Cherish by Catherine Anderson 4.5/5


Cherish, by Catherine Anderson

Genre: Historical Regency Romance

Sensuality: 8.5/10

This one I picked up randomly at a local fair. The synopsis on the back cover does NOT do the book justice. Cherish was first printed in 1998. And it may have been reprinted since then.

I was surprised at how funny it was. When you have two characters like Race and Rebecca who are such polar opposites, comedy is inevitable I guess. She is a sheltered woman of God and he is a formally uneducated rancher of Indian descent.

This story had a few action scenes, tear jerking moments and such ‘sweet’ chemistry. Anderson painted Race as a natural and giving protector. Big, tall and handsome. ;)

Some authors risk prospective readers passing up on great books because of cheesy ‘romantic’ synopsis. Like I almost did with this one.

I’ve read quite a few Catherine Anderson romances over the years. I find she writes such vivid, well-described westerns.

Enjoy!

4.5/5
