Cherished

A Masters and Mercenaries Novella

By: Lexi Blake

Narrated by: Ryan West

A doctor living a double life.

By day, Dr. Will Daley is one of Dallas's most eligible bachelors, but every night he dons his leathers as one of Sanctum's most desired Doms. He's sworn off looking for a long-term relationship but is captivated by the club's newest member, Bridget Slaten, even though they couldn't be more different. She comes from a world of privilege and he was raised in poverty. When he discovers she needs a date to her sister's wedding, he makes certain he's literally the only man for the job.

A woman no longer willing to live in the shadows.

For most of her life, Bridget hid herself behind her laptop. She can write romantic, sensuous lives for her characters but not herself. Having Master Will as her date to the wedding is a thrilling prospect but he has a special request. He wants her to accept two weeks of his services as a Dom, a lover, and expert in BDSM, and that is an offer she can't refuse. Their sexual chemistry is undeniable, but it's in the tender moments that Bridget realizes she's falling for a man who might never trust her with his heart.

A love strong enough to cherish.

Together in paradise for a week, Will realizes he can't imagine his life without Bridget. As the wedding approaches, ghosts from their past come back to haunt them and threaten to ruin the peace they've found. With everything exposed, they will have to risk it all to claim the love that can set them both free.

Great book!!!

This was a great novella. Bridget was a woman that was constantly harassed by her family, so she sought control in her life. Will was a man that raised his sisters so he was accustomed to running everything. Their relationship was fill of disputes until they learned how to recognize benefits that both provided. The ending with her father was epic!!! Loved how her sister and her husband were involved. The narration was great too. Although it was 1 actor, he made it easy to decipher 1 character from another

Another great listen!!

This was another great listen! I'm really enjoying the series. Big Tag is hilarious! I'm on to the next book!

Narration Was Great

I am always ready for a Ryan West narration. Ian did his part with humor and sarcasm as usual. I didn't realize Bridget's sister Amy was Amy Slaten until almost the end of the book. Since I read this out of order, that could be why.

I found Bridget to be extremely irritating. Both she wand Will built walls and were closed off. I had to give Will credit that he was honest about what he thought he could offer. The manipulation with the other Doms at the beginning didn't bother me as much as him telling Bridget what he couldn't do, but she still moved forward. I don't know if Bridget ever stopped being irritating to me. I did like the last few chapters in Hawaii.

If the whole D/s, BDSM aspect offends you, then I would suggest you take a pass on this book.

Great!

Great! I really love this story. I am so glad Bridgett and Will go their happy everafter.
