I enjoyed so many things about Cardeno C's book~ the emotional connection between the two main characters, the connection between reader and MC, the love between Rafi and Isaac

 Sweet, super sexy, mushy, and romantic.

Positively phenomenal! A unique spin on the friends to lover theme with an amazing relationship-based story. Andrew Thompson and Caleb Lakes meet and become the best of friends while young teenagers. The story takes us through the next 20 years of their lives as they maintain their status as best friends with benefits. The question is whether or not they can ever move past this point. I loved both of these very well developed characters. Caleb was sweet, charming, an amazing friend, and a very strong person. It was adorable how he always had to be dressed to perfection. Andrew is brilliant, graduating from school early and ultimately becoming a top neurosurgeon. He's extremely kind but also very lonely due to his brilliance. He longs for a permanent relationship, but repeatedly chooses men who cheat on him. ... By the time they figured it out, I was crying happy tears! If you enjoy an amazing friends to lovers with benefits theme with great dialogue, strong characters, and an interesting life journey, this more than fits the bill.

This isn't about politics as much as it's about relationships, emotions and dedication to that one person in your life who completes you. Cardeno C hit all the buttons with this one. It's hot and sexy, sweet and sincere, and has a positively delightful happy ending.

Their story was a give and take, when one needed the other was there and vice versa. I loved seeing how open and honest Abe was and how willing he was to do things just because he was trusting his gut. Jason never knew what hit him. He saw someone he wanted and went after him even though he didn't understand his reasoning at the time. He didn't hide away from his wants and he too trusted his gut to know what he wanted. Great Read!
