... Partly that is because Charlie is a fabulous narrator. I just loved his dialog and his inner voice. ... He is confident and sharp witted and determined to be himself. ... Charlie is also the heart of the story, the person who ties the three men together, the one who is the nurturer and the caregiver and who is the rock that builds their family. ... I will be vague on the details here to avoid spoiling some significant events, but I will just say the three men reunite and there is an opportunity for them to all three be together. Again, the author really shows us how far these three men have come over the years (it has been about 20 since the start of the book). ..The three men are fabulous together and all make a perfect family... So I totally adored this story and it is my favorite for sure by this author. I loved the slow sweetness to the story. It is actually fairly light on the sex, at least by this author's standards, but at the same time, the passion and intensity between these men when they are together is amazing. Just the smallest scenes are so heated and meaningful. They are so sexy and romantic and loving that I just adored them. I loved Charlie's humor and narration, loved the way the story builds one relationship at a time until ultimately it all comes together. I just adored the whole thing. Exceptionally well…

This is a book in the Family Series. These books can absolutely be read stand alone as the timelines overlap for many so reading stand alone does not affect the readers experience. I loved Charlie, Scott and Adan's story. ....From the moment I opened the book, Charlie's voice pulled me right in as he takes the reader on a journey as he scrapbooks his life....The author manages to allow us to hear from Adan and Scott all while still hearing pieces in Charlie's voice; these three POV's were masterfully woven together to create a tapestry of happy perfect for this trio. The happy developed slowly and I adored how Adan and Scott wanted to care for Charlie; sex was not the priority. That made it even hotter when the sex did some and oh yes it is hot! I count on CC for amazing dialogue; something this author yet again delivers in spades...The author manages to give each man his own voice; each felt true to the character created and compelled me to want to read more.

So I think the first thing that made this book for me was Charlie's voice. The way the story is told from his point of view and the way that his attitude comes through drew me in and had me falling in love before the end of the first chapter. ... This book will take you through everything, every emotion and thought and feeling in the best possible way. If you enjoyed the first two books in the Family series then adding this book to your library is a no brainer and if you haven't read the other two then stop what you are doing and read them now. You will thank me in the end. These books reaffirm that the best family is the family that you pick yourself and that when you are offered a second chance, take it! Cardeno is one of those authors that has become and auto-buy for me in a very short period of time. Fabulous stories and unforgettable characters are in every book!

This author's brand of snarky, witty humor is perfect for me. ... This latest book was no different. I loved it from the start... It allowed me to fully immerse myself into the book, and follow along, laugh and snicker and giggle and rage, and yes, even shed a few tears from the beauty of it all. ... What impressed me too was that CC let his characters grow throughout. ... It was fluffy and sweet and funny and cute, and I want you all to read this.
