This was quite an adventure I will never forget. Frankly, it was sooooooo hard to put down!!!!!!!!!!!! I would've kept reading all night long if I could. I wouldn't want to change anything about them or the story in general. Yes, there were several heart-breaking, sad moments in the novel, which make the story a generally sad one.

Definitely one story I will never forget, Brandewyne does it again! I've lost count of how many times I've read Love, Cherish Me by Rebecca Brandewyne but I've laughed, cried and raged with and loved the characters in this story as though they were friends I'd had for years; reading about how tenderly the gunslinger El Lobo The Wolf helps Storm both before and during the birth of their son, Chance the Autumn Wind and how bravely she uses what she'd learned to protect herself when needed.

Wow what a story, and emotional to say the least. My goodness, I knew I was in for a challenge when I realised this was nearly pages long but I did not expect this tragic and epic story to unfold. This story is not for the faint hearted who like perfect romance novels with the good guys.
They have done some pretty atrocious things to each other and other pe 4. There are some tender moments and also those that made me want to scream with frustration.

So, I'm not sure if my high regard for this story is so because the last few I've read we're such stinkers or if it really was that good.

I was a little put off by the EXTRA attention to detail employed in her scenery descriptions but, other than that destraction, this historical romance did what it was supposed to do - gave us a grand love story within the backdrop of the American West and it's rich and unjustly gained history.
May 30, Stefanie Soliday rated it it was amazing. Read it 15 years ago and loved it so much I still think of it today in my list of favorite novels. I don't even read romance anymore, and haven't since I was a teenager, but I will be reading this one again. Apr 07, Jan rated it it was amazing.

Love, Cherish Me
Well, this isn't that bad if you can get over few Major Irksome details. The author has chosen such difficult dialect for few minor characters that any attempt at reading it takes all attention away from the flow of the story - like the heroine's negro maid and many others. She the author wastes line after line in discription of every minute detail, which is another distraction that keeps you long from the characters. The heroine, initially was alright but now she is bodering on silly. The hero was in truth a white man. But he accepted a red Indian family as his own at a young age.
So believing himself a comanche may be alright, but the author describing him as haif breed felt wrong to me 'cause both his biological parents were white after all. Then his first thought in relation to the heroine was, had she black eyes she'd look like his first wife.
This ruined it for me completely. Don't feel like continuing it. But if you can, go on. May be it might get better. Jan 28, Ms. Marble rated it liked it Shelves: I thought the author tried too hard to create an epic, and in the end it seemed like a retelling of a great book, a brief account of events that probably deserved a better and more attentive approach.
The more we are told about the great love the characters feel for each other the less I felt it. There are things I thought that could be done better. For example, the first chapter takes place 10 years after the main events, and instead of being intriguing, it actually explains too much, you see how it all ended before it even begins.

Aug 14, Stevie Seber rated it it was amazing. Brandewyne also wrote a story telling about one of the minor secondary characters, La Aguilar The Eagle. There were times throughout the story I cried with Storm or raged with El Lobo; I also quite enjoyed learning about the Comanche.
I'd highly recommend this book to any who love historical romance, a delightful and engaging read.

