Product Description

From Amazon.com

Gunslinger turned rancher, Race Spencer has little knowledge of chaste women. But he's forced to learn when he rescues Rebecca Morgan, the soul survivor of a church group attacked by a band of outlaws anxious to steal the church's money. When Race interrupts their assault before the money is found, a gun battle ensues. Now Race must keep Rebecca safe from the outlaws who are eager to get their hands on the money no matter what the cost. This rough-hewn hero and beautiful heroine's life experiences are light years apart: innocent Rebecca, sheltered from the world by her religion, and cynical Race, who grew up in a world of prejudice and violence, with his physical size and swift gun as his only protection. But they miraculously find a common ground and learn to love each other, making Cherish an emotional read. Don't miss it. --Lois Faye Dyer --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


From Library Journal

When Race Spencer turned to ranching, he swore his gunslinging days were over, but an extremely brutal attack on a religious group's wagon train, leaving only one survivor?lovely, naive Rebecca Morgan?makes him realize that his deadly skills may once again be needed. The age-old conflict of the "good, innocent woman" vs. the "bad, dangerous man" takes on new dimension in Anderson's talented hands as she weaves an intense story of two emotionally damaged characters and their struggle to find themselves and each other through the healing power of love. Typical of Anderson's other works, Cherish realistically depicts the lawless violence and hardships of the period, making the romance all the sweeter. Anderson (Forever After, LJ 2/15/98) is a respected, award-winning writer, primarily of historical romances. She lives in Sutherlin,

4.0 out of 5 stars Cherish, Oct 30 2003
By K. Hill (Windsor, NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cherish Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Rebecca Morgan goes into shock when her family is murdered in front of her. Race Spencer comes to her rescue and thinks she looks like an angel. He takes care of her in her while she is in need of protection and he soon falls in love with her. The story moves fast. It's funny despite all the bad things that happen. The characters are endearing and likeable. Rebecca seems is so afraid, but Race helps her to become a stronger person. They help each other to become stronger people. The ending was good. There's a nice epilogue, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A love story to cherish., April 4 2001
By mirope "mirope" (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cherish Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Catherine Anderson writes romances that are so powerful and finely nuanced that they transcend their genre (not that I'm knocking romances!), and this book is no exception. It is the story of Rebecca Morgan, a member of devout religious sect that firmly believes in non-violence and is traveling across the wilderness to settle in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Along the way they are attacked by a band of outlaws that brutal murder and rape all of the sect except Rebecca. She is rescued by Race Spencer, a poorly educated former gunslinger. The two could not be more different. She is very educated and refined whereas Race grew up in the worst sort of circumstances and has never had an opportunity to go to school or enjoy any other civilized amenities. Nevertheless, he is obviously very wise in the ways of the world and incredibly compassionate. He is immediately attracted to Rebecca but recognizes not only that they are from completely different worlds but also that Rebecca has grown unhealthly dependent upon him after her recent trama.

In any other book Race's mangled English would have driven me crazy, but Anderson does such a fine job of portraying Race's very practical common sense and understanding that it wasn't a distraction. In fact, I could appreciate the humor in Race and Rebecca's frequent misunderstandings. Rebecca's emotional fragility and irrational fears could be frustrating, but they are so realistic that they ring true. This is an unusual story, but one that most readers will really enjoy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly depressing read, Sep 16 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cherish Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a real downer, and the heroine is a dependent weakling. Anderson is a talented writer who just needs a different plot.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent read, but not as good as Anderson's previous works.
I found Cherish to be a bit slower than the author's other books, and a bit more violent. There was always an impending sense of doom. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I "cherished" this book.
I was entranced from page one and I felt the murder-rape scene was mentioned only enough to portray what happened without going into long gory details. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Another helpless waif saved by the "manly" hero.
Okay, so this wasn't a horrible book, but it was frustrating to read. The subject matter, including rape, murder, and beatings, was intense and created a pervasive sense of doom... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Halfway through this book it finally got good.
It took more than 150 pages for Catherine Anderson to live up to her other novels. I almost did not finish it because the format was so dense and descriptive. Read more
