Let me start by saying I wasn't really looking forward to reading this book. I love Jenn Foor's books especially The Mitchell Family Series. So anyone who has read this series knows that Heather is the evil witch of the series. Heather did some really despicable things throughout this whole series. So I went into this book finding it hard to believe she would ever be redeemable. Well let me just say Jenn Foor is writing genius. She not only redeemed Heather in my eyes, she also had me liking her and siding with her. I have to say that this book was pretty emotional. I was actually crying for a good portion of it.
I am really glad that Jenn decided to tell Heather's story. This book really told us a lot more about Heather and Ty's history. There was stuff in this book that came out that actually helped me understand why Heather did what she did. I still don't condone her behavior but it at least makes sense. I will say that I'm not overly happy with Ty in this book....I felt he didn't own up to his part in this huge mess. I was glad to see him and Heather trying to put things in the past. Now as for Jessie.....I had a hard time liking him in the beginning. He was a complete jerk and I didn't think Heather deserved all of his Crap. I was glad to see that eventually he does come around, but I will say he can never take the place of Colt in my heart :)
Speaking of the other Mitchell's....they actually weren't in this book as much as I thought they would've been. But the parts they were in were such important parts that it was great to see them again. Colt was charming and sweet as always. I loved Conner also, the side we see was so endearing. I think I Loved Amy and Van the most in this story, when it came to the Mitchell clan. Those two ladies showed such class and sweetness. They truly make you see that life is to short not to forgive and move on.
This was an excellent addition to this series. I would totally recommend this book to anyone who is a fan if either the series or Jenn Foor. This was a great love story that truly showed how a person can receive redemption and forgiveness. It showed how the love of a good man can really change someone for the good.

