Addison
Addison Mitchell has been through tough times in her young life. She’s recovered from a drug addiction, and begun a future helping others with similar problems. Unexpectedly, she meets Cole Chase. He’s handsome, thoughtful, and falls head over heels for her immediately.
There’s just one problem…
Carrying the same last name as someone who brought the Mitchell family so much pain leaves Cole unwelcome. Addison’s parents and siblings will stop at nothing until they break up the couple.
Can Cole and Addison prove he’s nothing like his uncle, Tucker Chase, or will the past keep them from having a future?

My thoughts/feelings while reading - lots of quotes included (May have spoilers) :) -
0% Book next up :) will probably start this either tomorrow or Wednesday? :) I'm intrigued by this idea :) I thought I'd caught up on this series a couple moths ago and now I'm two books behind again so I'm trying to catch up :)
3% My dad and I had a strained relationship for a while. It broke my heart, but not nearly as much as his. I once heard him crying to my mother in their bedroom. He kept repeating how he failed me. I’d replayed hearing him so many times I’d lost count. Upsetting him, breaking him down, it was the lowest of lows for me. I knew I’d never do another drug again. It wasn’t just a promise to myself. It was a silent vow to him. The moment I shared that with my dad, things changed for us
Awww Colt! <3 I'm glad that their relationship is better now n that Addison realised why he's protective :D
12% As much as I hated the way it seemed like Cole had used Joe’s family, I couldn’t help thinking of a little boy, alone and scared in the world. He’d been dealt a tough life from the beginning, but that didn’t mean everyone had to give up on him
I agree Addison! I love that Coles different for her - she's drawn to him! I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of Cole (and addison) - I'm intrigued n I'm hoping I'm really going to enjoy this one :D I know I am so far :)
13% Trust me. You need to forget you ever saw me. If you see me on the road turn around and walk the other way.” I crossed my arms over my chest. “Let me be clear. I don’t know why you’d tell me to do that, and I don’t care. Whatever your beef is with my family has nothing at all to do with me. I’m a grown woman. I can make my own decisions
Oh Cole - I love that he's tried to warn her coz he knows her family will hit the roof! I wonder what Addison will say/do when she finds out? :/
16% We are hardly strangers. We’ve met three times, and yesterday I pretty much told you about my past. I’d say that makes us friends. It’s only a matter of time before you admit you like being around me.” “I told you I’m not interested.” “Yeah, we’ll see about that. I’m not good at many things, Addison, but I can be irresistible if I want to. You’ll find out soon enough.” “I’m hanging up now.” He was full of himself for sure. If he thought for one second I’d go for his come-ons he was dead wrong
I really like Cole already!! :D I can't wait to see more these two together :D
17% I need you to trust me.” His eyes were frantic, like he was desperate to get as far away as possible. I didn’t understand
Oh Cole! What's happened - who did you see??
19% I bet I have no clue who your family is.” “It’s going to stay that way too. You don’t need to know. I’d rather be someone else. Moving back here was a last resort. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have to. Trust me, I’ve already seen all I could handle being here
Oh poor Cole :/ I really like him already - I can't wait to see or of him and I need to know what happens when Addison finds out! I need to go to bed but I can't put this down! I'm loving it already - this series has definitely gotten better! <3 I'm nervous to pick them up still but I love them when I do :D
21% Don’t go helping him because you think it’s a favor to me. I don’t give a shit what happens to him. He’s taken advantage of my parents far too long.” This annoyed me. “Joe, I’m going to make my own decisions when it comes to Cole
I dont like Joe! -_-
22% I couldn’t stop laughing, which obviously made him happy. When it was all said and done he put everything back, and even carried the bags when we left
Awwww I'm loving these two already!! <3 <3
24% “I’m not you, so I can’t make the choice, but I don’t see what’s so wrong if you go on a date. You could decide you don’t like him.” “That’s highly unlikely. He’s everything I’m attracted to
Go Chris! She's right addy - you've got a lot in common and neither of you will have to worry about being judged :) he's a good guy who's made mistakes and had a bad past and I love that you know that :) I'm loving this book!!!!! <3
27% Obviously she’d pick everything I wasn’t. I kept a straight face so she wouldn’t feel like she was getting to me
Oh Cole :( haha I'm loving these two together :) their banter is amazing - I don't know how much longer addie will be able to deny her attraction to him haha I LOVE that Cole won't give up!
28% I wasn’t happy about not being able to flirt, but somehow I didn’t think it would matter. I’d show Addison a good time, and hopefully she’d want to do it again. If she didn’t I’d back off, because I wasn’t desperate. One way or another I was going to make this woman see what was happening right in front of her naïve face
Aww I really am loving Cole! But I'm scared coz I know at some point shits gonna hit the fan! :'(
30% He was bringing something out in me that I’d kept hidden. I wanted to feel alive again; the rush of being adventurous
I love that addy is finally going to let herself have fun! Yeah you're an addict addy but you're still allowed to have fun! <3
31% Why do you call me precious?” “Because you are. You’re like a porcelain doll. You’re beautiful to look at, but you’re fragile. I need to be careful with you. We wouldn’t want you to crack
Cole says the most perfect things!!! <3 also love that these two get each other like nobody else does!
32% “You mean, what if you fall in love with me? Well, that can’t happen, Addison. You’re too damn good for me.” I placed my hand on his cheek. “Don’t say that. You never know where life will take you.” “Maybe. I do know your family would never approve of me. Since I like this thing between us, I’m not going to ask you to show me around. Keep it between us, okay?” I didn’t understand, but I agreed
Oh Cole! You need to tell her! Sooner rather then later! If she finds out from someone else it's gonna be so so so so might worse! :'( :'(
