Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals Book 3) by Deborah Garland – Review by Tia Martel

Sleeping with the Enemy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Riordan O’Rourke has a reputation of being a dangerous man. He swears to protect his family no matter what and to keep his heart guarded.

When a meeting with another underboss goes wrong, a woman from his past lands bleeding at his feet after a bullet meant for him hits her.

Until now, no woman has ever captured his attention like she does. Every fiber of him screams she’s his, while every thing she is says she’s the enemy. Riordan forces her to marry him and keeps her in his bed demanding the truth, but even that won’t make him happy.

But, by now it’s too late and he won’t let her go without a fight.

Sleeping with the Enemy was a very different read for me. I normally shy away from Mafia Romance because they just aren’t something I typically enjoy. This was different.

I love the idea the Riordan is only a bad guy because he has to be. In a world where you’re born into royalty it’s hard not to follow in your family’s footsteps, even if that royalty is Mafia royalty.

The characters were interesting and I found myself rooting for the not-so-bad bad guys, which definitely is where you want to be with this kind of book.

If you enjoy possessive, but well meaning, men you should really enjoy this book. Pay attention to the trigger warnings though, because they won’t go easy on you in the pages. Happy reading!
