About this listen
A scorching STANDALONE Irish Mafia ARRANGED MARRIAGE and AGE GAP Romance available in Duet Narration Audio!
Grumpy Irish King X Sunshine Mafia Princess
6’4”. Drop-dead gorgeous. Rich as sin. With a closed-off heart of stone, Kieran O’Rourke is the head of the Irish Mob. And my new fiance.
To finance my father’s war with the bratva, I’m being sold to a savage.
As a mafia princess, I knew my marriage would be arranged. But my mother promised she’d choose a billionaire. And not be tied to a disgusting mafia boss like my father. But…here I am.
Now Kieran needs an heir to secure his reign. I need to not fall for his charm and dirty talk. During the day, he’s cold as ice. As night, an undeniable fire blazes between us. And there’s only one thing more dangerous than being married to a savage. Falling for one.

When my husband ran off with our saloon’s hostess, I left Montana, joining my college-aged son in Oregon. Eugene’s a far cry from my little hometown, But I did my best to blend in with the locals, And tried heading out for a jog.

If I was to dream up the perfect man even my wildest imagination would have fallen short compared to Cole Nichols. Tall, broad shoulders, smile to die for and dreamy green eyes that held a mischievous glint. Add in a heart of gold, always helping others in need. We had planned out every detail of our lives together…including his dream of becoming a major league pitcher. So when my gran got sick and I needed to take care of her, I gave him the push he needed, breaking my heart, and his, in the process.

It was a desperate move to save my restaurant, but now he’s onto me and refusing to play along. Between his scorching looks and my traitorous hormones, keeping things strictly business is like trying to diet in a chocolate factory.

I was a workaholic executive—until I almost died. It took a near-death experience to get my priorities straight, And I knew big changes had to be made. Priority #1 was spending more time with my kids and mother, So I quit my job and bought a beach house on Cape Cod. With the sun on my face and my toes in the sand, I met one of the beach rangers, Who turned out to be the hot single dad next door. Dylan helped me move some furniture, And I offered him dinner to thank him for his trouble— Not knowing it would end with dessert.

A year ago, I reluctantly erased my true other half’s memories of our time together. She said that if we were truly meant to be married, our souls would find each other again. Now, I’ve illegally traveled to Earth and have found her alone in a secluded cabin. I only have a few days to convince her of who I am to her. But the odds are against me. She didn’t recognize me on sight, no longer has a translator, and sees me as an alien. But I refuse to give up. There is no one else for me in the galaxy.

Even though he is heir prince of the dragon-shifters, he doesn’t have the authority needed to help the humans stranded in dragon territory, nor can he banish those who ruthlessly control them. Yet honor demands he finds an opportunity to intervene, and he hopes that doing so won’t start a war the shifters can’t win.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears.

Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

She’s in the wrong place at the right time...Gunshots echo, reverberating through me, allowing me to feel something...anything other than the pain that consumes me. That should be a warning to stay away, but for some reason, she comes closer. Intruding on my silence. Sharing my darkness. Close enough for me to see the look in her eyes. It’s not fear, but desire that darkens her eyes in the moonlight. She should run. Run far away from me, but she never does. She comes close enough to touch, tempting the devil inside that wants to cause devastation for the loss I’ve suffered.

🎧Audio Review🎧
I read this book as an ARC and now got the extreme pleasure of listening to the ALC. The narrators did an amazing performance. Really love the irish accent and all the emotion put into it. Below is my original review that still stands accept I love the narration even more. Definitely one I will go back and listen to again.
Wow! This book is so freaking fantastic. Mafia romance at its finest. I thought the first book of the series was good this was even better. I was literally glued to every word. The Irish Mafia Boss Kieran buys the Italian Princess Isabella so he can have her give him an heir. These two butt heads but then when the walls crumble they bond in amazing ways. This book has suspense, angst, and tons of spice. Definitely a 5 star must read series, I can not wait for the next book.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Kieran and Isabella
Kieran and Isabella's story is one I didn't want to stop listening to. We first met Kieran in the first book of this wonderfully written series, Sinful Vows when Ewan planned to find him a wife but fell in love with her himself.
In this book, Kieran takes finding a wife into his own hands when he offers the Italian Don money for the hand of his daughter Isabella. Money Kieran hopes he will use to fund a war between the Italian and Russian factions who rule their parts of Astoria which has been divided into three with Kieran running the Irish.
Kieran may have gone into this marriage intending it to be purely a business arrangement to give him an heir and to give him overall control of Astoria but he had yet to get to know Isabella aka Izzy.
Izzy is much younger than Kieran, but she is strong and has plans and ambitions of her own and becoming a mother before she completes her degree is not one of them. Seeing them come together and learn the art of compromise was fun.
Their chemistry is palpable and very, very hot but will chemistry be enough to break down Kieran's walls around his heart? The storyline features action, betrayal, lies and deceit as well as romance. The book can be listened to as a stand-alone but I would urge you to listen to these books in the correct order to fully understand and enjoy how each of the characters who appear in all the books grow and develop.
The narration of this book is wonderfully performed in Duet by Lexi Evans and Tyler Griffin, they become Kieran and Isabella. I read the eBook when it was first released but the performance of these two talented actors lifted this enjoyable story to an even higher level. Tyler Griffin's Irish brogue was very well done.
I can't wait for Riordan's story to be available in audio!

