This is certainly one of my top reads of this year. I totally loved it.
I recommend you read book 1- Protect Me before reading Cherish Me.
Book 1 is the story of Ryan & Abbi. This story is about Judy & Jace. The storyline for this book is fantastic. The twists the author throws at you is brilliant. We get to see a lot more of Ryan & Abbi in this book as well
Wow... What can I say. This book is faultless. It's also got two very sexy alpha males in it... Of course you wanna read it:)
I HIGHLY recommend you read this story. This author is fantastic & I'm looking forward to reading more of her writing.
Received in return for an honest review.

The exciting follow up to Protect Me. Cherish Me is the second book in the Protected Love Series.
October 27, 2013
I have to start off by saying that I really enjoyed reading Protect Me, but after reading Cherish Me,well I am in LOVE with this book. It was such an amazing book. I loved that even though we are learning more about Judy and Jace, we also get a look into what is going on with Ryan and Abbi.
Judy is so spunky and funny. I love her personality and how she can always bring a smile to your face. She’s one of the sweetest girls.
Jace is just well, I am officially in Love with him. He’s dominant, loving, and just overall one of the most amazing and remarkable men. He takes such wonderful care of Judy and looks out for everyone close to him. I mean I thought I was crazy over Ryan, but after discoverying how great Jace is, I am officially HOOKED. Again I’ll say I LOVE Jace.
This book was wonderful. You will experience so many emotions throughout it that you heart doesn’t know if it wants to break or flutter. I was happy one minute and then I’d be bawling. Yes I cried. Some parts of the book broke my heart. It was amazing. I love a book that can make you feel everything deep inside of you.
Everything that Ashley goes through in this book will break your heart. I felt so bad for her and I am hoping and crossing my fingers that she will have a book next. That way she gets the happily ever after she deserves. I loved and adored everything that Jace did for Judy, like getting her brother home to her.
Your heart will instantly love Judy as well. I loved the baby reveal party that she throws for Abby and how much she loves Abbi’s baby and it still in her belly. Its such a sweet thing.
My heart broke for Judy over Alexis. Everything that poor Alexis went through was so awful and I hated that things didn’t turn out the way I was hoping for her. I literally bawled like a baby over what happened to her. It was very emotional.
As the end of the book is near you’ll find yourself anxiously awaiting to see how everything unfolds. Its really suspensful. I was worried through the whole end of the book. It drove me crazy.
Be prepared to love Jace MORE by the end of this book. I don’t want to give to much away, but I will say that he will be imprinted into your heart. The way he loves kids and gets attached to one certain one. It will touch your heart. I absolutely adore the warm family feel that all the guys in these books have towards one another. It’s amazing. The ending was special and touching and I loved it. Even though you will be thrown for a loop after EVERYTHING. It is one of those endings you are thrilled with then all of a sudden you are like O NO WHAT NOW.

This book is about Judy and Jace. Jace is a partner with Ryan at VIP Bodyguards Service. Judy and Jace got together in book 1- Protect Me. and Judy is shot. Abbi is Ryan's girlfriend. Abbi met Judy and her friend Ashley when she got a job in a bar called Mist which is run by Trent.
Judy is recovering from her gunshot wound and is living with Jace who is waiting on her and making sure she is protected. The other girl in the trio is Ashley but she's taking drugs and has gone AWOL. Jace and Ryan are both very protective over the girls after Abbi got kidnapped. So they have bodyguards with them at all times.
The guys are trying to find out who is behind the kidnapping and who shot Judy. Judy's childhood friend Lexi suddenly turns up out of the blue at Jace's apartment where Judy is living. No one knows Judy is there but those at VIP. So how does he know.
OK girls, I do recommend you read the first book in the series Protect Me - Ryan and Abbi's story before reading Cherish Me, thing will be clearer if you do.
I Absolutely LOVED this series, as soon as I started reading I was hooked. I read both books within 2 days - I couldn't put them down. I loved the storyline of these books, different from any of the others I read. Protect me was Jennifer's Debut book and the worry of a second book especially in a series is it wont be as good as the first. Jennifer has nothing to worry about in that both books are Amazing. For me the second book left off where the first one finished I was literally trying to get to the next page but didn't want the book to end.
The character's are written really well. I loved all of them the flow and pace was right. I especially liked The bodyguards! I used most of my emotions with this book. This book is Fantastic, you need to add both these books to your "TBR" list NOW.
Girls, we have Two- YES Two new Hot, Alpha Book Boyfriends on the block in the form of Ryan and Jace. This needs to come with a lockable room and earplugs because believe me you wont want to be disturbed.
Jennifer Culbreth is an Author To watch out for.
Jennifer, These books are Amazing and compelling. Thank you for allowing me to read Protect Me and Cherish Me. I cant wait to see what's next.
This book gets 5/5 Stars and 5/5 for movie moments

