Cherry Bomb: A Brighton Novel
by Carmel Rhodes
Cherry is your not so average girl trying to get a college degree while working a local high end steak house. She was betrayed be her sister and bf in HS so she has closed off her heart since then. She has her hookups but all she wants to do is work and graduate college. But when the sexy Brit, Cash, walks into her restaurant they instantly click. They spend an amazing night together where they both say it is just one night. But neither one of them can walk away. Even after they find out that Cash is Cherry's best friend's dad.
I was shocked by this book. I picked it up because I saw age gap and best friends dad. Both are one-clicks for me. I was just thinking I would get a deliciously salacious book. I got that in spades for sure. But there was more to it than that and it made love it all that much more. This book dealt with mental health and dependency issues which I was not expecting. Cherry had her issues and she thought she was dealing with them but she was just masking them. Cash comes in and blows her whole world upside down. He takes care of her in a way that no one has before. I was so clear how much Cash loved Cherry and how much he wanted to protect and take care of her but her issues wouldn't allow her to fully fall. Then when it all falls apart I felt that the author did this perfectly. Don't get me wrong I hated it - I always want hearts, flowers and love - but that can't always be the case. The conflict was perfectly done and it felt real. All of it. My only complaint is it seemed too easy when they resolved everything. But Cash is kind of perfect and I love him so much. Cherry is a bad ass with a broken heart that only Cash can repair. Loved this book so hard.
PLEASE TELL ME WE GET JAX'S STORY!!!!