0.0% So far behind on this series! Gonna try and catch up :) however, I have loads of uni work and got a Xbox for my bday so reading time is now even more reduced :/
Looking forward to seeing the Mitchell's again and to see heathers side of the story though I'm nervous coz I hated her
3.0% I’d done my share of crying and pleading with him to forgive me.After all that I’d done to other people,I was getting it back ten times worse.I didn’t deserve to be happy and nobody knew it more than me.
I kinda already feel for heather! I don't know if it's coz it's been so long since I read the other books or what? But I can't wait to find out what happened coz I can't remember if we already know or not? :)
4.0% “So, you still love her, right?” The car was quiet and I prepared myself to hear him admitting it to our young son. He’d made it quite clear that I was the devil incarnate on several occasions. “Yes, now can we drop it?”
Awww I'm already loving jacob! And Jessie doesn't seem that bad just hurt :)
5.0% Instead, I fell in love with the wrong guy and let that love for him destroy all the potential that I ever had of being a good person. I had no friends, my boyfriend hated me and my mother was dead.
Oh heather! I hate what she did to the Mitchell's but then I do feel sorry for her - I hope we find out more about her and Ty!
8.0% When I turned twenty-four and realized that I’d almost cost Tyler Mitchell and his wife their children, I had a nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized for anxiety attacks.
Oh poor heather! I do feel sorry for her and glad we get to see her story and why she did what she did! Everyone has their story and deserves a second chance!
10.0% It took Heather a long time to tell me about the events leading to when she got involved with my sperm donor father.
I think I remember what happened now :) either way I'm really loving this book! I should go to bed but can't put it down!
12.0% He cocked an eyebrow and scratched his head. “You want answers about Heather?” “Yeah, I really do. I can’t keep living the way I am. I need closure and to know that moving on is the right thing to do. I want the damn truth for once.”
I really am starting to love Jessie :) <3
18.0% My qualms with Heather are in the past. Because of her actions, I fell in love with my husband. I don’t think we would be together had she not been around. In some ways I’m actually grateful to her. I’m married to a wonderful man and we have three beautiful children.”
Aww I love van! She's right - Heather made mistakes but it led them all to where they are today! :) <3
20.0% Ty only used me, I know that now. He never cared about me or how he affected me. He didn’t understand that I lived and breathed to feel him touching me. I was a fool to think that he cared about me, yet I kept being drawn to him, no matter how happy he was with Van.
I do love ty now but he was a dick back then!
26.0% After a couple minutes, I started getting mad about his actions. He was being supportive, but where had he gotten the idea that sleeping with me was going to be okay? He took it to that level, in my most emotional state ever, with no regard for how it would affect me later on.
Go heather! I love seeing her get a backbone - she's right and I hope that while Jessie needs the truth heather makes sure he doesn't string her along anymore! Although I get that Jessie's confused so I'm not mad at him :) I hope that made sense haha
He walked away from me, leaving me there alone in the living room. I fell to my knees, burying my face into my hands
Okay that was a dick move Jessie!
27.0% I nodded and started tearing up again. “Yeah, I know. I already feel like I’ve lost you, so telling you seems like the right thing to do. At least you can walk away with the truth.”
I love that she's gonna tell him instead of making him find out elsewhere :) I'm loving mature heather! :D
30.0% Yes. It’s when I lost compassion and replaced it with hate. My love for him overwhelmed me and I couldn’t imagine spending one moment in the world without him. I wanted to die myself. In fact, I considered it.”
I'm so glad we get heathers side of the story! I do feel for her! I'm starting to love her :) <3
32.0% He said he needed my brother’s help, actually. What I’m about to tell you can’t leave this room. It’s illegal and could cost them a lot. I don’t want them to have to suffer anymore. Promise me, Jess.”
I love that even though they hate her guts she's still trying to protect their secret! I love that we get to see the real heather :) <3
“That mother fucker! Who the hell does he think he is? You aren’t a fucking punching bag. Did he even consider your feelings? How could he come to you with that? Heather, tell me you told him no. Tell me you didn’t help him.”
I love how angry Jessie's getting on her behalf! Though I'm scared of his reaction to the next bit?!?
34.0% She said she wasn’t done telling me the story, but how bad could it be? She probably lied and told him that they had sex. He probably told his wife and they had to decide whether to stay together or not. The secret had to be why she felt so bad. I couldn’t think of anything else that would cause such a fuss. Maybe Miranda let him for a while. I could see why she’d hate Heather. She probably felt threatened."
Oh Jessie! You should have let her finish! :(
35.0% She used her legs and kicked them down, allowing me enough space to kick them off the rest of the way. She stuck her face against my neck and bit down on my flesh. My cock throbbed, reacting to the pain she was inflicting on me. I wanted it more, so I dug both hands into her ass cheeks, squeezing until I could feel my nails digging into her skin.
So hot! <3 <3
37.0% Somehow, seeing a light at the end of the tunnel twisted my arm. If I wanted a life with the father of my child, I had to drop the subject and bury it in the past.
You really did try to tell him but failed at the last hurdle! :'( I'm scared coz shits gonna hit the fan when the truth comes out! Just remember that she tried a couple times to tell you the whole truth Jessie - she just wants her family together!
40.0% I don’t like leaving Mommy alone. It makes me sad.”
Awww jacob might be handful but he's so cute and sweet! <3 <3
42.0% I grabbed Jessie’s arm, but he pulled away from me. “What do you mean, she almost killed you?” Ty grabbed Miranda. “Leave it alone, baby. Let’s just get you home.”
Oh shit! :'( shit shit shit shit!
43.0% I started crying. “I wish I could take it all back. You don’t know how sorry I am.” “You don’t deserve to be a mother, Heather. Everything you touch turns to shit! I wish you’d just disappear. It isn’t like anyone would ever miss you!”
