Cherish

Cherish #3

by Olivia Ryann

This dark and twisted tale of ownership will make your blood run hot. Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon Bestseller Vivian Wood writes dark romance as OLIVIA RYANN.

Something has shifted and changed in me.
I have left Katherine behind, and stepped fully into the blossom of Fiore.
But while I am undergoing that transformation, Monster too senses a sea change within.
He’s violent and moody and… he seems to care about what happens to me.
It is unthinkable, but maybe the fragile bond between us has grown into something more.
Something dark and glittering and provocative. Profound and emotional.
I know that this wasn’t his plan. I know that he hates that I might have power over him.
But I hope that the delicate thing between us grows.
Even if I don’t know where it might lead either of us.

What a way to end this series, or is it? I loved loved the book - I hope you do too

ღ We find our self-right where we left off in that crazy cliff hanger in Covet that Ms Ryanna left at…. Thank god, she started this book right where she left us!

➳ Arsen Aetós, has change so much in this final book. Will it be in time to save himself & Fiore?

➳Katherine Carolla is without doubt has fallen into the role of Fiore

➳ I love the Lil twist & turns... it was thrilling watching these two together. You always know when you read a Mafia book there will be murder & deception- & of course some very dark parts… and plenty of violence…. You also know there will always be some type of test of loyalty

➳ So no worries Ms Ryann has accomplished all this with such elegance & grace - and for good measure she even throw in some very steamy scenes


💕 I really enjoyed reading Katherine & Arsen or should I say Fiore & Monster? I am excited to see what Olivia Ryann will writes next.

➳ I would love to read more about the other two brother in Arsen Aetós life (Damen & Dryas)

➳ Mostly for now I want to know more about Dryas… Ms Ryanna left us with a somewhat cliffhanger…. So I can't wait to read his book

A good finale to Monster & Fiore’s story.

A good finale to Arsen & Fiore’s story. A little less bloody/violent than the other two stories, but trust there is still blood and violence. Their relationship just has some completeness and finally a balance. This series starts off with a not so good relationship, but in the end it works for them. Plus more happens with Arden’s brothers. Can’t wait to see what comes next with Dryas’ story!

5.5 CAPTIVATING STARS!!





I think I have found myself a new favorite list author! I loved this series! And this final book in the story of Arsen and Fiore was the perfect conclusion to their wild ride. Although I could stand to read more about their happy ever after :)

"I want her love. I want her company. I want all her time; with her smiles, and her tears. I want to always look over and find her right there, right by my side."

Cherish starts up right where we left off in Covet, and I have to say, THANK GOD all these books were out when I started reading because GOOD LORD MRS. RYANN Do you know how to right a damn cliffhanger!!

In this book we get to see a lot more closeness between Arsen and Fiore, We get to learn a little more about the brothers and some twists and turns to keep it interesting. There is passion and mystery and being a dark Mafia book obviously a little bloody violence. I love how Olivia can take an idea I have read through many different books (Mafia princess being kidnapped then falling in love with her captor) and make it unique. You spend a lot of time through this series anxiously awaiting the next move.
It is so interesting to me how, when reading this genre, the unforgivable actions taken by some characters, becomes forgivable. Arsen does things throughout this series that are just deplorable, but Fiore just forgives him even though he never really apologizes at all for what he has put her through. Not to mention, Damen and what he did in the earlier part of the series. But, here is am, loving the happy ending and salivating for a Damen book!

The book ends with a final chapter from Dryas's POV and now I can't wait to read his story! Looking forward to it Mrs. Ryann!!!

