Publisher's Summary

Troy Brennan:

Every Southie in Boston knows that name. The son of a dead mobster. The heartthrob with steel-blue eyes. "The Fixer" who can make or break you in this city. Oh, and my new husband.

Sparrow Raynes:

That's me. No one seemed to remember my name up until he barged into my life. But then he caged me. Kidnapped me. And killed every chance I had to run away from the place where we grew up. Put simply, Troy Brennan clipped my wings. I have dreams, big ones, but I doubt he'll ever let me chase them. I have no idea why he decided to take me as his wife. But I do know this: pissing off this man will not do me any good. At all.

Sparrow is a standalone, full-length novel. It contains graphic violence and adult situations some may find offensive.

Wow

Wow. This book grabbed you from the beginning and kept you wanting to read till the end. So many secrets going on. Didn’t see the who done it till the end. This was a brilliant read. Narration was awesome too.

Gritty and raw!

My first book by L.J. Shen and loved it! The characters and story were gritty, raw and oh so hot. I couldn't turn the pages quick enough to find out how these two characters were going to end up! And the narration by Michael Pauley was amazing, my first of his but definitely not my last!

Another mind blowing story

Sparrow is breathtaking, compelling, heart wrenching, beautiful, glorious and spectacular. Michael Pauley why are you talking like Shirley and Laverne? Is that a Boston accent? It feels weird but you are amazing in your narrative accents and all

Good listen. Listen to sample before purchasing.

Good listen, would prefer dual narrator's. Boston accent was a let down. I generally enjoy LJ Shen books, this book wasn't on par for me with her other work.

Meh, give or take

It was ok book, I wasn't bored, but nothing special or exciting. If I really like a book I can listen to it on repeat, not this one.
