Cherish Me Forever

The Maxwell Brothers

By: Layla Hagen

Narrated by: Jacob Morgan, Savannah Peachwood

Reese Maxwell meets her happy-ever-after in Layla Hagen's latest. What starts as a pretend romance soon turns into so much more...Newly divorced Dominic Waldorf is the most coveted bachelor in Chicago. At least, that’s what he thinks. I’d describe him as more of a Neanderthal with a really nice backside.

When I accidentally spill champagne on him at a charity event, he accuses me of hitting on him. Then later, I run into him in an empty coat room, and he’s convinced.

The truth is even more embarrassing.

I’m hiding from my ex-fiancé, who showed up with his new wife—my former best friend. I try to hold it together, but instead spill my guts to this handsome stranger.

Dom surprises me by suggesting an agreement: we pretend to date. I get to rub it in my ex’s face and he appears off the ‘market’. You scratch my back—I scratch yours, that sort of thing.

Dom is an excellent fake boyfriend. He’s protective and caring, and even gives me a smoking hot kiss.

Then things get complicated. The charity has another event for us to attend —out of town, and overnight.

Between late night confessions and three more smoking hot kisses—not that I’m counting—I start wondering if he’s really faking everything.

I’m certainly way past pretending.

Soon after, Dom admits that he wants to date me… me, Reese Maxwell, for real!

But my heart isn’t allowed to make any decisions anymore.

Except — maybe — this one last time…

Fake Boyfriend

Dom played his part well. He was a great fake boyfriend. Fell quickly. Even though he said he'd move slow so soon after divorce and he was guarded he threw caution to the wind and was all about Reese. This was just what I needed.
Jacob Morgan makes me swoon. Savannah rocks. Both are great narrators.
This was a neat and tidy ending to the Maxwell series.

Enjoyable story.

A great start to the series. A truly entertaining romantic story. I enjoyed their journey and their HEA.

the families love for one another

that life is beautiful and love is truly amazing! I loved all of her books and the way all of their lives intertwined!

Cherish Me Forever

I’m sad now. This book was great, but it was Reese’s story. There are no more Maxwells left that need their happily ever afters. I love the way Layla Hagen writes big families that are so close. Reese has been through hell because of her ex, so it was perfect to end with her. Plus Dom was great with her and her family.

Favorite in the series

I don’t typically enjoy the fake boyfriend trope, but it ended up just being how they met and initially connected.

I think this was my favorite book of the series. There was just something about Dom and Kimberly’s story. Both had been damaged by exes, but Dom wasn’t afraid to love which gave Kimberly the trust she needed to open to romantic love. They both love deeply and completely.
