If you’re a fan of Cardeno C, you know that there is never a lack of emotion in these books. Though it may take awhile for our MCs to admit it, the love, affection and devotion are clear in other ways.

a really enjoyably sweet yet hot romance between ... endearing characters. ... What I loved about Cardeno's version of this type of fantasy romance ... was that for a good part of the story we just see these two guys actually getting to know each other as friends. No instant lust or love with these two. That slowly filters into the plot as the book rolls along...The yummy sexual tension is still there, but its paced out brilliantly across the book, getting stronger and more steamily sexy as the initial easy friendship between the MC's starts to turn into something deeper and more realistic as they spend their time together. The banter and conversation between JJ and Reg showed the depth of their chemistry together at each stage of the relationship. ....When that time arrives in the book, the heat level rockets and those love scenes that you've waited patiently for will definitely get you all hot and bothered and wanting to cool off in a cold shower!...There's some conflict and a touch of angst thrown in here and there but ultimately this is just a really endearing love story that makes you feel good and gives you the warm and fuzzies.

It's definitely going on my to reread "shelf."

Hugh and Johnnie's journey was emotionally touching, well written and at times thought provoking.... Of course the author doesn't leave out the steamy sexy times either, but in this story it fed the emotional connection between the two men in palpable ways. Great story Cardeno C!

An incredible story that is charming, loving, witty, humorous, touching and moving. I would recommend this to… everyone who wants a story that leaves you with a happy warm heart, a smile on your face and a sheen of tears in your eyes. Get this book, a bottle of wine and curl up on your sofa and enjoy a brilliant story.