Wow! Again where do I begin? This final book in Monster/Aeron and Fiore/Katherine's story was so captivating. From the beginning it pulls you in and has you wondering where the story will go. The bond these to have only gets stronger. It has Monster realizing that he is completely in love with Fiore and will do anything he has to do to keep her safe and by his side. Even if that means making so tough choices. Fiore has loved Monster for quite some time and can only hope he feels the same way. She is finally able to realize that he loves her and will do anything to protect her. Their story will keep you on the edge of your seat. You will find yourself tearing up for them and smiling for them and at times yelling at what happens. Just when you think you know what might happen and who is after them you find yourself with your chin on the floor. Areon may have been given the nickname Monster but who really is the Monster? Damon and Dryas maybe Aeron's brothers but they really have the bond you would think they should with all they went through in the past? I can not wait to learn what drives them and find out what kind of men they are. I can't say enough about Monster and Fiore and what a wonderful tory Ms Ryann has written about them! Definitely one of my new favorite series!

Things had seemed complicated from the start, but it continues to be a series I cannot put down. I loved getting additional insight into Monster and Fiore's story and am excited to see what comes next. A dark romance for sure, but also an unforgettable one too. Very well written and enjoyable. Don't miss this. This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.

OMG This Series♡Need More Arsen and Fiore♡Who's next?Loved,this

[Amy Dickinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well, if you’ve been reading any of my prior reviews, you know how anxious I was for this book. Cherish is the fourth and final book in the Arsen and Fiore story. The third book left us on a cliffhanger: did Fiore shoot Tony or did she shoot Arsen?

From the outset of the story, that question is answered quickly. And, as this is the final book, you can imagine the answer. However, the question for this book revolves around love. Can Fiore and Arsen find love given the beginning of their story? Will Fiore ever see “Monster” as something more than that, a sociopathic monster? To be honest, I don’t want to even give you a little bit of the story. I’d rather you read the final book to find out the answer.

I loved this series. Even though, for me, it started out incomplete with the novella, Ryann built Arsen and Fiore’s story in a way that seemed believable for a dark romance. I will say that Arsen’s character surprises me in this book. Yes, Fiore has changed quite a bit from the 1st book in the series. She has gone from acting timid and naive to finding her strength. For me, Arsen is the true interest of the series. He goes through the biggest change, one that might make some people struggle with in the end.

As she loves to do, Olivia Ryann leaves us with a tantalizing tidbit at the end of the book. We now know we are getting Dryas’s story. I’m hoping we will see more Arsen and Fiore in it since it will be hard to let them go. I’m also ready for the rest of Damen’s story, introduced in Ryann’s Cards of Love book.

If dark romance is your thing, the type of romance that gets your heart pumping and panties wet, then you should read this series, especially this book, Cherish. It enslaves you from the start and sets you free in the end.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Amanda McCalip · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy page turner!! I can't believe that this is the last book in the series! This series has been absolutely amazing. Dark, twisted, passionate, suspenseful, and riveting! Our lovely Olivia Ryann has brought a new twist to this darker world and I have loved reading every single page of it!

Arsen aka Monster and Katherine aka Fiore have had quite the journey since the first book and there have been so many moments where I not only cringed, but swooned. Our Monster is as evil as they come, but in a good way. Fiore is left with an impossible choice at the end of the last book which leads us directly into the first scene of this book. I wasn't all that shocked with her decision and I think she made a smart one.

Monster fights his feelings for Fiore at every turn, but when he must fight for both of them he does so without question and they come together as one. We see more of Monsters brothers in this book and their interactions leave me questioning what will happen in their future books still to come. As of right now I hate Dryas with a passion and wish to see him get whats coming to him. When you read the book you'll understand more of why I feel this way.

This series was a page turner and a scorcher. I love that I took this journey into the darker side and I can't wait to see what the other brothers bring to us in the future. If you're stumbling upon this review before reading the other books, grab that first book and get reading! You'll be glad that you did! Amazing read!

[Kari Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fourth and final book in the Cherish series and they must be read in order. The suspense and twists will keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering if they will ever find their happy ever after.

Both Monster and Fiore have changed so much since we first met them. Fiore’s strength shines through and she will do anything to protect Monster and their relationship. We realize that there is much more to Monster than we thought and the effect that Fiore has on him is inspiring.

