I enjoyed Not a Game and highly recommend it. With its distinctly different characters, strong scenes of physical and emotional connection, and sweet HEA, it is a lovely m/m romance with excellent promise for a new series.

This short story is filled with emotion, tenderness, heat and plenty of fluffy "aww" moments. Shiloh and Travis have a love many wish they could have and it was sweet seeing how everything turned out for the two men. Definitely recommended.

Nobody does FLUFFY-DIRTY like CC!

Beans: I really loved the premise of this story and it was beautifully written. Abel is a bit of an ass and Kai is so wounded it breaks your heart. I loved Kai's sister in this and I think Abel needed to grovel for years but Kai has such a forgiving heart and just wants his mate, his friend. ...Highly recommend!Nina: I enjoyed every minute of it. This is a story of both young love and love that endures for a lifetime....These men will steal your heart and have you begging for more. ...If for some reason you haven't already read this delightful little novella, you really must immediately purchase it and immerse yourself in all of the love, sweetness, passion, drama, and beauty that Cardeno C delivers to us once again.

Beans:  I really loved this book. ...mostly it was about two men finding each other. ...Just two men who became wonderful friends, lovers, and then partners. A beautiful book full of love and life.Nina:  This is a fantastic book ...This book rocked the sexy, fun and the behind the scenes look at the talented artist. ...I enjoyed the ease of the friends to lovers aspect of their romance. There was sexual tension and a slow, sweet build up to them moving to a sexual relationship that allowed time for the trust and emotional intimacy to develop....It all comes together so beautifully and I was left in awe of Cardeno C's ability to take a slightly implausible scenario and make me not only believe it, but rejoice and run out and tell people how wonderful this story is.
