We have seen Jessica in other books mentioned now its her turn and story!!!

Jessica had enough being abused by her boyfriend so when she found out she was pregnant she didn't want her child to grow up in that environment, so she ran away to Texas and was protected by the MC since they dislike when woman are abused. Already 7ish close to 8 months pregnant shes been spending alot of time with Chase he is smitten and already falling for sassy Jess and is there for her every step of the way. From building baby items to massaging her feet, im glad she didn't back away or play games she knew she felt something for this man who was kind and protective of her and her unborn baby.

But drama found her after she gave birth her ex wants to kidnap her baby and kill her, bless Chase was never far and made sure the ex never got his family. Beside that drama Jess finds her long lost sister River and her mother who was also in a absuive relationship. So maybe more MC guys getting happy endings since 2 guys were looking at them ;)

Mavericks has his eye on mama Bell.. and a Grimm member has his eye on River.. idk who but i would love to see Rivers story.

I was also blessed the writer tone down the alpha woman 😊😊😊

Low angst, No ow drama slight om drama (her ex), no cheating, secondary charas, Drama, no virgins or manwhore

Recommend- yes

I've been waiting for Jessica and Chase's story For-ev-er! I absolutely adored her quirky sense of humor and his calm acceptance of who she is right from the first story of the Forever series! I just knew that their story would be fabulous! And I was totally right! As soon as it hit my kindle, I started reading, and didn't put it down until I was finished!

Jessica grew up alone, a product of the foster care system. She longed for love and family. And she thought she'd found it, until the one that was supposed to love her back turned out not to be who she thought he was. Running for her life, and that of her unborn child, she found herself in Texas, with more family than she ever could have imagined!

Chase grew up in a happy home, served his country proudly, and then came back home to Texas. He had a good life, but one look at Jessica showed him exactly what he was missing! And he was determined to make her his, no matter how long it took, or what he had to do to convince her!

This book tells us why Jessica is the way she is, and gives us the background into Jessica and Chase's relationship. It also gives us some surprising glimpses into the lives of some of our favorite characters! This book is full of family, love, drama, and danger. It was everything I could have hoped for in their story, and so much more!!!!!

Cherishing His Forever

Nothing like a man or woman, that can step forward and love a child the same way they would their very own. Chase is that guy.

Can’t get enough of this series and these characters! After leaving an abusive relationship, Jessica is definitely focused on making sure her baby and she are safe and stumbles upon a job affiliated with a local MC who ensures her they will help any way possible. Through the MC she meets Chase, who makes his feelings known through constant flirting even though Jessica doesn’t believe him, and over time he wears her down right as she’s about to give birth. This storyline was jam packed with action and suspense in multiple ways that I didn’t even see coming! Something I continuously love about LeAnn’s storylines are that things are never just as they initially seem, and in Jessica’s situation that continues to be true. Per usual, I love LeAnn’s style of writing and the attention to detail she provides in her stories making sure that all questions are answered for those characters. In addition, I loved in this storyline how the MC and the characters from this series come together to help and protect Jessica and her child. The combination of all the elements in this story made for a great book and I can’t wait for the next one in this series (or really any book from LeAnn)!

Cherishing His Forever by Leann Ashers is book 3 in Forever series. This has characters from her previous series interwoven in with her story which could be read as a standalone. This is Chase and Jessica's story and what a story it is!!!
Jessica has had a sad life which is one where she just wants to be loved and where she wants a family who cares and loves her. Because of the lack of that sends her into the wrong arms and into danger. That danger sends her running all the way to Texas to protect herself and her unborn baby. That's where the story really gets going...because that's where Chase comes in and the sparks fly. Chase immediately makes it known where his feelings are (she doesn't believe him) but he doesn't falter. The insta-love romance is just perfect but there is danger lurking and we get the drama and action and MC Awesomeness along with the feels and steam that makes this story just so fascinating and fabulous!! I don't want to give any spoilers away so know you will get a great read with heart and heat. I can't wait for more in this series. Chase and Jessica's love story is just beautiful with the feels and heat and HEA that makes this a perfect fit for anyone who wants to read an MC story.


My Rating: 4.8 stars ********

5 Stars!

LeAnn writes the sone of BEST safe romances that I've ever read/encountered and this series, a personal favorite, continues to get better with each new release. It's been quite a while but soooo very worth the wait.

Cherishing His Forever is the third standalone in the Forever series, telling Jessica and Chase's swoony, sexy, suspenseful, complicated journey and I couldn't get through the pages fast enough... ALL. THE. FEELS.

From the moment these two met, it was insta-sparks and an insta-connection. But it's a wee bit complicated. You see she's pregnant and running from a crazy ex. But Chase wants Jessica and her baby to be his... forever. He'll stop at NOTHING to protect what's his.

Edge of your seat moments and others that'll leave you fanning yourself from all the heat. Unputdownable. Unforgettable. Unstoppable in all the best ways.