Oh randa! I get that you're angry and I still love you but was that necessary - she made a mistake! :( i really am loving this book just wish I had more time to read! If I'm not doing uni work, I'm on the Xbox or sleeping! I'm def gonna try and fit more reading time in! :) <3
44.0% I was crying loudly and I couldn’t stop. “Please don’t take my baby from me. Please!” He climbed in the car and pulled away without saying another word.
Oh Jessie! You need to let her explain! N that's a dick thing to do Jessie, taking jacob!
45.0% I had overreacted and held a grudge over something that happened years ago. Sure, she had kept it from me, but that was her right. After what she’d already told me, I could see that she’d done it because it hurt her so much. It had been the worst time in her life.
I'm really glad we get both povs - it helps me understand where they're both coming from :) also LOVE jacob! <3 <3
48.0% I didn’t see the headlights until it was too late.
Oh god no! :'(
55.0% “Let’s take a walk?”
I hope that Ty and Jessie talking will mean the past can truly be laid to rest!
56.0% “Miranda isn’t talking to me. I may not like Heather, but I’ve known her since we were little kids. If loving me did this to her, I owe her an apology. For what it’s worth, I hope she pulls through. Every kid needs his mother.” As a parent, I could see how he was considering the repercussions of Heather’s accident.
I love that even though Ty can't forgive heather he still wants her to get better for her son:)
57.0% Every single person involved had been through Hell. It had to end.
So true! I hope it does and everyone can finally move on be happy!
58.0% I didn’t care how long it took, I was going to wait and prove to her that she could count on me. I was going to fight for her, like she’d always wanted me to do
Yay finally! I'm glad Jessie's finally opened his eyes! <3
65.0% My mother always said that if you love something you should let it go. If it’s meant to be, it will come back to you on it’s own.
So true! I kinda hope she makes him work for it coz he was kinda a dick to her in the past a lot! And though i love Jessie he need to make up for it and really prove to heather that the past is the past and that he loves her not just coz she's Jacobs mother :) <3
67.0% It was moments like this where I started to reconsider my upcoming decision. Maybe one day Jessie would be able to be true to me and to himself about what he wanted, but for now, he was too fickle. I couldn’t depend on someone that changed their mind every five days. My decision was final.
Oh no :/ I'm. Conflicted about this - I'm glad that heather has finally stopped chasing Jessie but I also just want them to live HEA and I know Jessie feels sorry n has made up his mind and this is going to break his heart! (And mine!)
70.0% I know that the reason you’re here is because you feel obligated to be. I don’t want to live like that. I don’t want to be with someone that feels sorry for me. I need to be happy and so do you.”
Oh heather! :'( you n Jessie need to talk but I love how much you've grown n you're tired of chasing any little bit of affection you can find!
71.0% Maybe I had been a shitty boyfriend. Maybe I should have said that I loved her, but I didn’t. I let her walk away without a fight, because it was all I knew how to do.
Oh Jessie! Fight for her!! <3 <3
72.0% Yeah, same shit different day.” “I’m not doing this to be mean.” I felt bad. “I get why you think you have to do this. I just don’t agree with it.” He grabbed his keys and started to walk away.
Oh Jessie! Tell her how you feel, show her! That's all you have to do - she needs that, she DESERVES that!
74.0% She spun me around again and I wondered why I came back to someone so nosey for a second time. “You have to tell a woman how you feel. We don’t just assume good things. We assume the worst.” “I don’t talk about feelings. It just causes problems.” “Well, apparently your way of doing things isn’t working very well for you if Heather wants to move back here, without you.” She had a point
Yep! You tell him Amy!
77.0% I’m not just going to let you go without a fight. I wish you would, Jess. What you’re doing right now is hurting me even more. Please let me do this. I promise you’ll be happy that I did. Heather, you’re wrong. Goodnight, Jess.
Oh these two are breaking my heart :'( i get what heathers saying though n she needs to do this or they'll never be able to move on! Fight for her Jess!
79.0% The only thing she does well is be a mother. I’ll give her that.
I hate that they hate heather but I LOVE that despite everything they can't fault her as a mother! <3 heather!
80.0% I was going on no sleep at all, but thinking clearer than I had in a long time. I was prepared to fight for what I wanted and also finally tell Heather exactly how I felt about her, since Amy claimed that women didn’t get it until they heard the words.
Aww go Jessie! <3 <3
82.0% His broken promises and lack of trust were what was the breaking point for our relationship. As much as I wanted to be with him, it couldn’t continue.
Oh heather :'( although I love that she's mature enough now to see that! <3 but her and Jessie just need to have a REAL convo - Jessie speed up your bloody plan! My hearts breaking!
85.0% He got closer to me and sort of whispered in my ear. “Tell her you love her every day, man. It’s the most important thing you can do for your marriage.” Colt patted me on the shoulder and sat back down.
Awwww I LOVE COLT! <3 I forgot how awesome he was!
88.0% I couldn’t help but sob. For the first time, in the whole time we’d been together, I was finally getting the devotion that I always wanted from him. It was almost too much to ask for, but I still didn’t hesitate with my answer
Oh heather! <3 <3
89.0% Can you thank Ty for me?” “Thank him for what?” I smiled and felt embarrassed to say it out loud. “Thank him for never giving me a chance. If it weren’t for that, I’d never have met Jessie and we wouldn’t have the most amazing son. I guess everything does happen for a reason, doesn’t it?”
Awww heather! I love love looking at it that way! <3
100.0% For the longest time I had given my heart to Tyler Mitchell.Losing him was when I finally found my happily ever after. <3 I really enjoyed this book and loved how mature heather was in the end :) Im glad she and Jessie got their HEA!<3 4 stars-wish I had more time to read!Life and other things getting in the way-looking forward to getting to the next one:) Im looking forward to seeing more Ty,Randa n Isabella!

