Can two hearts entwined by hardship move on to form a healthy bond? From the author of His to Love and His to Protect, this tender, bittersweet romance brings together a man who loses everything—and a woman with everything to give.
Chelsea Dwyer arrives home from her job at the middle-school library in Latham Hills, Michigan, expecting another quiet evening—until she hears the screams for help through her living room window. As the first witness to a terrible accident involving two local students, Chelsea doesn’t anticipate how her own life will be irrevocably changed by the father of one of the boys. In the wake of tragedy, she’s the only one who seems to understand his grief. Chelsea’s a survivor, too—and she knows that there are brighter days ahead.
As a single father, Aidan Deveraux worked his entire life to provide a stable home for his son, Derrick. Without him, Aidan feels the deepest despair imaginable. The one thing that keeps him going is his connection with the woman who tried to save his son. Hard as he tries, Aidan just can’t stay away. Chelsea’s warm embrace is the comforting solace he desperately craves—and it doesn’t hurt that Aidan had noticed the beautiful librarian and wanted to ask her out for years. Now that she’s in his life, he doesn’t ever want to let go.

Review

His to Cherish is the third installment of Fireside by Stacey Lynn

Chelsea Dwyer idea of a nice quiet evening was pierced when she hears a scream for help through her living room window. As she rushes to the sound, she witnesses a devastating accident regarding two local students. The shock of loss not only alters her world, but Shane and single father, Aidan Deveraux.

Can Chelsea help a grieving father while helping Shane with his guilt?

Wow. I did not expect the power of emotion that surges through this story. The grief of losing a loved one is never easy, but neither is accepting the fact one so loved is gone. Stacey Lynn certainly pulls me and any other readers into this heart-wrenching story. You not only see grief of losing a loved one, but also not being able to help those who are suffering. I loved that Chelsea helped with the pain of loss between Aidan and Shane. Shane lives with survival guilt while Aidan morons the loss of his son. The way this story was constructed will leave you emotionally raw, but that’s what I love about His to Cherish. After reading this book, you’ll also want to be in the arms of a loved one. I know I did.

I highly recommend. – Reviewed by Julianne Knutson
