My Assessment:

'The Misadventures of Itchy Izzy' was a good story featuring Isabelle and Peter. Interestingly, this author delivered her story so well to her audience. Both of these characters had lost their mom in one way or another. Izzy had lost her mom through heart complications, and Peter, well, that is quite another story that I will just let you read for yourself. Both of these characters were complex; however, Peter was able to get God into his life, and things were looking up for him. Will Peter be able to help Izzy along this road? Now for Izzy, things were somewhat different, but God had a plan for these two childhood first lovers. Both of these characters had some family members that were off the chart in what was happening, and the reader will have to pick up this novel to see what all that was about. It was great seeing how Peter and Isabelle got back together and how, with God, they were able to ... well, again, I will stop here, not wanting to give too much away. The central part of the story was how faith allowed Izzy and Peter to return to each other at the right time after all that had gone on with their damaged parents. The story is loaded with some very intriguing secondary characters that will have one shaking their heads and saying wow!

'The Misadventures of Itchy Izzy' read it was very entertaining, clean, and wholesome, which will keep one turning the pages to see what was coming next with these two families. So be ready for a good read.

My Thoughts....

What a beautifully written Christian romance fiction story of how when you let go of your secrets God will come in and makes it all good.  This was what had happened for Aaron Blackman and Simone Herron.   I enjoy how this author was able to bring out this story so well for the readers to understand that many times in our life we have to profess just what the problem is.  The characters were off the chart well developed, portrayed and this was such a believable story.  As it was for Aaron as he was able to speak with his pastor [I loved the scriptures presented in the read] and for Simone who had fear issues that we find her best friend Kendra tried to give her some good advice on what she needed to do. Would she  listen to her friend about the fears that was going on in her life?  In the end will these two be able to listen to each other and except forgiveness so they may have a HEA?  Well, this is where I say you will have to pick up this wonderful well written novel to see how this author brings it all out to the readers to see how 'God puts all the broken pieces together.'  Would I recommend?  YES!
