A Love to Cherish

Six years ago Cornell Robertson made a terrible mistake. Since then, he has gained fame and fortune but it never could redeem what he had done to Tracey Hamilton. Now, an opportunity has presented itself for Cornell to make things right with Tracey; however, she wants nothing to do with him. Not about to be deterred by her negative words especially when her eyes refused to confirm what her lips were saying Cornell was determined to re-win Tracey's heart. Tracey Hamilton never believed that she would ever see Cornell Robertson again. Yet, Fate had other ideas because not only did Cornell show up in her small hometown for his pro-football training season, bringing along with him old feelings that should have stayed buried in the past, he also wanted to rekindle their once shared heated love affair. But how could Tracey rightfully forgive Cornell for the actions of his past when she was hoarding a potential devastating secret from him - that he was the father of her five-year-old twin children. Beverly Clark's A Love to Cherish was a heartfelt story about betrayal and forgiveness. While a plot that might seen like a familiar storyline in general, A Love to Cherish had just the right amount of drama to keep me heavily intrigued. Because of the lasting impression made by his estranged father at a very young age, Cornell vowed to never let a woman stand in the way of his success. So, when Tracey became an obstacle Cornell quickly pushed her out of his way with some very hurtful, inexcusable words. After their very painful breakup, Tracey wanted nothing more to do with Cornell; but, once Cornell had Tracey back in his life he wasn't about to give up on a second chance at recapturing her sweet love and affection. The passion showcased between Cornell and Tracey was very strong and undeniable. There were some sexual occurrences throughout the book, but they were told in a vanilla, gently described fashion with just enough heat to make things fascinating. I found A Love to Cherish to be an earnest, touching, enjoyable read. Nikita Steele Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

I enjoyed this book. I loved the male lead and how he was determined to go after what he wanted even though he may not have deserved it. I liked the kids too - they were sweet. The story/romance was a good one and kept my attention. As I thought the story was coming to a close, the author brought in another twist - which I could have taken or left. All in all a good read.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great read! Don't you just love "lost love romance," I do! Tracey and Cornell are great together. This book was filled with people making love connections! If you like this one, try Clark's previous work, you will enjoy that one too!

I enjoyed this book for the mere fact that it involved the past relationship of college sweethearts and the choices they made. We often find ourselves making decisions based on the influences of our parents not knowing at the time what price we'll have to pay. Well Tracey Hamilton and Cornell Robertson experienced at first hand but now their sudden meeting after many years brings nothing but the test of true love. If you just enjoy stories dealing with these type of relationships, sacrifices, trying to be loyal to family and just love of the heart, this can be an interesting story to read. Some of my other favorites by Beverly Clark are: The Price of Love and Yesterday Is Gone.
