About this listen
A scorching STANDALONE Irish Mafia SECRET CHILD and AGE GAP Romance. available in Duet Narration/Full Cast Audio!
Hitman X Single Mother (His kid!)
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. He thinks he's too broken and doesn't deserve love. But when the roads flood, we’re trapped, and there’s only one bed, I’ll prove to him he's worthy and we belong together.
All of us. Me, him, and our daughter…

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.

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.

It's the dog's fault, really. If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here: With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it. (Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.) He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

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.

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.

“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.

Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

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.

Amazing story
Sinful vows is a mafia age gap romance and dual POV narration which I love!! Might I also add that the narratiors both have beautiful Irish accents, it makes the books 100% more appealing. The story starts 5 years in the past with Darcy getting left at the pub by her friend so she sneaks a key at the inn and goes to sleep. But is woken by a large handsome man who asks why she’s in his bed. Her body comes alive at the sight of him and she decides that this older man is who will be her first even if he’s gone back to the States the next day. Back to the present and Ewan is back in Ireland to bring a woman with Quinlan blood to strengthen family ties. The twists and turns and yearning in this book is too notch. There’s tension, drama, desire, longing and a HEA at the end of this amazing book.

vows
I enjoyed the dual narration of Lexi Evans, DB West and Troy Duran
Years ago Darcy had her one night stand with a stranger, never believing it would change her life. Ewan believed he would never married or having a family. He is a solider and best friend to the Irish Mob boss, but he’s not kin. To secure his family’s protection, Ewan must offer the king a wife of his bloodline. He travels to Ireland to find a woman that is hidden in the family records. It is Darcy the woman from a hot one night stand. The two can not help the growing attraction and keeping their hands off each other.
Secrets get revealed and a new addition to the family.

Forbidden Age Gap Mafia Romance
Sinful Vows by Deborah Garland is a forbidden age gap secret child mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Lexi Evans, DB West, and Troy Duran. This is the first book in the Astoria Royals series.
I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Ewan and Darcy. It was extremely messy, but I couldn't help but root for them. I loved getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
Lexi Evans, DB West, and Troy Duran did an amazing job on the narration. I loved that they performed this book as a duet narration. It really brought the 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, forbidden romance, age gap romance, or dark romance.

Meant to Be!!
Sinful Vows by Deborah Garland is the first book in the Astoria Royals series. As of right now there are 6 books in the series with the 7th releasing on July 19, 2024. The audio of Sinful Vows was released recently as well as a new edition, June 30, 2024. I am reviewing the audio but the review will stand for the ebook as well.
Sinful Vows is the story of Ewan and Darcy. Ewan is a hitman for the Irish mafia and Darcy is well, she is his kin, let’s just leave it at that. Darcy lives in Ireland and has a chance meeting with Ewan, five years later and he comes back and changes her life. Ewan needs a wife for his best friend and boss. He finds Darcy and she is the only age-appropriate Quinlan left to marry off. After a rainstorm and being stuck in the house together things change not just for Darcy but for Ewan.
I enjoyed this story. I would recommend heeding the authors trigger warnings. There is sudo-incest and a secret child. So if either of those are not your cup of tea, skip this one. However, if you are like me and have no triggers check this one out. It is a pretty quick and easy read and it made me eager to read the rest of the Astoria Royals series. I hope to get a bit more of Ewan and Darcy in the series. I enjoyed their internal struggles and the push and pull between the two of them.
I rated this story four stars. It didn’t have any kind of surprises or “it” factors that would make it a five star read for me but it is good nonetheless and worth reading! I listened to an ALC (advanced listener copy) of this story and I liked the narration. I am a big audiobook listener so I have a lot of experience with good and bad narration. This narration is good and since I am not Irish and am not very familiar with the accent I thought it was presented well by the narrators. It is also a dual narration which you don’t hear much of and I liked it!
So, if you don’t mind the triggers, like the tropes, and like an accent check this one out!!

Great Irish accents 🔥
Another book that I enjoyed from Deborah but,I have to admit that I liked Savage King a little better.
Darcy and Ewen meet in the sinfulness of ways and ened up making a permanent connection. 5 years later when Ewen goes to Ireland to get a wife for his boss,he finds Darcy again. The lust and chemistry is still there between them, enough where he finds it's too hard to let her go.
The forbidden aspect was just right,I found myself yelling "she's not really related by blood!" 😂.
If you like all the tropes and a short story with smallish plot then will love this read . Guaranteed with a sweet happy ending🖤

one night stand
This is a compelling story of life in the mafia and a one-night stand. I could not wait to see how this book ended. It does contain some violence and rape that occurred in the past, not with the main characters. Darcy spent one night with a man she did not know. Five years later he is back to talk her into marrying his best friend.

Sinful
What a messy relationship we have here! Ewan and Darcy turn out to be relatives! What Ewan doesn’t know is that Darcy is not a blood relative and has a child now! He is unaware that this child belongs to him due to an accident. Ewan is very protective of Darcy and will do anything and everything to keep her safe. He finds it very hard to give her up to his best friend who needs a wife.
What happens when the truth comes out and all the secrets are revealed? Loved getting both points of view and really made the story better.

Must be fate
Wow! I loved this book when I read it but the audio version truly brought these characters to life for me. Fantastic duet performance and the accents are spot on. Eoghan and Darcy meet, have amazing chemistry and a truly HOT one night stand. 5 years later they meet up again under some messed up circumstances and that zing is still there. They both have secrets they are keeping but passion trumps all. This book is a wonderful start to this mafia series. I love all the spice, drama and taboo of their coupling. I couldn't stop listening. A definite 5 star must read/listen.

Sinful vows
A pretty great story ! I loved how these two characters met and Darcy being a teen virgin and Ewan who was there to let go of his sister s ashes. One long night they had together was just the beginning. I couldn’t only imagine the shock Ewan had 5 years later. And boy there was a big surprise waiting for him not only that but a love that was so strong for Darcy the steamy scenes were definitely nice.. I could not stop listening to this audiobook. The narrators did a wonderful job . Their accents spot on. I really enjoyed this book .

Great series starter
Audiobooks review: Narrated by Lexi Evans and DB West featuring Troy Duran
This was a great way to start the series. I listened to book two before this one (absolutely loved it) and can confirm that each can be read as a standalone without losing anything in the storylines. This book focuses on Ewan and Darcy. Darcy, as a young woman in a small town in Ireland, decides to throw caution to the wind and has a ONS with a stranger from out of town. She finds out years later that they in fact share quite the connection. I really enjoyed this story. Deborah Garland dances a fine line between forbidden and tab0o and I loved every second of it. It added such a thick layer of angst that had me unable to stop listening. Their predicament lends plenty of drama to the plot and the extracurricular activities are hot and heavy.
The audio aspect adds so much to this book!! I was so pleased with the Irish accents and was sad that this book was not twice as long because I loved listening to this story so much. The duet aspect adds a lot in terms of entertainment value and at times I felt like I was watching these scenes play out in my mind and not just hearing them. I cannot wait to continue this series on audio!!