Aww go Jessie! <3 <3
82.0% His broken promises and lack of trust were what was the breaking point for our relationship. As much as I wanted to be with him, it couldn’t continue.
Oh heather :'( although I love that she's mature enough now to see that! <3 but her and Jessie just need to have a REAL convo - Jessie speed up your bloody plan! My hearts breaking!
85.0% He got closer to me and sort of whispered in my ear. “Tell her you love her every day, man. It’s the most important thing you can do for your marriage.” Colt patted me on the shoulder and sat back down.
Awwww I LOVE COLT! <3 I forgot how awesome he was!
88.0% I couldn’t help but sob. For the first time, in the whole time we’d been together, I was finally getting the devotion that I always wanted from him. It was almost too much to ask for, but I still didn’t hesitate with my answer
Oh heather! <3 <3
89.0% Can you thank Ty for me?” “Thank him for what?” I smiled and felt embarrassed to say it out loud. “Thank him for never giving me a chance. If it weren’t for that, I’d never have met Jessie and we wouldn’t have the most amazing son. I guess everything does happen for a reason, doesn’t it?”
Awww heather! I love love looking at it that way! <3
100.0% For the longest time I had given my heart to Tyler Mitchell.Losing him was when I finally found my happily ever after. <3 I really enjoyed this book and loved how mature heather was in the end :) Im glad she and Jessie got their HEA!<3 4 stars-wish I had more time to read!Life and other things getting in the way-looking forward to getting to the next one:) Im looking forward to seeing more Ty,Randa n Isabella!
Originally this was 4 stars but as Im going over my updates Im going to change it to a 3.5/3 stars - it just feels right. :)

