Guarding her Gangster Girl (The Colombo Family Duet: A Sapphic Mafia Romance Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 321 ratings

The last thing I thought I'd be doing in Vegas was protecting some wannabe gangster girl.

But as a rising star in the Consortium, an elite arms-trading organization, I do what I'm told. That's how I find myself gifted as a bodyguard to Brie "Breezy" Colombo, widow of a powerful Mafia Don, after someone takes a shot at her.

Everyone knows she's just a gold-digging trophy wife, her grief as fake as her long blonde hair, her perfect smile, and her…

Well, maybe
they’re real.

But as I shadow her through smoky backrooms and the glittering casino she now owns, I discover a Brie Colombo no one else sees—razor-sharp, ambitious, and intoxicatingly complex.

It's my job to keep her alive long enough to sign a lucrative contract with the Consortium on behalf of the Colombo Family. Instead, I find myself drawn into her quest for the truth about who really killed her late husband.

And each heated glance, each brush of her skin against mine, each forbidden moment we share, pulls me deeper into her world.

Soon I'm faced with an impossible choice: stay true to the Consortium and my life's ambitions, or risk everything for the woman who's rewritten every rule I thought I knew.

In Vegas, everything's a gamble…and Brie Colombo might just be the most dangerous bet I've ever made.


Guarding Her Gangster Girl is book one of the Colombo Family Duet, a steamy contemporary Sapphic mafia romance. Reader discretion is advised and content notes are available on the Copyright page.

    I love sapphic gangster books and this is no exception. Women being mob bosses is rare and a refreshing take on tradition. These women are just as deadly, gritty, and cunning. Conversely, they love and hate in equal measure. Family, I am green lighting this one. Happy Reading.

    Great story.

    Several times Holden is referred to as Hanson.

    Loved the BDSM Dom/Sub play, but there should have been a safe word established. Also an agreement for where it ends.

    Didn't mind the cliffhanger

    I really enjoyed the none stop action and the thrilling suspense of who killed Terry Colombo as well as who put out hits to kill Brie. Also liked the simmering romance between Brie and Dominika "Nik" Kusek. I was little disappointed that there were no specific detail of there height just vague description. Though it did not change my opinion of this story, or the number of stars given. I found this story very entertaining and exciting to read. I can't wait to read what happens next in book 2. I whole heartily recommend this story to everyone that loves a little danger with their romance.

    I am speechless at this book. So much going on and my heart almost jumping out of chest😳

    This was probably my least favorite of the duets by this author, which isn't saying much because it was still good, just didn't care for these characters as much as others.

    That was a crazy ride but that’s why I love PB stories. Just ordered book to 2 and I can’t wait what will Breezy will do to get out of her predicament.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tough and steamy mafia thriller
    Reviewed in Germany on December 3, 2024
    As usual with this author she divides the story into two books and of course the first part ends with a cliffhanger. Like her other mafia thrillers this one is full of suspense and quite a number of steamy scenes. The present tense is a bit disturbing, but once you get used to it, it’s a great story