These are getting better, but I am in the minority it seems. I still think there are parts that are cheesy and in part that is because of how fast a lot of the characters seems to become emotionally involved in each other. I've formed attachments, but some of these feel like they happened in less than a month. I'm not saying you can't form some kind of attachment, but everyone is "brother/sister/family." And I love a great romance, but I can't always relates to how the characters react to certain situations and not just romantically. For example, Judy first reaction is to race into a situation...um, you were just shot doing exactly that...that tends to make people more cautious unless there is absolutely NO other option...and she is surrounded by strong, highly trained men...she has no excuse for some of her behavior when she has that kind of back up.
What I do like is that the story picks up with Jace and Judy, but you still get more Ryan and Abbi, and of course the other guys that make up the bodyguard team with some new additions. We were introduced to Jace and Judy in book 1. Their story began there so we don't go back, but instead move forward looking at how their lives change after Judy was shot. Things didn't end there with Trent still on the loose, and things get a bit more complicated when one of Judy's childhood friends makes an appearance. At first I was a concerned as to how the author would change the focus from Abbi to Judy as it relates to Trent, but she did manage that pretty smoothly with the introduction of Alexis. And this allowed the suspense from book 1 to continue with resolution in book 2.
So my rating is strictly based on how I struggled to relate to some parts of this book, and in parts to how they are written. Some areas are written formally, and some more casually. I am definitely a fan of a more relaxed style unless the entire book is written formally...not sure I'm explaining this correctly, but that is not to say I don't still like these characters and look forward to continuing on with some of the other guys' stories.

I was given an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I seriously loved this book, maybe even more than Protect Me, but I still enjoyed them both. Cherish Me is books 2 in The Protect Me Series by Jennifer Culbreth. Jennifer left me hanging at the end of the first book and Cherish Me flowed on nicely, except now its Judy and Jace’s story. Trent is still on the run and threatening as ever especially towards Judy and Abbi. Jace and Ryan will do everything in their power to protect their girls. A friend from Judy’s past shows up unexpectedly and her brother returns, so there is a lot that is going on in this book and its keeps you interested the whole way through.
I fell in love with the characters all over again, I like how easily I can connect with them. Judy and her witty comments and come backs, there are parts where I was literally in fits of laughter. Jennifer does not disappoint she is a fantastic writer and captivates her audience.
I highly recommend this book if you love romance, witty humor and some steamy scenes that get your heart racing. And once again beware Jennifer Loves leaving you hanging and wanting that next book right now! Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful series, I look forward to the next installment.