Dark and twisty this story takes you on a journey you don’t want to miss. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

[E.M. Courier · Rating 5 out of 5]

I feel like I’ve waited forever for this book to come out. I am in love with Arsen and Fiore’s story and I cried towards the end when Arsen was stabbed by his brother—I thought for sure he was dead and I was quick to mourn him. To my utter joy he was alive and able to be with his Fiore and their unborn baby. I followed these two for three books and they have grown amazingly, their story tragic and beautiful and bloomed into a really heartfelt relationship. It was interesting to see more of Arsen’s brothers and I’m so beyond excited for Dryas to have his own story!! Will he revenge his ex-love and will he ever find out Arsen is actually alive? I’m so excited to continue to read about their world but I haven’t had enough! Amazing book! This series is so worth the read. The plot line, the complex characters, the romance/smut... FIVE STARS!

Wow! This gripping, dark suspenseful Mafia romance has secrets, lies, twists and turns—some you see coming, some you don’t! It will be hard to put this down once you get started. You NEED to READ! I wasn't expecting the turn this story took; it has quite an unexpected revelation that may leave you flabbergasted but it is jaw-dropping good! Murder, mystery, suspense, betrayal, intrigue, thrills and passion continue to keep you glued to the pages of this fascinating story. This book is not for the faint at heart, and it may be hard for you to read with all the graphic details. Olivia Ryann you did it with a storyline that is fluid as well as steamy and disturbingly dark romance with grippingly dark and twisted plots with artfully developed main characters. This is a continuation of Fiore (Katherine) and Monster (Arsen) story, which is unsettling and complicated. You will love this suspenseful romance where two people find happiness in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Did Monster pay a heavy price for love or is he capable of love? CHERISH was everything I hoped it would be— emotional, angsty, and beguiling from the beginning until the end. This book starts where Covet ended—a perfect ending to this series—you have to read the entire series, so binge read to know what is going on, you won’t regret it! There are several twists and turns with the story that makes it interesting. If you are looking for a dark suspenseful story like none other you’ve read before, this is definitely the series for you.

[Patty · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! So this was the last of the Cherish series. And what an ending it was. We finally get to know who the bullet hits and I got to say I was not surprised in the least. Fiore really doesn't surprise me. Monster and Fiore's relationship turns into something completely different that what we have come to know as Monster's ownership of Fiore. We get to see what happens the night of the ball and see who the real monster is.
This was an exciting and intense read, with several oh shit moments. I mean really can Olivia rip our hearts out in any other way. Especially when we see a different side to Monster. I really began to love him. This book is a steady paced read, but I really felt like I was hanging at the end. Classic Olivia Ryann. She writes endings that will leave you begging for more and this book is no different. Even though she wrapped up Monster and Fiore's story in a big bow for us, she left us wondering what is next and we readers cannot wait to find out in her next series.
Overall this book is an intense hot sexy read. Make sure to start with the first book and work your way down, because you will not want to miss a thing. None of these books can be read as a standalone so don't even try. There is so much in each story that leads up to that moment. A dark twisted series, Cherish is sure to make it to the top of your must reads.

Cherish is the final installment to the Cherish Series by Olivia Ryann and what a final part it is.


I was hooked from the start! After the cliffhanger ending to Covet, I had to dive right in not knowing what to expect.


Arsen has some tough decisions to make. He cares about Fiore more than he thought he would. He needs to keep her safe, doing that means he needs to leave. Can he leave everything he's ever known behind for a woman who was supposed to be revenge?


Fiore has pulled a trigger that changed her life. It's given her strength, made her more independent than ever before. She grows up a lot after that - even confessing her love for Arsen, the man who was once her captor. 


I don't want to say too much, otherwise I may spoil the series for some readers. But what I will say is this - read this series, right from the start. You will not be disappointed at all. The characters, the storyline, the twists and suspense, even the cliffhangers - I loved all of them. 

