Don’t get me wrong, I think that both men were worthy individuals for her heart, however, I felt that more time was spent establishing the relationship between Camilla and Bachelor #1, than her and Bachelor #2 (not trying to give away any spoilers here hence no names) so it felt a little out of left field when she didn’t choose Bachelor #1. I don’t mind the choosing between two men trope that was actually relatively well-handled, but I did feel like she had chosen the wrong man in the end, which is unusual in a romance novel as you are typically pretty sure who will be the victor in the end. But…then she attracts a little too much attention from the opposite sex and has to decide between two equally wonderful men. Once she finds that her brother is finally settled down she decides it’s time to focus on herself and finding her own man.

While this is technically the 9 th book in the multi-author Cutter’s Creek series, you certainly do not need to have read all 8 preceding it to enjoy this book (I haven’t), but I would recommend reading Betrothed first to find out how Camilla got to Cutter’s Creek and get some backstory.Ĭamilla has always been the one that supports everyone else around her and hasn’t looked out for herself: her siblings back home and then later her brother and his wife and kids upon arriving in Cutter’s Creek. Who will she choose? Cherished is the continuation of the story of Camilla Brown that originated in her brother’s story, Betrothed. When an unexpected danger threatens her very life, Camilla will have to make a choice. But then, Sheriff Clifford Brentwood sweeps her off her feet, literally! Both men make her pulse race. That is, until the handsome Winston Frank comes courting at the church picnic. She’d begun to feel as though she'd always be in the background, helping others build their families, leaving her dreams to wilt and die.