4 ***** INTENSE and EMOTIONAL STARS!!!
WOWZA Jenn FOOR!!!!
I am a HUGE Mitchell Family Series Fan!!
Always hated the bad girl that wanted to screw up my perfect little Mitchell Family, but man o man....Jenn Foor had me crying in pity for Heather.
This was an amazing story of how Heather came to be the mean, vindictive tramp she was....not to worry, I love her now :)
The relation between the Mitchell's and Heather was tainted because of choices she made growing up. Now, years later she must come back to their small town and mourn the loss of a family member.
This is not all Heather is dealing with!! She also has a five year old son and his father that despise the fact that her lies tear others lives apart.
I will say that this is one of my favorite of the Mitchell Family Series and commend the author for portraying such emotional sides to Heather's story!!!

Not gonna lie I was reluctant to read Heather's story. But once I started I couldnt put it down my heart broke for Heather and I cried a good part of the book.I could understand Ty & Miranda's issues w/Heather but looking at the amount of time that had passed and the fact that she was sincere in her apologies and changed the person she was back then.I was so pissed at Jesse for the way he treated Heather with the back forth "I cant trust you but I cant resist fucking you and playing head games".He knew that she was broken and had issues yet he continued to toy with her emotions at one point I actually screamed "shit or get off the pot Jesse! commit or leave her alone". I cheered for Heather when she said enough is enough and was working on herself and gaining independence from him I think she needed that time to learn to forgive herself .Im glad the other Mitchells were able to forgive because they all have made mistakes and none are perfect.And like always Im a sucker for happy endings.
September 11, 2013
FIRST LET ME SAY I HAVE READ ALL OF THE "MITCHELL'S SERIES" TOTALLY LOVED, LOVED THE 1-7 BOOKS. I CAN ONLY SAY MS. FOOR, YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF MAKING ME REALLY HATE HEATHER, SO I KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS SEEING ANY REDEEMING QUALITIES IN HER. SINCE I TRULY HATED HER IN THE PREVIOUS BOOKS. I KNOW THIS BOOK IS ABOUT FORGIVENESS, NURSING OLD HURTS/GRUDGES/HATRED AND LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS. I REALLY HATED THE YOYO-ING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE MAIN CHARACTER HEATHER & JESSIE, LACK OF MAKING A DECISION AND STICKING TO IT. THE ENTIRE BOOK WAS NOTHING BUT REHASHING THINGS OVER AND OVER, WAAY TOO MUCH REPETETION (screeeeeammmm!). I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE TRIED TO ACCOMPLISH IN TRYING TO EXPLAIN HEATHER'S ACTIONS IN PREVIOUS BOOKS, I THINK WAS OVER DONE. I WOULD HAVE ENJOYED IT MORE HAD THE MITCHELL'S PLAYED A BIGGER PART, I LOVE THAT FAMILY THEY HAVE MADE ME LOL AND CRY, I MISSED THEM! I WILL STILL READ BK#9 AND HOPE IT'S BACK ON TRACK WITH SOMEONE FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE FAMILIES SERIES "MITCHELL'S". ALL THE COVER'S ARE BEAUTIFUL AND SEXXY HOT.
August 22, 2013
Ok I will say that when I found out that Jennifer was doing another Mitchell family book but this one from Heather’s POV I will be honest and say that I was like F*u*K that I will pass. Lol but then of course I couldn't help myself I love all of Jennifer’s books lol. I also love reading Jess's POV as well I hope we get more of the Mitchell’s in this book…
Just a side note ….I have read a LOT of Jennifer Foor’s books and she is hands down one of my favorite authors I have not read one of her books and was like awww its ok. No I have loved every single one of them.
This is book 8 in the Mitchell family series, and I was a bit fiffy about it but in the end I loved it just like all the others. The reason why I was fiffy at first was because if you have read the other books you will know that Heather was a Bit*H on wheels to the Mitchell clan. She played a major part in a lot of their lives. But with that being said if Heather had not been obsessed with Ty there would have been no Colt and Van and I love me some Colt and Van… If not for Heather, Amy probley would have been killed by Rick , If not for Heather Jess wouldn't have meet his sister. You get the point the list goes on and on. She played a major roll.
Heather and Jess have a roller coster type of relationship one moment they are together and the next nothing. I will say that I was dam proud of her when she stood up for herself and took a stand and was like I am done. This happened after her accident. She had to take a moment to step back to say if you want me that work for it and show me.. I loved it
If you have not read the first 8 books all of this will probley be confusing to you so I suggest you read them first. Heather was diagnosed with bipolar at a young age but she was like hell no I aint crazy I just love a boy that don’t love me back. Man that chick was hell bent on getting Ty. Now was TY wrong for his part in the whole Heather story hell yea. But come on he didn't make her keep coming back or make her give it up every time he came knocking.
I was good to hear the how the story played out from Heather's POV. I was pissed at her for being so weak when it came to Ty I was like man just move on. Any ways she was an awesome mother to her son Jacob and all she wants now is to be a family with his dad Jess, but Jess wants answers he wants to know what the hell went down with the Mitchel's. I was like (be careful for what you ask for you might just get it) I was pissed at him for holding her past over her head. I mean if you are going to be with me than do it.
We got to hear from Van, Amy, Ty, and Conner in this book but it was mostly Heather's story. I will say it again I freaking love Van. The chick like always knows what to say at the correct time and everyone loves her to no end. She was there for Heather she forgave her for the things that happened when they were kids and told her life is to short to hold on to the past faults. Amy, Connors and Ty and played parts in that forgiveness as well. I understand why Rhanda still has issues with her but like Conner said Heather didn't make her get in her car and drive in that storm.
I have spoken my opinion on Heather’s POV I hope you enjoy it. Sorry if you feel that my review is a bit long but hey I had a lot to say (lol)

