I figli devono pagare per le colpe dei padri
(Children must pay for the sins of the fathers)
Robert Stone has an identity. After discovering his father, a far greater dynasty was forged.
But with this dynasty comes new enemies.
From the olive groves of Italy to the boardrooms in Washington, D.C., Robert is to command a business like no other.
Not all wars are fought on a battlefield, most are won in the corporate arena.
Not all wars are bloody – unless you threaten Robert’s family, of course.
Told from Robert Stone and Rocco Sartorri’s point of view, Fallen Angel, Part 5 picks up from the end of Part 4 and explores a unique relationship.
Two powerful men, both with secrets and enemies, come together in this explosive story of revenge, lost love, and hate that spans thirty years.
A Mafia romantic suspense for readers over the age of 18
I would like to thank Tracie Podger for writing a brilliant installment to Fallen Angel.
Robert Stone has just found the father he never thought he had. Rocco Sartorri has just met his son for the 1st time in years. What happens when these 2 meet up and work together?
Well, when we thought Fallen Angel 4 was the last installment, Tracie Podger seems to throw a spanner in the works with this installment. In this installment it's based on Robert and Rocco's accounts of their lives. The past 30 years for Rocco and the now with Robert. We see Evelyn and Rocco come back together again, we see what Father and Son can really achieve together and we see a family torn apart because of the family feuds of Italy and DC. Now I can't wait to see what happens in the next part of this Fallen Angel series.
Italy , the mistress that Brooke can no longer compete with was consuming her husband. He changed when he was there, and she wasn't sure the Band Aid she’s placed over their fractures was man enough to hold.
There was something about Italy that was both loved and hated for very different reasons by Brooke and Robert Stone. For Robert, Italy was in his blood, she ran through his genes, tantalising, calling to him constantly.
After a month apart, Brooke and Robert are reunited and it isn’t all smooth sailing.
Devastation, pain, and more hurt than the couple could ever imagine is to be endured, but can they walk hand-in-hand from it this time?
Does Italy and the change in Robert become too much for Brooke to cope with?
A continuation of the Fallen Angel series and for readers over the age of 18.
I would like to thank Tracie Podger for another enthralling part of the Mafia Romance that is Fallen Angel.
It's been a few months since Robert was arrested, Brooke has no idea where he is, til he tells her he's in Italy. She don't know what to say to him other than hurtful words. Then Gerry and her go to see him, tries to spend family time together to get back on track, but Robert's other family life (his Italian side) are taking him away. What happens when they find a woman at the place that Robert has bought? Who is she? What & who is she hiding from and can Robert & Travis help her and sort out the other problem that is haunting BOTH the men? What happens when Robert can't keep a lid on his emotions? What happens to Travis and what is his connection with the new woman in his life? Can Brooke and Robert ever salvage their marriage or has Robert lost everything? All will be revealed when you read the next installment of Fallen Angel.
*I found this installment to be funny at parts, laughed a bit (when needed), cringeworthy (at what Robert and Travis remember). But most of all I loved how the characters was all there for each other at their hour of need. Can't wait to see if Tracie Podger does anything more with the story and other characters.
It’s six months after Becky assisted the Major Crimes Unit in the raid on Haven and things are going well for her. She has just one thing playing on her mind; who is stalking her? The Unit, still run by Emma, is looking for the perpetrator of some gruesome killings. The heartless perpetrator has been dubbed by the papers as The White Rose Killer. Will they stop him before he kills again? Stefan is still on the run but is determined to find his brother, Jerry. But will Jerry welcome him or turn his back on the man responsible for the abduction and false imprisonment of several women? Theresa, who has been held captive for several years, wonders if she will ever be free.
I would like to thank Victoria Taylor for writing another brilliant installment of the Rebecca Filmore series.
