0% Think this is going to be my next read :) I do enjoy this series but I've found it takes a lot for me to start Jennifer floors books I don't know why? I like the story n I do enjoy and love the characters but I dont thnk i I really connect with her style of writing if that makes sense- a conclusion I've come to after reading numerous other books :) Either way i am looking forward to this story :)

7% Nothing could have prepared us for what happened next.
... I don't like this kind of foreshadowing!

8% I couldn’t be happy as long as she was in the hospital. I needed my daughter home, healthy and back to her old self again, before I could begin to feel complete once more.
Oh Ty :(

11% Baby, every day with you is unforgettable. This time apart sucks. Being with Iz is the priority, but it’s not easy being away from you. I know we’re good, but it feels like we’re separated sometimes. I get into that big bed at night and you’re not even there. I just want our family back the way it was. We need to be together again.”
Awww Ty! I forgot how sweet you can be- when i think of you I normally think of the funny guy who always makes jokes :)

13% A deep voice shocked me as it spoke on the other end of the phone. “We ain’t goin’ anywhere. She’s yankin’ your chain.” “She wishes she was yanking me.”
Haha Ty does make me laugh! :D

20% All he could say was her name. I stood over him, wrapping my arms around him and trying to be supportive, even when I could feel his heart breaking as we embraced.
Oh Colt! :'(

23% My stomach dropped
Oh shit!!!!! :(

24% A lie like that could ruin my life and the bond we shared. If I lost that, I didn’t know what I’d do. “I hope you’re right, Miranda. Right now, I feel like my heart is going to be ripped out of my chest.”
Oh Ty :'(

31% The pain ripped through me, and I was too upset to realize that Van had opened the door and come into the bathroom. She knelt down in front of me and placed her hands on my knees. It took one look for me to fall against her and let it out. She rubbed my back and comforted me the best she could
Oh Ty! :'(

36% She was the one who called me daddy and it was her love all along that made me fall in love. “I see myself. When I look into her eyes, I see my daughter.” He put his hand on my shoulder and looked right into my eyes. “That ain’t ever goin’ to change.”
Aww Ty! I loved that convo between Ty n colt! :D

38% The room began to spin and my heart was beating out of my chest. This whole time she’d had this. Every question she’d asked me had been a test.
Oh no :'(

40% It was crushing me from the inside. Imagining my life without my beautiful little girl. Picturing her hating me and never wanting to trust me again was undeniably the worst feeling I’d ever experienced. We hadn’t even spoken, and I knew that part of my life was never going to be the same. Sure, she’d always be mine, but not having her return that love, after all that we’d been through, was unbearable.
Oh poor Ty! :'(

44% He pulled me into a hug and held me tightly. I could feel his emotions pouring through him. “I love you so much, Miranda. I don’t regret any decision we ever made. I’ll do whatever it takes to make this right. You know I will.” I did. I knew he would go to the ends of the earth for us to be happy. That’s why I loved him so much.
Oh Ty! <3

50% I waited until she went inside before covering my face and weeping like a small child. I couldn’t take much more and it had only just begun. I didn’t know how I was going to be able to look at her day after day and see that hate in her eyes. It would destroy me.
Ty! :'( oh iz I know you're hurting n confused but you need to start talking to them n listening!

55% “Don’t call me that. I’m not your Izzy anymore.”
Oh izzy! I know you're confused n angry but you need to try :(

57% I know that inside of that hard-headed body, there is a little girl that longs to run right back into your arms.” I ran the back of my hand over his cheek. “You think she hates you, but you’re so wrong. She’s doin’ what I would. She’s shuttin’ down so she doesn’t have to deal with it.”
I love that their not letting everything with bella ruin their marriage but are a united front instead :D

63% I grabbed both sides of his face. “You are the worst sweet talker on the planet, but I love you to death anyway.”
Haha least he tried Miranda hahaha :D

65% Thank you. It means so much that I have you in my corner. When the whole world doubted me, you’ve always been my rock. We’ll get through this, because of that. We’re going to come out stronger than we’ve ever been before,
I love how strong these two are as a couple - they've been through hell for each other n come out stronger and this situation will be no different :) <3