For the longest time I had given my heart to Tyler Mitchell. Losing him was when I finally found my happily ever after.2.5 to 3 stars
On the one hand, as standard, the writing is ill-formatted, colored with typos and in need of a little more finesse. I think it can be done, as Foor isn't a bad storyteller, at all.
On the other hand, this installment of the Mitchell Family Series brings back familiar characters and a familiar story; it's just that this is the side of the story told from the villain's POV: Heather.
This dynamic worked. I believed Heather's desperation as motive to have done the things she did, so much so that I wanted the other villain of this piece, Tyler, the one who got off kind of scott-free with a wife and family, the one who was a cheater and strung a vulnerable girl along, used her at his will, to get his comeuppance a little more than he'd already had.
Instead, Heather had to bear the brunt of her very bad decisions. She had to come clean and suffer guilt and shame. She also suffered more tragedy.
Her HEA was too wishy-washy for me to give him all the kudos, but at least he screwed his head on right in the end. However, it was Heather who grew stronger and into someone likable.
Van and Amy help with this, as they forgive her and become her "angels". Van does so with understanding that Tyler is as much to blame for barreling Heather down the road of jealousy, revenge and desperation. Van also understands forgiveness. Amy does so because Heather made the first act of redemption by saving her life.
And well, it is confirmed again, Colt & Savannah(Van) are still my favorite couple of the Mitchell bunch. Amy and Connor are an almost close second. Ty and Miranda are what they are, but I don't think I'll ever warm over to Tyler completely. We'll see.
I'm glad Heather got her HEA, but I hope Foor won't be focusing on her again in the future.
This book must be read in order of the series or the reader just won't get it.
August 25, 2013
Without Heather Colt and Savannah wouldn't be together... Without Heather Ty and Miranda wouldn't be together... Without Heather Connor and Amy would not have had kids... Now we finally get to hear bitchy Heather's story... Book 8 in The Mitchell Family Series. 4.5 stars
From previous books we know Heather is a bitch, you soften towards her and actually like her and feel sorry for her. Love will make you do crazy things, especially when the one thing in life is to have someone you love love you back.
When tragedy strikes Heather she has to go back to the town where everyone hates her, by herself and with her son.
5 years ago broken and at rock bottom and with other motivates Heather walks into a B & B, its here she meets Jessie. Heather finally falls in love again but finds someone who loves her back, Jessie. When Jessie finds out she has been lying to him her their relationship falls apart and Heather is once again alone but pregnant.
We learn a little more about Heathers past and have some understanding as to why she was a bitch in the past.
Heather now a mum to little Jacob looks at life differently she wants and tries hard to have a "family" under the one roof but her past secrets she won't share with Jessie are holding this family back. Yes Jessie has issues with Heather and at times he comes across as an ass, he ain't no Colt, Ty or Connor! Just when Heather and Jessie get their act together things go south fast, will 'love' be enough to keep Jessie and Heather together.
I was really unsure about reading Heathers story, I actually felt sorry for her at times and could feel her pain. In the end I come to like her. I liked the way Jenn4 bought Savannah, Connor, Amy, Ty, Miranda and Colt back into the story.
Book 9 Loving him, can't wait

Book 9 Loving him, can't wait
August 23, 2013
This new installment is really hard to want to read, mostly because Jennifer Foor made me hate Heather, the main charachter for 7 books. It was only a small glimpse into civility with Van in book 7 that made me read it. I am glad that I did. This book, like the rest of the series, is so freaking good. I love her style and will read anything this author puts out and want more the second I read the last page. I think there were a lot of spelling errors and mispunctuations but that sort of sillyness doesn't bother me if it means the book came out sooner. I know the readers will be emailing her like crazy with notes and it will be re-published into perfection. I think that this story is very similar to the style of Tyler's struggles and Miranda's struggles. In all of their stories there was an accident that lead to a stronger understanding of the charachters in this crazy group. I often wish that I could be a Mitchell because the love that is captured in the writing of their stories is so immense and fun it is easy to be jealous of such a wonderful life. It's never easy but always worth it and it's nice to see an outsider praise and appreciate the Mitchell family from afar. All I ask is that you never stop writing about this group of people these stories are my absolute most loved series of all time so KEEP EM COMIN GIRL!
August 26, 2013
I love Amber Foor. I have read every book in this series and I think I've 5 starred them all. I have spent a great deal of my time reading this series absolutely hating Heather and was actually looking forward to this book because I knew she had a story. I did enjoy seeing more of her broken family life, what she overcame and a stronger more mature Heather. I just cannot get over the freaking repetition in this book.
I get Heather had a limited fan club, but the constant dialogue with the only two people in town that seemed to care and the wishy washy Jessie. Ugh. Maybe it's because I missed the Mitchells or something, I don't know. I just didn't connect with this book the way I have all of Foor's other masterpieces (including other series). I tried to give my reaction the benefit of the doubt because as a follower of this series, I've been conditioned against Heather. But, I didn't really feel a connection and the story was just like a roller coaster of unnecessary drama followed by more of the same. Then it got to bee too much of a mediocre thing.
I'll read anything Foor writes and I suppose you can't be everything to everyone. I am thrilled that this book received such high reviews from readers and if you read the series, you should read this book. But, I just didn't love it and I'm holding it to the high bar Foor has set. At least I admit I'm unfair!

