Saint

By: A. Zavarelli

Narrated by: Tracy Marks

Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's Summary

Scarlett....

When going to war, there are three very simple rules one must abide by.

1. Know thy enemy 2. Be prepared to sacrifice. 3. Always wear good shoes

After all, revenge is a dish best served in stilettos.

I've got an eye for it, and nothing's going to stand in my way.

Not even Rory "The Saint" Brodrick.

He's a fool if he thinks he can change me. By the time I'm through with him, I'll make his mafia look like child's play.

Cross me, Mr. Brodrick?

You better cross your heart and hope to die.

Rory....

I'm a fighter. A hustler. A mobster.

I've seen a few things in my day.

But I've never encountered anything like her.

She's a beauty with a beast of a heart. The poison apple I just can't resist. And in her trail she leaves a wake of men crawling on their knees.

What she doesn't know is that I like my women wild.

It only makes it that much more fun to tame them.

This is a dark mafia romance. A full-length standalone novel with HEA and no cheating.

Another amazing Boston Underground audio!

Picking the favorite among this series is seriously impossible. They're all fantastic, gritty, hot and memorable. Crow, Reaper, Ghost and now Saint are filled with fascinatingly flawed heroes and heroines that make you frustrated, heartbroken and hopeful.

Scarlett, I must admit, has probably been my favorite heroine so far. She's very broken but still full of grit, determination and more than her fair share of darkness. Rory is her weakness but he makes her strong and takes care of her. They prove that you don't have to be perfect to be loved, just find the person perfect for YOU to love.

Tracy Marks, as always, is amazing at this series. The voices and accents are incredible and her performance is emotional and gripping. Ashleigh Zavarelli's writing paired with Tracy Marks' voice acting makes this series a one-click buy for me. Every.damn.time.

The most enjoyable one for me yet.

Would you listen to Saint again? Why?

I loved this book so much. The story line is great and a little of step from the previous books so it kept everything fresh feeling for me.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rory! He just wanted what everyone wants, but he wanted it with the person who was least likely to give it... it all works ok ok I promise

What about Tracy Marks’s performance did you like?

Oh Tracy... you have killed any future boston set or Irish themed audio book for any narrator other than you! You nailed it, you performed the crap outta it, and you have officially become the best at the Boston Irish accent ever... dare I say even better than an actual Irish Bostonian? Maybe?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It was graphic regarding the context of the story, but it was necessary for the characters. It still pulls at your heart for what Scarlet has gone through.

Any additional comments?

This is a real beauty and the beast story. But sometimes the beast is the past, and the beauty is the overcoming of it. Sometimes the beast is survival and the beauty is the pain that pushed us there. And sometimes the beast is a women and the beauty is the love of a man despite her beastly side. This is a fantastic, gritty, and thoughtful story, so worth the credit, cash, and time. I received this audiobook from audiobook boom for my unbiased review for free.

Great Addition To The Boston Underworld Series

I have loved every single book from this series and I hope there will be more of them. Scarlett is such a damaged character and it is really hard to identify with her but Rory is a fighter and patient with her. It is a dark mafia romance but it does conclude with a HEA. It is a stand alone even though it is part of a series. There are several of the previous characters mentioned throughout the book.

The narrador is amazing! She is without a doubt one of the best I have heard. I love her accents and how well she performs. Truly awesome! The story is told in Dual POV which is my favorite. We know what both characters are thinking and feeling throughout the book.

I feel really bad for Scarlett. She was betrayed by someone she trusted and raped by 5 man who changed the corse of her life forever. She was raised by an upper class family but a pretty heartless mother. She left everything when she was a teen and never looked back. She carries that anger and plans on revenge even though several years have past. Rory is patient with her but even he has a limit to how much he endure. Scarlett is a liar and manipulator. Her games are getting old.

Great audiobook with a dark mafia romance theme.

Took a bit to get used to the dialect, Great Book

I received this audio book free for an honest review. I liked this book. Didn't love it, but it is the first I have listened to in this series. I already bought the first audiobook just so I can see how the series starts. I don't believe not listening to the previous books was a hindrance. The author did a great job of explaining the characters and how they fit in the story. Rory is so awesome and Scarlett beautiful. However, they are both crazy. Enjoyed how the author did such a good job writing their characters and personalities. The narrator did a great job with the New England accent and the individual characters.

I Absolutely a love This Series and Narrator

“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

I have every one of the Boston Irish mafia books and love each and every one. The men are connected through the Irish mafia and one the Russian. The women are either already friends or become friends. This book is about Scarlett and Saint. As in they other books there is an attraction, but the woman has something going on in her life that is a result of her past.
I loved Scarlett as she was so strong and appeared hard but there is a sweetest underlying. Saint is one of the sweeter mafia, love his give and take with his mother.
I Love Tracy Marks, her accents are great, the emotion so well provided for the characters and she does male and female perfectly.
YOU MUST GET EACH AND RVERY ONE OF THESE AUDIOBOOKS!!!

❤ can't wait for the next in this series already.

Tracy Marks narration continues to dazzle me as the perfect compliment to A. Zavarelli's fascinating stories. I wish all the movies I've watched recently were as perfectly cast as the way Tracy brings this book to life.
Ms. Zavarelli's stories continue to be captivating and original despite staying true to her amazing formula following the bad boys of this Boston underworld.
I think my favorite of this series is still Reaper, but this book of Scarlett and Rory's story comes a close second as I loved Scarlett's character for being so strong-willed and a little crazy. And I love the way Ms. Zavarelli brings in so many secondary characters that peak your interest. I'm not sure who's up next (Conner or Booker) but I already can't wait.