37% Cole opened the passenger door back up and got out of the car. He didn’t lean in to ask me to reconsider. He didn’t look back to see if I was paying attention. He simply walked back into his house and shut the door
Oh poor Cole! :'(
39% It would have been easy to pop a few pills into my mouth and not give a damn, albeit I refrained. The high wasn’t worth the grief it would bring later. There was a price to pay if I made that kind of choice; a guilt I’d never be able to shake. So I ignored the cravings, succumbing to despair
I LOVE THAT!! I love that he's ready to stop and is determined not to go back! Not for anything! <3
43% She kept saying that, though I had no idea what she was referring to. It couldn’t be feelings. It was too soon for that to start. It’s why I wanted to experience it all before it got too intense. I had to bow out before I was able to break her heart. This was temporary. I knew it from the start
Oh Cole!!! You need to tell her! Sooner rather then later!!! :'(
44% I knew she might ask me things I didn’t want to answer. At this point I’d have to lie. I hated the idea of doing it, but it would protect her heart in the long run. What she didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her
COLE!!!!! Noooo telling her the truth now will protect her heart later! :( I really do like Cole and I know he has good intentions but he seriously needs to tell her the truth! :'( :/
45% I started getting up, leaving her to wonder about my actions. As I hurried over and wrapped my naked body in a towel I contemplated asking her to take me home, but I couldn’t. I was so drawn to her; so determined to be with her, yet couldn’t figure out how to get past the lies that were haunting me during every moment we shared
Oh Cole! You're not responsible for your families actions! :'( but the longer you go without telling her the truth the worse it's going to be :( I know you're scared but you need to do it :'(
48% And as if that wasn’t enough, he’d shown me that sex wasn’t his first priority. He was proving to me that two people could be together , intimately and never have sex. I didn’t think it was possible before, but as I laid there wrapped in his arms, naked, I knew I’d been wrong. This man was changing me. After one week he’d become someone I wanted to stick around. I just needed to figure out how to make it happen
Oh addy!!! <3 I hope Cole tells her soon n shit doesn't hit the fan too badly! :(
49% I’d ride out this train wreck, because weeks with Addison was better than nothing at all
Oh Cole! :'( I really wish you'd tell her but I have a feeling you're gonna leave it to someone else :'( I'm scared coz I know my hearts gonna hurt when shit hits the fan! :(
52% It was a douche move to ask her to drop it, but I couldn’t be responsible for my answers otherwise. This girl had me by my nuts. It wasn’t about the sex, or lack thereof. It was deeper; a connection that would bring me to my knees in pain if I didn’t figure something out quick. This woman would break me, more than the one before her
Oh Cole!! I really do love you n I know you're scared but you really need to tell her instead of avoiding it n hoping it will just go away! :'(
55% I could tell Cole was worried about me, but he didn’t need to. It took a lot for me to get pissed, but once I was there, nothing could keep me from speaking my mind. “It will prove that he’s wrong. It will show him why I don’t want to date him
Go addy! I really don't like Joe! -_-
58% Yep.” “I’m scared. It so exposing.” “Precious, I’ve seen every inch of you. Come on. I’m not asking you for anything inappropriate. This means a lot to me. I want to do it. Let me show you how I see you. Let me give you something to say thank you
Awww Cole!! <3
61% This couldn’t go further. I knew it was already happening; that feeling like nothing in life is better- the four letter word no one wants to admit. It was starting. I was falling hard, and I had to put a stop to it, before I couldn’t stop myself. This would never last. Fate was working against us before we ever met. I’d never be accepted by her family; or anyone else who cared about her. As painful as it was, I had to let go. The only question remaining was how to do it. Could I look into those beautiful green eyes and lie about our connection? Could I tell her it was only one-sided and I’d used her for sex? Could I abandon the one person who accepted me and make her think it was all some sick game? I didn’t know if I was capable
Oh Cole! Tell her the truth! It might take some time but she'd understand! But it'll be so much worse if she finds out another way! :'(
64% I have specific orders to tell Dad if I catch you spending the night.” “For Christ sakes. I’m an adult. Does no one else see that?” Chris laughed at me. “Do you really think I’d squeal on you? You’re my sister.” “What about Noah?” “What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” She held up her glass of tea to clank it against mine. “Cheers to that
Aww I love seeing more of addy and Chris! <3 I'm so scared of what's coming! :'(
65% I wished I could have told her the truth. She deserved to be held; to be told how she was perfect. She deserved to be loved. I wished I could be the one to do it. I knew we could be good if there wasn’t a past haunting us
Oh Cole! You need to tell her the truth before it comes out a different way! :'( I'm so scared - I know these two are gonna break my heart! :'(
67% Please, Cole. I need to know if I’m being ridiculous.” The truth was undeniable. My voice was raspy. “It’s real. It’s so fucking real I can’t stop it from happening. Trust me, I’ve tried, because I know I’m going to screw it up, and the last thing I want to do is hurt you
Oh these two are just sooo perfect!! <3 I just can't stop fearing what I know is coming! :'( I know they're gonna break my heart so I'm trying to prepare myself by not falling anymore in love with them but I just can't! They're so perfect for each other!! <3 <3
73% Chris, Uncle Conner found a gun in her possession. They’re probably armed. He’s a criminal. What have you done?” “Stop playing around. They’re just two people in love.” Cole kept looking at me, waving his hands around, wondering what was going on. “Chris, Dad told me about it. They’re worried for her safety.” My line went silent. “Please tell me you’re joking
Oh poor Chris - she was only trying to help :( I'm intrigued for Cassies book now - it's out so hopefully I'll get to it soon :D
