Cherishing Brianna is the fifth book in the Fate Harbor series featuring an emotional MFM romantic suspense story for Brianna, Charlie, and Zac. Brianna has been living a strict, lonely life for 8 years, trying to outrun the trauma and fear instilled by her nightmare childhood. An incident in Dallas has the walls closing in, and sends Brianna racing to Fate Harbor to spend some time with the only loving family she ever knew. Flying through town she gets pulled over by the broody, hot sheriff, Charlie. She later meets the sexy vet, Zac, with whom she also has an immediate inexplicable connection. What could possibly go wrong when two men who barely know each other fall in love with the same woman? It is a town full of triads after all. Can they make it work? Or will Brianna make good on her promise to leave, before she reveals whatever secrets are keeping her from allowing herself to be happy?
 
Brianna’s story was a heart-wrenching one. The topics of parental mental illness, child abuse, and the way they continue to impact someone’s life later were written with much grace and sensitivity. I loved the authenticity of the emotions throughout the story. There was plenty of balance with witty banter and fun moments with many of the characters, plus the spicy hot chemistry between Brianna and her guys!
