The book starts where book 6 left off. The family is at Conner and Amy’s oldest daughter’s fifth birthday party.
Once the family arrives home, Colt is visited by someone from his past, (KRISTA’S BROTHER)who has changed his name to Zeke. He is a recovering addict and the lead singer of a popular rock band. Zeke is only visiting for one reason. He wants to know the nephew he hasn’t seen in ten years.
Colt and Savanna do not want their son around someone like Zeke. His lifestyle is no good for a curious ten year old. When they put their foot down, Zeke brings in his fancy attorney to persuade them to change their minds.
In the meantime, Savanna struggles with her relationship with Noah. He blames her for not being allowed to hang out with Zeke and a wedge is formed between them, breaking apart the tight bond they’ve always shared.
To make matters worse, while Colt tries to keep the peace between his family, Savanna gets news pertaining to herself that could change everything. Who she chooses to share that information with is what complicates things even more. This seventh edition involves family secrets and what can happen when trust is blinded.

These are my thoughts/feelings while reading this book - WARNING THERE ARE SPOILERS!!!!
Fav. Quotes (There's alot!)
- Through the years it was almost like I forgot that I hadn’t birthed him myself. I love him just as much as my own girls. Our family just wouldn’t have been the same without him in it.
- “What is your secret? You look ravishing. Your hair is so shiny.” She played with her hair. “If I told you, you may throw up.” “Seriously? It can’t be that bad.” Ty walked past quickly, spatting out one word. “Cum!” I almost threw up in my mouth. Miranda started to laugh as she followed her husband. “Told ya. It’s full of proteins. You should try it.” Still trying to not throw up, I shook my head. “No thanks!” Colt cocked his eyebrow, while carrying Addy. “Sick! That’s what they are.” “Yeah, but there are family and we have to love them, right?” “Sometimes, darlin’, that’s debatable.”
- It didn’t matter to me if Colt’s whole head turned gray. He would always be the hottest man that I would ever know.
- “Do you know how crazy you make me, woman?”
- I needed to kiss her and she knew it was what I wanted, because she pulled away, teasing me and not letting me have it.
- Even as a grown man, who had been with this woman for so many years, she still got me on a level that I couldn’t even explain.
- She still didn’t know how beautiful she was to me. While my wife took control of our afternoon delight, I ran my hands all over her sexy physique.
- I can’t imagine a life without you in it.” “You don’t ever have to, because you’re right where you belong, darlin’.
- “I’d never get over you, Savanna. Losin’ you would kill me.”
- “I know what I know. You were always the one. Thinking about you bein’ with Ty still makes my blood boil.”
- “Son, this is what being a parent is all about. There is good and there is bad. I hate to tell you this, but the rebelling doesn’t go away over night. I’m afraid this is probably just the beginning.”
- How was I supposed to choose my wife’s happiness over my son’s safety?
- “You know I hate when you hurt, Savanna. I wish I could make things easier for you.”
- I want you, Savanna.”
- The room became hot as I tugged at the waist of his jeans, to loosen them enough to get his big boy out.
- Things were going to be okay. I couldn’t stand to live without this man or any of our children. It just wasn’t an option
- “Noah, you healed her. You healed her heart even when I couldn’t do it. She loves you unconditionally and she doesn’t deserve what you’re puttin’ her through right now. You need to figure out how to make things better.”
- I shook my head, thinking about my daughter turning my beloved GI Joe gay. Poor Joe!
- They heard the door creak and turned to look at me. Giant eyes, displaying makeup fit for two clowns just stared back at me.
- “I love you so much, Colt. Please don’t ever doubt that.”
- His strong arms surrounded my body, leaving me feeling completely safe and overwhelmed with desire for him. We were alone and all of my worries seemed to fade away with every precious touch of his lips to my skin.
- I could feel his teeth against my own as I increased my seductiveness, by moving my body like I was jumping up and down. I could hear little sounds escaping him the faster I moved.
- Everyone thinks that it can’t happen to them. The truth is, it could happen to any of us.
- I wasn’t a pussy. I’d been to strip clubs and had exotic dancers all over me before. This was different. Once I met Savanna, those days were over for me. I had no interest in being turned on by another woman. She gave me everything I needed.
- Before I could say anything, Ty pulled me into a tight hug. “I got here as soon as I could.” “What are you doing here?” “I’m taking care of my best friend, like I said I would. Geesh, do I have to spell it out?”
- He pulled one of my hands down and held it. “I’m here because you need me to be, whether you will admit it or not. I have no hidden agenda and I sure as hell don’t want your money. Like it or not, you’re going to tell me.”
- For Ty to hop on a plane to come to my rescue was just surreal. I knew he cared about me. We were family and that’s how it should be, but I just couldn’t believe that he would drop everything to make sure I was alright.
