Publisher's summary

Wanting anything resembling what I had should suffocate me. 

Meeting my neighbor, Obrecht Ivanov, confuses me. The moment he walks through my door, I desperately want him to command me to kneel. I swore I would never return to anything like life with my ex-husband. So why do I feel as if I can’t breathe? 

Each passing day that I don’t cave into my desires, the tension in my soul exponentially tightens. I convince myself to go take care of it and stop the itch once and for all. Just one time and then I’ll be fine. 

It’s bad enough my ex-husband is doing everything in his power to find me. The choice I make puts me in a dangerous and vulnerable position. It’s a good thing Obrecht is always watching me. 

He’s my savage tracker....

Savage Tracker is the jaw-dropping fifth installment of the Mafia Wars series. It’s an interconnecting stand-alone dark mafia romance, guaranteed to have an HEA. Please note: This contains scenes and topics that may be uncomfortable for some listeners.

SORRY.. I JUST COULDN’T FINISH IT

This is just my opinion after making it to chapter 18 and deciding I really didn’t want to go any further, but sadly the storyline so far has really disappointed me. A physically and mentally abused divorcing wife/sub whose monster husband had treated her worse than a dog and left her confused, weak, vulnerable and ignorant about how a true submissive/dominant relationship should work. Now she’s under the protection of the Ivanovs.. and in particular 45 yr old Dominant Obrecht who has years of knowledge ‘under his belt’. They instinctively know (sexually) what the other is and soon Obrecht it’s teaching Selena e v e r y t h I n g he has to offer.. which won’t include a long-term commitment.

But, after 18 chapters of teaching and doing, I’m out.. because I want more from a story than 99% sex-related action. Oh, I’m sure the ex will come back to cause angst and that there’s bound to be Mafia drama along the way but, as well as the content, I didn’t like the h/h much and I totally lost interest. And yes, I see the submissive’s growth and the alpha Dom’s heart melt as trust and respect grows between them which slowly changes things. But, the talk.. talk.. talking about the lifestyle, fantasizing about it, getting the verbal Dummies Guide and Rule Book to it broken-down and explained and them participating in it at every opportunity, I was done and just didn’t want to hear any more. The dual POV narration by Kai and Wen wasn’t at fault because they were fine.

Worth a credit? I knew from the book’s Summary there was going to be SOME submission.. however, it and her body’s ‘feels’ seemed to be THE story and so not what I was expecting.. or wanting. Therefore it’s a hard no for me, not creditworthy.. but hey please remember this IS just my opinion and particular tastes - you may love it.

Savage

Absolutely love it. I have reread and registered to this book so many times. Love all of them.

Loved it

I got this out of order but you can do that with this series so it was alright. I’ll read the next one

Missing chapter, botched accents, inaccurate hospital scene

Aside from the botched accents by the female narrator, nobody does surgery in a licensed hospital without having their own blood in stock in their own blood bank.. no, family doesn’t have to rush to donate blood in the scenario that was presented. Aside from cringe moments like that, where the heck is the chapter describing payback for Jack? In the first few books Maggie Cole wrote in detail how they tortured and dealt with the crime boss.. is it coming in later books?

Keeps getting better

I have loved all the books, each one has only gotten better. The narrators for this one were some of the best. There were a few I almost didn’t purchase because of who narrated , but I wanted to know the rest of the stories so I trudged on through . Love how we learn more and more about families with each book.

A Predictable Plot BUT it’s still HOT 🥵

I read some previous negative reviews but I HAVE to disagree! Yes, it seems like a basic guide to a BDSM lifestyle. And the female character seems extremely naive and overly trusting of an older man that wants to dominate her without a commitment. This book would of been more interesting if she was a resilient survivor looking to spice up her sex life after ending an abusive relationship and numerous years of therapy. However, she comes across as a battered woman that is desperately seeking affection and trying to heal in the process. Is this a healthy approach…no! But this is a book 😆
So I’m enjoying the “build-up” between the characters and the incredible dual narration. Plus I do not understand how anyone could listen to Wen & Kai and NOT get the “feels” 🤷🏽‍♀️

very good

Obrecht & Selena

Savage Tracker is the latest installment of the Mafia War series by Maggie Cole. Obrecht and Selena's story is dark, but it also shows that there is light after the storm. Selena's past has left her emotionally and psychologically scarred. With Obrecht's help she overcomes that pain and fear and learns what real love is.

Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott do an amazing job performing this book. This is one hot book, grab a glass of wine while listening to this one!