76% My dad covered his face. “Does she know?” “Know what?” I watched the color disappear from Cole’s face. “Does my daughter know who you are? Does she know she’s been sleeping with a relative of the person who murdered her sibling? Does she know the kind of people you really are?
Oh shit! Here we go! My heart just started beating a million times faster! :'(
77% I’d brought him into our lives. I’d shared intimate moments with him. I made it five steps outside in the yard before hurling. I was ill over it, utterly disgusted with myself and my actions
Oh addy no!! You know the truth - I know you're shocked and hurt but deep down you know the truth about Cole!!! :'( :'( just when Cole was gonna tell her :( I HATE JOE!!! -_-
79% “I never lied about my feelings. Everything you felt, I felt it too. You can deny it now, but I know it’s real. I can’t change where I came from. I knew that from the start. It’s why I didn’t want to tell you. The longer we were together, the more I wanted to be someone else. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I can’t be the man you need me to be. I’m sorry I fucked everything up. I’m sorry I’ll never be the guy you can bring home to daddy.” I had to walk away. People were starting to look at us and I didn’t want to jeopardize what she had going at the hospital. I knew how important it was to her
Oh Cole!!! :'( my heart!
80% She looked down at it again. “If it isn’t love, why does it hurt so much?” This time she let me pull her into my arms. I held her there, so tight I’d thought she’d complain. Her sniffles let me know she wasn’t ready to talk, so I remained silent, appreciating how she wasn’t shoving me away. “Only real love hurts like this. Trust me. I’ve been kicked around quite a bit
Oh these two!! They're so perfect together - they're breaking my heart! :'( :'(
81% “We could make it work.” She shook her head. “You know we can’t. The world says we can’t be together. It’s like those two families we learned about in history class. The Hatfield’s and the McCoy’s. Our families will never find common ground.” “I love you, Addison Mitchell. I want you to know it when I’m not around to remind you.” “I love you too, Cole Chase. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t have cared where you came from.” She paused for a second and started to get choked up. “I hope you have a good life. I’ll think of you often, and maybe one day I can stop missing you so much.” Then she lifted her hand and wiped her eyes. “I’m sorry. I need to go.” Just like that she was gone, and this time I knew it was for good
Oh my god! :'( :'( I feel like I'm gonna cry! :'(
82% For the hike back to the house he kept reminding me how much it was going to be okay. “Don’t you worry, darlin’. Daddy’s got you.” I nestled my body into his, because of all the places in the world this was the most safest
Oh Colt! He's a good dad and just wants to protect his kids - I hope he can realise that Coles a good man and nothing like his family! I'm saying this coz Cole and addy have to end up together - THEYVE GOT TOO!!!!
86% I grabbed her chin and made her look at me. My lips brushed over hers as I spoke. Immediately her eyes started to close. “I’m just a guy who loves a girl. I know she loves me back, even when she’s fighting
Oh Cole!!! <3 <3 <3 listen to him addy! You and Coke are perfect for each other and you know it! You're family will come around - they love you too much not too and soon they'll realise that Coles a good guy and he loves you with everything he has! <3 <3
87% I kissed her again, this time feeling emotional. “We’ll figure it out. We can’t let other people make the choice for us. You feel so right, precious
So fucking perfect!! <3
90% “It's not the same,” my father interrupted. “Yes it is!” I slammed my hands down on the table. “It’s exactly the same. You weren’t supposed to love Mom, but you couldn’t help yourself. How dare you come down on me for expressing my feelings. I know what love is, and what I have with Cole is real. You can’t change it. You can’t control it. For once this is out of your hands. My decision is made. I’m going to be with him
Addy!!!!, <3 she's right Colt and you know it! I know you just want to protect your daughter but you brought her up to follow her heart and that's what she's doing - you need to let her go and trust her decisions not push her away! :/
91% My father was a hard headed man. He got it naturally, according to my Gram, but I never expected he’d hurt me the way he had
-_- Colt! I know this is probably bringing up a lot of thing/feelings you want to forget but this isn't the way to react! :'(
92% Do you mind if I hold him?” Noah’s jaw clenched. He looked from me and then back to Cole, finally handed the boy over. “My sisters tell me you’re harmless. If Chris likes you, then I’ve got no beef with you either.” Cole shook my brother’s hand. “Thanks, man. I’m really not the enemy.” “It’s tough, I reckon, having to live with that name
Noah! <3 <3 :D
94% I’ve never had that, Addison. Not ever.”
Oh Cole! :'(
97% Cole held out his hand to shake, but she wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly for a second. I watched my strong boyfriend break down. He leaned his head on her shoulder and lost it
Oh Cole!! :'( I love him so much - he's breaking my heart! :'(
99% And you think I would have stopped you? Have I not been a good father to you? Have I not given you everything you ever wanted?” I watched my father break down right in front of me. In all my life I couldn’t remember him crying, but there he was, covering his face and shaking. I walked over to him and placed my hands on his strong arms. “You’re the best father. I’m grateful for having you. I’m just angry for what you did. You hurt me.” “I’d do anything for you, darlin’. I’d give you whatever you needed.” “All except for Cole. You wouldn’t let me stay with him
Oh Colt! :'( he infuriates me sometimes but I love him! Though I love that addy won't relent - she's sticking up for the man she loves n is making sure her dad knows he was out of order! <3 <3
100% Amazing! I loved it! It was amazing company on the train home :D I led Cole n addy - they totally captured my heart!!! <3 <3 5 stars! The last few books of the Mitchell family series and this series has always had me nervous to start but although it's had its off books (for me) I've totally loved the last few :D n Im hoping to get to Cassie soon :) <3