[Catherine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although I have been in a bit of a reading slump this book drew me right into the action and I couldn’t put it down until I finished. This is the final story centering around Fiore (née Katherine Corolla) and Monster (née Arsen Aétos) and the push and pull of emotions continue between them. Can love bloom from such harrowing beginnings? Will Monster push Fiore too far with his tests of loyalty? And what happens when the most unstable Aétos brother of all, Dryas, comes calling in New Orleans and threatens Fiore and her position in his brothers’ life? I think that what transpires at the beginning of this book gives Fiore her backbone and what happens at the end shows how much they have come full circle as a couple. They deserve their HEA. I just hope it can continue. We shall see when the stories about the two brothers come out. Definitely check out this story from the beginning though if you like your romance a bit more n the dark side!

[Isabelle D'A · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you're looking for an easy to follow, hot, steamy, sexy, smooth flowing read that captures your attention from the start. Congratulations my friends you've found it. The characters and scenes were realistic and believable. Twists and turns and unpredictable surprises that kept my eyes on the pages and on the edge of my seat. I followed the characters fascinated as their personalities transformed and blended. Vivid detailed descriptions were so life like and on point. The storyline was solided and well defined. Cold showers may be in order when your finished. Vivian Wood did a remarkable job bringing this read together beautifully.

[Rubi · Rating 5 out of 5]

😭😭😭 OMG, This book! Cherish is the startling conclusion to Olivia Ryann's Cherish series. Cherish starts off where Covert (Book 3) left off. As you recall it left us in a huge cliffhanger (again). Will the outcome of said cliffhanger be what you expected? 😉

As the story continues it changes. Both Arsen (Monster) and Fiore are struggling with feelings for each other that they can't completely understand. When Fiore's life is threathened, will Monster do what is right? What are these sudden revelations in his feelings for her? Now he cannot let her get hurt. Not after knowing he's completely in love with her.

This series has been amazing. Twists, turns, loopy loops, suspense, action, emotions, steam, more emotional turmoil, more loopy loop roller coasters. It puts you through the wringer and back again only to smash you again, but you enjoy it! Olivia Ryann has given us such an amazing debut series that I cannot wait for what she will bring us next.

[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well what an ending to a fantastic series this has been a breathtaking piece of writing and I have loved every hard soul searching word written, a book with so many twists and turns making your heart clench with so many different emotions. In this we see Fiore ( Katherine) and Arsen ( monster) realise that they truly love each other but it's not always as simple as that. Arsen wants to give up his mafia hold and hand it over to his brothers Dryas and Damen but the darkness and revenge they are holding things just can't go right and with what effect will it have on all of them and with what consequences??? Can't wait for Dryas and Damen's stories and is this really the end for Fiore and Arsen?? Well read and find out no spoilers from me. I was given this as an ARC in exchange for a voluntary honest review.

[Anakalia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cherish is the jaw-droppingly, insanely thrilling and heartbreakingly emotional grandiose final to Arsen and Fiore’s story.

I loved both characters more with every book in this series. In this book they gained even more depth and profiled their personalities even more.
Again I was drawn in with the first few sentences and hated to put this book out of my hand when the daily life took over. I can’t even start to describe my feelings while reading this book… I alternated between feeling crashed to pieces and being elated… between crying ugly tears and cheering on the protagonists … between being on cloud 9 and feeling destroyed…

My fingernails suffered greatly from the high leveled tension and the tricky twists… and Ms. Ryann had N.O. mercy at all! She sent me on the roller coaster ride of my life!

What a book, what a conclusion to this phenomenal series! Wow! WOW! W.O.W!!!
It is really, really hard to finally let these fantastic characters go and move on to the next character of the Aetós- Brothers.

The final book of this series was more than I ever could of expected. The story picked up right where it ended in the last book.

My emotions were in a whirlwind. The love that blossoms between Arsen and Fiore despite the way she came into his possession.

When given the opportunity to run from it all, do you take it? Or do you fight for the love that you know is strong enough to overcome the obstacles that are thrown your way?

