4 1/2 stars, When I was given an ARC copy of The Trap from NetGallery I consumed that book and then freaked when I realized I would have to wait to read what happened to Mitch, Paige, and Bree I was more than a little upset. I loved this book it hits some personal notes with me because my husband and I had our first child when I was 17, and with all 17 years olds we still had growing up to do and so the road was bumpy. Not the same as this story but this book still left a permeant mark in my mind. So when I saw that Trapped  was released I instantly got my copy, and dug in the second I could.Now I should also say that I am a very unforgiving reader when a heroine is wronged by her man it is almost always unforgivable to me, I want the hero to suffer painfully and then be humiliated and shunned and even though I hated Mitch there was some nagging in the back of my brain that was rooting for him to do the impossible and make me fall in love with him while he EARNED Paige's forgiveness. I have to give props to Beverley Kendal for this book she actually made me not only forgive Mitch, fall in love with him, and root for him.In the prequel we saw Paige get pregnant and Mitch leave. Now when his sister who has been by Paige's side every step of the way bring a picture of Bree (there daughter) and papers for Mitch to sign that will relinquish his parental rights Mitch finally wakes up. Leaving school Mitch comes home determined to be a part of his daughters life and make the wrongs right by gaining pages trust and forgiveness but not wanting anything else. But when Mitch see's Paige the feelings he buried surface.Paige has finally moved on and accepted being a single parent and given up on Mitch coming home. So when she see's him she is shocked and hurt. Soon Mitch starts to show Paige that he intends to be a part of Bree's life and help Paige. As many times as Paige tell's herself she wants nothing more from Mitch the more time they spend together the harder it is to distinguish her true feelings for Mitch. But soon Mitch realizes that he not only hurt Paige and his family but being absent has hurt the relationship he now so desperately wants with his daughter.The more time Mitch, Paige, and Bree spend together the harder it is for them to deny the feeling that never went away. But Paige isn't sure she can forgive and trust Mitch for leaving when she needed him most, now Mitch will have to decide what he is willing to do to get Paige back in his life and prove to her he is a changed man wanting nothing more than for Paige, Bree and himself to finally be a family.I loved this book Beverley Kendall did an amazing job with this book, she made me break down in tears, laugh, smile and root for Mitch. I loved that Mrs. Kendall made Mitch work for Paige's love and forgiveness, and didn't sweep their problems under the rug as well as make Paige realize her mistakes in what happened. I also loved the twist in this story, I saw it coming but I was so excited to see if I was right and to see how it turned out I was almost biting my nails with excitement. I was hooked from begging to end while reading this book, I didn't want to put it down and was sad to see it end.Paige and Mitch were great characters we saw their flaws but it was so easy to love them. I also really enjoyed how Bree was incorporated into this story it just added another dimension to this story that made it that much better. Not only did I love Mitch and Paige (and like I said before I HATED Mitch in the prequel) but I loved their friends and family's. This story was so full of great characters with depth. I am really excited to read their  friends story we were given a nice peak into there lives in this book and it just made me that much more excited. This book seriously exceeded my expectations and then some. Beverly Kendall did a great job, I literally couldn't have asked for more.