This book sounds SO good, but if your reality is a baby who refuses to close his eyes unless you cover them with something, who wakes up screaming seconds after the rare occasion he falls asleep on his own, and who is unfortunate enough to spend the first month of his life wailing and writhing in pain while you figure out what foods are triggering his extreme gassiness, you will only end up frustrated and feeling like a failure if you try to live by this book.
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson – review | Books | The Guardian
If your infant escalates his cries to screams of fury if you don't feed him when he wakes up at night and will happily scream for HOURS until you exhaustedly give in, this book is setting you up for failure. If you look at the history of humanity, it's extremely unlikely that babies were ever intended to sleep on their own or through the night by 6 weeks of age; my husband and I ultimately concluded our child deserves a slower pace to sleeping long hours and separate from us.
In this day and age we cannot manage to co-sleep and nurse on demand until our child decides to give up those things on his own, but this book ended up being much too far to the other end of the spectrum for us. The positive that we got out of this, though, is the advice to change a baby's diaper before feeds in the first several weeks to ensure they are awake enough to have a good meal and the general guidance about length of wakefulness that is appropriate for small babies. If you have a baby who is happy to sleep and not inclined to fuss much, I'm sure the advice in this book would help you quickly get on a schedule that helps you as parents have a nice sense of normalcy in your lives.
I cannot over state how valuable I found Helen's advice and experience, though some of the criticism by other reviewers is warranted. I read a lot before giving birth, and no other book was as specific and useful for the first weeks of life. This is where some of the criticism comes in, but Helen Moon is careful to say that these are typical schedules babies tend to follow, so that you can figure out what you're doing in the shitstorm of new parenthood.
This is NOT a "force your baby to do this" schedule, and should not be read as such! As with all parenting books, you have to use your judgement. The book is not omniscient and cannot see your child, it is just a reference tool. Partly, this is his personality. The commenter who mentioned this is "sleep training" is incorrect - "sleep training" is a process that is typically started after 4 months, and is a parallel philosophy to Cry it Out. Moon and other authors suggest that babies are capable of sleeping through the night fairly early on, but my son couldn't.
He needed to eat twice a night, and so I fed him. But I followed her sleep routine, and by 5 months he slept through the night easily. No crying it out, no wailing, just easy sleep. The author is a full time baby nanny, not a Pulitzer prize winner, and that's ok. But that's because she's sharing her personal experience with you, and she does so via anecdotes. They get a little old and can sound pretentious, but oh well. The content is well worth it! I read this book before giving birth, my husband created an excel chart that showed the suggested schedules which saved my sanity the first few weeks, and we read the relevant chapter together each week to refresh ours memories and prepare for the week ahead.
Again, I can't recommend it highly enough. Even if you don't think you'll need it, this is the book you'll want to pull off the shelf at 2am the first week when you have no idea what you're doing! Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Bought this as a stressed mom of a two week old, late preterm baby. A schedule sounded soooo tempting during those days.
I even gave it a try. The one thing I have implemented was the bedtime. It's hard to ascertain if it's nature or nurture, I was also a good sleeper as a baby, but come bedtime she's ready. Around 2months she was already sleeping about 6 hours at night. I guess it wasn't a complete waste of money but just listen to your baby, not the clock, and you'll be fine. Also, the book oversimplifies and ignores that babies could be different and not always conform to the schedule even if parents are being consistent.
Definitely worth a read. This was a great basic book that outlines feeding, and baby basics like how to burp, swaddle, etc. I have experience with newborns and already knew how to do the basics but it was nice to get a reminder to build confidence and there are helpful little tips.
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson – review
Our daughter is 6 weeks old and we have followed this book from day one. This is s great middle ground of stressing the importance of attaching and bonding but also encouraging parents to take the lead in helping baby get in a good eating and feeding schedule. This is the pattern of the novel; there are many deaths or near deaths — the cat falls asleep on baby Ursula's face and suffocates her, but, inventing mouth-to mouth-resuscitation, her mother Sylvie saves her; the dead or near dead are granted another life.
So Ursula, in the toddler version, is swept away by a tide in Cornwall, never to be seen again, but later she reappears in the narrative. These near deaths, I think, represent the deep anxieties of family life and what could have happened. The Todd family is comfortably wealthy and lives just beyond the leafy edge of north London, in a large house called Fox Corner. While the genial Hugh does something in the City, the more waspish Sylvie, his wife, produces children and casts a sardonic eye over the family, but particularly over Hugh's sister, Isobel, or Izzie, who is the most erratic of the family, and blessed with a wild talent for self-invention.
It is she who helps Ursula have an illegal abortion after she is raped by a visiting American.

Later, it seems the rape did not happen; the boy kissed Ursula rather vigorously as a goodbye gesture. Ursula suffers horribly at the hands of two men — one who treats her casually, one who abuses her physically. This relationship with a liar and conman is an awful, violent, episode. Meanwhile, Teddy, the beloved younger brother, dies, but re-emerges as a second world war pilot who narrowly escapes death before being held in a German POW camp for two years. During the war, Ursula works during the day in one of the ministries, and at night she is on fire watch.