73% It made it go faster, and the look on his face was nothing but pure lustful intent. He wanted to get off and it sent me into a sexual frenzy. The rougher it was, the more it turned me on. Ty bit down on one of my legs as he pushed them more into my chest. It felt like he was hitting bottom, filling me up as far as it would go.
This is definitely HOT! <3

78% I wanted to smile, hearing her react like she hadn’t this whole time. It was at that moment when I realized how well Ty knew our daughter. Even after she’d ripped his heart out, he’d been strong enough to see what I couldn’t. He knew how to break her and bring her back to us.
I love that! No matter what Ty knows his daughter! <3

85% This beautiful young girl had a piece of my heart and imagining her giving it back to me was devastating. I began to sob, putting my hands up to my face to hide my embarrassment. Here I was, driving her to try and teach her a lesson and not even two hours into the drive I was pulled over and crying like a little pussy.
Oh Ty! :'( she'll realise your her dad and she knows it - she just needs to calm down and really think about things :) <3

86% It took me two seconds to get my hand on the office door-handle and burst into the room. “Van, don’t do this.” Izzy was sitting down. Van had her hands on her hips and a mad look on her face. “This is my decision, not Colt’s and surely not yours. We sat Noah down and told him everything last night. Bella deserves the truth, Ty.”
Oh wow! I wasn't expecting that! I know it needs to be done but I wasn't expecting it to be now!

92% She shook her head. “It’s not. I was coming here to hide and saw your truck. I figured you wouldn’t be able to leave without me if I stayed in it.”
Oh izzy! :( it'd be easy to be mad at her but she's just confused and scared! :( I'm glad she's found her way back to her family!

100% The End.
Awww I love their relationship! :D I enjoyed this book and it definitely entertained me today while I had a massive hangover! I enjoyed seeing this family again and am looking forward to seeing the kids fall in love :D I wish we could give half stars - coz this is 3.5 stars! I always love the storylines and characters in this series but am always hesitant to start the next book for some reason :/ either way I do recommend this book and series and am glad I got to meet the Mitchell family and am looking forward to catching up with the spin off series :)

A baby came into the world and changed a not-so-nice guy into a man, a father

And after sadness, shame and a few epiphanies of her own, that little girl turned into a young woman who realized her dad, the man who changed for her, her own beacon in any coming storm.
Isabelle Mitchell

If anything would ever redeem Tyler Mitchell for me, it's his love for his little girl, Izzy. The story clings tightly to the conflict of Izzy finding out the truth. This kept enough of my interest. Unfortunately, I wasn't enthused by the in-between scenes of Ty and Miranda getting it on (but for once and that was only because it was as disgusting as it was funny as hell).

So, what I think is that I would have preferred that more of the story be told from Izzy's 11 yr old point of view. I wanted to know more about her emotions than the repetitiveness of knowing Ty's heart was being ripped out.

This was an interesting conclusion to the FIRST Mitchell series. And the ending a trick of a segue for the next "Mitchell/Healy" series.

Yes, I will read them as well. These characters have grown on me.

Read this only if you like Foor's Mitchell series.

If you love The Mitchell Family series you are going to love Loving Her. Jennifer Foor has really out done herself, each book is better then the last. While I am a Colt girl, i do love the playful cocky Tyler. We have always seen a hint of the caring side of Ty in each book but we haven't seen Ty like this.

Prepare yourself Jennifer Foor is about to take you on one hell of a roller coaster ride, I have cried, laughed, swooned over Colt calling me Darlin' I mean called Van Darlin' but what ever. Jenn has made my heart ache for Tyler, she made it break and then she shattered it and finally pieced it back together.

Tyler and Miranda go through every parents worst nightmare, Izzy is sick and being rushed to hospital. It takes the doctors awhile to figure out what's wrong with her. When she is finally back at home and on the mend Ty and Miranda take a trip to Kentucky to visit Colt and Savanna , being around the family is just what they need.

When tragedy strikes for Colt, Van and the kids, Ty tries to cheer them up with a gift. Little does Ty know that buying this gift is about to turn his and his family's life upside down and break him to pieces.