- Miranda and Ty had always been there for me. Their love continued to grow, as well as the trust that they shared. No matter how much the man joked, she knew he was always just going to love her.
- It was hard, having to choose between your child and your wife, when they both seemed to need me equally.
- Noah was such a special little piece of my life. I believed with all my heart that he was sent to me from heaven to take away all of the pain in the past that I had been dealt with. Not only had he healed my heart, but he filled it with a love that I could have never imagined existed. That little boy was my hero.
- “Would you please stop being so negative? I get that you’re scared. Hell, I’m scared for you, but we have to have hope, because without that, we have nothing.” He rubbed his face. “Let’s just…We need a beer!”
- A house is not a home until it’s filled with real whole-hearted love. It can’t be bought with any kind of money.”
- “Where I come from, marriage is sacred. I promised to love and be faithful to my wife and I meant that shit. I think you need to be honest with yourself before you can make decisions for other people.”
- “You were so sweet to me back then.” I think I was blushing thinking about it. “I had to make you my girl, so I didn’t have to act that way around anyone else. Besides, I knew you’d turn out to be beautiful. Even an ugly duck can be a beautiful swan.” He was showing me that side again, which meant that he was concerned about me. I squeezed his hand. “Aside from the cheating, you always took care of me. You may have been a terrible boyfriend, but you were an amazing best friend. I can’t imagine my life without you in it.” I reached over and kissed him on the cheek. “ I know I said I was mad, but I’m glad you’re here, Ty. I don’t think anyone could get me through this the way that you can.” Ty smiled. He leaned his head back on the couch. “You’re going to be okay, Van. No matter what, I just know you are.”
- I got right up in his face. “This thing with my son is done! I heard everything. Did you think you could just use him and toss him out like he wasn’t blood? So help me God, you are so lucky that my son is standin’ here, because I would like nothin’ more than to tear your ass apart. Find another kid to play the part, because my son is done with you! If you come near me or my family again, you’ll be sorry!”
- “What is this? Are you choosin’ him over me?” My heart was being ripped apart with jealousy.
- I needed to get away from them. She was protecting him and I couldn’t stand being around it. I felt like I was back under that tent hearing her accept his proposal, so long ago. It made me want to be sick.
- “Oh, hell, Savanna. I didn’t know. I just thought he was tryin’ to take you from me.” I could tell he felt terrible and there was a part of me that wanted him to. He should have just talked to me, instead of losing his temper. No matter how old he got, some things just didn’t change.
- Just because something bad was happening to me, doesn’t mean we can just give up on our kids.
- Those beautiful green eyes were watered up. “I’m so sorry, Savanna. I’d fall apart without you, darlin’. Nothin’ makes sense in my life if you’re not in it.” He grabbed my hand and kissed it.
- Colt held me tight. I could hear him sniffling, but refused to look up at his face. “Please don’t talk like that. I don’t care what it costs, or what we have to do. If the results are positive for cancer, we’ll beat it together. Never talk about it bein’ the end, darlin’. Please don’t ever do that.” Colt was starting to lose it. The sniffling was becoming more frequent and I knew that he wasn’t going to leave my side.
- Darlin’, I was missin’ you too much to pay any attention to other women.”
- You’re his mother and he knows it. That kid will never stop lovin’ you. He couldn’t survive without your love. None of us could.”
- I started crying again. “It’s okay. No matter what happens, I’m always going to love you with all of my heart. Nobody can ever change that. You’ll always be my son.”
- “Can we go get our girls? I told your mom I’d wait, but I want to see them.” I found it to be so sweet that Colt missed his girls.
- It was great to see the smiles of both of our girls. I’d missed them all more than I even knew possible. Our life may have seemed boring to others, but it meant everything to us. Being away, and seeing how some people live, made me appreciate just what I had at home. I think it did the same for Noah.
- Nothing felt better than to walk into a public establishment with my wife and kids at my side.
- I loved my life and imagining spending a second without my wife was enough to rip my heart straight out of my chest.
- “I want to take you upstairs.” I teased her lips with mine “I want to undress you, slowly.” I kissed her gently, letting my tongue drag over her bottom lip. “Then I want to be inside of you, darlin’.” I licked my lips, imagining what it felt like to make love to my wife. I needed to get her up to our room, before the couch became where we ended up.
- She moaned when I kissed her this way and it turned me on every time I heard it.
- The slower I tried to go, the faster Savanna grinded against me. She was forcing me to keep going, even though I didn’t have much left before I couldn’t go anymore.
- “Everything’s goin’ to be okay. Nothin’s goin’ to take you away from us.”
- “I ain’t goin’ to lose you,
- I could see the pain that he was carrying. His eyes were red and I knew he’d gotten emotional in his office. “It ain’t goin’ to. Savanna, please stop talkin’ like that. You’ve got so much to live for, darlin’. I don’t think I could live a single day without you. We all need you. I don’t care how hard it gets. You’re goin’ to fight this. You hear me?”
