Story
It was supposed to be a one-night stand with a sinfully gorgeous stranger. A man I’d never see again. I was stranded, he had a hotel room (which I had broken into), and the rest is history. Until he shows up at my doorstep five years later with a marriage proposal. Not to marry him, though. Turns out he’s a hitman for the Irish Mob, and his boss needs a wife. The man I’d been dreaming about for years has chosen me. For someone else.

Story
Once upon a time, a lion saved a girl. His little cinnamon girl. That lion grew up into a prince. Dark, bitter, and so beautiful that it hurt to look at him. But underneath it all, the girl saw the man. She saw his hunger for love and affection, and she had plenty to give. I was that girl. I fell in love, even though he told me not to. I gave him everything, because that was who I was.

It's just another Tuesday with Mercury in retrograde. Cue Nikolai Volkov. A devil in Armani with a body built for sin. Protective. Ruthless. Magnetic. Oh, and did I mention he's hot enough to melt Siberia? I should despise him for stealing my freedom. Instead, I'm playing house with the beast and melting every time he growls 'mine’. But as it turns out, this good girl has a knack for taming monsters.

I never planned to give my V-card to a gorgeous stranger I met at a bar. But for once I didn't let myself overthink things. In the few hours we spent together, he managed to push me outside my comfort zone. And I loved every second. I never expected to see him again. Let alone sitting at the head of the boardroom table during my architectural firm's pitch to design his new hotel chain.

Capo to the Luciano Famiglia was my birthright. The cruelty needed to succeed in this life has been beaten into me since I was a young boy. My father, Vincent Luciano, taught by example and with the slap of his hand. My independent streak took me down paths my father would never have gone. With our enemies gaining strength, it is my idea to attempt an alliance with an unlikely bedfellow. The Roríguez Cartel and the Luciano Famiglia are improbable partners, yet even Vincent Luciano can’t deny the possible benefits. The only way to solidify the deal is for me to marry Catalina Ruiz.

A wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of a girl's life. For me, it was a nightmare. The man I'm promised to isn't exactly Prince Charming. And the way I ended up on this altar isn't exactly the stuff of fairy tales. You see, my family isn't like yours. My father and brother do... things... that should never see the light of day.

Being the eldest son has always been a blessing and a curse. I was raised to be one thing and one thing only. A monster. My father did everything in his power to make sure that’s exactly what I became too. He wasn’t expecting that the monster he created would be the one to take him out though. Now I’m in charge. Of the family, the empire. Everything. I’m learning real fast that being the boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The first order of business was finding a new place to live.

When my best friend Casey ghosted me for an entire summer, my life took a crazy turn. So crazy, I think I might've just circled back to our last conversation the night after she popped her cherry with two honest-to-god Doms. Now I really need to talk to her because I think for the first time I might be able to one-up her in the kink department. Spoiler alert: I have my own pair of kinky guys now too. The twist? Mine are twins.

Armed with comfy pants, overpriced coffee, and a highly anxious emotional-support corgi, I prepare to face him. Corporate boss. Villain. Salinger Svensson. I step into his office. His perfect mouth twists into a sneer. There is no heart of gold beneath that suit, just a big black pit. He’s a shark in the frothy waters of high-stakes finance. He might be the archetypal-asshole CEO, causing all in his path to quake in fear, but he’s never had to face down a basic bitch in her thirties.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. 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.

He’s fixed on making this a Christmas Evie will remember forever. If she gives him a chance.

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.

It was supposed to be a one-night stand with a sinfully gorgeous stranger. A man I’d never see again. I was stranded, he had a hotel room (which I had broken into), and the rest is history. Until he shows up at my doorstep five years later with a marriage proposal. Not to marry him, though. Turns out he’s a hitman for the Irish Mob, and his boss needs a wife. The man I’d been dreaming about for years has chosen me. For someone else.

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.

My husband is cruel, ruthless, and despicable. I hate him with every fiber of my being. The only reason I haven't killed him or tried to run away is because of the promise I made. I sold myself to save someone I loved...and this is the price I have to pay. I was sitting alone in a bar when the most handsome man walked inside. Striking blue eyes, cheekbones as sharp as glass, and a muscular body fit for a war. He was gorgeous. I couldn't take my eyes off him. When he bought me a drink, I didn't say no. I'd been unfulfilled for so long, and I wanted a real man for the night.

The last thing I expected when I married at twenty-two was to remain a virgin at twenty-four. My husband didn’t want me; he married me out of obligation rather than love, and I thought nothing could hurt worse than that. But my solution, marriage counseling, was only the beginning. The first time I saw Shane, I knew I was boarding an express bus to hell because my husband never made me feel a flicker of that spark, and that was before we shook hands.