Outstanding story and the perfect casting!!
Audiobook review: Narrated by Lexi Evans and Tyler Griffin 4.5 stars for story / 5 stars for performance This was my first Deborah Garland book, so I obviously did not read the first book in this series but that did not hinder this story at all. I was blown away by this one. As far as arranged marriages go, this one was fantastic. I especially liked the added Romeo and Juliet vibes with the enemy mafia families and all the mystery and intrigue involved. We get some added angst in that our MMC is still heartbroken over his dead fiancé, and while he is attracted to Isabella, the hang up over Nora lends a strong feeling of Kiernan not being able to love his new wife. On the flip side, Isabella is young and has aspirations that keep her from fulfilling her duties in provided an heir. There is so much going on in this story, but it is written in a way that keeps you engaged and not overwhelmed. I was pleasantly surprised by this story and am excited to continue with the series. While this story is amazing on its own, the audio blew me away. The second Tyler Griffin started speaking I was hooked! His Irish accent was nothing short of mesmerizing and the tone was perfect for portraying this alpha protector role. Add in the masterful way he voiced the other male characters in such a unique way, and he has cemented his place as one of my favorite male narrators. Lexi Evans also did an amazing job bringing Isabella's feistiness to life. She played this role so well I felt every emotion Isabella was going through amplified. The duet style just added to the wonderful audio experience and as much as I want to jump right into the next book of the series, I think it's worth it to wait for the audio (or maybe I'll just do both!)

Kieren and Isabella
💓Audio Review 💓
Let me tell you, you need to listen to this book through audio. The amount of alphahole Kieran is just makes things tingle. Holy Moly!, this is the first book I’ve done in this series and now I need to go back and do the rest of this series. Mafia has always been on of my favorite tropes to read. Their story line crossing between Irish and Italian was hot. That was definitely not something Ive read before with an older mafia leader doing an arranged marriage right out the gate when the book starts. These narrators showed up and showed OUT!. Lexi and Tyler did a phenomenal job with bringing their characters to life. I will leave you with this:
Tropes
-Irish Mafia King
-Age Gap
-Arranged Marriage
-Dominant K!nky Hero
-Eager Virg!n Heroine
-Fighting hard but making up sweet

The Hunt For a Mafia Queen is Savage
A king lost his heart. But now needs a bride to continue his family line. Seems like a fairy tale start. Until you realize his desired wife is the daughter of his desperate for money former school mate.
The life of a mafia boss is not all magic.
Kieran is a gruff, but alluring head of a Irish mob boss family that rules a part of New York, After meeting him in the first book, he now has his eye for Isabella, the Italian princess. After meeting her briefly at the tail end of “Sinful Vow,” this book sends poor Izzy’s world into an explosive whirlwind, this book continuing the storyline right away.
Kieran really is the perfect balance of the smooth criminal that’s wit, dress, and skill slays as much as his chiseled muscles. I feel his growth is natural, which I am grateful for. Mr. Griffin did a phenomenal job making this character the grumpy sunshine boss with a stimulating intonation and accent.
I adored Isabella. She was the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, sassy, and reasonably spoiled. I would love to be friends with her and her progressions was also brilliantly paced. Her style, morals, goals, and how she handles her situations drew me in, rooting for her and her Savage King. Lexi Evans performance was peek, delicious attitude, tenderness, wonder, and a joy to listen to.
Together, they were a fantastic narration team and I am so glad this story is duel.
Mrs. Garland is an amazing author. I love her writing style, captivating characters, flow, and elements that all you to sink into that tale fully. The world building and amount of Mafia was just right (I am not into overly violent stories.)
And the spice level? Phew! Prepare to fam yourself…or lots of cold showers.
The ending too… AH! Definitely makes you want book three!

Savage King
Kieran is the head if the Irish mafia who believes he can never find love again after his fiancé had passed. Isabella is the young wife he had bargained for in order to get an heir. The narrator for Kieran could use some for more inflection in the narration. Isabella's narrator portrays her really well. The story is very well done and the characters have chemistry.

An Arranged Marriage Enemies To Lovers Romance
Savage King by Deborah Garland is an arranged marriage enemies to lover's romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Tyler Griffin and Lexi Evans. This is the second book in the Astoria Royals series.
I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Kieran and Isabella. It was messy but I couldn't help but root for them. I liked getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
The book ended on a great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series Sleeping with the Enemy to be released on audio so I can get Riordan and Priscilla's story.
Tyler and Lexi did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you're looking for a mafia romance, arranged marriage romance, or enemies to lover's romance.
