Ironic Indeed

How ironic is that the same Travis/TJ/Trey Labranch that cause so much trouble in Fate, Chances and Misconception would fall in love with a black woman. I kind of figured from his first appearance in Fate that T.J. was harboring some deep hurt from his past. He was so angry in the other books. I'm glad Ms Starr allowed us to see his gentler much softer side. He was truly so romantic in this story I had to remind myself that he was previously a monster. Just goes to show with the love of the right person, change is possible. I thought it was interesting that Teresa read to his about the history of the Tuskegee Airmen. She was able to penetrate his mind and reach his actual spirit. It brought a tear to my eyes, when Megan looked at him and asked her father if Vicki was upset, because Trey looked like the bad man. She then went on to tell her sister, he's not the bad man the bad man is gone and she had her sister look into his eyes. I was thinking out of the mouths of babe, when her uncle said the same thing. This was a heart warming story and although it wasn't stuff full of steamy love scenes, you were still able to feel the love between Trey and Teresa. I truly love this series and definitely recommend this book to others.

Ironic

How ironic is it to deeply care about something you once proclaimed to hate the most? Well, just ask Travis Labranch, Jr. Here's his story... Determined to prevent his cousin from making the worse mistake of her life by marrying someone outside of her race, TJ (Travis) quickly hopped on a plane to his cousin's house. Before he could make it to his destination, TJ crashed his plane while flying through a massive snow storm somewhere in the Smoking Mountains. After being unconscious for an unknown amount of time TJ awakened to an injured body, temporary blindness and no recollection of who he was. The only thing that saved his sanity was the sweet, alluring voice of Teresa, his caretaker, as she read to him each night. During his recovery, Trey (the name Teresa used) and Teresa fell in love and planned on building a life together. But then, Trey began to experience terrible, cruel memories from his racist past that involved his continuous harassment of Teresa's family. Will Trey be able to maintain a hold on Teresa's love and win over her family by proving that he is now a changed man and he is no longer the bigot that he used to be? With Ironic Pamela Leigh Starr has written an unthinkable, dramatic conclusion to her Love Found saga. The one person who wrenched so much havoc to various members of the Lewis family, because of his chauvinistic hatred, has now found himself caught up in the rapture of love with an African American woman who just happens to be a Lewis. Now, how ironic is that! As much as I hated Travis' evil, prejudiced ways during the first three novels, I can truly say that he successfully redeemed himself in my eyes and it was easier to see him as a new, likable person (Trey) in Ironic. It is simply amazing what the power of love can do to a person. As a couple, Teresa and Trey compliment each other very well. As Ironic progressed, I witnessed the growth of their friendship and the depth of their love for each other. Overall, I was greatly pleased with how Ms. Starr managed to craft a wonderful romantic ending to such a superb series. Well Done! Nikita Steele Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Great Read

How ironic indeed. TJ finally saw the errors of his ways. It takes the compassion of a black woman to show him that love sees no color. I enjoyed the book very much. It is sad to see the Lewis family coming to an end.

Pretty Good Great Addition For Your Library

I have rented this book from my public library and it is pretty damn good. I am not going to give you a summary as many reviewers before have done so. But I'm in the middle of it right now and I have read FATE also and that was a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest. This book is about and 8 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Wonderful Ending to Lewis Series

Publisher Book Description: Ironic is the last in the four-book LOVE FOUND series, which centers around a black New Orleans family. Members of the Lewis clan find love in the most unexpected places and with the most unexpected people. Ironic brings the Lewis family saga all together as their nemesis, T.J., risks his life to save a woman he would never have expected to fall in love with. Teresa Lewis is in the process of doing many things she has never done before: taking time off to write, living in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains, experiencing snow for the first time. Then a plane crashes near her cabin and she becomes both rescuer and nurse to man she believes to be a terrible bigot. The howling wind and snow trap them inside, and Teresa slowly learns that her patient is not exactly what he appears to be. After weeks spent in his company Teresa is intrigued by his soft-spoken strength and his humor and finds herself doing something she has never done before: falling in love. ***I purchased the first and last of the Lewis Clan Saga after reading numerous reviews. I paid well above list price for "Fate" expecting to love "Fate" and like, perhaps tolerate, "Ironic" based upon everything I read. I liked "Fate" but preferred "Ironic" - I could see the author's artistic growth and development when comparing the two stories. I liked the tempo and flow of the book. My complaints: Daniel's reaction and the agents' lack of action toward the end; and the ending appeared somewhat rushed to me. A little more hero/heroine after finally getting together would have been nice.
