I'm not sure where to start with this book!
A story that goes straight to the heart! A book I recommend to anyone who likes a bit of romance and hard ass men!
Evelyn is a sheltered girl living in the world of Mafia. A man name Rocco comes to live with them in America after fleeing from Italy. She was 16 and fell instantly in love. The story is strong, intense, loving and enticing.
By the end I had a huge lump stuck in my throat, it felt like I was living Evelyn's life with her.

When I was approached by the author a couple of months ago, to see if this book interested me enough to read and review it, I was honored to read it. [When an author reaches out to me, I feel quite chuffed at the fact they trust my thoughts honestly]
The book
Evelyn was a 16 year old girl, she's not that naive though, she is surrounded by Mafia, the secret world of the Mafia.
Rocco is the guy we meet in the story, he flees from Italy, [he has his reasons]....
and comes to live in America where he is ...more
Wow! Although we know a little about Evelyn from Fallen Angel Parts 1&2, this book highlights her life from age 16-20. We are also introduced to the love of her life, Rocco.
This novella was such an emotional roller coaster for me. I really felt for this woman, even though her story reflects events that took place close to 30 years ago. The time she had with Rocco was not enough, not nearly enough, yet it was enough to last her a lifetime. I really wish she could have spent her life with ...more

Evelyn is a novella and based around one of the characters in the Fallen Angel series. It concentrates on one aspect of Evelyn's life, one that had a great impact on her and shaped her to be the woman she became. It's not a happy story, but this 'event' brought Robert Stone into her life. A man who was to become so very important to her and the man that would give her the happy ending she deserved, just not in the way you would imagine.
This is the first novella of this series that I have read of this series and I truly loved it. The characters of Evelyn and Rocco are vivid and their love affair is heartbreakingly poignant. However, being a member of a mafia family and loving a man in the life is problematic in many ways. Evelyn falls for Rocco at the tender age of sixteen and he for her. When she turns eighteen it is game on and they dance around each other and hide their relationship, which is also problematic. Not one for

This is one of those books that’s been slipped into a series and I can honestly say that if you've decided to read this book before reading the Fallen Angel series, it won’t spoil the flow of this beautifully written trilogy.

Wow!!! I have only read a handful of novella in the past that pack a load of emotion into every page this novella being one of them!! I loved this book it took me on a rollercoaster of emotions, the main characters had a strength that I loved given their past circumstances and the situation they found themselves in, and all the way through reading this I hoped they would find the future they would dream of but knowing from the start that not all things work out as we hope.

Evelyn knows that what she feels at age 16 is more than just a crush, its true love. She keeps those feelings buried for two years, scared of what her Dad would think and unsure if Rocco felt the same way. When the feelings are reciprocated the connection they share is strong and they fight to keep it, but life doesn’t always give you the happily ever after you deserve.

This book is about Evelyn It showing you when she meets the love of her life and how her family ran. It also showed all the insides of what she had to go through just to be the person she was meant to be. She loved her family so much but she needed more for herself as well.

I heard the words, of course, but they didn’t register. I just stood, shaking my head, trying to dislodge them from my ears, from my brain. I heard my father rise from his chair and then I heard a strange noise, an animalistic, guttural, sound. It took a while before I realized the sound was coming from me. I couldn’t get my breath...
If you ever can, Evelyn, please visit. I want to know the woman that my son loved so deeply.

I was given this book to Beta-Read, and I enjoyed every last sentence and comma of it.
Evelyn can be read as part of the series or as a stand alone book, it tells the dramatic and hauntingly tragic story of Evelyn and the love of her life - Rocco; before she meets the scorchingly sexy Robert Stone and his faithful friend and confident Travis.

Such a heartbreaking story... Beautiful!
I'm always amazed when reading one of Tracie's books how perfectly and withouth any force she creates a heroine wich deep down we all crave to be. So strong but passionate and warm. Evelyn is one of them and although she'd lost what she loved so much, she's always there for others. And I'm not quite sure who helped who more: she or Robert?

Superb, absolutely superb. Would write more but I can't see through the tears... Just know this is a beautifully penned story that I highly recommend
I will say this book is a proper heart puller - with tradegy of her loss of her mother and how her sheltered life of being brought up within the world of the mafia, then Evelyn discovers her true first love, Rocco.
Evelyn's feelings are buried at first due to her age but when she becomes 18, she cant hide no more, but does Rocco feel the same way?
With such an intense storyline and with Evelyn's upbringing what would her dad think of her becoming involved with Rocco?

Wasn't the ending I saw coming!!
I love to read mafia books and this one was a good short story. This story included enough backstory so we had a good idea of the family life and the relationship between Rocco and Evelyn. As we watched the relationship grow between the 2 it wasn't like the typical mafia couple. In the end it was a bit surprising and emotional how the relationship turned out. This book really showed how people can change when faced with traumatic situations. This was great fast ...more

I am a new reader for Tracie Podger. It was really well written and I loved it which is unusual since I tend to avoid Mafia stories. I know it was a Novella that could be read as a standalone but also allowed another story have more background, but I am so sad that Rocco and Evelyn didn't get their chance. They were so sweet together and I loved how rough he was with others (from Evelyn's POV) yet so gentle and soft with her. And the letter . . . . OMG Heartbreaking. I will be looking forward to

I really like this book. The story quickly drew me in and held me captive until I turned the last page. This is a beautiful story and I cried, I had to go in search of tissues. The story is well told with believable characters. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Evelyn
A sweet story full of love, heartbreak and happiness. It was a story that swept me off my feet and will likely stay with me for a while.
I enjoyed the characters and their journey but most of all I enjoyed the emotions the story invoked.

Several days later I still do not have an answer to this question. In fact this book has left me with more questions than answers about Evelyn and her choices.
Evelyn is well written and there is good character development. There is a bit of mystery and intrigue (Mafia connection) along with some romantic angst. Evelyn, although sheltered in many ways has a strong will and a good ...more

As a reader, I often have mixed views on a release of a novella. I sometimes feel cheated out of a full story, or disappointed it wasn't included in the regular novel. Tracie Podger's release of Evelyn is a wonderful supplement to the Fallen Angel series. Evelyn is the big sister, motherly figure in Brooke and Robert's story. I loved her as a secondary character and was intrigued to read her story. We find out about her late teens, growing up in "the family". We discover as a young girl, Evelyn

This is the second book of Tracie Podger's which I have read. I thought the first one was brilliant but this one was even better. I highly recommend it
I love Eveyln's strength of character and determination, especially when it comes to Rocco and her instant attraction to this mysterious, dark and extremely sexy man.
Rocco won my heart from the start of the book when he sweeps in to protect Evelyn's honour, in such a small way, but it made me swoon. He is the man for me so Evelyn can just step ...more
