More About the Author

The writing bug bit hard and early for Bennettsville, SC native Cheris F. Hodges. As a student at Marlboro County High School, Hodges knew she was going to be a writer. She joined the school's newspaper staff and decided journalism was the way to go.
Upon graduating in 1995, she enrolled at Johnson C. Smith University and majored in journalism, all the while working on her novels.
While working at the Covington News in Covington, Georgia, Hodges wrote and self-published 'Searching For Paradise.'
After completing her first novel, she tried, unsuccessfully to find an agent and publisher. Determined to share her work with the world, Hodges used the internet publisher Iuniverse.com.
A year later, she completed her first romance novel, 'Revelations.' This time, she found an agent and a publisher that saw the value of her work.
Maryland agent Sha-Shana Crichton signed Hodges to her agency and with in months, she had a two-book deal with Genesis Press Inc.
'Revelations' went on to become one of Genesis's best sellers. Fans and critics alike lauded her second Genesis Press novel, 'Cautious Heart'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finding Love, April 9, 2005

This review is from: A Love of Her Own (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)

Dana Ellison is engaged to a man she can't stand and works on a job she loathes. So how did she end up in such a miserable state? Her overbearing parents. Her father has molded her in his own image. He retired a well- respected educator in the school system in which Dana now teaches. Her mother has single handedly picked her fiance and begins to plan Dana's wedding. Dana has always gone along with her parents' wishes without much of a fight. Until she meets landscaper Chris Johnson who shows interest in her, her dreams and what she wants out of life, he beleives in Dana when noone else does. Her family does not approve and a strain is placed on their relationship.

Cheris F. Hodges jumps right into the action of the story. Ms. Hodges provoked my emotions as I found myself wanting to defend Dana's right to be her own woman. Dana's conflict of being torn between the love of a man and her family played out nicely and kept my interest. The romantic scenes were hot, steamy and exciting. A LOVE OF HER OWN is a well chosen title, it describes the main characters struggle perfectly.

3.0 out of 5 stars The hero deserves a medal, July 25, 2008

Denny "Den" (London,UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Love of Her Own (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)

Ok it took me a while to like the heroine in the story she came across as an immature wimp. However there are some parents that are so domineering that no matter how old you are they make your knees knock. The hero Chris, not college educated works with his hands, falls in love with a middle class teacher from a family of teachers. Having lived in her parents footsteps she decides to live her life for herself at 29 years old. She dumps her parents hand picked fiance Andre, quits her parents handpicked job and finds true love and the career of her dreams as a caterer. Nice story but I was more interested in the romance between the secondary characters, hope they have their own book.

This is my first book by this author,im glad i took a chance to try her book.Its an easy flow,relatible book and detailed scenes.The conflict with the main character's parents was fustrating and maddening because you felt the fustration that she faced,she was beating a dead horse talking with her parents,it became very easy to resent her parents for her while reading this book.The love scenes were hot and good,this book will keep you engaged!Very good read.