As always, I could not put this down once I started. I should know better than starting a Jennifer Foor book before bed...I was up til 130 am reading. That being said, this was a highly emotional book. Heather was the character we all loved to hate. She caused so much pain for the characters we loved so deeply, never knowing anything but the bad parts of her. We got a glimpse of her wanting to change and be a better person in the last book, but we still hadn't had a lot of background. We learn so much about Heather in this book. I developed a soft spot for her and spent a lot of this book holding back tears. I didn't think a lot of Jesse throughout the book. I still have mixed feelings about him. I know Heather did some hurtful things, but I needed more of their background to develop a soft spot for him. Without the POV during their actual meeting and secrets being revealed, it was hard to feel sympathy towards his perspective. I am anxious for more from this series as always!!
August 24, 2013
This was my least favourite out of all of the Mitchell books. I felt it was a bit rushed and although I didn't mind reading Heathers story and was intrigued as to why she was the way she was, I felt it didn't necessarily need a full book as I don't think there was any major discoveries or information that we didn't already know apart from one small bit about her father. I wasn't overly keen on Jessie either I felt he chopped and changed his mind far too often and came across as quite cold at times. Saying that there were a few moments when I really felt for Heather, overall an ok read but am hoping book 9 is back on track to the other characters and a better story line.
August 24, 2013
4.5 Stars!!! (I always round up)
I really love this series. This book was about love, unrequited love, desperation, retribution, justice, redemption and forgiveness. Plus some hot erotica, tearful heartbreak, and all my favorite characters. I love all the men in the Mitchell family, but I wasn't as crazy about Jessie, hence 4.5 stars.
Heather has been the villain in this series since the beginning and Jennifer Foor did a brilliant job redeeming her. Now I feel like she's part of the family (my adopted family, since I'm so attached to these characters.)
As always, these books have NO CLIFFHANGER and a HEA. But I would advise reading them in order.

I'm so glad to read more about Heather and that she has a happy ending. However I feel this story was rushed. Too many grammatical errors, a couple names and details mixed up. i.e. Heather's accident involved a semi, but later it's written about the "car" that hit her. Another time "there's" was used where "theirs" was needed. I'm not an English professor or editor but these things bugged me. I LOVE this series but was disappointed in the quality of writing in this one. Not sure who #9 is about but I hope it's an improvement over this one.

October 2, 2015I'm not in the mood for this kinda book. I like my heroes to be sweet and kind , loving, protective.from what I read so far (and to be honest I fell asleep listening to it, not a good sign) I hated the way Jessie treated Heather. Telling her he just gave her a pity fu¿K. I don't. Like my heroes to be. Cruel. So I'm skipping this one for now. I may go back to it but doubtful. All the other books in this series are great. But. Jessie was just an asshat to. Me.
September 8, 2013
So many errors. I was pretty disappointed in the lack of editing with this book. I do agree that this book helped me forgive Heather and understand where she was coming from. Wish Jennifer would have included in the epilogue where they ended up living and if Jesse got the other B&B he talked about getting.
August 30, 2013
What a wonderful story. So much better than I had anticipated.

I cried like a freaking baby the first 6 chapters or so. Jennifer Food that was some hard stuff personally to read for me. Jessie not just a hot alpha male but still loved it.
September 10, 2013
as much as I hated Heather im glad read this and understood her more.
October 19, 2013
3.75 stars... I dunno... something just wasn't there....
April 1, 2021
This book had a bunch of issues. I think the biggest for me was the bad editing. There were far too many grammatical errors. Words were missing, wrong endings were used on words in sentences, just way too many things that slowed me down reading because I’d have to stop and go back to figure out what I was reading and what I was SUPPOSED to read.
The next thing I just couldn’t forgive in this book is Jessie. Nothing about him appeals to me. He wanted to find reasons not to be with her. He did everything possible to show he wasn’t a worthy book boyfriend. I agree 100% with Heather’s feelings about how he only came to her because she had the accident. He did nothing leading up to that to make her think he wanted to be with her because he cared about her. Even when they were together after the accident he still did nothing to show he cared more than just feeling pity for her.
And finally I am so confused how she just forgave him/changed her mind and took him back so quickly. I just didn’t see what about his “plan” was so appealing and I did all the things he had said/done in the past.
So I couldn’t do more than 2 stars. Just a problematic book for me. It had some potential but it just had so many other problems that ruined a lot of that potential for me.

I like how the story portrays how all everybody ever wants is to be loved and how the impact of that can affect how relationships with others and ourselves.