LeAnn, never let this series end please 😉😄 and never ever stop.

I highly recommend this book.

Cherishing His Forver is the third book in the Forever series and the first book by this author that I have read. I had a hard time putting this book down, it was that good! I loved following Chase and Jessica's story, and meeting all the other characters. I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.
December 10, 2019



This was my first read by LeAnn Ashers and in my typical fashion I picked a book in a middle of a series. Thankfully this one was easy to follow as the book can be read standalone but there are interconnecting characters from a few of her series, specifically Devil Souls MC and ForeverI do love my men super protective, sweet, and loaded especially when there is a sassy women around who are knocked up.

What didn't really work for me is how insta the story turned out to be. Although there was much to unpack in the dramatic lives of Jessica and Chase.

Jessica is really unlucky pregnant woman, what with being an orphan and on the run from her psycho mafia ex-baby daddy. While seeking sanctuary she has a chance to meet our alpha. Chase whose protective instincts are kicked into the highest gear once Jessica's past catches up to her in more ways than one. When I said there is much to unpack in their dramatic lives I was not even a little bit joking. Thankfully Chase is an ex-Navy SEAL, which he likes to remind himself about very often through the book, was up to the task of protecting her and everyone she cares about.

It's really a sweet story and there are many secondary characters with some very interesting and unconventional stories that are dying to be told. 

While I enjoyed the book immensely the book did feel rushed and sprung major plots suddenly without much segue. There was also quite a few scenes that went into way too much descriptive detail than wasn't warranted and in the end started to feel like filler. However, I do recommend sticking around for great character chemistry and just a super sweet romance with a side of danger.

Jessica finds out she is pregnant and knows she cannot stay with the father, he is abusive and this will just be one more thing that will set him off and she fears what will happen to the baby she is carrying. She runs away and finds herself with a couple of new friends and a safe place to raise her baby. She doesn't expect to catch Chase's eye but she does, pregnant and all.

Chase knows there is something special about Jessica. The former Navy Seal knows that she is hiding details about himself but is willing to wait until she is ready to share with him. However when the past she is running from shows up in town, he knows he will do everything to protect her. Can he keep her safe or will the man hunting her down stand in his way?

This was really good. I need to go back and read the second book but enjoyed the chemistry between Jessica and Chase. I enjoyed how the whole story unfolded and hope that there is another book coming soon.

Leann Ashers books are like gummy bears to me! I love them so much and binge on them if they are in the house till they are gone. That is exactly what happened with Cherishing His Forever. It landed on my e-reader and I dove in. Jessica's life didn't start out great and she ended up in an abusive relationship. Alone, pregnant and scared, she escapes to Texas and finds a home. When she meets Chase, she can't imagine that a gorgeous man like him isn't a huge player. Besides what guy wants a woman pregnant with another man's baby. Chase wants Jessica from the moment they meet. Not just for a fling but forever. He slowly earns her trust and it was so sweet and beautiful, I melted. I just loved this couple together! So fun and adorable, with a few surprises, Cherishing His Forever was a sweet treat. Can't wait for more!

I stepped into this series with this instalment and I wasn’t disappointed. Leanna Asher pulled me in from the first page with a hint of the danger our heroine is in with her current mafia connected boyfriend/ baby daddy and I loved that! The tease of what could come later was a great way to jump into the series. Quickly next you meet Chase and you can feel his connection to Jessica right away. The insta love of it all was a bit forced but not a story ruiner for me. I don’t mind a bit of insta love as long as the characters have the chemistry like these two did. Cherishing His Forever is just a sweet love story with a bit of danger and some pretty great characters, I would recommend a read to any one looking for a new author and a happy ending.

Cherishing His Forever is all about second chances at life, love and family. Jessica and Chase are characters that will steal your heart, make you smile and at times have you on the edge of your seat as they fight for their future. An action packed romance filled with angst, drama and so much passion. Chase will make you swoon as this ex navy seal does everything to cherish the woman that is his forever. Jessica is a woman that will demonstrate inspiring strength that will have cheering her on as she finally gets the happiness that she deserves. If forever love is a must for you, then this is a story you won’t want to miss out on.

I loved this story so much. I think that Jessica was so freaking brave and strong to get away from her abuser. And through everything she has been through she just kept her humor and her zest for life. And even though she didn't want to give into Chase, she knew that he was the right one for her. And he proved it by being there for her and for helping her with her ex
Chase man he was the my type of alpha. He protected her and took care of her and just gave her the space and time she needed to get use to him and to give in to their love.

Awesome story 😊❤❤

Jessica has grown up in the foster care system. She thought she found the right guy but he turned out to be the wrong one for her. Now she's pregnant and on the run in Texas where she meets family and Chase. I loved Chase, he grew up in a happy home and was in the military. Now that he's out he thought he had it all until he met Jessica. He knows he will do whatever necessary to keep Jessica and her child in his life. A feel good story with plenty of action and steam.