Jenn's writing draws you in hook line and sinker and you wont want to put this down until you're finished. While your emotions will be put through the ringer, listening to the playful banter with Ty, Miranda, Colt and Savanna will make laugh and make you heart a little lighter after an intense angst story.

I don't want to say to much more or I will spoil the book, so if you haven't read Loving Her start now, you are going to love it.

Can't wait to read more about the Mitchell/Healy clan

I would like to state this is book 9 in a series Start with Book One Letting Go for the story to make sense. Trust me it has it all love, lies, sex, pain, hurt, scare, murder, cancer, cheating, beating, lust, denial, rejection, and mostly DRAMA!!!

Book 9 wow, that in itself tells you how great this series truly is. Series don't go 9 long if they aren't amazing. This one was defiantly different than the previous 8 but had all the qualities and then some. Book 1 I was NOT a Ty Mitchell fan at all. I was so Team Van it was crazy! Book 9 I stand (or sit and type?) before you and praise this fantastic fictional man! Ty is a man's man with all the boy's toys and personality. As much as I love Colt, I have to tell you people I adore Ty so the point of no return. The banter and stunts add to it, I wish he would prank me just once. *sigh*

Down to business... This book revolves around Ty and his love for his child, which is not a bio. Due to the actions long ago of the bio dad Ty has worked hard to keep Bella safe and over the series he has done some rough stuff to ensure this. (read the other books) Sadly when a tragedy strikes a stranger unknowingly opens her mouth and stir the stink. Bella goes all Veronica Mars with her trusty side kick and digs up a secret mean to be left buried in the deep beyond. This secret cause distrust and hurt in Bella (IZ) which leads to hurt for Ty because he is the root of this distrust. The book tells of a young girl coming into herself and losing herself all at the same time. Ty and Randa's marriage is tested and those twins, dear baby Jesus those bad twins!!! Ty has to make a hard choice after a rebellious Bella gives him no other option. BOOM! Bella comes up missing? WHAT? Where is she? where has she gone?
Again-
You will need to make sure to start at Book One in the Mitchell Family Series Letting Go, to see how this story starts and I will see you right back here when you're done to see if you adore how this series is ending in Loving Her... Bring on Book 10 Jenn? I think not. We will have to fall in love with all the kids next =] Pleaseee =]

This one was very emotional, a real tear jerker. Izzy gets sick, really sick and lands in the hospital, she gets worse and worse, and you fear she is going to die. But the doctor's finally figure it out, treat ber and she gets better and returns home. Then Ty, Miranda, Izzy, Jax, and Jake head to Kentucky tovisist Van and Colt and everyone. They arriveto find them in tears, heartbroken.... Sam their dog died in Noah's bed. Ty couldn't stand them being sad so decides to buy them a new dog. Izzy goes with himto pick it up, and the woman who they bought the dog from says that Izzy is Tucker's daughter... OMG a really ugly can of worms was openned.

Izzy asked Ty and Miranda about it, they denied, and she did some internet searching to find out the truth. Izzy was cold to Ty, and was getting introuble at school so they went to a therapist. It still wasn't working and she was tearing Ty''s heart out, so Ty and Miranda decide to send her to Kentucky to stay with Colt and Van hoping that will make her realize what she has. Van sat her down and told her the whole truth including her story with Tucker, and Izzy was shocked, didn't believe until she did another internet search.

Miranda came to Kentucky to he with Ty and Izzy but Izzy had gone missing. Panic, sheer painic set in and everyone went searching for her. Then Ty found her, in the backseat of his truck. She admitted to looking it up on internet and believing the truth. She realized what she had with Ty as her Dad, and didn't want him to go without her.

Heartbreaking story, hard for Izzy to learn, but now there are no family secrets and she understands being a Dad takes more than just a sperm donation. Great story, never a miss with this series.