- I burst into laughter. I just couldn’t help it. The day had been so horrible and only Ty could make a joke out of something so serious. I didn’t know if I was just being ridiculous, or I really found him funny. He wasn’t trying to be a jerk. He wanted me to have a reason to smile. Ty wanted me to be able to see something funny out of what I feared. He wanted to know that every single time I thought about that surgery, I thought about the funny things he’d said. I loved him for that.
- Whoever created sadness is an asshole!
- I get it. Listen, if you need to smile, you know where to find me. I’m only a phone call away. I’d do anything to take this pain away from you, Van. You’re the best person that I’ve ever known. We all love you so much.
- I had children to raise and a family to grow old with. I wasn’t going to let some little mass in my breast end my life. Not when I had a million reasons to live.
- Even at her worst, she was still one hell of a mother.
- She bit my bottom lip and pulled it back, while making this growling sound that drove me wild. It was rare that she got this way and it was always because she was taking out stress. My dick didn’t care what the reason was. I wanted more.
- “Savanna, I don’t care what you look like. I will never stop lovin’ you. Now get your ass back over here and love me.”
- “The sooner I go, the faster they can get done. I love you with my whole heart, Savanna.” He was getting choked up and I needed to let him go.
- She was so beautiful to me. I didn’t care about a scar, or the way she would look with a double mastectomy. She was my everything and nothing could ever taint the way I felt about her. If anything, I loved her more for being so
- For the first time ever, Noah declined on his invitation to go see Bella. Ever since that day in the hospital, he’d never left her side. I think he believed that if he was with her all of the time, nothing bad could happen. It was both sweet and alarming. I worried that he really feared if he turned his back for a second, she’d be gone. I didn’t want him living his life like that.
- “Darlin’, you’re drivin’ me crazy.” I bit down on my lip. “Mmm, that’s the point.” He growled and came forward quickly, catching me off guard.
- We were acting like teenagers and I loved it. Colt kept laughing, while trying to finally grab me.
- This whole game was about the chase. The closer I got to that west field, the stronger the storm was getting. “Lose the clothes, cowboy!”
- He reached his hands up and ran them down my arms. “You’re so damn beautiful.” I felt his stubby face rubbing against my neck, before his wet tongue slid up to my ear. “We ain’t makin’ it to the combine.”
- “You like it when I fuck you?” He never talked like that anymore. It was freaking hot.
- “Yes!” I screamed and cried at the same time. My body was his and he could do whatever he wanted to it. This was even better than when we were younger. This was fueled by insatiable desire and pent up tension. We both needed to do this, to feel this. We needed to feel alive.
- My hips were swaying and I leaned back, running my muddy hands over my bouncing breasts. “Look at me, Colt. I want you watching me.” He nodded as I grinded even faster. When his eyes started rolling back, I knew he was losing control. He looked right at me and squinted as his body began to tighten beneath me. “Oh, God!” His body shook a few times before his head fell against my shoulder.
- “What the hell just happened? I mean, did we really just fuck in a damn cornfield, for the second time?” I laughed with him. “Yeah, we did. Maybe it’s our thing.”
- “I like it when you get like this.” “Crazy?” He shook his head. “No! Carefree. I love it when you let go, Savanna. It drives me wild.”
- “Fine. If you want to get all technical on me. I want you to fuck me every time it rains, Colt Mitchell.” His eyes got huge and a wicked smile formed in the corner of his mouth. “I think we can work somethin’ out”
- “We made up the guest room, but if you’d rather sleep out in the barn, that can be arranged.”
- “Are you going to go bigger? If I had a penis replacement, I’d go huge.” Savanna burst into laughter. “You need to!” “Hey now! Leave my little pecker out of this! Not everyone was born with a trunk like he was.” He pointed at me.
- “Well, my wife doesn’t have cancer. My kids are healthy and my business is growin’. I’d say that’s enough to smile about.”
- “You do realize that your breasts are going to look like they did when we first got together. Forgive me for bein’ an ass, but I’m a little excited about that. I can still picture seeing you naked for the first time. It gets me all kind of crazy.”
- “I love how you can be so serious and mature one second and then a normal thinking guy the next.” “What can I say, I’m pretty darn irresistible.” I laughed and nudged his side. “You’re lucky you’re so damn sexy and you’ve given me three beautiful children that look just like you. Otherwise, I may have had to slap you around from time to time.” He put his arm around me. “Darlin’ you can slap me around whenever you want. I know you like it rough.” “That’s our secret!” “Fine by me.”
- “Wow, are you going to be one of those dads that doesn’t let their daughters out of their sight?” It hurt to laugh at him, but I couldn’t help it. “Let’s just say that when the times comes for that, me and Noah will be outside, cleaning our guns as they arrive.” “Our poor girls!”
- When I married Savanna, I wanted nothing more than to grow old with her. I would do whatever I had to do, to make that happen.
