Reaper by A. Zavarelli
4.0
I have read four of the five Boston Underworld books by A. Zavarelli and I really enjoyed them. They are all kind of the same as in the HEA and kind of the same plot line but the characters are so vastly different. I have to say Reaper is my favorite out of all them. I really enjoyed Ronan and Sasha's story, especially Ronan's background story, his origins story, if you will. Ronan is such a dark and complicated character and reading him was so much fun.
Ronan is a killer and that is all he knows. He was born, he was taught to kill and that is his job, then he goes home and reads until he is needed for another job. His whole life is the Irish mob in Boston, he lives for carrying out the orders of his best friend and boss, Lachlan but then one night he see's Sasha and killing isn't the only thing on his mind. Sasha is stripper and works in the club that the Irish mob does their business in. She wants out and she wants to live a life free of gangsters and disgusting men but she has a thing for Ronan and the two of them share a deadly secret.
Ronan is so different from the other alpha males in the series and in most mafia romance books. Ronan has had a childhood and upbringing that is really unique and heartbreaking and how he goes about courting Sasha (if you want to call it that) is interesting, funny and heartbreaking all at once. I won't go into it anymore because I don't want to spoil Ronan's story because you have to read it. Ronan is really an awesome book boyfriend, a little awkward (a lot awkward) but ultimately he has become a fav of mine.
All of the Boston Underworld books are connected even though each book is its own story between only two characters but things going on in one book are going on in the background of the others. So it is important to read all them and I would suggest reading them in order. I did not. I read the last book, Thief, first and because I could tell that other stuff was happening simultaneously in the other books I decided to start from the first book and work my way through the series. It made understanding all the books much easier. This is a fun series to read and I highly recommend it.