OMG...this series just keeps getting better and better. This book was one that hit close to home as my daughter went through a similar experience. I cried, I laughed, I squirmed...Even in the tensest of times, Jennifer Foor knows how to keep the reader laughing, mostly of Tyler's doing! Miranda and Tyler's relationship may be tested the most in this book...who knew little Izzy could have so much attitude! The emotion in this book was absolutely RAW...I felt every heartache and every mending that the characters went through. Who knew that the past would come back to haunt them all again. Jennifer does an awesome job of leading the reader through the ups and downs and ups again and then giving us a look into the future. Sometimes distance makes the heart grow fonder, but it can also make the heart grow weaker in some instances. I felt so bad for Tyler, something he wished he would never have to face is now hitting him full force.
Oh the steamy scenes never fail...Jennifer even throws in a few curveballs ;) I love Tyler's spitfire attitude, Miranda's ability to handle it all and keep it together, and Izzy's ability to define herself and her beliefs. Cannot WAIT to get the next story about all the kids all grown up! ARC received for honest review.

I love The Mitchell/Healy family like I love my own family.

I was very lucky and privileged to ready his book before it's release and couldn't wait to recommend it to you all.

I have read every book in this series now and Jenn makes you feel like the characters are real live people. She sucks you in and doesn't let go. Having to pick a favourite in the series is like asking me to choose between my children but Loving Her may just be my favourite. The love that Ty shows Izzy just takes my breath away. They have to deal with a pretty dramatic event in the lives of their family and the book has you going through a roller coaster of emotions. Jenn did a fabulous job in transporting you into the story and at times I cried my eyes out, then go a bit hot under the collar, then laughed my head off, then cried my eyes out again!
That lady is one hell of an author and I am glad to call her a friend!!

If you haven't read the series you must, they are wonderful books that will stay with me forever <3

WONDERFUL FAMILY, I LOVE THE MITCHELL FAMILY I'VE READ THEM ALL UP TO THIS ONE. READING THIS WAS LIKE GOING BACK HOME FOR A VISIT.

OMG, YIKES! LOTS OF LOVE, LAUGHTER, DRAMA, CRAZY FAMILY/FRIENDS, HOTT SEX, JUST A NORMAL BOOK ABOUT THE MITCHELL'S. AS USUAL IT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH AND MAKE YOU CRY AND MAKE YOU ANGRY, MOST OF ALL IT MAKES HAPPY JUST READING ABOUT THEM. THEY ARE SO REAL JUST LIKE MOST OF US . . . NORMAL(yeah, right). THIS BOOK SURE LET'S YA' KNOW, LIES ARE LIKE FARTS . . . SOMEWHERE SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS LETTING ONE LOOSE. LOL!! ;D

Jenn Foor has outdone herself with this one. I absolutely love the Mitchell Family series... All of them, but this one is by far the best yet. They have grown into adults and families. This book is entirely about a father's love for his daughter. Ty has always been the goofball (he still is) but he showed his soft side in this book. Many parts of this book had me ugly crying, wiping my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt. Maybe because I am a parent myself but mostly because Jenn is just freakin awesome! Can't wait for the cousins books in 2014. Thanks for continuing this amazing series Jenn

I love the Mitchell men and their family like I am part of it all. Great work Jennifer Foor for creating a wonderful series full of erotica, angst, suspense, humor, and love. And when I read your notes at the end of the book where you stated you are writing a spin-off series about all my favorite character's children growing up, I had "happy" chills going through my body. I am so excited!!!!

Really struggled to even finish this book, compared to the others in the series I found this really difficult to read due to how completely unrealistic it was. The fact that their supposedly beloved daughter had found out something so devastating to her and all they seemed concerned about was having time alone to have sex. The way Ty behaved when they went away for the weekend on the shopping trip was just ridiculous. It's really put me off reading anything else by this author.

Check out more of my reviews at my blog www.gemmareadstoomuchforittomenormal....

Loving Her is book #9 in the Mitchell Family series and is the last one in this series; find the full reading order for the series Here. However there is a new spinoff series called The Mitchell/Healey Family, this follows the lives of the kids from the Mitchell series all grown up, that has just kicked off with first book Noah being released and currently sitting in my TBR pile.

As you may have guessed I’m a massive fan of this series, it follows the trials and tribulations of the Mitchell and Healey families.

So the good bits....

• Ty, he is by far my favourite character in this series he’s hilarious!!

• The twins are brilliant I loved them. (especially them peeing on each other then laughing lol)

• I want a family as close knit and supportive as this one.