- We took the kids out to celebrate the good news, but only Noah knew why. The look on his face was priceless and I don’t think his mother expected him to react the way he did. Noah threw his arms around her and just wouldn’t let go.
- “You can’t buy me my favorite food and expect me to abandon it. Don’t worry, Colt. I have all night to satisfy your every desire.”
- Every since she’s been diagnosed, she’d become freaky. Making love was like a natural nerve pill for her. The more she did it, the less stress she seemed to be under. Far be it from me to stop her. I was loving every minute of it.
- Her ass was always my favorite thing anyway. That woman could bend over and I’d want to hit it. Still, to this day, she had me begging.
- “Savanna Mitchell, will you do me the honor of marryin’ me again?” Her mouth dropped when I slid the anniversary band onto her ring finger. She wrapped her arms around me. “I might have to think about it,” she teased. “Don’t think too long. The family will be here next weekend to watch us do it.” She looked down at the ring again and smiled. “I guess I can go through with it again. I mean, you’re pretty much the best man to ever exist on the planet.”
- “I’m goin’ to try to make this short.” He faced me again and took both of my hands in his. “The past eleven or so years have been the best years of my life. Lovin’ you is the easiest thing I’ve ever had to do. Every single mornin’, when I get up to start my day, I look over at you sleepin’ and thank God for givin’ you to me.” He paused for a minute. “Several months ago, we had a big scare. Nobody ever wants to hear that they might lose the person they love. Life is precious, but I couldn’t see myself getting’ by without you by my side. Savanna, you are the glue that holds our family together. I just want you to know that no matter how old we get, no matter what we have to go through, no matter how hard we have to fight, I’m going to stand by you for the rest of my life. I love you, darlin’. I always have and I always will.”
- “You broke the guy code to have her!” Ty joked.
- I took Colt’s hands again and looked up at him. “It’s hard for me to put into words just how much you mean to me. It was easier when we were first married to just say what was on my mind. After all we’ve been through, it’s hard to find the words that can even compare to the way I’ve grown to love you even more. You say you watch me when I sleep. Well, when you’re not next to me at night, I can’t sleep. Sometimes hearing you snore comforts me. I feel like I need you to breathe. It’s as if my whole reason for existing solely depends on your love for me. I never could have gotten through the last few months without you. You weren’t just my caretaker. You were everything to me and the kids.
- “He wasn’t a good boyfriend, but he was my best friend. Does it really bother you, after all these years?” It was weird Colt was bringing it up. “As long as I’m your last, none of that matters.” “You’re my everything. How’s that?” “That’ll do.” Colt spun me around and planted another kiss on me. “I can’t wait to take that dress off of you again.” “I can’t wait either.”
“This life would kill me If I didn’t have you. I couldn’t live without you, baby. I wouldn’t want to. If you didn’t love me so much, I’d never make it through. ‘Cuz this life would kill me…This life would kill me if I didn’t have you.”
The Mitchell story continues and it is and it is an emotional one. This one is told by my favorite man Mr. Colt Mitchell and his lovely wife Mrs. Savanna Mitchell. We get all the other characters as well...Ty, Miranda, Conner and Amy. Which are all fantastic. Ty once again steals the show with his crazy humor. I totally felt you needed it in this book. Blinding Trust takes on some series issues; regarding heath and family. I also felt humor is the best medicine and even though Ty can get out of hand it totally help relieved the seriousness in this book. The man pushes the envelope that is for sure.
The family issues is regarding Colt and Savanna's son Noah. Colt and Savanna are not happy about this one tiny bit. Savanna is effected the most when it comes to Noah. Noah is extremely special to her and the events that take place really hurt and scared her. My heart broke for her and I couldn't even imagine what she was feeling.
The heath issue, is a series one and can be very hard to read about. Especially if you have been in the same situation or know someone that has. Our poor Savanna deals with a lot in this book, but with the help from her wonderful husband, family, friends and her best friend Ty she might just be able to get through anything.
This is an extremely emotional book so be prepared with a box of tissues. But, not to worry you will be crying happy tears at the end.
Some of my favorite moments from Noah.... "Noah came runnin’ out askin’ to go home. It turns out, all he wanted was his mother.”
“Dad, can you please take me home?”“It’s goin’ to be alright, son.” I hugged him. “I just want my mom,” he cried.
Noah looked up at me. “I was a jerk, too. I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean what I said to you.”
Thank you Jennifer Foor for giving me the opportunity to BETA read for you and for this wonderful series. Colt will forever be in my heart.
Best book of the series!!! There was such an rollercoaster of emotions in this book that you felt every up and down that went on. This is amazing story of staying strong and being there for your family no matter what's going on. Great job Jenn Foor!!