Savage
🎧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.

Irish Mafia Romance
This was my first Deborah Garland. When I say this gorgeous cover was available in Audio, I jumped on it.
My cup was full for sure!
I thought this was fast paced, exciting and steamy AF. Isabella was fierce and she has dreams too. She's heartbroken after losing her mother and desperate to escape from under her father's thumb. Without her mother there to take it, his abuse is turning to her.
Luckily, or unluckily, Kieran has his eye on her and thinks she will be the perfect jewel for his crown. He just isn't expecting her to demand more from him. He thinks his desires are too dark for his Mafia Princess but... he is a fool. Haha!
I really loved the give and take between them and though Kieran got stupidly frustrating at some points, it made his fall into her arms that much sweeter.
Powerfully performed by Tyler Griffen and Lexi Evans, I would recommend for the romance reader who doesn't mind having their cheeks burn in public...

Such a great story!! Wonderful Audio!!
Savage King by Deborah Garland is the second book in the Astoria Royals series. As of right now there are 7 books in the series. The audio of Savage King was released on September 13, 2024. I am reviewing the audio but the review will stand for the ebook as well.
Savage King is the story of Kieran and Isabella. Kieran is the Don or leader of the Irish mafia, after losing his fiance, he has had quite a lot of failed marriage arrangements So when the Russians attack the Italians, Kieran decides that the Italian princess, Isabella, could use protection in the form of an Irish mafia husband. Unwillingly, but knowing it is her best chance at survival, Isabella goes with Kieran and lets him marry her. It becomes increasingly clear that someone is after Isabella and it’s now Kieran’s job to protect her.
After reading book 1 in this series I was eager to read the rest of the series. There is an ongoing “mystery” so to speak throughout the series. I am dying to know what the outcome will be. Savage King, just like the first book, is a pretty quick and easy read. I have hopes we will continue to see these characters throughout the series. I really loved Isabella’s character. Sometimes I struggle with liking main female characters but although Isabella is young, she has a good sense of self and she learns some lessons throughout the book and really comes into her own. Kieran is brutal and savage but quickly learns that he is all those things except when with Isabella.
So far this is my favorite story in the Astoria Royals series. I can’t wait for the rest!

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!

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

Savagely good !
An exciting Audiobook Savage King !
A love story about Kieran and Isabella
An Age Gap arranged marriage forced proximity Spicy Mafia Romance,
The Audiobook was an ALC, although the author and narrators were new to me I did enjoy the Audiobook.
Kieran the protagonist is a beautiful six foot 4 Savage Irish King who ends up buying Isabella during a negotiation with her father, the moment he saw Isabella he felt compelled that almost desperately to have Isabella despite his emotional past.
Isabella the FMC is a strong headed female who despite what is thrown her way manages to still keeps her head high although at times she tends to act like a brat just to antagonize Kieran !
She had no choice but to leave the ashes of her former life to become wife and queen of the Savage Head of the Irish Mafia Kieran o’Rourke .
The two have great chemistry together and the scenes are quite HOT Kieran is truly a savage..
But Bella as affectionately called by Kieran was lying to him which could end up costing her everything she didn’t know she wanted .
The brothers mentioned in this story was an added bonus especially when they are together it is fun to hear the banter and brotherly love, sibling banters makes the book a lot more fun.
Only hope there will be a story o about the Brothers .
Really a fast paced spicy Duet , the Narrators were amazingly good especially with the Irish Russian and Italian accents narrated by Tyler Griffen !
The narrators made this story came to life!
Overall a fantastic Audio experience,
Can’t wait for the next series !

📚Story review📚
I love a mafia romance and very much enjoyed Isabella and Kieran’s chemistry that pulsed from the beginning of their arrqanged union. Dangerous, hard, and demanding Kieran oozes fierce Irish mafia Don from every corner of his being, but I loved the glimpses of soft he had just for Isabella. I loved Isabella’s strong character and their push and pull. The spice was spicin’ in this one! Looking forward to the next book in the series.
✨🎧Audiobook Review🎧✨
Tyler and Lexi were new narrators for me and I thought they enhanced the story and brought Kieran and Isabella to life! Tyler does an Irish brogue which can be hard to pull off. I actually went and pulled other books to see if it was a real accent or not because I thought it was so well done! Lexi was a brilliant Isabella and I enjoyed her sweet and strong voice. I enjoyed this listen and will be looking for more from them in the future!
Thank you to The Author Agency and Deborah Garland for the listen. It was truly my pleasure! ❤️❤️

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.
