CHERISHED brings the reader two wonderful stories by two great authors. Both of these stories shine and pull readers into their world and do not let go until the very end.

In EXILED Maya Banks brings us Talia and her Prince. Alexander helped Talia when she was younger and now he is calling in his due and Talia is his payment. With his world in turmoil Alexander finds refuge on an island and calls Talia to him. She is to be his for the next few months and be ready and willing to do whatever he wants sexually which includes sharing her with his close friends who have come with him to the island. I am a big fan of Maya Banks and her writing style and enjoyed this story. Talia is a young woman who must come to terms with her sexuality as well as her feelings. We see the men fall for Talia as the story progresses and when she is dismissed and sent home I wondered just how Alexander would fix everything. This was not only a hot read but also an emotional ride. Each of the men are brought to life just as much as Talia and Alexander are and I hope that we get to visit them again to see just where life takes them. Exiled is a beautiful romance that takes readers on a great ride.

SWAY by Lauren Dane introduces us to two wonderful people. Daisy and Levi are a great couple even if it does take Levi some time to realize it. Only he can decide if their love is worth it or if he is willing to give up on his happy ever after. This is one hot and sexy read. I loved watching their relationship take shape as the story goes on. As well as the age difference these two are as opposites as anyone can be but their attraction overcomes that and so much more. I love Daisy and they way she stands up for herself and their relationship. Not only does Daisy make an impression but her friends also do as well making Sway a good read.

I enjoyed this visit to these wonderful characters and worlds that these two authors brought to us. Not only did I get to enjoy some hot reads but also some beautiful romances as well.