Now I may be biased with this book since C❤lt is my favorite Mitchell, but this was my favorite book of the series! I have had a heart for Savannah and C❤lt from the beginning and Jennifer Foor did an amazing job telling a story for them that was real and earth shattering.
C❤lt and Savannah have gone through quite a bit in the past 10+ years, but nothing could shake them for what is in store this year. They have the love and support of their family, but when life has you making certain decisions it is the trust of their relationship that is put to the test.
My favorite lines....
"Your breath smells like a dog took a crap in it ~ Ty to Jax"
"This life would kill me if I didn't have you. I couldn't live without you baby. I wouldn't want to. If you didn't love me so much, I'd never make it through. ~ C❤lt"
I am an avid reader, reading at least 3 books a week and this series has by far always been my favorite and Jenn Foor has continued my love for it with Blinding Trust book 7. Get your tissues ready because you will need them. There is just enough humor to give you a break from the heart breaking situations that come up. Jenn tackles two issues that Colt and Van face as being parents and a couple and Jenn nailed them. This book is full of emotions and I can’t even express how much it touched me. My tears flowed freely but so did my laughter. Colt and Van grow as a couple and the scenes with them are beautiful. They show how their love for each other gets them through these difficult times.
Jenn gives s a glimpse of all of the Mitchell clan and I love them all. This is not a book to be missed. I tend to always forget how amazing Jenn’s writing is between books but when I pick up another Jenn Foor book it all comes back to me why she is my favorite author. If you haven’t read this series start from the beginning and get to know and love these characters.
Savannah (Colt’s wife, Ty’s ex) the woman who has been through more anyone should have to endure. She is beautiful, strong, and a wonderful mother. She is madly in love with her husband.
Colt, (Savannah’s husband, Ty Conner and Miranda’s cousin) is the hot cowboy with a temper and a romantic side that will sweep you off of your feet. Oh and when he sings. He loves Savannah and their family more than anything. Swoon worthy.
Ty, (Colt’s cousin, Savannah’s ex, and Miranda’s husband) is the hot young jokester who is rarely serious. He is madly in love with his wife and is a great father. He likes being naughty and he will have you laughing out loud.
Miranda, (Ty’s wife, Colt’s cousin, and Conner’s sister) is a beautiful blonde who likes to be naughty with her husband. She and Ty have a beautiful daughter and twin boys that act just like their dad.
Conner, (Amy’s husband, Colt’s cousin, Miranda’s brother) is just hot, but of course they all are. Conner and Amy have been busy over the last 5 years.
I could go on and on. I really hope that you will read this series and get to know and love these characters as I do.
This series is my guilty pleasure, I like the redneck trashiness of them. It seemed like we should have been done with this series, all the people have had their HEA, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this book as it focus back on our original couple.
One thing that I really liked about this one is that it is set in the future, we get to see all of our characters be happy, but like in life, there are bumps in the road. I felt for Savannah and Colt with the new person that came in their lives. I actually thought that Savannah was right with things and hated Colt for the decisions he kept making without Savannah's input. I also hated Noah for how he acted, but he did get a little bit of a free pass from me because he is a kid and didn't really get how much his words and actions hurt.
I even agreed with Savannah's decision to keep the secret that she did, but was glad that she got the support she needed with Ty. For me a little bit of Ty goes a long way, his childish behavior can grate on my nerves, but with what was going in it was perfect to cut the tension. I hated how when Colt came home and the conclusion that he jumped to, he should have known better.
I was glad that everything got resolved and I liked the ending, it fit this crazy family.
We pick up where we left off in Saving Us, this time with Colt (swoon) and Savanna. Each Mitchell book just tops the last, this is by far my favourite series, Jenn Foor and Mitchell fans will not be disappointed, this book is amazing.
This is an emotional read but its also very funny. Colt and Savanna have a lot of ups and downs but there love for each other is so strong they can get through anything. Ty, Ty, Ty seriously he gets funnier in each book I love him, Colt and Savanna's story would not be the same without him. laughter really is the best medicine.
Colt and Savanna have a blast from the past come back into there life which creates family issues. Zeke, Krista's brother comes back wanting to get to know his nephew. Colt and Savanna don't want someone like Zeke in Noah's life, Zeke is a rock star who has a history with drugs, booze and women. Noah is completely taken with Zeke's lifestyle, Zeke goes as far to invite Noah to his place. This doesn't sit right with Colt and Savanna, Savanna's red flags go up and she pays the price with Noah. This causes issues with Colt, Savanna and Noah, its a very bumpy road between them, being a mother myself it was hard to read, I felt so bad for Savanna. Colt agrees to let Noah go and stay with Zeke but Colt is right there with him.
Savanna has a pretty rough time, not only is she dealing with the issues between her, Noah and Colt she has a health scare and deals with it on her own. This health scare is going to touch a lot of women, a lot of women have been through it or know someone who has. Savanna keeps her news from Colt while he is away as she doesn't want Noah hating her anymore. Savanna also keeps it from her while family but Ty knows there's something going on. Ty turns up on Savanna's door step to help his best friend through this hard time. The Mitchell's are one strong family unit and all of them are always there for each other.
