REVIEW: Cherish (Covet #1.5) by Tracey Garvis-Graves

November 12, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment

CHERISH (COVET, #1.5)
By: Tracey Garvis-Graves
Publication Date: October 28, 2014
Cherish (Covet, #1.5)

When Daniel Rush wakes up in the hospital after suffering a gunshot wound to the head, the last person he expects to see at his bedside is his ex-wife Jessica. Their marriage disintegrated after the death of their infant son Gabriel, and Daniel gave Jessie what he thought she wanted: the freedom to start over with someone else. But Daniel never updated his emergency contact information, and Jessie is the one who receives the call with the devastating news. 

Daniel was Jessie’s one true love. Together since college, Jessie had dreams of raising a family with Daniel, and growing old together. When Gabriel died, Jessie buried those dreams with her beloved son and shut everyone out, including Daniel. 

Daniel faces months of grueling rehabilitation and he’s going to need some help. Jessie is the last person anyone expects to volunteer, but this is her one chance to make amends, giving her and Daniel a shot at getting things right this time.

The road to recovery will be long and arduous. But with Jessie leading the way, Daniel just might be able to get his old life back. 

Daniel knows how to covet. But can Jessie help him remember how to cherish?

Erin’s Thoughts

Cherish by Tracey Garvis-Graves
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just lovely.

I don’t normally do reviews for novellas but I have to put my thoughts out there for this one by Tracey Garvis-Graves since Covet was one of my favorite books I read last year and I have told just about everyone I know that they need to read it. Admittedly, the one thing that I wanted was more Daniel and Garvis-Graves came through with Cherish.

I loved that I was immediately pulled into Daniel’s past by finding out that Daniel has been injured and at the same time, being introduced to Jessie. It was important to get Jessie’s point of view in this story since we had the opportunity to know Daniel from Covet. I went into this book with some ideas of who I thought Jessie would be and I have to admit, by the end of the story, I felt completely different about her.

I don’t want to go into a ton of detail about this story because I don’t want to ruin it for anyone but I will say that I was happy to get Jessie’s point of view of what changed in their relationship with the death of their son but also understand what she went through and the impact it had on them individually as well as a couple. Garvis-Graves shows us that their feelings for each other were never really changed, they just didn’t have the tools to figure out what to do. Seeing these two characters find their way back to each other was wonderful and the thing that I loved was the idea that a twist of fate (like not updating emergency contact information) is something that can get life back on track and ultimately lead to two people being able to help each other heal.

If you enjoyed Covet, definitely check this one out!

Make sure you grab book one in this series!!
