Not a Game' is probably the most romantic book I've read in a very long time. I mean that in the truest sense of the word. Everything about the story, the main characters, and the secondary ones, just worked and fit together seamlessly. 

  The writer did a wonderful job of drawing the reader into the story. 

I loved the "voices" in this book.

This was one of my favorite of the series. I ADORED Eli. He was precocious and snarky, hilarious and blunt, funny and sweet - all rolled into one. Seth kinda bugged me at first. He seemed to either just be oblivious to how hard he was making things for Eli or didn't care.
But - when Seth finally figures things out - YOWZA - the man did surprise me! He turns out to be quite the experimental and daring lover and I loved their interactions in the bedroom.
I also loved the funny wedding stories and thought it was so clever how each chapter started with an invitation and ended with... well - you'll see!

As per usual, Cardeno C writes a fun, engaging story with minimal fuss and no melodrama...The secondary characters are great and I fell in love with Angela, Jason's ex-wife. ... that is Cardeno C's style, isn't it? Writing fabulous relationships. Great pairings. The title fits this couple really well....Great addition to the series. Sexy addition to the series. Good, strong characters. Passion and sweetness all rolled together to form great reading pleasure…in every sense of the word. It is a standalone, so don't worry if you haven't read any of the preceding books, it makes no difference. Cardeno C does the "two-of-us-together-forever" really well. There is always a message and it is never preachy. Highly recommended reading.