It's 6 months since Haven was uncovered with Rebecca Filmore's help. Things have started to get back to normal, but Becky has a stalker. He's calling her, sending her things to her work and her home. Who is he and what lengths will he go to, to make her his? Someone is killing women and leaving white roses on them? Will Emma and the gang find out who it is and be able to stop him before the next woman is found dead? Stefan is on the run still and wants to find his brother Jerry. Can Stefan find him and make a relationship work with Jerry or will Jerry turn his back on Stefan? Billy is behind bars, but is stewing as his dad (Stefan) wasn't caught, will he say anything or will Jerry (his counselor) be his way out of jail? Who is Theresa? Who is holding her captive? Will she ever be found?
You need to read the 1st installment in order to catch up with the storyline, but when you do, this 2nd installment will have you riding the rollercoaster of what happens next for Rebecca Filmore?
World War 2 is drawing to a close and German soldier Aldrich Renke is part of a squad launching V2 rocket (Doodlebug) attacks on London before his capture by Allied troops. With him is a child refugee.
Interned in Britain and grieving the loss of his own family in a bombing raid, he eventually remarries and settles in England.
Part 2 moves into the late 1990s when Renke becomes friends with a former British soldier whose wife was killed in a V2 rocket attack. He is also re-united with the child refugee - now a successful author - through the efforts of a journalist whose husband owns a wood that has fallen into neglect.
It's against this woodland setting and the challenges to restore it that further tragedy strikes.
With its poignant ending, The Compassion of Trees depicts the power of healing and renewal following the loss of loved ones.
I was asked to read this novel by a friend. I've read something by this author previously (in a book with other authors) which I liked his style of writing.
This is a story about two WW2 veterans and their path to solace via the woods. Aldrich Renke is a German WW2 soldier who was part of the launching of the V2 (Doodlebug), who goes on the run away from his platoon and finds things about his family. He then meets a little girl who he helps saves before being captured by the British (yay for us lol). Arthur Fulton is a British WW2 soldier who's wife was killed by the V2 (Doodlebug). He is 1 of the soldiers looking after the POWs in Lincolnshire, where he kinda met Aldrich Reneke. Move on nearly 50 years later, Aldrich is re-married with a son and grandchild, Arthur is living on his own (never re-married after his wide was killed). A chance meeting in the bookies leads to memories. A reporter who's husband leases the woods brings Aldrich and the young girl (he saved) together. What happens when they meet? What is the connection between Aldrich's family and the woods?
All will be revealed when you read this delightful WW2 book about two old soldiers and what their intertwining lives are now the war is over.
He watches. He waits. He strikes.
DI Helena Stratton has been through the wars on a previous case—torture that has scarred her for life, gifting her with nightmares. This new one is no different. On top of that…
A partner she can’t stand. DS Andy Mald needs to buck his ideas up.
A boyfriend she’s just ditched. Or is he a stalker?
A triple murder. Who is doing such hideous things to the bodies?
Someone out there knows.
And he’s desperate to be the man in the house.
I want to say thank you to Emmy Ellis and Mel Comley for writing this amazing and haunting start to the series. I've never read anything by Emmy Ellis before, but her collaboration with Mel Comley was a spark of genius.
This starts off as it means to go on. Bringing the reader RIGHT into the book. When you start it, it WON'T let go. It brings the characters into your own head and makes you feel like you are RIGHT there with them. DI Helena Stratton has a past, which you find out as you read the book as to what happened to her. Her partner DS Andy Mald is a weird one at the start and YES I did wanna throttle him lol. The case they are given is strange at 1st but as the book carries on, you still don't know who the killer is. It isn't til near the end does it all unravel and BOY does it unravel. Be careful what you wish for, because with this book, YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT!
Loved the style of the book and can't wait to read book 2 when it comes out. Mel Comley and Emmy Ellis are 1 heck of a team to write this series.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I would like to thank A.L. Long and Booksirens for allowing me to read and review this book. I read this within a couple of hours as I knew where the story had carried on from.

I would like to thank Booksirens and Kelley Kaye for allowing me to read and review this 1st in a series. I found this rather not as interesting as I had hoped. Some characters was downright boring. Didn't quite understand them and what was happening. I finished it as I wanted to know what happened at the end.
Sorry to those who did enjoy this author's book, but it wasn't for me this time.