This isn't just an emotional read its also very hot and steamy, after 11 years together Colt and Savanna are still as passionate about each other as they were when we first met them.
Jenn Foor I think you rock each book is better then the last, you know how to keep us wanting more!
THIS BK7 HAD A SUBJECT MATTER THAT I USUALLY DON'T READ ABOUT BUT SINCE THE AUTHOR GAVE A HEADS-UP BEFORE THE BOOK STARTED, I DECIDED TO CONTINUE. I LOVE THE MITCHELL FAMILY SERIES(ALL THE COVERS TOO)THIS IS MY SECOND FAVORITE FAMILY IN BOOKS, "THE BRADFORDS" (NEIGHBORS FROM HELL) BEING MY NUMBER #1 FAVORITE OF ALL. I THINK MS. FOOR DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH A VERY DIFFICULT SUBJECT AND KEPT THE MITCHELL'S JUST AS SEXY, CRAZY & LOVABLE AS THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN. I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE BOOKS BUT HOPE THE SUBJECT IS NOT AS HARD TO READ FOR ME. PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING WE ALL NEED TO KNOW AND MANY HAVE TO DEAL WITH. IT WAS SO WELL INCORPORATED INTO THE STORYLINE I WAS SURPRISED AT MYSELF BEING ABLE TO FINISH IT. I THINK BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING TO ONE OF THE FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN THE FIRST BOOKS I FEEL AS THOUGH I KNOW THEM PERSONALLY. I GUESS I DO, I'VE READ ALL OF THE BOOKS SO I HAVE WATCH ALL GROW INTO WHAT THEY ARE SO FAR.
Once again I was consumed by "the Mitchell family" world. I have read every book and short story in this series and am lovingly attached to all the sexy alpha Mitchell men, their beautiful heroines and now their children. And in this book, the gangs all here!!!
This story is not only about the love that Savanna and Colt have for each other, it is also about the love of a family. It is also a story about the fear associated with having a terminal illness and conquering that fear with recovery and survival. And of course, Jennifer Foor throws in a good measure of erotica, angst, humor and drama. It was truly a beautiful story.
It was not my favorite in the series, but I loved it just the same and felt like I was coming home just reading it.
Well I had the pleasure of reading an ARC Copy of Blinding Trust, given to me by Jennifer Foor. All I can say at this point is Jenn has done it again. I LOVED this book. This was probably one of the most emotional books Jenn has written in this series. I laughed, got mad, cried and of course felt the love. I absolutely love the whole Mitchell Clan and am so glad that we get to see all of them again in this book. If you love the Mitchell Family as much as I do you will DEFINITELY want to pick this book up when it RELEASES ON FRIDAY JUNE 7TH
Blinding Trust was a really good read. What I have enjoyed about each book in this series is how easy it is to get right back into the story. Each book has been filled with loads of drama, emotion and romance and I now feel as though I know each character personally. Jennifer Foor somehow manages to write a new book every few months so I love that I never have to wait long for the next instalment with the wonderful Mitchell Family. highly recommend!!
Pure emotion and real life story! The pain and doubt that you face when your spouse is away, the fact that we always try and do what's best by keeping secrets or putting others first! What a beautiful story of what marriage is actually like (without the famous uncle)...but the real difficulties of getting older, temptation, blended family struggles....
this was my favorite so far Savanna and Colt are older rising their family and big things start to happen 1st Krista brother(Noah birth mother)brother Zeke comes stris up trouble and causing a riff between her and Noah and in turn between her and Colt then Savanna deals with a life and death matter while they are away leaving Ty to be there for her. when the truth comes out Colt is there every step of the way and Noah loves and heals like only a child can for a mother i loved this book one of my favorite series cant wait for more:)My Savaannaand Colt[image error][image error]
Another Mitchell Hot and Humorous Hit! I have loved all of these books so far! They continue right from the place the last one left off and keep sharing more news about each person in the Mitchell family. I love the cockiness of Ty and Conner, but in this book we get to see the softer side of Ty. He has so grown up over the last 10+ years from Van's boyfriend, in a coma from crashing while driving drunk on the way home from a party. Now he is a loving husband to Miranda and their three kids, as well as taking care of the rest of the Mitchell's when needed. And now a bit about this story...
Noah's uncle, a long lost relative, comes back and starts to drive a wedge between Savanna and Colt. Just before Colt is about to go out of town Savanna gets some bad news, but decides to keep it to herself. While Colt and Noah are out visiting Noah's uncle, Savanna just needs someone to talk to, so she calls Miranda - but Ty answers. He can tell something is wrong and finally drags it out of her. In no time he is on a flight from North Carolina to Kentucky to help take care of her and her girls. When Colt comes home early, he thinks the worst and has given Ty a black eye before they can explain anything. Once he kinds out what is really going on he comes around real quick and goes back to being the strong and loving the father and husband we have grown to love. Give this series or story a try, you will not be sorry.
