 .................................... The Blurb  ....................................

For a moment, Darcy almost convinced herself the last twelve hours didn’t happen. As image after image hits her, the sinking realization of all she’s lost overwhelms her and all she can think of is to run. Run far away where her shame can’t find her, and most of all, where she’ll never have to see the look of blame in Mason’s eyes. Feeling like a complete failure, she scrambles to make plans. But the voice of her mate-to-be penetrates her frantic thoughts, asking for the chance to show her just how much she is loved.
It hurts Mason deeply to hear Darcy’s thoughts, knowing the events of the previous night have completely rattled her. Grieving over the death of his beloved sister Jasmine, Mason knows he has to act fast. Darcy is all he’s ever wanted and the idea of life without her is unacceptable. Armed with his unswerving love and wolfish charm, he sets out to remind Darcy just how valuable she is and why there is no one else for him but her.
Can Darcy let go of the shame of failure consuming her or will Mason convince her that after all is said and done, she truly is… Cherished?

 .................................... My Thoughts  ....................................

In Short
- I really like Belinda's writing and how well it all flows
- Love how Belinda writes the human and wolf as two separate people
- The main male character, Mason, is a guy you will straight away fall for
- This book wasn't what I was expecting.
- There isn't much action but plenty of getting to know the characters more.
- It went in a direction that I wasn't expecting

In Long

Without Mercy, the first in this series, was a very short book at 24 pages but one that I quickly become engrossed in. Belinda's writing quickly grabs your attention and makes you hold on for the next word throughout the whole book!
Cherished wasn't as tense and took a direction which I wasn't expecting which has lead to me having mixed feelings about Cherished. In one way I was disappointed, not much happened and nothing that I was expecting. I kind of wanted more and expected it to have more action but instead got many 'bonding' scenes between the two main characters which I felt didn't really add much to the book. But as I said, disappointment was only one of the feelings, I enjoyed the romance and the very cute scenes. I also enjoyed getting to know the two main characters more which I wasn't able to do in the first book due to the very fast paced storyline. I was almost glad for the slower storyline as the more I got to know the main characters the more I liked them, I really feel Belinda has made two characters with their own strong traits. 
I really enjoy Belinda's little things she added throughout the book which made it stand out. For example in this book the wolf and human are almost separate 'people' and I really liked these added things. 

Final Thoughts

Belinda is a great author who is very talented. I look forward to her books in the future. Her writing is one which really grabs you in and continues to keep your attention.
