Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals Book #3) by Deborah Garland – Review by Angela Hayes

4.5 Stars

Sleeping With the Enemy is the third book in the Astoria Royals Series by Deborah Garland. This story is every bit as wonderful as I had expected from Ms. Garland, as she certainly knows how to weave a riveting story. It is a gripping contemporary Mafia romance with a second chances element, forced marriage, action, violence, chemistry, steam, danger, drama, tension, mafia politics, intensity, emotion, and suspense. Also keep in mind that there are sensitive subject matters contained in the story (abuse, sexual assault etc) so if you have triggers make sure to read the TW before diving in.
OMG- I can’t believe that this is the third book in a series, and I have only just discovered it and am yet to read the other two books. I have read and adored many of Ms. Garland’s previous books, so I will definitely be going back to devour the other two books asap before continuing the rest of the series.
The story certainly starts off on a very intriguing note that hooked me right from the outset. I was soon engrossed in all the developments, glued to the pages as I followed along to see how everything would play out in the end. I have always said that one of the things that Ms. Garland does really well is that she’s able to get her reader to completely invest in her characters and their story, whilst also crafting her story with palpable tension, as well as plenty of emotion..
I can’t wait to explore the rest of the series now. Highly recommend this gripping story, especially if you love a great Mafia romance.
Happy reading…

Thank you, Deborah Garland!