Favorite passages: She was playing some game on her kindle that she played every night before bed. ... "Are you goin' to put down that game and give me some lovin'"... I heard her little reading device hit the floor and I knew I had her complete attention. --> this reminded me so much of me, I read instead of play games, but take my kindle to bed every night ;)
Flashback: I ran my hands across his cheek, spreading a trail of dirt everywhere I touched. Mud ran down his chest and as the lightning continued to strick, I could see just how dirty he was. --> I'm going to think of this every time it rains now ;)
I liked this book, but I'm not a huge Colt and Savannah fan. I really liked them in the first book, but it seems like each book after that Savannah gets more and more whiny. I understand her being scared about Noah and what he does hurts her feelings, but come on. He's a kid going through a lot. Most kids at some point yell at their parents and act like they can't stand them. They grow out of it.
I didn't particularly care how Colt handled certain situations. I thought he was overly dramatic involving the whole Ty scenario. He knew Miranda was OK with him being there and he was only there because she couldn't be. That should have clued him in that something more serious than what he thought was going on, was happening. I personally would NOT be happy with my husband if he jumped the gun like that, especially with what he was surrounded by when he was gone. Trust goes both ways.
Also, concerning the health scare. I know first hand what it feels like to get that sort of news and I understand everyone handles trauma differently, but personally, I didn't see Van as the "strong woman" she was described as. She moped around, cried constantly, and asked every doctor if she was going to die. It would have been better and "stronger" if she would have asked how to beat this and what are her chances were of it returning and options. Again, she just jumps the gun and assumes I'm going to die. If I were to say anyone were strong in her situation, it would have been Colt and Noah. They stepped and made sure everything was handled. They were her "rock", not the other way around.
And seriously??? After you have a biopsy, the last thing you care about is having "relations" with your husband. Nothing personal to any husbands, but that takes a lot out of you. But Savannah? Nope. She's super woman and can handle it. Think about it, any sex position is going to cause motion to "the girls". Not exactly comfortable after having a mass removed, but to each his own.
All in all, it was OK. I much prefer Miranda and Tyler, but that's just a personal opinion.
Jennifer Foor is just amazing, she has a fantastic style and amazing choice of words and a great way of communicating her ideas to the readers. I just love the Mitchell Family series, but this book just surpassed any expectations I had for it!!!!
I needed to read a romance that was not the "beginning "of their lives. If you have read the story of Colt and Savannah on book 1 of the series you will totally understand where their marriage stands after 10 years and that is why I could not put this book down.
The storyline is real and you as a reader are completely engaged and taken by surprise with each page you turn. The story is not predictable at all. Remember characters here did not go through any type of trauma during their teenage years or their lives, they are just an average and happy American family. They are all "good cowboys and well raised by their traditional southern Mama".
It works for me as I needed a break from all the broken characters, dark feelings, multimillion dollars Alpha male that rescues the virgin broken girl. I wanted something normal and real with a twist and Foor delivers that in a superb way.
After 10 years Savannah and Colt Mitchell are going around with their families and daily routine they are caught by surprise by a visitor and a visit to the doctor! This is the story simple but yet full of romance and emotions together with great laughter. You will hold your breath, you will turn the page and you will stalk Foor for her next book on the series....So go ahead and purchase, if you like Abbie Glines, you will love Jennifer Foor. If you like: Crazy Little Thing, Wait for me and When you are ready, you will love the Mitchell Family.
As a fan I ask you to please don't stop the series, I want to read about Noah and Bella's life as well as their cousins, keep the Mitchell family alive for me to read!
I Myself have read many books and everyone has there favorites or authors they no that no matter what they write its going to be amazing. My first book i ever read happen to be by this an amazing Jenn Foor every since i have been hooked, but i will tell you all right not that i'm not just saying this cause i love her work or a big fan, i'm telling you this because her work is all what its suppose to be just plain damn good. Blinding Trust is the 7th in the series unlike movies that have seconds or thirds that should never happen this book does not fall under those circumstances. blinding trust is another chapter in Cote And Vans life ( which are my fav). As i started reading i knew right away this book was going to knock my socks off the story line is solid and brings up real life family issues. Each page takes you on a different ride you laugh, cry get angry and fall in love, all what a good book should do. After 7 books you have become part of a family that you want to visit on Sundays spend holidays with and do nothing more then be in there life. You fall in love with everyone in the family, want your kids to be the kinda kids in her stories. Van is faced with a life changing event that has touch everyone just once in life, they way the situation is handle is amazing. its a page turner and when i say page turner i mean you don't stop till the last page and then you realize you want more and start it all over again. Jenn is one of of those authors that if you don't have at least one of her books in your kindle then your book library is missing out big time. Thanks again for a read that is beyond perfect.