And the not so good bits...

• This book started a bit stiff and formal, I’m used to these books being friendly and inviting from the first words.

• It’s the last one in the series!!!

Ok so I really like this series, it’s definitely a family event and even when the book focuses on one family or couple you still get to see and hear from everyone else.

I love Ty & Miranda they are so in love with each other and even after all the crap they have been through you can feel the love and devotion that pours out of them.

Izzy, I think everyone who has read the series knew that sooner or later Izzy was going to find out that Ty was not her biological father. But god I felt for poor Ty she was a total brat, Jennifer Foor nailed it when she wrote Ty’s total and utter desolation at his relationship with Izzy breaking down.

My only slight criticism is how similar Izzy’s reaction was to Noah’s in Blinding Trust book #7. Now I know that it is a different situation in that Izzy had no idea that Ty wasn’t her biological father but it felt abit samey to me.

I love that Ty & Miranda are still horny as ever, the scene with the attempted anal sex had me literally LOLing.

The comedy elements of this book are what makes reading book #9 feel like coming home, I feel like I know these characters and they feel real. I love that Ty & Miranda have silly sexual calamities it makes the rest of us feel normal lol.

Ty is a flipping comedy genius every stupid thing he says and does is hilarious!!
I was so gutted when I found out that this would be the last book in this series so I have been sitting on it in my ereader and I will admit I have put off reading it. When I realised that the spin off series The Mitchell/Healey Family was coming out which follows the lives of the kids from the Mitchell Family series I was over the moon and felt ready to read this book.

I know it sounds daft but I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the characters and now I don’t have to lol.

Overall I loved this book it was the perfect ending to a brilliant series and I cannot wait to get started on Noah now.

I have a feeling I know what the "secret" is.





----------------------------------------------------

So my prediction above was correct!

This book, unlike the other books which were based heavily on the romance, was based a lot on family. More specifically the relationship between Izzy and Ty.

**ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review**


So this is the 9th book in the Mitchell Series and I have to say that they just keep getting better. This book was a little different from the others in the series, in my opinion. This story really focused on Izzy/Bella and Miranda and Ty. Don't get me wrong there was drama in this one just like the others but it really wasn't caused by a malicious outsider like in the past books. This was caused by someone just making a random comment that opened a whole can of worms. What this book really gives us, is an accurate look at what could happen to a family when a lie that was meant to be buried is brought to the surface and what those consequences are. We watch Ty, Miranda and Izzy suffer to figure out how to cope with the truth. This book was chocked full of emotions. My heart was ripped open while reading this book. Ty was never my favorite of the series in the beginning, but he has definitely grown on me and my heart broke for him in this book. Especially since over the course of this series we have seen the lengths he was willing to go to for Izzy. Now don't get me wrong this book isn't all crying and heartbreaking….we do actually still get to see the funny and horny side of Ty. We got to see Ty and Miranda reconnect after all that came out and that was great. I loved the bathtub/toilet scene. I laughed so hard!!!!! We also got to see how the whole Mitchell/Healy clan rallied together to help Ty and Miranda get through everything that happens in this book.

I will say that this is probably my all time favorite series and I really don't ever want to see it end. I love that as the books come out we are getting to see the kids grow up and what is becoming of them.

If you are a Mitchell Family Fan or a Jenn Foor Fan, then you don't want to miss this addition to the series.

Nothing hurts more than when your child is hurting... Talk about ripping our hears out... One moment you are laughing until you cry (the twins are quite the trouble maker - especially with bananas in public and the tub scene at the beach) and the next you are sad and have totally different type of tears running down your face (Sam, poor Ty, etc). I don't like to give too much away though, so you'll have to read the book to see the full story, but here is a bit about the final Mitchell family book...

Bella or Izzy (depending on which parent is talking) is 11 and has been the light of Ty's life. When he finds her burning up one morning he thinks his life is over. He jumps in a cold bath with her while Miranda calls 911. It takes them a while, but they do figure out what's wrong, a month later she gets release from the hospital. The family goes to Kentucky to celebrate her release and is greeted with sad news. Sam (Colt and later Noah's best buddy and dog) has passed away in her sleep. Ty has a great idea to make everyone happy ... he takes Izzy puppy shopping - a decision which could end his relationship with her forever...

