Jennifer Foor

Holy dirty talking cowboy alert! Take everything you thought you knew about the Mitchell family you've come to adore and throw it right out of the window! This was a grown up view of them that I never could have imagined. I admit I was a bit apprehensive as to how this would all play out; getting to know characters we've seen since birth now all grown up. I have to say though; it was handled fantastically! Some I grew to dislike, some I saw in a new light, and some I fell in love with even show more more. To the core they were the same people, but with age comes change; it's only natural.

Noah was the perfect blend of his father and two uncles. He has all the alpha and caring nature of Colt, the sexiness and mischievousness of Ty, and the raw sex appeal and huge heart of Conner. Combine all these qualities into one perfectly sculpted country boy body, and you have the perfect storm, aka Noah Mitchell. This story held all the things I've grown to love and expect from Jenn Foor's Mitchell series, but it also had a level of maturity that was unexpected. While the family was still prevalent, I appreciated that Noah had the opportunity to stand on his own and not be overshadowed. I felt like we really got to know his character and gain a deeper insight into his mind.

Shalan is a completely new character to the fold. While Noah is out discovering his own road, their path's cross in a pretty hilarious way. Shalan was such a beautiful character to read, and I really felt like I connected with her hopelessness. Though she had given up on some aspects of her life getting any better I still felt like she had a fight in her that couldn't be extinguished. These two on the page together literally burned them up. The sexual tension, the banter, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute! As two very separate individuals, they were going through things that young adults typically do, but without a real safety net. They were figuring out who they were as people, and somewhere along the way, they began to figure it out together. There was no insta-love here; their relationship took time, and even up until the end, I wasn't certain what their outcome would be.

Jenn excels at creating characters that you become invested in. You laugh with them, you cry with them, you bleed with them, and you fall in love with them. Their pain is your pain and you wouldn't have it any other way. Next up is Bella's story and I can't wait to see where Jenn takes us next! show less

“I can’t sit around here while you two are planning this fantastic life together. I’m drowning in your fucking happiness.”

So I’ve literally been sitting here for three hours chasing shiny squirrels (bonus points if you get that) while I figure out what to write. I finished reading this book two days ago, but have been letting all the feelings and thought marinate. See, I’ve been a Jenn Foor fan for almost two years now. My love show more affair began with the Mitchell family, though I’ll admit I think I’m 2-3 books behind (stop releasing so fast J4!!). It’s one of those series that pulls you into the pages, and I’m happy to say I’m an honorary Mitchell, even if they don’t know it. I’ll share a bed with Colt and Savanna anytime ;-) Then I moved on to the Sin series. While I’ve only read the first one, it’s just as phenomenal as the Mitchell’s. I’m not kidding; Jenn has a knack for thrusting you into her character’s lives, and you begin to wonder how life existed before they were there. And speaking of thrusting, holy hell! Some of the hottest scenes I’ve ever read in a book. And I read A LOT of naughty books. But I digress….. We are here to talk about Love’s Suicide.

So all of this was a preface to get you to see how much I anticipated this book. From the moment I saw the cover, I knew it was game on! I am a HUGE cover snob, and this one drew me in instantly, so different from all her others. The crispness,the colors, the somber look of the cover model, the font; it just all tied together beautifully. And then I read the synopsis… It was official. I knew I was done for. Now all I had to do was wait for the book. I scoped out teasers, grasping for any morsel of this upcoming story. And then it appeared on my Kindle. And I rejoiced.

In that very moment I knew I loved him so much more than I should have.

This story was so different from others that I had previously read, from ANY author. What you are going to find in my review is that I won’t be giving a lot of plot points. But a good review and a good book don’t need that. It needs only to know how it made you feel. And this book causes no shortage of feelings and emotions. So let’s start briefly from the beginning. Our players: Katy, Brooks, and Branch. Katy’s parents and B&B’s (twins) parent’s were best friends. They all live next door to each other in DC, so needless to say, they’ve been friends since birth. Though feelings are always stronger for Brooks, Katy ends up with Branch. And that is the extent of detail you’re getting from me ;-)

One kiss was never going to be enough and I was done trying to fight my feelings for him.

I know many dislike it, but I am a self-professed angst whore! I am the weirdo that LOVES cliffhangers, darkness, and despair. This book fed that hunger in me that had been thirsty for far too long. From the first page until the last, I was thoroughly saturated and sated. The push and pull, the back and forth, the will they won’t they, I loved EVERY SINGLE SECOND! There are so many twists and turns in this book you won’t know which end is up. I promise though; that only makes the ride more delicious.

Finding a place to lay my head and a job to make money was only half of my battle. Coming to terms with my actions was another kind of war.

