CHERISH is satisfying enough to sate the hunger that a lot of loyal fans are yearning for. ~ Under the Covers
Tere Michaels indulges readers by going back to back Evan and Matt. This time, it’s a short story, but CHERISH is satisfying enough to sate the hunger that a lot of loyal fans are yearning for. When Evan learns that Miranda, one of Evan’s teenage daughters is seeing a new guy and has plans to marry him at age twenty-one, he begins to worry and stress. Readers get a glimpse of the strong bond between Matt and Evan once again as they deal with whatever life throws at them. And even though Evan has moved on and but still loves Sherri, it doesn’t seem as if Miranda has moved past the death of her mother.
As Thanksgiving approaches, drama ensues when Evan asks Miranda, her new boyfriend and his parents to dine with them and their family. They deal with conflicting beliefs, angst, lingering grief and uninhibited passion.
What I liked about this conflict is the fact that it isn’t about Matt and Evan per se, but about the entire family that they have become. So even though I was only slightly disappointed when I found out they weren’t getting married yet, I didn’t hold on to those feelings for long. Evan and Matt already surpass that milestone even without the legal papers proving it. I think they demonstrate well how love is a measure of happiness. Their trust and loyalty in one another was satisfying enough for me. I do, however, have my fingers crossed that someday they will cement their love with marriage.
I also like how Evan still very much loves his wife even now, but accepts the fact that someone else is there for him now. It shows such growth in his character from where we see him in FAITH & FIDELITY.
Lastly, Michaels’s writing is always entertaining and fun. For such a short book, she is so readily able to turn on the charm. I love that about her writing. She had me smiling and laugh out loud with some of the lines and it only made me love the characters, and this book more!

Did you like this review? If so, please tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!

Great review Ann, have this series on my TBR list, can’t wait to start reading.
Ann,
Woman–now this review makes me want to get 2 books, GAH! I must read the first before I tackle this short story.
But I love it when you get more than just the smexin in a story–and it sounds angsty and love the family dynamics that they (Evan and Matt) are dealing with–it sounds awesome and a little emotional, which is right up my alley.
Great review!
Tere is a new author for me. I can’t wait to read the Faith, Love, and Devotion series. It sounds fantastic. Thanks for the review.