55% I could tell Cole was worried about me, but he didn’t need to. It took a lot for me to get pissed, but once I was there, nothing could keep me from speaking my mind. “It will prove that he’s wrong. It will show him why I don’t want to date him
Go addy! I really don't like Joe! -_-
58% Yep.” “I’m scared. It so exposing.” “Precious, I’ve seen every inch of you. Come on. I’m not asking you for anything inappropriate. This means a lot to me. I want to do it. Let me show you how I see you. Let me give you something to say thank you
Awww Cole!! <3
61% This couldn’t go further. I knew it was already happening; that feeling like nothing in life is better- the four letter word no one wants to admit. It was starting. I was falling hard, and I had to put a stop to it, before I couldn’t stop myself. This would never last. Fate was working against us before we ever met. I’d never be accepted by her family; or anyone else who cared about her. As painful as it was, I had to let go. The only question remaining was how to do it. Could I look into those beautiful green eyes and lie about our connection? Could I tell her it was only one-sided and I’d used her for sex? Could I abandon the one person who accepted me and make her think it was all some sick game? I didn’t know if I was capable
Oh Cole! Tell her the truth! It might take some time but she'd understand! But it'll be so much worse if she finds out another way! :'(
64% I have specific orders to tell Dad if I catch you spending the night.” “For Christ sakes. I’m an adult. Does no one else see that?” Chris laughed at me. “Do you really think I’d squeal on you? You’re my sister.” “What about Noah?” “What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” She held up her glass of tea to clank it against mine. “Cheers to that
Aww I love seeing more of addy and Chris! <3 I'm so scared of what's coming! :'(
65% I wished I could have told her the truth. She deserved to be held; to be told how she was perfect. She deserved to be loved. I wished I could be the one to do it. I knew we could be good if there wasn’t a past haunting us
Oh Cole! You need to tell her the truth before it comes out a different way! :'( I'm so scared - I know these two are gonna break my heart! :'(
67% Please, Cole. I need to know if I’m being ridiculous.” The truth was undeniable. My voice was raspy. “It’s real. It’s so fucking real I can’t stop it from happening. Trust me, I’ve tried, because I know I’m going to screw it up, and the last thing I want to do is hurt you
Oh these two are just sooo perfect!! <3 I just can't stop fearing what I know is coming! :'( I know they're gonna break my heart so I'm trying to prepare myself by not falling anymore in love with them but I just can't! They're so perfect for each other!! <3 <3
73% Chris, Uncle Conner found a gun in her possession. They’re probably armed. He’s a criminal. What have you done?” “Stop playing around. They’re just two people in love.” Cole kept looking at me, waving his hands around, wondering what was going on. “Chris, Dad told me about it. They’re worried for her safety.” My line went silent. “Please tell me you’re joking
Oh poor Chris - she was only trying to help :( I'm intrigued for Cassies book now - it's out so hopefully I'll get to it soon :D
76% My dad covered his face. “Does she know?” “Know what?” I watched the color disappear from Cole’s face. “Does my daughter know who you are? Does she know she’s been sleeping with a relative of the person who murdered her sibling? Does she know the kind of people you really are?
Oh shit! Here we go! My heart just started beating a million times faster! :'(
77% I’d brought him into our lives. I’d shared intimate moments with him. I made it five steps outside in the yard before hurling. I was ill over it, utterly disgusted with myself and my actions
Oh addy no!! You know the truth - I know you're shocked and hurt but deep down you know the truth about Cole!!! :'( :'( just when Cole was gonna tell her :( I HATE JOE!!! -_-
79% “I never lied about my feelings. Everything you felt, I felt it too. You can deny it now, but I know it’s real. I can’t change where I came from. I knew that from the start. It’s why I didn’t want to tell you. The longer we were together, the more I wanted to be someone else. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I can’t be the man you need me to be. I’m sorry I fucked everything up. I’m sorry I’ll never be the guy you can bring home to daddy.” I had to walk away. People were starting to look at us and I didn’t want to jeopardize what she had going at the hospital. I knew how important it was to her
Oh Cole!!! :'( my heart!
80% She looked down at it again. “If it isn’t love, why does it hurt so much?” This time she let me pull her into my arms. I held her there, so tight I’d thought she’d complain. Her sniffles let me know she wasn’t ready to talk, so I remained silent, appreciating how she wasn’t shoving me away. “Only real love hurts like this. Trust me. I’ve been kicked around quite a bit
