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.

To stop a brutal mafia war, I'm forced to marry a man I left tied up in a hotel room seven years ago. Griffin Quinlan, the new head of the Irish Mafia in Lower Manhattan, is as dangerous as he is gorgeous. Brutal and calculating, he’s the last person I ever expected to see again. Seven years ago, one night of passion brought us together, but I walked away without looking back. Or untying him. Now, he’s my husband and wants revenge. Our forced marriage is meant to seal the peace between the Irish and Greek mafia families—my brothers’ idea of a truce.

He’s evil incarnate, cloaked in a beautiful disguise. My father uprooted our family, forcing me to relocate to America. If that wasn’t bad enough, he’s making me marry the son of a psychopath. Maxim Volkov. Heir to the Volkov Bratva. I’d rather die than be shackled to a man so evil. A man who has no soul. His piercing blue eyes are as cold as his stony heart. And he’s not exactly thrilled, either. My life has never felt so hopeless.

Story
You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

One wild night gave me more than just regrets. Six years ago, I walked away from Igor Sokolov—New York’s most dangerous Bratva prince—and vowed never to look back. Or so I thought. Now, he’s found me. And worse, he’s discovered my biggest secret: our daughter. Igor doesn’t ask. He takes. With ruthless determination, he drags us back to New York, claiming it’s the only way to keep us safe. Safe from his enemies, maybe. But not from him. He’s possessive, demanding, and dangerously irresistible. And he’s made one thing crystal clear: I’m his.

An unlikely savior with large, possessive hands, a voice as deep and rich as dark chocolate, and a tongue as quick and hot as lightning. The second Avel tossed me over his broad shoulder, I knew I could never walk away. He made me feel small, safe, and protected, but only because there was no man as dangerous as him. He offered me protection, but not without consequences. Because once you join the mafia, you can never leave, and once you get pregnant with the boss's baby, you belong to him forever.

Arrogant, dangerous, and unbelievably skilled with his tongue, Luka is a ruthless bratva boss who has a reputation for playing it fast and loose. And I've fallen right into his possessive hands. He might be exceedingly handsome and wealthy, but that doesn't forgive him for being a notorious criminal mastermind. Maybe I should've thought twice before crawling into bed with him. And perhaps it would've been wise to use protection instead of getting lost in his fierce gaze and perfect abs.

“I do.” Words I never thought would escape my lips. Now they bound me to the charismatic head of the Volkov Bratva, Nikolai Volkov. His mesmerizing blue eyes, charming smile, and silky smooth voice would be my downfall, and yet, also my salvation. The two simple words would also be a personal vow to destroy my stepmother and enemies. If I’m forced to be bound to the mafia life forever then I’ll show them all. I’ll show them how far this ‘angel’ has fallen. I’m not a pawn like they all think.

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.

Story
To stop a brutal mafia war, I'm forced to marry a man I left tied up in a hotel room seven years ago. Griffin Quinlan, the new head of the Irish Mafia in Lower Manhattan, is as dangerous as he is gorgeous. Brutal and calculating, he’s the last person I ever expected to see again. Seven years ago, one night of passion brought us together, but I walked away without looking back. Or untying him. Now, he’s my husband and wants revenge. Our forced marriage is meant to seal the peace between the Irish and Greek mafia families—my brothers’ idea of a truce.

And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

🎧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.

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

steamy and entertaining
Kieran and Isabella have a steamy age gap, mafia romance. Isabella is strong and has a spine. Kieran, well I wouldn't call savage, but he is a man with power and is protective. I liked their dynamics together. The narration brought this story to lofe even more, it was eaay to forget the wolrd around me. Very entertaining!

Great mafia love story
The author took a normal Mafia arranged marriage story and added twists and turns to make it more original and different. The narrators did a great job with all the characters and emotions. I love a good duet narration!.

Great storyline
This was such a good book.
Right from the beginning I found
I was well and truly hooked.
There’s drama action romance with
quite a bit of steam to it and of cause
a little darkness to round things off nicely.
I also found the narrators are easy to listen
to and very understandable.

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!
