Characters: Dom and Cherry

Content Warning: talk of cancer, death of a parent 

We met these characters in the previous book, these are books you have to read in order.

Cherry is in her forties and is devoted to her daughter, she had her when she was 18, so people are shocked and assume she’s Hannah’s sister. When she goes to visit with her daughter, she is introduced to Hannah’s roommate Chase and also Chase’s friend Dom. 

Dom is instantly attracted and smitten with Cherry and she makes things a bit difficult for him at first, but he wears her down. They get involved with each other and everything is great, but then something triggers Dom one day and he tells her that he has a son named Josh, and he hasn’t been able to see him due to his ex Roxanne. She made things very difficult for him, and honestly was a huge bitch denying their son from seeing Dom.

Cherry knows someone who helps with father’s getting custody and visitations. Dom is scared and shocked that he gets to see his son. 

One night Dom goes to visit Cherry and he sees that her job she works at is on fire and she lives in the apartment above it. He risks his life and saves Cherry.

He has her move in with him. They fall in love.

What I loved about this book:

1. Hero was absolutely obsessed with the heroine, he just wanted to spend as much time with her as possible 
2. You can see how much he got fucked over by the system, but how much he tried to fight for his son for years.
3. I loved seeing Cherry having a great relationship with Dom’s son. Also Hannah becoming a great step sister to him.
4. I was happy that the mother (Roxanne) stopped being a bitch and they were able to become closer as a shared family unit. When Roxanne developed cancer, she had help with meals with Dom’s friends. Also being there in her final days. She knew that Dom and Cherry would take care of their son.