BRILLIANT way to end the series 💕

🎧📚 Narrators Wen Ross & Kai Kennicott.
Maggie has done amazing job on narrators especially on this one. this book is very emotional read and they performed it BRILLIANTLY. Selena is confused on BDSM & Obrecht helps her understand what is wrong & correct. You can feel Selena's confusion & embarrassment on how she was so naive to may TWAT Jack. Feel Obrecht protective nature over her & BLOOD CURDLING ANGER towards Jack. Frustration over Liam telling him he can't kill him until the O'Malley's new money is in place. Wen & Kai you did beautiful job and your voice work together nicely. Both did good impressions on male & female voice for each other. FULL MARKS

We have saved the best Ivanov for last AND my favourite character Obreacht & Adrian's mam Svetlana. She just makes me smile and she loves bridals magazines😆 I am happy she found some to love too

Now back to the loved birds Obrecht & Selena. Selena's story with touched on with Kora in Cruel Enforcer. But we see more what cruelty & abuse she was under by her ex husband Jack. He took her away from her home country, Greek Islands. Then her family turn their backs on her. She is truely alone and she got use to it in the 10 years she was with him.

Obrecht was a signed to watch over Selena & he is a brilliant tracker. He is a good man and this friendship with Selena develops into something more. He wants to help understand the BDSM world and what it truly means to he top & bottom. He asks his friend Carla to help Selena understand the world & have someone to talk to. She is a therapist & she helps alot of people the BDSM community that suffer from adsuse etc. He push her in the right direction to understand herself & to live again

Their story is a page turner because you want to know does she understand the world & help to move past vicious memories & nightmares. Obrecht is patient with her until she was ready. Their love story is steamy & their undying love is breathe taking especially when....no spoilers...

What Maggie did in this book was mean because, Obrecht & Selena are happy and I love then BANG !! The villains come in when they are happy and in love but don't worry he gets his girl back. BUT BUT BUT there is still a mystery around O’Malley's new money and how it links to TWAT Jack a.k.a Selena ex husband...

Yes the suspense killed in this one especially when it was certained around the wars in Chicago. Ivanov & O’Malley's are getting ready for it...

We also got little hints of Liam & Hailee 😍 yes I will admit Liam is my favourite 🥰

The last line of the book got me VERY EXCITED🍀Liam's story is coming!!

☆MUST READ & FAV☆

WOW! JUST WOW!

This book has been educational,/ intruding/ hot/hot / HOT!

I am slowly making my way thru this series, and and after Maxim and his brothers stories, I thought that the intrigue would tail off. I adored Adrian's story, but this story was all about Selena for me, and I have to say I would love to watch this book as a film.
On to the next book for me immediately!

Age Gap Dark Mafia Romance

This is the fifth book in the Mafia Wars Series, an Age Gap Dark Mafia Romance. This is a standalone romance in an interconnected series. Selena and Obrecht's story is well written, and emotional. They share a sizzling chemistry. Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross did an amazing job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to Unchosen Ruler, the next book in the Series.

An Age Gap Dark Mafia Romance

Savage Tracker by Maggie Cole is an age gap dark mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott. This is the fifth book in the Mafia Wars series. The book can be read as a standalone but the stories are interconnected.

I absolutely love Maggie's books! She does an amazing job pulling me into the story. I loved the relationship that bloomed between Selena and Obrecht. The chemistry between them was off the charts. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Unchosen Ruler to be released on September 1, 2021 so I can get Liam and Hailee's story.

Kai and Wen did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you love mafia romances, dark romances, age gap romances, or romantic suspense.

Gripping storyline

This is a well written storyline. These characters seem to grow so much with each book that goes by. It was a heartbreaking yet necessary insight into the world of someone who has been mistreated in a previous relationship. I can’t get enough of these characters and this world that has been created by Maggie well done. Absolutely fantastic performance from both Kai and Wen.

fabulous

I love this series and just can't say enough good about it, I've listened to 4 now and feel like I know them lol ,I need to listen to the next one when it's available, I'm hooked

Phemomonal!

Maggie Cole! This was an amazing listen! The final chapter in the Ivanov family part of Mafia Wars, we are treated to Obrecht's story. The Savage Tracker is a strong, alpha dom, but when he meets Selena we get to see a different side of him. Selena has come out of an abusive marriage, and is having difficulty adjusting to her new life. After years of physical and mental abuse, it isn't easy for her to move on. Obrecht's frustration is evident at times, but his incredible patience and determination to help her is beyond beautiful. These two share a connection like none of the other couples. Their frank discussion and honesty had me captivated throughout the story. Add in the family dynamic of the Ivanov mother, the garage, the deal with Liam and the explosive ending of the story are all reasons I love this series. All the books are set at during the same timeline, which is so much fun, as we get to see and remember the others as their stories also came together. This is a fantastic series and I think this is my favorite couple so far! I can't wait to see where the O'Malley faction is going to take us next!

Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross are one of my favorite teams, and their performance of this book is fantastic! Kennicott plays Selena, her accent spot on and her brokenness coming through with ease. But what I truly loved was the underlying strength she has in her voice letting us know exactly the kind of woman Selena is. Complimenting her performance, Wen uses his Russian accent, one of my favorites of his, as Obrecht. The alpha male is protective, yet Ross comes through with a tenderness that is unmistakably beautiful. I loved their portrayal of the story!