I was given an ARC of Cherish Me which is the second book in the Protected Love series. This book picks up where the last book left off with a cliffhanger. Judy continues to have nightmares of the night she was shot and we realize that there is still a threat lurking in the background. Jace who is in love with Judy will do anything to protect her just like Ryan tries to keep Abbi protected as experienced in the first book.
We are introduced to new characters in this book and how they are connected to Judy. Judy and Jace grew up without a family. And the bond with their friends have developed in to a family like feeling and they are excited having this kind of connection that they didn't have with their own.
The development of the characters was fantastic. We were given background information on all of them and saw them go through physical pain, emotional pain, happy times and some frightening times. The book is one that you don't want to put down. Jennifer continues the intrigue of what is going to happen next and keeps you wanting more. I thought this book was amazing yet again we are left with what will happen with the characters next. I would recommend this book but Protect Me you would need to read first to understand what has been happening.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
We met Jace and Judy in the first book of this series. I immediately loved them both. Jace is a hot ex-military man and part owner of a protection agency (bodyguard). Judy is a feisty bartender and they meet when their friends Ryan and Abbi get together. Their story starts where Protect Me leaves off.....Judy has been shot and is staying with Jace while she recovers so she is protected.
I love a book with some action and this book has a ton of it!!! I thought it was great that Judy and Jace start off as a strong, committed couple and only get closer as the book progresses. He is loving and dominate at the same time, just wants to keep her safe at all costs. Judy is strong and doesn't let him walk all over her. She is a loyal sister and friend even when she thinks her friends are wronging her and possibly putting her in danger.
Very well written, hot, action packed and sometimes very sweet, Cherish Me is a great follow up to Protect Me. Definitely a series to add to your TBR. I'm looking forward to the next one!!

We met Jace and Judy in book 1 of the Protected Love series and now it's their turn for the limelight. Judy is full of spunk and loves with all she has. Jace has been a playboy up until Judy comes and turns his world upside down. They are still reeling from the drama that happened at the end of book 1 while trying to figure this new life together out. When Judy's past collides with her present, the lines of friendship and locality become blurred. Jace pulls out every stop to protect Judy, but will he be able to and what will it mean for their future together? They have amazing passion and tons of heat!
There isn't a moment of this book that is predictable...just when you think you've figured it out, another twist hits you! I can't wait to see where Culbreth takes this series from here! I thought I knew for sure who was going to have a book after book 1, but with the addition of some characters in this book, there is hope that this will be more than a 3 book series! Gotta love the hot VIP Bodyguards! Bring on more!

I read the first book in this series and loved it, couldn't wait to read this one. I received it in my email the other week.
Judy is recovering from her gunshot wound, Jace is super sweet, super sexy. There is so much I want to say about the story, but I don't like giving out spoilers too much, I think it does actually take away the enjoyment of the read. I have to say this though, it kept me on the edge of my seat.
One thing that stood out was when Judy found out his age. I wasn't sure what she was going to do.
The suspense in this read was awesome. The first book was brilliant, I didn't think Jennifer Culbreth could top that, but I can see her growth with this book. Its a best seller from me!
At the end is says "TO BE CONTINUED" awwwwww I can't wait to get it. So Jennifer, when or if you read this, hurry up! :) I really mean, I loved it. I just wish I had the 3rd book to start right away.

I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review. This book starts up slightly after protect me. Abby and Ryan are in this book as well but it is more centered around Jace & Judy. Judy is still recovering from being shot in protect me and is still having lingering fear that someone will come and get her again. Jace is doing everything he can to protect Judy not only from anything that might hurt her outside the apartment but from her own fears from time to time. Judy does try to show Jace that everything is ok and that they can go back to something more normal than the 24 / 7 watch he has on her but that is before the threats start coming in. As soon as Jace hears of this both him and Ryan agree no one will get close enough to touch their women again. This is a great story about what happens after you almost loose your life. I would recommend this book to anyone it is an amazing read I could not put it down.