Oh these two!! They're so perfect together - they're breaking my heart! :'( :'(
81% “We could make it work.” She shook her head. “You know we can’t. The world says we can’t be together. It’s like those two families we learned about in history class. The Hatfield’s and the McCoy’s. Our families will never find common ground.” “I love you, Addison Mitchell. I want you to know it when I’m not around to remind you.” “I love you too, Cole Chase. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t have cared where you came from.” She paused for a second and started to get choked up. “I hope you have a good life. I’ll think of you often, and maybe one day I can stop missing you so much.” Then she lifted her hand and wiped her eyes. “I’m sorry. I need to go.” Just like that she was gone, and this time I knew it was for good
Oh my god! :'( :'( I feel like I'm gonna cry! :'(
82% For the hike back to the house he kept reminding me how much it was going to be okay. “Don’t you worry, darlin’. Daddy’s got you.” I nestled my body into his, because of all the places in the world this was the most safest
Oh Colt! He's a good dad and just wants to protect his kids - I hope he can realise that Coles a good man and nothing like his family! I'm saying this coz Cole and addy have to end up together - THEYVE GOT TOO!!!!
86% I grabbed her chin and made her look at me. My lips brushed over hers as I spoke. Immediately her eyes started to close. “I’m just a guy who loves a girl. I know she loves me back, even when she’s fighting
Oh Cole!!! <3 <3 <3 listen to him addy! You and Coke are perfect for each other and you know it! You're family will come around - they love you too much not too and soon they'll realise that Coles a good guy and he loves you with everything he has! <3 <3
87% I kissed her again, this time feeling emotional. “We’ll figure it out. We can’t let other people make the choice for us. You feel so right, precious
So fucking perfect!! <3
90% “It's not the same,” my father interrupted. “Yes it is!” I slammed my hands down on the table. “It’s exactly the same. You weren’t supposed to love Mom, but you couldn’t help yourself. How dare you come down on me for expressing my feelings. I know what love is, and what I have with Cole is real. You can’t change it. You can’t control it. For once this is out of your hands. My decision is made. I’m going to be with him
Addy!!!!, <3 she's right Colt and you know it! I know you just want to protect your daughter but you brought her up to follow her heart and that's what she's doing - you need to let her go and trust her decisions not push her away! :/
91% My father was a hard headed man. He got it naturally, according to my Gram, but I never expected he’d hurt me the way he had
-_- Colt! I know this is probably bringing up a lot of thing/feelings you want to forget but this isn't the way to react! :'(
92% Do you mind if I hold him?” Noah’s jaw clenched. He looked from me and then back to Cole, finally handed the boy over. “My sisters tell me you’re harmless. If Chris likes you, then I’ve got no beef with you either.” Cole shook my brother’s hand. “Thanks, man. I’m really not the enemy.” “It’s tough, I reckon, having to live with that name
Noah! <3 <3 :D
94% I’ve never had that, Addison. Not ever.”
Oh Cole! :'(
97% Cole held out his hand to shake, but she wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly for a second. I watched my strong boyfriend break down. He leaned his head on her shoulder and lost it
Oh Cole!! :'( I love him so much - he's breaking my heart! :'(
99% And you think I would have stopped you? Have I not been a good father to you? Have I not given you everything you ever wanted?” I watched my father break down right in front of me. In all my life I couldn’t remember him crying, but there he was, covering his face and shaking. I walked over to him and placed my hands on his strong arms. “You’re the best father. I’m grateful for having you. I’m just angry for what you did. You hurt me.” “I’d do anything for you, darlin’. I’d give you whatever you needed.” “All except for Cole. You wouldn’t let me stay with him
Oh Colt! :'( he infuriates me sometimes but I love him! Though I love that addy won't relent - she's sticking up for the man she loves n is making sure her dad knows he was out of order! <3 <3
100% Amazing! I loved it! It was amazing company on the train home :D I led Cole n addy - they totally captured my heart!!! <3 <3 5 stars! The last few books of the Mitchell family series and this series has always had me nervous to start but although it's had its off books (for me) I've totally loved the last few :D n Im hoping to get to Cassie soon :) <3