Even though she is a straight up b***h in the previous books and definitely got what was coming to her I still love this book

September 16, 2013
Heart wrenching story of redemption. Book #8 in the Mitchell series -- I have to tell you I love these books. They are easy to read and hard to put down! But for this one, you will need some tissues handy, the beginning was sad and I had a very emotional response. I did surprise myself when I was on Heather's side - after her past and hating her in other books, I was surprised when I was routing for her in this story! And now a bit about the book...
It has been about 5 years since we last visited with the Mitchell clan. Heather, who almost destroyed Ty and Miranda, is coming home to bury her mother. She is a single mother with a 5 year old son and has an on again off again boyfriend who happens to be the father of her son in her life. She is desperately in love with him, but she won't tell him about her past and he won't move forward until he knows. After the stress of the funeral she finally tells him most of it, but when he discovers the bit she left out, he leaves again. There is lots of love and tragedy in this book, give it a try and see who Heather makes you feel!
Favorite quotes:
- As sorry as I was that she’d been through Hell and back, I couldn’t condone her lying to me. I was willing to forgive her for everything, if she’d just come clean.
- Maybe one day Jessie would be able to be true to me and to himself about what he wanted, but for now, he was too fickle. I couldn’t depend on someone that changed their mind every five days.
- “My mother told me that if I loved something I should let it go. Jessie, I will never know what your intentions are until I know for sure what I want. I love you so much. I think you know that. Being a family is something that I’ve always dreamed of. I just can’t do it and wonder how we got here. I can’t be with you when I feel like it’s out of pity.”
- I should have said that I loved her, but I didn’t. I let her walk away without a fight, because it was all I knew how to do.
- "...if you love her, fight for her."

Being a family is something that I’ve always dreamed of. I just can’t do it and wonder how we got here. I can’t be with you when I feel like it’s out of pity.”
- I should have said that I loved her, but I didn’t. I let her walk away without a fight, because it was all I knew how to do.
- "...if you love her, fight for her."

I love this series, but this book was seriously lacking where all the other books have succeeded. Firstly and this is my main concern, there is no strong male character. I felt Jessie to be weak, a bit of a mummy's boy if I'm honest. Nowhere in this book does it describe what he looks like. The only details we are made aware of is 1. He is a man 2. He has a penis. He also can't get over the fact that Heather hadn't been truthful about what she did to Ty and Miranda! Personally i felt he needed to get over it. What happened between Heather, Ty and Miranda has nothing to do with him and certainly not to the degree he was making a big deal about it. I really didnt understand his problem apart from being a big baby with commitment issues. He seriously needs to take some tips from the Mitchell boys, especially Colt and Ty. Secondly I don't know what went wrong because normally Jennifer Foor is amazing at bringing the emotions to a book, especially when the kids are involved. She had the perfect vessel to do this in Jacob. We saw very little of his emotion towards being torn between his mother and father and certain other times in this book. Like a lot of the books in this series, there were umpteen grammatical errors, even leaving words out altogether. Finally I know I said this book was lacking emotionally and I know I should discuss Heather at some point, because personally I wasn't sure if she was redeemable. We get to see why she did what she did. I was starting to warm to her, especially when she breaks down, but eventually the whole "Nobody likes me" routine got tiresome. Such a shame about this book, especially because the last book (Colt and Savannahs) was so so emotional. Stick to the Mitchell's Ms Foor, it works!!!

There may be a few spoilers, so be warned.
I gave this book four stars because Jennifer Foor did the impossible and turned the villain into a likable, albeit still flawed, character. However, I can't say that I loved the story.
I hated Jessie. I tried to like the guy, but I couldn't do it. I felt like all the way until the end he was still holding Heather's past against her, a past that didn't even have anything to do with him! I get that he couldn't trust her because she wouldn't ever tell him everything that happened, but he knew it didn't have anything to do with him, so he should've waited until she was ready to tell him.Then he'd be all over her and telling her he wanted to be together and live as a family. Frankly, I got whiplash from all his back and forth. How he expected her to trust him was beyond me. He left her time and time again, so if anyone should have had trust issues, it should've been her.
Savanna, Amy and Connor all stepped up and actually acted like adults and moved forward and forgave Heather, but Miranda acted like a total punk about it. Despite what Heather did, she didn't force Miranda to take off that night of the car accident. It had been years, and knowing how Tyler had treated Heather over the years, I just think that she was being immature by still putting all the blame for that time on Heather. And, let's not forget Ty. He finally came around, but he was a major ass and he never really had to accept the role he played in all the misery that surrounded the Heather fiasco. In the end, I'm glad he made peace with her.
So, while I have a newfound appreciation for Heather, I still think she got the short end of the stick by marrying Jessie.
