew we wanted or needed. A “quickie”, or maybe not so much a quickie for Cara and her “daddy”!!
Seven Sins: What an ending to a series of short stories. The seven sins captivates you from the beginning and I knew I was going to love Harley with her quick comebacks and sassy attitude. Even with all the trauma she suffered growing up, and living with a man who was intent on degrading her and her body whenever he could, she came out at the end as a more centred person. With the help of her harem of lovers, including the dubious Cody…..incest or no?? Ahhh take a ride on the dark side and enjoy Darker Hearts, just as I did!

Wow!!!! I love all the collection of stories in the book. Every single one of them had me hooked from the beginning! I love taboo dark romance and this definitely fit in that category. If you have triggers, definitely check them…I do not and love every single one! If you love dark taboo erotica, you definitely need to read this!!!!
Cheryl Koch –
Warning: This collection of short stories is taboo.
While these stories may be taboo/forbidden, they are still all good stories. Some do feature Dubcon but the scenes are not too long or too graphic. Don’t worry as the bad people do meet their ends. Yet, each story allows the ones who are suffering to heal.
If you have read any of Dani Rose’s other books, than you will like this collection.

read triggers!

Hcain –
These stories are soo good! They move quickly and keep you interested. Love the dark and depraved stuff!! “Stumpy” was my favorite thus far. So cringey yet soo good!!

From the moment I opened Darker Hearts, I knew I was in for something uniquely provocative-and it delivered. This collection brilliantly weaves together eroticism and horror, creating a tension that is both seductive and unsettling.
The Seven Sins was definitely my favorite, the two fmcs and the four mmcs were amazing.
I definitely recommend reading the list of triggers on this one as there are a lot. But it was definitely an amazing read for my first foray into taboo romance! I will definitely be reading more by this author.
Jennifer Ross –
Chilling book of stories. This is not for the light hearted, filled with horrors, traumas and a sprinkling of spice. It was nice to have this so I could sit down to one story at a time a just breakaway into the book world. Very intense please for author notes for content awareness as this is FILLED with intense scenes. For my dark reading friends check this out!!

A book off short stories followed by a longer one. They were sexy, full of taboos and kinks.
Besides the smut the stories were good, great book when you’re looking for horror, monsters, in*est and more. Some were crazy but the last story was my favorite and felt like a good ending to the book.
Alanna Jackson –
Definitely dark and terribly taboo! I loved these stories and could read a few of them quickly throughout my day. So good!
[email protected] –
In true Dani Rose fashion this one grabbed me by the throat and never let go. If you love erotic trauma-mances you won’t be disappointed.
Don’t go into this one blind. Check the triggers there is a laundry list of them.
Jamie Byers –
Make sure and check those warnings! This contains some really dark taboo material and your mental health matters. Dani Rose brought us some interesting Taboo reads in this book. I had a hard time putting it down. I could totally got for a Kane and Zeke.

You would not believe how fast I ran to my Kindle app when I saw that this had been delivered! I love everything that I have read by Dani Rose and I’m only sad that I just recently discovered her. First off I love anything dark, pitch black, taboo… The more morally gray/black the better! I also love short stories so this was just a win-win for me overall. Seven sins was the longest, but I’m not sure if it was my favorite…Who am I kidding of course it was my favorite .I definitely loved the ins and outs of the budding dynamics and I was super excited to see the ending because who doesn’t love a morally dark cowboy… The story just happened to have a few of them ***swoon*** I do miss living on a farm… I can’t wait to see what this author brings to us next because I will devour it in a single night as well!

If you are a taboo lover, this is a collection for you.
A mix of short stories followed by a novella at the end. Filled with all different mixes of taboo, fantasy and horror.
My favorite was Robbed Innocence, Stumped Dreams scared me a little lol which is the point, but then Daddys Girl made it all better!!
However, Seven Sins was just delicious. The right mix of taboo, 2 badass females, 4 brutal beasts of men and a whole mix of secrecy, revenge, rage, honesty, love and pigs lol.
If you love taboo, this collection has it all!!
michellebreckon –
Please read your trigger warnings before you start!
The first short story, Book Fantasies, was my favorite. What can I say? We share very similar tastes in our dream men (although now I know that when I find said journal, I need to specify that I want my husband with said traits…). I absolutely loved this one. I would love to see this as a stand-alone book one day, but longer.
The other story that stood out was the last one. Honestly, not nearly as dark as I expected (er, except for what happens to a few of the characters… not going to name names!), but the characters were adorable and I love their dynamic.
One of my favorite Dani Rose books to date!

Darker Hearts by Dani Rose is a collection of short taboo dark erotic stories. This was one spicy dark collection. The collection does range from tales that are more horror based to others that are just sensual. No matter what if you enjoy the taboo this was excellent. Each story was unique with unhinged plots and crazy and exciting characters. There was not a story I did not enjoy in this collection.
The stories included:
Book Fantasies
Family Reunion
Robbed Innocence
Stumped Dreams
Plot Twist
Daddy’s Girl
Seven Sins
If you enjoy the taboo then you definitely want to check the author and collection out.

these stories were delicious I honestly would accept full length novels of all of those stories at some point. these are the definition of taboo so if you’re easily offended these aren’t for you. if you’re like me and loved “Stumpy” would you like to join a support group with me? I don’t know why body horror doesn’t phase me but it’s always one of the tropes that fascinates me in erotic horror stories.
basically as a reader I need more splatterpunk level novels from this author’s pen name.