Addison (The Mitchell/Healy Family #6)
Addison story I enjoyed, I think she is one of my favorite characters in this series.
I loved Cole and Addison together. They both had pasts and regrets. But the two together are great. Now if the family can understand that.
Highly recommend.

Another good one from Jennifer Foor! I swear these books keep getting better and better.
Addison was a strong and likable heroine. It takes a lot of strength to turn your life around the way she has. She was a drug addict and has been clean for years now. She wants to be a drug counselor and help others who are going through what she went through.
Cole was Sweet and Sexy with a capital "S!" He loved Addison so much. I wanted to give him a million hugs. My heart was breaking for him. He was such a good guy but he didn't have a good life at all. He was not close to his family but he was still being judged because of who his uncle was. He had so much love to give and definitely needed a lot of TLC.
I loved Cole and Addison together. They were perfect for each other. They fell hard and there was no going back. There were so many obstacles they had to face but they knew they wanted and needed to be together.
I was happy to see some of the characters from the original series. I love Colt, though he did manage to make me angry a few times, but he always comes through in the end and shows what an amazing father and husband he is.
5 stars!

I felt like Addy was a bit too much of a preacher in this one. I get that she wanted to help others that were where she was, but she was judgey in her actions. But then again it seems like the Mitchell's love to get their judge on. Colt sure did when confronted with Cole. First when he met him, then later when he learned Cole's secret. I liked that Addy stood up for Cole, loved how at the end Cole met a family member that is finally a good one. It seems like finally his life is changing for the better.

Another amazing book by J4!! I loved everything about this book...Looking forward to the next!!!

I couldn’t wait to get to Addy’s story because of her past. She was a bad girl at times growing up & ended up getting into drugs. Her parents had put her in a rehab & now she’s been clean for 2 years. She wanted to help others, so she counseled others who have come in to the hospital because of drugs. She’s also a sponsor for those who need it. One day, she met this man who came to a meeting. He was there but then he was gone. She was puzzled but shrugged it off until she saw him come into the hospital. Immediately they were drawn to each other but they were both addicts & she never mixed business with pleasure. However, the pull was too strong & she decided to go out to dinner with him one night. Cole Chase was a tattooed hottie who grew up without a family life. His mother abandoned him & his foster family never really loved him. He just didn’t know where he fit until he met Addison. He tried to stay away but it was really hard. Then when he found out who she was, he was torn as to what to do because of who he was to them. He wanted to tell her but yet he didn’t. When crap hit the fan, it got bad. My heart hurt for both of them. They helped each other so much & they were both finally happy. This book made me smile because I wanted so much for Addy. It was nice to see her happy again.

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.

Great read! Addison makes you see that everyone has a past but it's all about living in the present. Sometimes it's okay to forget.

"Everyone in this room is here for a reason. You’re not alone, not anymore. I promise you that it gets easier. It’s a long road to recover, but you can do it. No matter how far gone you think you are, there is always a road to redemption. You have to want it more than anything you’ve ever wanted in your life. You have to be done denying what you are. You have to accept what you’ll never be able to change. It’s about forgiveness. I look out at each one of you tonight and recognize so many. I feel humbled to know we’ve taken this path together. We’re a team, a force to be reckoned with."
There's a rule amongst addicts, don't start a relationship with another addict, also don't start a relationship with your counsellor or sponsor. You can't help who you are attracted to regardless of who they are, where they come from, what they do or who they're related to. Jenn Foor opens our eyes to the insecurities that an addict faces, when two ex addicts fall in love one bearing secrets that could tear them apart. These two deserve happiness after everything they have endured but will their relationship work and be accepted?
Addison is a former addict. Thanks to the care, love and support of the Mitchell/Healy clan she is on the road to recovery and a new path in life. Determined to stay on track and help others, she is now an addiction counsellor in training. Doing what does, she gets fulfilment out of, helping others overcome their addictions. Now with a new lease on life and a future ahead of her Addison longs for the one thing her brother and sister have, love.
Addy was taken aback when she laid eyes on a sexy, sinful and tattooed man new to her meetings. Cole was there one minute gone the next. Leaving Addy feeling a way she never had before. On her rounds at the local hospital meeting with those who had recently been admitted she was shocked to see the face that left her curious. Cole Chase.
Cole didn't have the best upbring with an addict mother, he was soon in the system and being sent to a foster family. Never feeling like he fit in or was good enough he fell in with the wrong crowds. After finishing high school he joined the Army and took off from Kentucky. Now he's back in town and in hospital wanting to get clean after having lost everything. Being discharged from the Army he was headed on a downward spiral.
Being back in the one place he never wanted to be again, back where he is haunted by his demons, he had no choice he wanted to get clean and stay clean.
He turns to the only stability he had, his foster family. Never feeling like he fit in or that he was accepted Joe lets Cole know just how much he can't stand him. Up against Joe, a Police Officer. He never felt like he would amount to anything.
Addy being headstrong could see Cole needed help, after having words with Joe it was made clear he had no one in his corner no one willing to help him. He wasn't a lost cause, she cared and she was the person to be there to do it. Cole is a challenge, one who is giving her a run for her money, it only made the situation clearer that she would be the one to be there for him. Cole had his own challenge, Addison...
"It’s too bad you have so many rules, precious. I’m pretty sure I could leave you breathless.”
With Cole turning on the charm Addy needed to stay focused, yes he's good looking and charming but she was determined not to let him under her skin. The more they are around each other, the more the sexual tension rises. When Addy finally gives into temptation it feels so natural. For Cole being with Addy was a natural high.
"I’m not afraid of you, Cole. I’m more afraid of not being able to stop myself.”
Taking things slow and keeping this new development a secret, Addy knowing it could be seen as unprofessional and her family wouldn't approve and Cole. Cole has some secrets that could prevent them from ever being together. When Addy finds out Cole's secret, the Mitchell family will do whatever they have to to keep him away from Addy.
They say you can't help who you fall in love with and Addy has fallen for someone with the same surname, who brought so much devastation to their family. Will the love they share for one another be enough or will the family keep them apart? Could this all be too much and lead them back on path of destruction.

