Publisher's summary

An Irish mobster. A missing friend. Two loyalties, ripping me apart.

I had a plan.

Get in, get my information, and get out. Easy, right?

Turns out, infiltrating the Irish mafia isn't exactly what I thought it would be. I just wanted a soldier. Someone I could flirt with to get me in the door.

That's when Lachlan Crow noticed me. Problem was, he wasn't a soldier. No, he was next in line for the throne of the Irish underworld. And he was determined to hate me from the outset. My sob story about needing a job? Yeah, he wasn't buying that either.

Too bad for him, I won't let anyone get in the way of my mission.

Who cares if we have some kind of crazy chemistry? He's the worst kind of wrong - and I would never in a million years be with a guy like him.

Because they took her from me, and I'm going to make them pay.

Love....Against All Odds. 💕

This book has so much going for it.....an interesting deep plot, likable characters, bad guys, action, suspense, love, and mystery. It's the kind of book that keeps you on the edge. You never know what to expect. It's a true "escape". The kind of story that you know would never be personally real but you enjoy the diversion. 😀 Loved the ending. 💑

I liked this book but call me a romantic....because I still enjoy stories that have more romance than sex. I know...I know...you're going to say "but this is a Mob story"....yes, I guess I would expect some sex, but when there is so much explicit sex in a book it can take away a lot of the sensual build up....the anticipation. But...even still, this is a well written story filled with suspense and the rawness of gangsters 😬.

The narration was perfect. Each voice was unique and the accents were quite good. Doesn't get much better. Great job! 🐾

(Note: This book has explicit sex and strong language. Adults only recommended)

An Edgy, Intense, Gripping Five Star Romance!

Wow, I loved this story, and have so many great things to say about Crow which was written by A. Zavarelli and narrated by Tracy Marks. This story deserves all Five Stars, and if it was possible to give more stars, I would.

~ Crow has an edgy and intense plot told from both Mac and Lachlan's POV's. The story moves at a great pace, and has all kinds of twists. Mac goes in "unofficially" uncover to get information about her missing friend where she meets one of the leaders Crow Lachlan; however, she soon learns once you enter the mafia, you do not leave unless you go out in a body bag or if they will allow it.

~ The attractions between Lachlan and Mac was immediate, raw, intense, and they were drawn to each other like a moth to a flame. Regardless of the secretes or mistrust between them, the sex scenes were primal, raw, and full of need. Lachlan dominated while Mac wanted to please.

~ I could feel my anxiety building waiting for the moment when Lachlan learns of Mac's betray, and really wanted to take few breaks throughout the story from all the intensity but was helpless and had to keep listening.

~ There is great character development throughout the story, and you got to know some of the characters and what they have been through.

~ The narrations by Tracy Marks is remarkable, and you could tell she put a lot of effort into narrating this story. I loved the accents and how each character had their own voice. She did a great job of projecting the different emotions throughout the story.

I've never been big fan of contemporary romances; however, this story was amazing, really held my attention, and could just possibly sway to the contemporary side. I highly recommend this story to fan of contemporary stories and likes them slightly on the darker side or with a mafia themes. Well worth my time! :-).

4 Crowtastic Star’s

First wow on the narration blew me away. I am a HUGE sucker for accents. (Hey I am Canadian what can I say) I don’t know how Tracy Marks did it but I could have sworn Lachlan was really talking in the Irish lilt!

Duel POV’s was awesome for this book, you really got to know each character and their struggles with their feelings toward each other and the situations they are in.

Mack is concerned for her friend, and the police have done all they can do. But Mack can’t take that as being it. She knows something is wrong even after a year. So she takes matters in to her own hands.

She needs to get Intel, and the only way to do that is to put herself in the path of Lachlan. He’s an Irish mobster. Get in and get out, only it’s never that easy esp. when those pesky feelings come into play.

This was a wild ride; I did find some parts to drag just a little too much. And I can’t believe I am going to say this, but even some of the sexy times just felt forces to be there not authentic. I know, what am I saying.

But overall I enjoyed the heck out of this book, and will even recommend it. The suspense and what’s going to happen next really grabs you and won’t let you go. Oh did I say Irish accent because Hello IRISH ACCENT :D

This Will Burn So Good

So hot, it might burn! The Boston Underground is a steamy, sexy and dark mafia romance series that makes bad guys seem almost good... or at least, incredibly alpha males that will make you swoon. Oh, and definitely listen to this series - the narrators are amazing and enhance the story.

Dark and Mysterious

Not typically a fan of dark romance, I find myself pleasantly surprised by this first book in the Boston Underworld series.

I will admit that it took me a little longer to get invested into the story, but in the end, I didn't want to reach the conclusion. Luckily for me, the series continues.

Tracy Marks is surprising as the narrator. She is able to fully convince me with her male character's. And her accents are fascinating and I believe spot on.

Great Book, AWESOME Narration!

This book was hard to rate because I loved so much of it but In between that I found it dragged a little too. It wasn't a lot but there were a few parts in the beginning that I wondered if it was going to pick up and go anywhere. There we also a few "out there" things that I just couldn't find believable. In the end I decided I enjoyed all the other stuff so much more than I disliked those few little things. This book has it all from danger to love and a super hot sexy couple with secrets! The narrator Tracy Marks was great, I love her voice and enjoyed her accents in this book.

Wow!!! Just Amazing! One Of The Best!

This audiobook truly deserves over 5 stars! The author created an amazing story! I could not put it down. I was on the edge of my seat and what an amazing Rollercoaster ride it was! I was supposed to go to bed early last night! So much for that!

It has everything I look for in a book: action, danger, intrigue, suspense, drama, and romance! It is written in a Dual POV which I prefer. To top it off it also has A HEA ending! I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. Definitely a credit worthy audiobook!!!

The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. I felt like she nailed the accents! The characters are well developed and you get to know Mack & Lachlan well.

Nothing unique about this story...

I was disappointed after all the 5 star reviews I read. To me this was erotica with little to no storyline, a strong Boston accent and Irish brogue with a sprinkling of fake Russian in the mix of this narration. I am not interested in continuing on with the series.

Intense, Hot, Sexy, Gripping

Crow is devastatingly beautiful. Lachlan Crow is intoxicating as we learn the dark secrets of the Boston underworld. This Irishman is pure male, full of tradition, devotion and honor.

Mackenzie Wilder is a tough as nails girl with a heart of gold. Trying to solve the answers from the inside out, Mack decides to go looking deep inside the Irish Mafia. Her grit and determination had me from the start. With her wicked right hook, and smart mouth, she is quite the contender for Lachlan Crow.

I had to remind myself to breathe. Crow is intense, sexy and gripping. This crazy, wild ride is filled with twists and turns. Captivating and strategically placed characters keep you intrigued as the storyline unfolds.

Author A. Zavarelli is a gifted and talented writer. I’m in disbelief of her remarkable story telling ability. I floated away on butterfly wings feeling protected by the Crow.

Narrator Tracy Marks nailed this stunning performance. She provided a seamless transition for character to character. The accents were the perfect touch. Her emotionally charged performance kept me on edge.