Give this book a try to see what happens with Ty and his daughter Izzy!

Don't worry ... I did say this was the FINAL Mitchell book, but coming up next is all the kids stories in the Mitchell/Healy series - starting with Noah!

Favorite passages:
- “My motto was always ‘if it tasted good, you eat it’...”
- “You were born in the backseat and from the moment I saw your beautiful face, everything changed for me. I never felt love like I felt for you, instantly, as if I was meant to feel that way about you. You changed me and made me want to be different. Everything I have is because of the love you showed me.”

Ahhh... the Mitchell family. I've been loving this family and author for a while now. This is the ongoing saga of the Mitchell Family- each family lives in two states- Kentucky and North Carolina. Both live on ranches and work them. It's hard to explain their relationships with each other since it'll end up sounding redneck since they are all kind of interconnected in one way or another. I've always been a sucker for Ty and Miranda and have rooted for them since their book. I love the pranks, banter, and wit these characters show and the love they have for each other and their family. I will say, if I had read these books individually I think I would have been chomping at the bit for the next novel. However, since I was lucky enought to buy them in a series, I did have to take a break from the family for a bit to read other things. I think for me, if I discovered these in individual books, I would have salivated and cherishes each novel more. Still, I have recommended this series to my fellow readers. If I had to compare this series to any other, I would say it's very similar and along the same lines of Kelly Elliott's Wanted Series, Broken Series. I will definately continue to read more Jennifer Foor books. She's yet to dissapoint!

I was pulled into this story right from the get go, which is where I stayed until I had read every single word that was written. At the same time I had my mini movie playing along in my head. Love it when that happens.
Emotions run rife through this book, I went through each and everyone of them along with the characters. I have to admit though, there was a character or two I really wanted to punch, but they redeemed themselves before the end of the book. I might of cried once or twice, so if you are anything like me you might want to make sure you have tissues on hand.
There are surprises throughout this story, some you may see coming, where others you won't. Some are large while others are small, some of the surprises may hit you square in the face, where others may pull on your heart strings. But each and everyone of them holds equal importance within the book.
I have read this book on more than once and have enjoyed it each and every time, even cried at the same places.
I highly recommend this book and this author.

Every time another instalment featuring the Mitchell families is released its a must have for me. Jennifer Foors ability to make the reader feel part of this family and every emotion they are feeling and going through you are right there with them going through the same thing.
When Ty and Miranda's daughters Isabella finds out that she's not Ty's biological daughter, hearts are broken feelings are hurt and tension reigns. For so child of eleven to find out such a piece of information is devastating along with the fact that your biological father never wanted you and was an evil criminal makes it that much worse.

My heart broke for Ty because Isabella was his life, she gave him back his.
You will laugh, cry tears of sadness and tears of joy. Your heart will feel like it's been ripped out put back together and filled with more love.
Can't wait to see what teenage/adult antics this fabulous family's children have to offer in their own stories.
Thank a Jenn Foor

Ok, I love the Mitchell Family Series. Tyler and Miranda are my third favorite couple of the series.

The love and devotion Tyler has for Bella is one that captures your heart. It's not easy being a parent and being a step parent is even harder but Tyler as never viewed Bella as anything less than his daughter. In his eyes, Bella is his child and nothing is going to change that not even when the secrets they wanted to keep buried come to the surface.

When secrets are revealed, Bella struggles to come to terms with them. The man she has always known as her father, isn't her biological father. Does DNA make you someones father/daughter. In Tyler's and Bella's case it does not. Chris Young's - It Takes A Man has the perfect example:"Any fool can make a baby but it takes a man to raise a child". Tyler is that man for Bella.

I'm excited to see the cousins series come to light and I hope we get a little more of Colt, Van, Conner and Amy too.

So I have read all of the Mitchell Family books. Letting Go has always been my favorite for one very big reason, it was believable. I love this series, but I have caught myself on many occasions rolling my eyes and asking how many bad things can really happen to one group of people.

Loving Her was different though, in an amazing way. There are now kidnappings, stalker exs, or crazy story lines. This is a real story of family, the love a father has for his daughter, and the things he is willing to do to prove that love to her.