Addison (Mitchell-Healy #6)
By: Jennifer Foor
5/5 stars
Addison is the youngest daughter of Colt & Savannah Mitchell and has always been the outgoing, somewhat reckless, wild child. She was always hanging out with the wrong crowd, partying too much & too hard. This unfortunately led her down a dark path to drugs and no one in her family could reach her until she hit bottom & wanted their help, which is what we saw during one of the last few books. (Possibly during book 3, Christian…I don’t quite remember.) But Addison has been to rehab, is clean & sober and is working on becoming a drug & alcohol addiction counselor. Not only is she taking courses, but she leads NA meetings and visits people in the hospital who are there to their drug addiction.
Cole Chase shows up at one of the meetings and then disappears until Addison’s next visit to the hospital & sees that Cole is a patient. The last thing Cole wanted to do was move back to Kentucky where his last name is synonymous with white trash loser. He may have spent his last years in a good foster family, but he never felt a part of their family. Plus, everyone seemed to judge him for what his uncle, Tucker Chase, did to Addison’s mom, Savannah. The best thing he ever did was join the military & leave Kentucky. His cop foster brother doesn’t understand the life of an addict and the best ways to help them. He may help, but it always condescending.
Addicts aren’t supposed to start a relationship with another addict, because if one of them falls off the wagon & begins using again, the partner is more likely to begin using again as well. But Chase knows the real reason that he shouldn’t get involved with Addison. She hasn’t made the correlation between his last name and the significance that it carries for her family. Even during their friendship, he doesn’t enlighten Addison to this, because he wants and needs someone who just cares about him and doesn’t judge him based on his last name.
But Jenn Foor brings the angst, because of course Addison & Cole’s relationship will deepen and they will fall in love with each other and of course, secrets will be exposed. And fans of this & the original series know that Colt Mitchell isn’t an easily forgiving man and will go to any & all lengths necessary to protect his family.
We get a glimpse into the next book which is Cassie’s. The Mitchell kids’ books are all finished and so now, it’s on to the Healy kids’ books. If memory serves…I believe Conner & Amy had 4 kids. Although I wouldn’t mind a holidays novel with all of these characters reuniting!

She has a new addiction...
Jennifer Foor never disappoints and the awesome Mitchell tradition continues. Addison's story picks up 2 years after getting sober. You will laugh, cry, and wish you were at Cole's mercy!! And now a bit about the story...
Addison has started her life over. She is working on becoming a drug counselor. She has been in all the positions before, so she can connect with others in trouble. Her next patient may threaten everything she has worked for. Cole has partied all his money away and has no choice but to call his foster brother, the state trooper. Cole is promptly dropped off at a meeting and when that is over is taken to rehab. Lucky for him this puts him right in Addison's sights. But can two addicts survive or will they just bring each other down?

- There was no way I’d get involved with someone like him. I couldn’t let myself, even if he was uber sexy, with a good sense of humor. I wouldn’t let his handsome smile, and strong muscles deter me from reaching my goal. He wasn’t going to get under my skin, and that was final.
- “I’m not good at many things, Addison, but I can be irresistible if I want to.”
- “It doesn’t matter where you came from, it’s where you’re headed.”
- I’m your sponsor. It’s my job to be nice to you.
- “I’m just a guy who loves a girl. I know she loves me back, even when she’s fighting.”
- I still thought back to that night in the car when I almost ruined everything I’d been working for.
Jennifer Foor never disappoints and the awesome Mitchell tradition continues. Addison's story picks up 2 years after getting sober. You will laugh, cry, and wish you were at Cole's mercy!! And now a bit about the story...
Addison has started her life over. She is working on becoming a drug counselor. She has been in all the positions before, so she can connect with others in trouble. Her next patient may threaten everything she has worked for. Cole has partied all his money away and has no choice but to call his foster brother, the state trooper. Cole is promptly dropped off at a meeting and when that is over is taken to rehab. Lucky for him this puts him right in Addison's sights. But can two addicts survive or will they just bring each other down?

Addison
I loved the Mitchell Family books. I was sad when I read the last one because I knew I would miss the characters. If a series is good I always want it it continue so I was thrilled when this one did by having the children of the Mitchell Family have their stories told. I have to say that it's been a different experience reading their stories for a couple of different reasons. First, it's just plain weird to read about the "kids" as adults doing adult things. Secondly, I think that unlike the original series where we had several books to get to know the core characters, here they're just suddenly grown-up and we didn't really get to be a part of their journey to adulthood. As a result, I find that while I like these books, I'm not enjoying them as much as much as the Mitchell Family books. I will say that I enjoyed Addison more than the others, however, until I reached just about the halfway point I wasn't feeling it. Until then I felt like it was kind of unbelievable. Everything was happening too fast with Addison and Cole and I couldn't see a reason for them to like each other as much as they did. I found all the flirting to be tiresome and his keeping his big secret frustrating. I really wanted to just be done with this book but then the secret is revealed and the story got interesting. From that point on I was hooked and a what I was going to give three stars became a four star book and worth the read.

This has to be one of my favorites when it comes to the kids in the Mitchell/Healy series. Don't know what I'm going to do when this series ends.
Addey is finally getting her life on track. She is attending meetings, donating her time for those who struggle with drug addiction and taking online classes to become a drug counselor. She craves to find what her brother and sister have, someone to love her for her and not judge her for her past but she's not sure if she is ready. Until he shows up at one of her meetings.
Cole isn't happy to be back in the town he grew up in. But when you have nothing left what options do you have. He has a few rules he has to follow if his brother is going to let him come back. Get clean, get a job and stay out of trouble. Then he runs into her the last person he should have anything to do with.
You can never go wrong when you read one of Jennifer's books. This one is filled with so many emotions. I love to banter between Addey and Cole!

