Cherishing You

Romance Contemporary

Shannon had a rough life. She went from foster home to foster home, never feeling like part of a family. Shannon thought she had escaped all that when she married Jeff, but she could not give up her old life of drinking and drugs. Even when she had her daughter Olivia, she just couldn't handle it, and Shannon leaves Jeff and her daughter. Fast forward about five years and Shannon has become a different person. She and Olivia are reunited, and Shannon has given up her old life and now is concentrating on becoming a good mother.

She works in a diner and everyday a man comes in and sits in her section. He is good looking, but Shannon isn't ready for any kind of relationship. Jonah continues to pursue Shannon, but the only problem is Jonah comes from a very powerful family. Shannon knows she will never fit in, especially because Jonah's parents do not care for her. They have big dreams for Jonah like running for office.

Kris Jayne, you bring romance to a whole new level. I really love the Thirsty Hearts series; CHERISHING YOU is the third in the series. Kris's writing is great, or I would never have read this many in the series. Her writing reminds me a lot of other bestselling romance authors, Jill Shalvis and Nora Roberts. In CHERISHING YOU we also have characters from previous books in the series. This to me is what makes a great series. I love catching up on ones from previous books. You really don't need to read the series in order since you can get caught up on who is who. Sit back and let your mind wonder as to who would be CHERISHING YOU. Get a glass of wine and let the romance begin.

SUMMARY

Love springs from passion, but can it withstand the pressures of family, expectation, and the past?

New job. New address. New name. Shannon Clifton has one focus. After missing most of the first seven years of her daughter’s life, she’s getting her life together to be a good mother to Olivia. She’ll prove to her ex-husband and the world that her past of drug addiction and crime is history.

Jonah Moran hasn’t struggled for much. He has a cushy job at his father’s billion-dollar company, a string of socialite girlfriends, and anything money can buy.

One night, Shannon’s past confronts her in a dangerous encounter that brings Jonah to her rescue. Shannon and Jonah begin a relationship that offers something new for each of them. Shannon’s never had a man sweep her off her feet with elegant charm. Jonah’s never had a woman who appreciates each joy like it’s her first. Drawn together in a novel passion, they find solace in each other’s worlds even as their differences threaten them with ruin.

Jonah’s family has no intention of welcoming Shannon, and Shannon fights to stand on her own feet for the first time in her life. Can Shannon and Jonah push through the barriers and find lasting love?