I was provided with an ARC for Cherish Me inexchange for an honest review. And what can I say? I loved it!
This is book two in the Protected Love series and picks up where book one ended with a cliffhanger,
which is why I highly recommend to read book one first if you haven't already ;)
You just have to love both Jace and Judy who both have been let down as children
and slowly begin to build a family themselves, including Abbi and Ryan who we met in the first book.
In book one Judy was shot and in book two she still suffers from the nightmares that followed
- and the threat continues...
Oh, yeah, and not forget to mention the sizzling hot scenes between Jace and Judy
Jennifer creates an intense and enthralling (and partially sizzling hot!) story you don't want to put down.
While you receive some answers to
existing questions, book two will leave you with twice as much and you will be impatiently waiting for the third book.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
LOVED THIS!
I got to know Jace and Judy in Protect Me and fell in love with them! Judy had so much spunk and you got to know her better throughout this book as well. Learning more of her back story made her even more amazing. Jace is such a hottie and he has such an air of hard-ass with a touch of sweetness. When you really get to know him he is the biggest softie when it comes to Judy it brought tears to the eye.
This book had as many twists and turns as the first one did I couldn’t put it down. The character development was great and the descriptions were fantastic they weren’t over the top or lacking. I honestly can’t wait to see what else Jennifer has in store for us either with this series or with another. She is an up and coming for sure. I would recommend this to anyone 5/5!

Good second book in the series. I enjoyed Judy & Jace's story and I loved Jace's passion for loving and protecting Judy. The author gave us some insight into Jace's childhood and his time on active duty and that added to understanding his character. We also got to see a bit into Judy's background with the arrival of a childhood friend. I enjoyed the intertwining of Ryan and Abbi, even though this was Judy and Jace's story. There was plenty of drama and suspense to keep the reader interested. Looking forward to the next book.
I think the grammatical errors improved in book 2 but there were instances where I had to reread for understanding. That takes away from the enjoyment factor for me personally. I think Jennifer is talented and her stories were a nice change for me in that they were romance with suspense.

An awesome addition to the series, the story of Jace and Judy continues to keep you wanting more. Judy is a very stubborn, full of fire and passion character and Jace is a great match for her. Full of action, jealousy and steamy romance, I wasn't able to put it down. The characters are consistant with book one so much that you don't know you have changed books, just shifted POV, you get lots of current information and happenings from Abbi and Ryan while not taking any spotlight away from Jace and Judy. Although a brief character, Alexis left quite a wake with her presents and I was happy to see some justice played out for the bad guy Trent.
The introduction of Mason was a pleasant suprise and I hope to hear more about his story as well as Gabe in the future. Looking forward to the next book!

Cherish Me takes place after Protect Me and follows Judy and Jace's relationship. I was happy about that because I wanted to get to know Jace better after Protect Me. While Protect Me will always be my first love of this series, this book was great as well. This was a breath of fresh air as far as romance novels go. While things happened in the story, Jace and Judy's relationship stayed wrong. Jace treated Judy as his equal and I love that. This book had it all as far as I was concerned: action, romance, and even a bit of humor.
I suggest this book to all of those who enjoy romance and especially those who loved Protect Me like I did.

I was given an ARC of Cherish Me in exchange for an honest review...so here is my honest opinion!
Cherish Me is the 2nd book by Jennifer Culbreth and the 2nd in the Protect Love Series and it does not disappoint. Jennifer knows how to write characters that you'll love! We meet Jace and Judy in Protect Me, but in Cherish Me, we get more of their story. After Judy was shot, Jace realized how important she was to him and the only thing he wants to do is to protect her from the nightmares that plague her following the shooting. Jennifer has another hit on her hands and she is easily one of the best new authors of 2013! 4+ stars!

This book is about jace and Judy. We met them in book 1. These books are good and they are a fast read specially if you are a fan of this series.
I liked the story it's very well written and I love how you fall for the characters.
These two are both character that have their own issues. They learn to work them out and personally I loved them as a couple.... I love the action and the hot stuff...
Jennifer knows how to write a hot dominant man!

I have stalked the author and Amazon for the release of this book and OH, I am happy that I did. Jace and Judy was my babies and he loved her with ALL he had and some. From two who had battered souls and no one to call family it was great to see them come together and form their own from close friends and a tragic situation. Although I still do not know the reason behind the threats and the purpose I guess I will find out in book three which I hope is Mason story. Great book
