Amazing and hilarious narration

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶
Duet narration: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved Riordan's story. The banter and emotion between him and Priscilla was top notch. The way the narrator protrayed Riordan's shock and suprise and sarcasm was absolutely brilliant, especially when reading Priscalla's romance books. 😂☠️

Hot!

This book was very entertaining. I really enjoyed the structure of the story. When there was spice, it was HOT. I loved how much Riordan was obsessed with her Pris. I loved that they had feelings from their past and meet later in life again. When he realizes who she is....and that moment... he has to have her!

Best part of this is : No cheating. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed
"She’s my enemy, but I’ll force her to marry me and sleep in my bed every night until she tells me the truth."

Logan Anare & Lexi Evans did an amazing job narrating this book! The Irish and Russian accents were so amazing pulling me into the story it was immersing. Tyler Griffin and Troy Duran were amazing also as side characters!

Another amazing audio installment

Audiobook review: narrated by Logan Anare and Lexi Evans
This series is full of wonderful characters and exciting plots. This one was amazing in large part due to a powerfully independent and fierce FMC. Priscilla/Pashta is a survivor turned warrior that I was rooting for from the very start. Riordan’s character was well balanced between an alpha protective MMC and a supportive partner allowing his woman to shine. I love the struggle each goes through as their relationship progresses. Once again we see how important family is as they all work together to look out for each other and their partners.
Wonderful narration with a wide range of accents. Both narrators really brought the emotions to the forefront and performed this story so well. I have Ben loving this series on audio!!

Book in whole?: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


This was my first time reading a book by Deborah Garland, I’m not sure it will be the last though. 

Riordan was probably one of my favorite book boyfriends now. His love and respect for Prissy as a teenager, and then the OTT personality when he realized it was her truly was amazing. Not going to lie, his accent? I was MELTING for Riordan.

Prissy was a little annoying. Maybe it was just the narrator or maybe it was the character, but she was so back and forth about what she wanted IMO. I understand why she was back and forth, she wanted revenge, but she also wanted the life she dreamt of with Riordan.

NOT hating on the book, and NOT hating on the characters, because I thoroughly enjoyed this book (listening to it while unpacking my new kitchen), but I guess I was just wanting more of them being together.

Definitely 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I need more of that man’s sexy accent!

Amazing story - love the O'Rourkes

If you think reading a Deborah Garland Irish Mafia book is fantastic, pop in your earbuds and listen to a duet audiobook recording. Aaaah, the Irish accents that will make you swoon, the grunts, the growls, the angry words, and then the sighs and shouts and the soft expressions of emotion. Utterly amazing. Sleeping with the Enemy is a compelling story, woven through with sadness and regret, yet also very sweet and tender, pretty dirty, and outrageously funny at times. And of course there’s the mob violence. This talented group of voice actors brings it all thrillingly and satisfyingly to life.

Riordan O’Rourke is the underboss of the Irish Mafia O’Rourke Family. Tough, mean, unsentimental, doesn’t get attached – all the things he needs to be to do his job. But he’s got some scars from 17 years ago that are never going to heal. Long story short: the girl he was falling in love with in that long ago time was kidnapped, violated and then disappeared. He saved her life, but what kind of life could she have after what happened to her. And he never saw or heard from her again. So Riordan keeps his heart to himself except where family is concerned. Never with the same woman twice, never allowing anyone to control him, never putting himself in the position of being hurt. Guilt is his daily companion, because although that girl felt the same about him, she was still young and when she approached him he pushed her away, and before he could explain she was out the door. What if? What if? What if? If she hadn’t left she wouldn’t have been accosted . . . and everything that followed is his fault.

Zip ahead those 17 years, and it’s at this point that author Garland speeds up the pace of the action and inserts so many twists and turns and unknown characters and springs so many surprises on you that you can hardly keep up. We have no idea where Priscilla is or what’s become of her, but Riordan has business with the Russian mob. The kept woman at the Russian leader’s side viscerally appeals to Riordan but as an object, not a woman. So imagine his surprise when as he’s leaving she comes outside to warn him he’s about to be killed – and then steps in front of a bullet meant for him. What is going on? Riordan takes her to his home for medical treatment and that’s when he discovers that the Russian slave Pasha is actually Priscilla. His Priscilla.

Garland’s stories are addictive, right from the first word. There are so many layers to Sleeping with the Enemy and Garland peels them back bit by bit. There is darkness and danger, surprises and secrets revealed, suspicion and anger. Priscilla has worked for years to get revenge for what was done to her. Riordan wants to wrap her up and hide her away, keep her safe and secure, but it’s been a long time, a lot has happened, their feelings were not clear to each other 17 years ago, and Priscilla suspects Riordan is as attracted to glamorous Pasha as much as ordinary Priscilla. As for Riordan, he is trying to process this deluge of feelings; all he knows is that he cannot lose her a second time.

Don’t analyze or judge or overthink, just enjoy listening and let the story overtake you and draw you in. So much deception and betrayal, almost unbearable suspense, family lost and family worth dying for, and in the midst of all this is a love story that will have you tearing up and sighing. The O’Rourkes win you over and somehow reconcile how even though they are murderers they aren’t menaces to society; they are decent human beings to the public. And family is everything, worth anything to protect and cherish.

It wouldn’t be a Deborah Garland book is it wasn’t also full of humor. Often inserted in an unexpected place, often inappropriate, and often laugh-out-loud funny. These are serious characters but they don’t always take themselves too seriously and they are hilariously perplexed and befuddled by their own emotions at time. I enjoyed every minute of this story and recommend it without hesitation. Back to the talented, excellent, narrators for a moment: Lexi Evans, Logan Anare, Tyler Griffin, and Troy Duran made the story so real I nearly binge-listened. Pacing, pronunciation, and the full range of emotions were all there and I felt whatever the character was feeling. Get to know the O’Rourkes, you won’t be sorry. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

Multiple spot on accents

The plot was really great, and the narrators did such a superb job of bringing the story to life for me.

Logan Anare's Irish was just spot on. Lexi Evans wasabsolutely fantastic and she was able to go back and forth between American and Russian accents.

Well done awesome performance

This was just a wonderful story and so so so much fun to listen to!

The narrators’ accents, emotion, everything was perfection!

The story had some really fun twists that kept me engaged and wondering "what next?" I'd call it a crime themed romance with 🐝D$M -lite elements.

I LOVED how incredibly kick@ss our FMC was! She went through the dang wringer and chose to use her experience and trauma to remold herself into a harder, stronger, fiercer version. And she was phenomenal!

Riordan, ugh! Delicious, delicious man! He's the perfect balance of absolute Alpha Male hard shell with a soft gooey heart buried underneath. Just yummy!

There's a few mentions of Ess A, so be forewarned!