This is yet another wonderfully written book in the Mitchell-Healy collection. Addison is the baby of the Mitchell family. Cole comes from the family that caused the older members of this family a lot of pain and heartbreak. Addison is a recovering drug addict who is trying to become a counselor to help other addicts. She meets Chase at a addicts meeting briefly then later meets him again at the hospital where she volunteers. He is hot but she knows 2 addicts shouldn't be involved but she finds herself very attracted to him. Will it last once she finds out that he comes from the Chase family? His uncle caused her mom to lose a baby and he hurt her Aunt. Only time will tell if their love can be strong enough to get past all of the past issues of their families. Very good book and Jennifer Food keep the series coming.... love the Mitchell-Healy family.

5+ stars. Jennifer Foor's is an incredibly talented writer. She really knows how to pull at ones heart. I've read many books regarding an addicts life but Addison's story by far is the best I've ever read that best describes how they feel. If you personally know an addict like I do (no I'm not one myself) then as you read this book you'll note their fears, anxiety and self loathing. If you do know any and wondered what goes through their mind, then read this and it gives you great insight in fine detail of the pain and suffering they go through with their illness, how weak they really are. I didn't think I'd love a book more than Noah's but Addison's went beyond Noah's story, the truth of her struggle and emotions were very raw and real. Her family supporting her was beautiful in itself. The love story was just as beautiful, once again giving readers insight as to facts of NA and AA, clever well delivery Jennifer.

I just love Jennifer Foor's writing. I've been hooked on this whole series since Colt's book and not one of them has disappointed since.
Addison just wants to be labelled anything other than the bad sheep in the family and a recovering addict and she finds that in Cole.
Cole. Cole. Cole. Sexy, misunderstood, Cole. He overcame his upbringing and despite his family name he proved that he was worth more than that. A story about the battle of addiction and that love conquers all I thoroughly enjoyed it and devoured it in a night.
Aww moment!

I'd love to know how jenn foor does it so many amazing book and storylines and there all still so fresh.
Addison is a troubled girl overcoming a drug addiction and she meets ex army Cole at the meeting she is going to. Bam instant connection. But he has a secret one that could upset alot of Mitchell's.
Cole is simultaneously pushing Addison away while trying to hold on. Cole has never had a family and has no clue what to do.
I really fell in love with Cole in this book he has such a sad history and has so many prejudices against him.
I absolutely loved this. It's one of the best Mitchell kids ever.
Really wanted to cry in th Bella scene.

Awesome
I found myself getting frustrated at the characters in this book. I love strong alpha males but they can get on my nerves at the same time.
As with the other books I have read in this series I was pulled in from the beginning. Learning more about the kids that were all introduced in the Mitchell series has been really great, even if some of them you want to shake. I think this is the first book that I haven't cried at, I did come close a time or two.
Once again Jennifer Foor has written a truly remarkable book, I highly recommend this series and all the other books she has done.

Addison is a bad girl come good, she is fighting her demons everyday to give back to her family the love they deserve.
When a mysterious guy turns up at her group she feels an instant connection but he is gone as quick as he turned up.
Fate brings them back together.
Rules are broken and chemistry is ignited but there are secrets that can turn a tight knit family apart.
Ever since Jenn said she was writing about the children of the Mitchell and Healy Addion has been one that I was most excited to read about. Jenn didnt disappoint.

Another great one
Addison story was another great one. I've been enjoying these series of books since the beginning with Colt and Savanah. Jennifer Foor really knows how to write incredible stories that show a families love. This story involving addiction recovery was intense at times, but Jennifer gives us a story and a love that is believable and heartwarming. Can't wait for the next book coming this fall.

Still Going Strong
Addison was always a bit of a black sheep in her family and her issues caused her family to be cautious with her. When she meets one Chase a Tucker she doesn't realise the connection his family has with hers until it's too late.
Colt and Van have always been my favourites and reading about their babies heartache had me in tears. Colt was his usual hardass self but we all know he's really a softie.
I love me the Mitchell's

I was really looking forward to Addison's story and I certainly enjoyed it and not surprisingly I cried in yet another book.
If I had any grumbles, it would just be that I would have liked the book to have started with Addison's struggles and how she worked through them and then maybe jumped forward in time. Addison was the one sibling I felt had a real dark edge to her and I just though that wasn't tapped into.
That being said, it was yet another fab read from Jennifer Foor.
3.5 stars

Yet another brilliant book from Jennifer Foor. For me a sign of good author is how they can do a spin off from another series and keep it fresh and Jennifer does this perfectly and also doesn't shy away from any subject matter. This book was a great read that I became so engrossed in I didn't realize where time went.

Another awesome book by Jennifer Foor! I love all her books and Cassie was a wonderful book added to the series. Cole and Addison are so sweet and together they find the love and family that they have been searching for, and I loved reading about them and loved catching up with our favorite Mitchell cowboys, love love this series, a must read.

The forbidden fruit!
Addison the wild child and Cole, the forbidden fruit! Not only is he an ex-addict like her but he's related to the ultimate villain in the Mitchell family story!! That doesn't stop matters of the heart though. Can cole convince them all that he's nothing like his family? Will Colt get over himself and grow up and act his age?

I loved this book as much as all the others, I love the journey that Addison goes on, getting clean from her addiction and falling in love.
Nothing is easy as she finds out.
I couldn't put this book down, it was a great read.
Well done Jenn x
