My Cherie Amour
by Gwen Piercy
My Review
I had a hard time getting into this it has a great plot with
some great characters. There were parts I loved and places where I thought to
much filler were used. The things you want
in life are in your sites when a new man walks into your life and the past comes
back home. There is a little of a love triangle more or less one sided but
still there. Selena is on her way to becoming a top chief she just needs the
big break. That big break is about to
break her but there is still hope when Dean comes in out of a storm and tries
their soul food. It isn’t long before he is not only hooked on the food but the
little lady serving it.
Selena is a lady full of sass which I love she tells it like
it is I really liked her. She is a go getter, family is important to her, she
gives up so much to help run the family business which is falling apart. She
works hard and doesn’t expect anything to be given to her. I really liked her personality
at times she has me smiling. Other times my heart broke for her a little.
Dean is an alpha male who knows when to step back and
regroup. He shows this over and over again. He has lots of money but it doesn’t
guide him, to just meet him you won’t think he did he is very sweet, kind and
pleasant to be around as well as being very down to earth. He wants a woman who
wants him and not his money he puts Selena to the test will she pass or will he
walk away? Dean kept me smiling with his
kind heart and wonderful personality. There is something big that happens that will
put Dean and Selena at odds with each other. It is any ones guess if their new
love is strong enough to weather it.
I did not feel the pull or the chemistry between these two.
They felt more like very good friends than want to be lovers. I really enjoyed
how Dean pulled her out with her getting her way but him getting his. He is a
very sneak man which makes him so much more Dearing. Handsome, has money, and
so giving what else could a girl want. I
like how Selena stood up for herself didn’t let Dean’s money and business sway
her. One of the reasons I have given this a low star is for me if I can turn
pages after pages and not miss anything then it has too much filler and not
enough of the main story. If you were to skip pages most likely where you pick
up you most likely could not tell you have missed anything.
Mark who knows about him he worked for me at the beginning
but after awhile he just seemed misplaced. He was a great character which you
will not like and you aren’t supposed to. There was one part where Selena meets
the Chief again and they go at it, once he said something she changes her mind.
I thought that was a little too fast. That scene didn’t work for me. I loved
her father and that he didn’t give up the dream he and his wife built. I think
it was his way to stay busy and keep her memory alive. I really liked the plot
and the characters. All in all it wasn’t a bad read at all just a little too
many fillers. Some reads love this I am not one of them. I do hope you will
give this story a read. For me it was worth reading.
Sadly at this time it is not up for sale. I was asked by the
author to read and give an honest review.

Summary
Selena Campbell does not believe in love. Love belongs in
movies. If her past had taught her anything, it was that love only gets in the
way of your real life dreams- in her case, the dreams of being a successful
chef.
There was no man in the world who could deter Selena from her path.Or so she thought. Till one fine night, of all the barbecue joints, in all of the world, he walked into hers...
Dean was Selena's worst nightmare. Drop dead gorgeous, flamboyant and kind.The more time she spent with him, the less she could deny that they had some serious chemistry. But it was not long before his wild past crept into their lives. Sometimes, the past creates walls that are impossible to climb... unless you risk it all.
What do you do when love leaves you no choice?