Always very sweet and sexy. Men who are true blue and adore their woman. Lots of eye-rolling coincidences but you just have to go with it. Never any cheating. No ow/om drama. Just a creepy ex who gets his own back.

I have read numerous books by this author and I always enjoy reading them. This one is now different. I was so waiting for this book as soon as I knew it was coming. The pace was good and this book was cute. I loved it. This is book three in the Forever series and can be read as a standalone. It also crosses over with the Grimm Sinners MC. The pace is quick and it is an easy read.

Jessica has been on her own since she was little. She was in foster care and went through the system. She is such a good person with a huge heart. She is in a bad relationship and when he crosses a line she knows it is time to leave and leave for good. It isn’t just her anymore.

Chase is a great guy with an awesome family and a great group of friends. He has a huge heart and has an instant attraction. He is generous and so kind-hearted.

Just when everything is falling into place her past shows up with a vengeance while she is having her baby. Chase is there for her every step of the way and she doesn’t get why he would want her. They have chemistry about them and it fun to read. She is sweet and sassy rolled up into the perfect package for him. He is an alpha that is smitten with the baby as well. He treats that boy like his own.

His friends are great and we get to see the crossover from the MC as well considering his brother is a member. When it hits the fan they all band together because she is family. They are just a close-knit bunch. Even the woman. Chase and his Dads. I love that. This book encompasses everything. There is love, friendship, family, long lost family, lust, and passion. Overall just a good read.

Cherishing HIs forever was a great 5 star read and book three in the Forever series. I was pulled in right from the beginning.

We start with a pregnant Jessica fleeing from her abusive boyfriends house. We jump ahead a few months and Jessica has found a great group of people. She has her own apartment and job.

Chase is super nice and has the hots for Jessica. He helps her every chance he gets. When Jessica ends up going into labor, Chase is right there for her the whole time. Things take a scary twist when Jessica’s ex shows up in her hospital room. Chase is able to take care of him temporarily but he is still considered to be dangerous, so he moves Jessica into his home.

Will Chase be able to keep Jessican and the baby safe? Will they connect and have a HEA?

Overall I really enjoyed this book and series. It was great seeing all of the secondary characters, they added a great element to the story. Such a great family. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

Love it

This is the first in the forever series I’ve read (not sure how I missed the other two since I’ve read all her other books at least once).
Chase and Jessica meet after Jessica runs away from her abusive partner Lee who is linked with the mafia, she had been part of the foster system and Lee had taken advantage of her vulnerability after leaving at 18, but now she knows she’s pregnant she needs to escape to protect her and her unborn baby, she gets help and escapes, Chase finds himself falling for Jessica the first time he meets her but knows he has to go gently as she is skitterish, when Lee finds her after she has just given birth in the hospital chase helps her, this is a love story with a couple of twists and turns, there are surprises and a hea.

There is mention of domestic abuse but it’s not detailed, you are just made aware the person is in or has been in an abusive relationship and is healing, there is a lot going on with some sub stories happening in it as well which hopefully these characters will get their own books so we can explore what is happening and links with both the Grim sinners mc and devils souls mc (both written by this author) but it is not necessary to read these before you read this as it can be read as a stand-alone.

Awesome

Great book and yes your writing style changed but it still flows. I wanted to share with you that mostly I cannot tell you how much I appreciated the preface you shared so we would know of the changes. Years ago I tried to read a book and the author spelled a well known west coast city incorrectly. Nowhere did she say why she spelled it incorrectly. I checked front and back. When I said that I couldn’t get over how many times she used an incorrectly spelled city, so I have no idea if the book is any good at all. I’m not the only reader in the world that can’t handle major word issues. Anyway, the author got totally pissed at me and that IS how it’s spelled and I’m like bullshit. I told her if she had just written a small paragraph that this is how she is spelling it for whatever reason, I would’ve thought, cool, and read the damn book. So, you can see how much I appreciated your preface regarding the changes, because I understood them and the book just flowed. Thank you.

It took me about 9 months to finish this book so that kinda says it all. It just lost me around the 65% mark and I just skimmed it so I could finish it. Oddly enough I'm somewhat intrigued by Bell's story but I'm just not feeling this author's writing style anymore. I used to be able to overlook it but I can't anymore, it's so choppy and stilted. If we get Bell's story in the future I might give it a try but I'm on the fence.

First of: i really like the story... but what really bothered me about this book is the inconsistencies with the other books from this series... the first part of the book overlaps with the emd of the second, something i usually like. However its not the same! The birthing scene for example is totally different in book 3 than it is in book 2.

So except for the editing/inconsistencies i really like the storyline and how everything is interconnected with other books written by LeAnn ashers.

connecting the dots

This storyline has a lot of links to many characters from the other series’s and their stories so it’s like connecting the dots. It’s really well crafted to link so many books together but still give the main characters their own story to enjoy. The characters themselves are interesting and dynamic, people you would love to befriend. I think anyone would love this as it is a great romance with amazing leads.