Absolutely the best book in the series so far!! I am absolutely still in love with Van and Colt and this book just made me so happy for them. I found myself so emotional throughout this book for so many reasons. I don't know exactly why, but I completely felt every emotion Van was going through. There was a point in the book while Colt was in California that I really did not like him, but of course he made up for all of it once he made it home. And Noah. Ugh, I don't know where to start with how he made me feel throughout. I do have to admit that I wished the Zeke storyline had turned out different, and more positive, but I understand where it was coming from. I love Colt. I love Van. I LOVE Ty (and seeing as how I was conflicted about him in the first book, he really has grown to one of my favorite characters). I seriously can't tell you how sad I will be the day that this series comes to an end because I LOVE this family so much!!
All that being said, I do have to admit I am not happy about the choice of character for the next book. I get that she has changed, and I saw the story there from the minute she appeared in this book, but I want to continue with Van/Colt/Randa/Ty. I don't really have any desire to read anything about Heather. Will I read it? Absolutely and without a doubt, but I really only plan to in hopes of getting more of my favorite Mitchell family in the in between!
Hands down the best of 7 is book 7, I love the Mitchell family and have always said that Colt and Van were my favorites of the family, don’t get me wrong I love Conner and Amy, Ty and Miranda. This book was a true roller costar ride I was in tears a lot while reading this book very emotional.
Van oh man where to start with this chick. If you have not read the 1st 6 books stop and read them before you read this one. Van has been through so much way to much in her short 30yrs of live. She is so loving, giving, and caring. In book one she got her heart broken by her 1st love. Then fell in love with his cousin. Then they got married got pregnant then something awful hit them she got kidnapped by Amys baby dad and mother N law while trying escape she got hurt and lost the baby. Then Noah came in her life (Colts son that he didn’t know he had) he made things easy after all she just wanted to be a mom. A couple books later she gets pregnant again they have a daughter life goes on. Then another book they have a third child another girl things are looking up for Van and Colt. That is until book 7.
You must read all 7 books, if I tell any more of the story I will have to hut someone lol. The books will tell you not only about Van and Colt but about Ty and Miranda, as well as Conner and Amy.
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!
Wow the drama this book entailed definitely rocked the issue of love and trust, Savanna is such an amazing character, she always picked herself up when faced with heartache and tried to put Colt and the kids first, despite her own personal tribulations, her love for Colt and as a mother to Noah was tested and it was an emotional read what she was having to endure, Colt really needed to understand what she was going through and be more supportive as I put myself in Savanna's shoes. Colt behaved and made some decisions by himself which caused a rift between him and Savanna, the drama was brilliant, testing their marriage to the core, Ty was hilarious with his banter and love for Savanna, it was great to read Colt having to deal with jealousy issues lol, but he shows how much Savanna means to him and how he couldn't live without her in his life. Tearjerker of a read and you won't be left out! Totally got absorbed in deep with Colt and Savanna, just didn't want the book to end as they are my favourite pair. Their love for each other was just beautiful (sigh) This makes my favourite list, firm re-read!
I first read this book 7/3/13 - 7/6/13 & once again I loved it just as much the 2nd time around. This was a very emotional book. Lots of tension between Colt and Savanna and some including their almost 11 yr old, Noah. Noah found out about his real mother’s brother, who is a famous rock star. He was excited about meeting him but his parents were not, as the life a rock star leads isn’t any place for a young kid. Colt ended up taking Noah to visit his uncle & his wife where they found out a whole lot of information about the two of them. It was shocking to find out. All the while they were visiting California, Savanna was going through some health issues that were stressing her out. All of this caused a lot of tension between her and Colt. My heart hurt for both of them. The emotions in this book made me think hard about what others have gone through and what I could possibly go through one day, God forbid. I loved how Jennifer ended this one though. It definitely put a smile on my face. Oh and this one was definitely not lacking Ty’s humor. God I love him! LOL
Book seven in the Mitchell series brings the testing of trust and love for Savanna and Colt. When Krista's brother makes an appearance to see his sister's son after ten years, he brings trouble to Noah and Savanna's relationship.
Savanna has always been the foundation to her family always putting her husband and children first. When Noah overhears a conversation he tells her he hates her and starts to have a rebellious attitude. Colts starts making decisions without consulting with Savanna which brings a strain on their marriage.
Colt takes Noah to California to visit Zeke (Krista's brother)while Savanna receives bad news which sends Ty to come and help her in dealing with this health issue.
Ty was hilarious with his love and banter for Savanna. Colt is dealing with jealousy issues with Ty being with Savanna during his time in California. When he returns and is told the news about Savanna's, we then see how much Savanna means to him and couldn't live without her in his life.
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.