Its a dark story, written so beautifully. A must read!

So aptly named!

Cherish,the finale book in the story of Arsen and Fiore's story is to me the epitome of romantic love and was EPIC! For a dark,captive dub con tale to conclude with such a quintessential example of intense,pure romantic love is what readers yearn for. More Olivia ! Your momnumental version of the dark romance is the prime ,with an antihero whose redemption through love is to die for!

[Lindsay Hartman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fabulous ending. I have been following the relationship of Arsen and Fiore for 4 books and was excited to see their relationship finally reach the level I wanted. I loved the way Fiore supported Arsen in this book and Arsen’s slow realization of how much Fiore had come to mean to him. There were situations that I could predict and situations that completely surprised me, but I was engrossed in the story the whole time.

[Book-Lovin-Momma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cherish is the conclusion to this series, and what an epic conclusion it was! Action-packed, with twists and surprises at every turn, Monster and Fiore's relationship morphs into something neither of them expected. I found myself watching Damen and Dryas carefully, cautiously, seeing what more troubles were coming. This book oozed with danger and dark cravings. You must start at the beginning of the series to get the full story - I love how it was so satisfying yet kept me wanting more!

[E Loprete · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book for an honest review. What a thrilling ending to a captivating series by Olivia Ryann. Another dark look into the Mafia which leads to murder and deception with lots of steamy scenes. The love that grows between Monster/Arsen and Fiore/Katherine was inevitable as each had to face trials to be together as deception is all around them. Fiore after all she had to endure by being kidnapped and sold as a slave and used by her family is now faced with a decision between her brother Tony and Monster as she fights for the man she shouldn't love. Monster fights his feelings for Fiore as he puts trials before her as he is fighting his need to protect her as well as admitting his love for her as they come together. The interaction between Damen and especially Dryas will leave you wondering what is going to happen next with these characters. This is a must read as this book will hold your interest and attention from beginning to end.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This dark and twisted tale ended perfectly. I like the way it tied into The High Priestess and we get to read about what happened to Arsen and Fiore during the Masquerade Gala. I love the growth of Monster/Arsen and Fiore/ Katherine as a couple. Their journey of love took some twisted turns but they got their HEA. My favorite part of this book is the interactions between Arsen, Dryas and Damen and I look forward to reading Dryas and Damen's books next.

[Cynthia Carpenter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh man what a way for this to end series. You will have to read the first three to understand.
Fiore and Monster will take you on an emotional read if ups and downs back and forth with them. When she finds out a about something and one of his brothers is out to get him. Will she be able to tell him the truth and make it all work out.
Amazing read with twist and turns and a lot of things you won't expect.

[Silver Q · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 rounded up
The romance part was great, really great. It didn't feel too long, even if it should have, considering it took the time span of three books to evolve.
But the background story, the one concerning the three brothers and their New Orleans takeover attempt, it didn’t seem entirely adequate in terms of plot and originality.

[Ashley Olson- lovestoread08 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cherish picks up immediately up after the jaw dropping cliff hanger in Covet! You will understand Monster and Fiore a lot more in Cherish. They have an intense connection that left you confused yet loving at the beginning of this series. By the end of Cherish you will not only understand but love their connection!!! I would recommend reading the other books in this series to begin with but before you read Cherish read Olivia Ryann's The High Priestess. It will explain some things that happen in this story. The ending will leave you in tears and screaming for more!!! I can't wait for Olivia Ryann's next book!!!!

[Kira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! I am relatively new to dark romance, but this series blew me away! And Cherish was definitely my favorite of the series! Fiore and Monster have had a long journey to get where they are in Cherish. Through a lot of heartbreak and pain, they are finally in a good place. But not everyone wants them to have a happily ever after and it is going to take a lot of courage and cunning from both of them to get out of this dark world alive. I don't like giving spoilers, but I loved how everything came together in the end and I am excited to read more about the other characters in this series!