As a mother whose daughter is raised, and loved, by a man who is not biologically her father, I know that DNA does not make a man a father. I related to this story on so many levels. It made me smile and broke my heart at the same time.

Jennifer Foor, without a doubt, went out on top with this one. This may be the last book in the series, but to me, it is also the best.

I first read this book 4/11 - 5/2/14 & I totally forgot how emotional this one was & how much I wanted to smack Ty & Miranda’s daughter, Isabella, for acting the way she was. She’s now 11 & after a stay in the hospital for something, they decided to visit the Mitchell Farm just to get her away for a bit. There, she found out some information that made her somewhat turn against her dad. It was traumatizing to her & I understood why she acted out as harsh as she was doing, but she needed to wake up & listen to why things were done the way they were. It was sad she ever had to find out, but in a way it was probably a good thing. Jennifer Foor wrote it in such a good way that my heart really ached for them. Not knowing what to do to get their little girl back to the way things used to be, they had to resort to some tough love. Yes this one brought tears to my eyes. I’m so glad I re-read this series so now I can start on the kids “all grown up” novels ( the Mitchell/Healy Series).

OMG OMG OMG another winning book from Jennifer Foor. I have to say that I enjoyed this one but it was not one of my fav. in the series but it did not disappoint. I loved reading about Ty and Randa, and how they had to cope with the things that was going on with Bella/Iz. Its never easy keeping secretes from love ones. My advice is to just be honest and hope that the person sees the truth as it is. I enjoyed reading the ups and downs in this book as normal Ty is a freaking mess. He will never grow up but at the same time will do anything for his family and has shown that time after time. I loved the ending getting to see that Bella finally excepted the truth and the family became one again. I cant wait to read the kids books. This is on series that can keep going and going. I really wanted to get more of Colt and Van but one can only wish. lol

With this book I was surprised that Ty/Miranda and Bella's past would come into play. I didn't expect Bella to become a little pre-teen monster when she learned things. I actually hated the little girl, especially when it came out that she knew what she was doing to her family. I thought that Ty's plan, actually a last ditch effort, was a good one, really, the only one left to try to fix the family. Was it drastic, yes, but at this point everything else had been tried. I liked that Van came clean with her part in the past, both of Bella and Noah needed to know.

Because so much of this book had drama, it was a good thing that the rest of it was filled with Ty's zany antics and the not always proper sexicapdes between Ty and Miranda.

I thought the ending was sweet, just what we needed to see.

The 9th book in the Mitchell Series focuses on Bella "Izzy", Miranda and Ty. What happens when a parent tries to hide who their child's biological father is only for her to find out and destroy the relationship of the father/daughter relationship she has only known.

When a person from Miranda's past makes a comment about Izzy looking like her father opens many questions. When she finds the answers by the web and is told the truth, only brings on a very hurtful and rebellious child. Ty still shows his funny and horny side but we also see how loosing that close connection with Izzy has affected Ty. He feels that he lost part of his heart and does not know how to repair the damage to his relationship with his daughter.

Read to see how all the Mitchell's/Healy family comes together to help and will Izzy/Ty have that daughter/father bond again.......

I absolutely love this series and am so sad that its over. Another amazing book to add to this series and a wonderful way to end it. Ty and Miranda are my favorite couple in the series, theirs lives have never been magical or easy but they still love each other whole heartedly.
This book really hit home for me because my family did the same thing for our son as Ty and Miranda did for Isabella. Its my biggest fear that son will find out the truth and act out in the same way.
Brought me tears and made me laugh out loud, a must read if you want to feel the love and support that a wonderful family shares!

This book is all about the term "you reap what you sow". Ty and Miranda have tried to shelter Izzy from the truth about her father and his shady character. As usual, lies come out and then consequences of those lies need to be dealt with. This story was a pretty good one showing the depth of Ty's love for Izzy and how they worked through this deception to find their place as father/daughter. I still find Miranda needing to do some growing up and taking accountability for her stupid decisions, as she does little to make this situation any better by still lying to Izzy throughout the first part of this book. Overall a great book and series.
