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!
