The fact that this is 19 pages long and I gave 4* should tell you how much I enjoyed this free little short.
Hannah is an absolute delight although it would appear that she has Jory’s attraction to trouble.

[Mirjana **DTR - Down to Read**]

You know what they say..."Like father, like daughter."

Told entirely from Hannah's (Sam and Jory's daughter) POV, this is a quick story showing that the ability to find yourself in a crazy situation is continuing on to the kids.

Guest stars: Ian and Miro

Wow...Hannah is just like Jory lol. I love reading stuff from a kid's perspective.

[Elise ✘ a.k.a Ryder's Pet ✘]

This was a nice, little short story from Hannah's (10) POV. It's was adorable to see how alike she is Jory and how alike Kola (12) is Sam. And I adored Hannah and Kola's relationship. I do hope we get more of them, even though I believe this series is done. I also liked that Ian and Miro appeared and we got a little scene with them and Hannah.

A Jory and Sam Thanksgiving Ficlet

[Jennifer☠Pher☠]

First of all, I have no idea how I missed this coming out!

Second of all, HOLY SHIT THAT SCARED ME TO DEATH!

Oh boy do Sam and Jory have their hands full with Hannah and Kola! But seriously, especially Hannah!

Excellent!

[Leaundra]

I don't know how I missed this one? I love this family and I love the kids so much!

[Melissa]

Turns out I've read this before I just didn't mark it. Cute, short and mostly about B (the daughter). She's turning into a trouble magnet just like Jory.

[Wax]

Loved it! Hannah is so much like Jory. :) Also enjoyed seeing Miro and Ian.

[Bronwyn]

I don’t usually give 5 stars to such a short story, but this was really good. Hannah is so much like Jory that it makes you see how much adopted kids still pick up their parents’ traits.

This is a free read available on the author’s website.

This short story had me rolling because of its ludicrousness! Hannah aka B was hilarious. But the best part of the book was when Miro and Ian showed up and got to be heroes in motherfucking Sam Kage's book instead of the other way around!!!

I enjoyed this so much that I read it on the bus on the way in to work this morning instead of sleeping some more. And then I read it a second time once I got to work.

B and Kola are awesome kids. Sam and Jory are amazing parents. So much packed into a little story. Kids are ingenious sometimes. They’re surprisingly good at getting out of situations. Love all of these mini books that expand on the families of these characters. 💜💜💜

I had to come into work today to babysit the office for a few hours and was grumpy. But then, Jenni Lea added this and I had to read it and man oh man, has my day been made.

I loved this but it's Mary so... duh? B is way too much like Jory with her knack for getting in trouble but both she and Kola have good hearts. Speaking of hearts, my was a mess when Sam and Jory find out what was going on and then when B had to call Aaron AND then who she runs into??? LAWD! All the people and all the swoons and again, day made.

Matter of Time #8.5
told from Hannah's point of view when she is 11 years old. This is a wonderful addition to the "Matter of Time" series!

This actually the cutest story of Sam and Jorys's family. And how it looks like. Like father like kids, I think.
Fun and adorable, added Miro and Ian in the picture. This is entertaining.

[CB]

Adorable and Hannah is JUST LIKE JORY!

[Joyce]

This was awesome. It is very short but cute and fun, mostly. It shows just how much both kids are like their parents as well. I also am thrilled to finally understand the references made to this night in the Marshals series :). Its fun on its own but probably will be insanely confusing if you didn't read Matter of Time - But For You first.

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

3.5 stars rounded up because Ian and Miro are in it.

This was really confusing at first because Hannah is referred to as “B” and both kids are way older than I thought Jory’s kids were. Then I realized this was #8.5 not 6.5 which is further ahead than I am in the series.

The beginning was boring and I skimmed over it but then it got interesting with lots of excitement and danger.

[Becca]

A thoroughly entertaining addition to the Matter of Time universe, this time told from Hannah's Pov. What can I say, she's her father's daughter!

As an extra bonus, we also get cameo appearances from Ian and Miro.

4.75 stars

[jasmin]

Finally the lil interaction between Miro, Ian and Hannah. It feels like I’ve been waiting forever to catch up to this scene after it being mentioned in the Marshals series. But also finally more Miro and Ian!!! I love them sm.

[Linda-Grace]

Cute

She's just awesome. *lol*

[Marge]

Nice little freebie.

[Mnms]

A short story showing that Hannah definitely is Sam and Jory's daughter

[KI]

Cute as usual for A Matter of Time series.