Katy was such a complex character. I wanted to tackle hug her, shake her silly, then repeat until I knocked some sense into her. Though partly her fault, the hits just kept coming. Now, when I say partly her fault, I am only speaking of certain things, not one BIG thing in particular. I know for many of you this will seem cryptic, but those of you that had read the book already will know what I am speaking of and I didn’t want my statement to be misconstrued. Because there is NEVER any excuse for that and the fact that she tried to make some makes my heart hurt. But what was SO refreshing about this book was that she recognized it. She still made some choices that I though involved blinders, but she was much more headstrong than typically portrayed. Above all, she had an ability to love that knew no bounds. Beaten down and broken, she kept getting back up. Even when all hope was lost, she somehow found a way to keep going. She possessed strength, at times, that was invigorating to watch.

“I can’t stop loving you, Kat.”

Those words, those heart pounding five words, echoed in my mind.

I’m not really going to speak about Branch, because he’s still on my hit list, but let’s move this along to Brooks. Swoony, heart pounding, panty drenching Brooks. More so than Katy, my heart just ached for him! I don’t think a male character has EVER induced the feelings that he did for me. Always second choice, always never good enough, always trying to do the right thing; though none of this was true, for him, it was his reality. I fell in love with his caring nature, and how he loved those around him unabashedly. His love and ability to forgive knew no bounds. Even when he felt as if there was no hope left, he kept coming back for more; over and over again. His nature made me fall, but his persistence kept me coming back for more. The lengths that this man was willing to go to in order to win her heart just… wow.

“I meant ever word that I wrote in those letters, Brooks. I could never completely give my heart away, not when it was with you the whole time.”

Since it released, I’ve been screaming from the rooftops how good this book is. I feel like this is a game changer for Jenn. As much as I love her other books, Love’s Suicide is just on a whole other level. This will be a story I definitely come back to and read again. It is a standalone and has one hell of an epilogue. Take a chance on this book. You won’t be able to put it down! I love this book so much that I am easily giving it my rarely gifted 'so nice I rated it twice' 10 star review ratings!

ARC received in exchange for an honest review.

I stared at him, wondering if I should slap him or tell him that every time he spoke I felt like I was on fire.

I have been a HUGE fan of Jenn Foor for a while now! I LOVE anything Mitchell Family related, and devour every single book as soon as they are released. I am invested in each and every character in the series, and long to see where she will take them next. That being said…….this book fell a little flat for me. I wasn’t able to show more connect with the characters as I usually am with her books. I will try to explain further.

“I’ll fu** you so good that the only car you’ll ever drive will be a Ford, because you’ll never stop thinkin’ about me.”

We start the story with Skylar. Having just found out that her long time boyfriend is a dirty rotten cheating scoundrel, she takes off for a fun weekend at the beach with friends. As luck would have it, her car breaks down and along comes the sexy tow truck driver. Enter Ford. No, not just the truck, the man. The Southern, sweaty, sexy as sin Ford. Sparks fly from the get go between these two, but they are determined that it will just be a fun time and nothing more.

I guess I was just regretting giving myself completely to a guy that didn’t give a damn about even himself.

Honestly the brightest part of this book for me was Ford. Here was a broken man doing his damndest to keep everything together. The only adult in this book that actually takes responsibility for anything, he has dropped out of college to run his alcoholic father’s auto repair shop. Addict Mom is out of the picture in parts unknown, and the entire family is still reeling from the death of his sister, who had also fallen in with a bad crowd. Ford has an excellent head on his shoulders, and underneath his hard exterior is a heart of gold who really just wants to love and be loved in return.

For someone that wasn’t trying to hurt me, he did a d*mn good job doing the exact opposite. Being with Ford felt so natural. The way my hands fit into his and how he touched me made me feel like I’d been with him for years. I hated knowing that it was all going to end.

While there was definite chemistry between Ford and Sky, I feel like a lot of the prerequisite circumstances that cause couples problems weren’t necessarily angsty, but actually annoying. Just wait until you meet Ashley, and Shayne, and Ford’s dad, and Ford’s mom, and Ashley’s Dad, and pretty much EVERYONE that wasn’t named Ford. The next book will star Shayne and Lacey, and I am very interested to see if my opinion of him will change.

4.5 star read for me. I will definitely read it again before the next installment releases, just to get my Ford fix. show less

This book was not what I expected. I thought it was going to be more superficial and smutty fantasy, but I found it to be so realistic and true to life. A lot of the contemporary romance books that I read are full of things that most people will never experience. This book will call to the hearts of so many who may feel they are in a similar situation.

Aria and Flynn got together in high school. When Aria became pregnant, their entire future changed. Instead of having the time to find show more themselves and sow their wild oats, they become newlyweds and then parents when they should have been graduating high school and attending college. Although they did a good job of putting a home together and are mature in many areas, they haven't grown as a couple. Aria is full of insecurities which turn her in to something she doesn't want to be. This causes chain reactions that lead to Flynn making unwise decisions. Everything just continues to escalate and spiral. After seven years of marriage, it's uncertain if there is anything to salvage.

This couple went round after round with each other. Nothing was romanticized. I like how the author kept it real. I could totally understand how everything progressed, and I felt the struggle. There are many heightened emotions and some sexy scenes, but what I liked best is how lifelike it is. Sometimes I can't quite understand circumstances in something I read, but comprehension came easily with this storyline.

3.5 stars
