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.

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.

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)

Good. God.

So first let’s just talk about TRACY MARKS.... wow I have to say I love the dual narrators usually BUT Tracy Marks blew me away!! Normally I find it hard to listen to a woman do a mans POV but that’s soooo not the case in this audiobook! Even if the story wasn’t great she alone would have probably saved it for me.

The story was GREAT and so interesting. I really had not expected some of the twists in this one. I love that the main characters were so easy to like and the Mackenzie was such a strong female character. Im so sick of whiny girls boo hooing all the time 🙄 my only complaint was no epilogue!! Ugh that kills me. I wanted more of their story!!

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.

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! :-).

This series is awesome!!

I admittedly listened to this series out of order, as I listened to Reaper first because of a friends recommendation. But after listening to Reaper, I had to go back and listen to Crow too. Wow! Both books are so well done. These books have everything- a great story that is well written, strong and believable heroines, hot heroes, and superb narration. Hands down the best series I have heard in a long time. Can't wait for the next book!

Darn!! Not what i was hoping for

Well I was hoping this story stayed along the line of the tough girl fighting for vengeance.
Unfortunately this followed the story of falling in love. I really wished it didn't. It wasn't bad if I want that sort of thing but unfortunately it was disappointing. From how it starts out seeking the murderer of her father fighting the badass Irish and to find her missing friend talia. Mackenzie gets soft, the it got hard to listen too , for me.

Misrepresented as a mystery

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes, this was represented as a mystery but it's really a graphic sex/romance novel. Not my taste at all. I thought the narrator was excellent but became so bored with the constant sex scenes and sexual tension between the 2 protagonists that I shut it off half-way through and deleted it from my devise.

What was most disappointing about A. Zavarelli’s story?

Constant sex scenes and little else. This was supposed to be a mystery. I got so bored with the sex scenes I finally gave up on the mystery... Where was it?

Did Crow inspire you to do anything?

Yes, to delete it from my device
