Controlled Asher didn't expect to fall for free-spirited Daniel, but they'll find what they desperately need in one another.
Police captain Asher Penaz’s staunch professionalism bleeds into his home life, down to his neatly pressed attire and spartan apartment. He enjoys being in charge and in control, so his sudden and powerful attraction to the lighthearted, free-spirited Daniel Tover throws him for a loop. In his entire life, Daniel has never gotten what he needs, so he moves to the next place, the next job, the next attempt to find something worth staying for, always landing at the top of his game, but never feeling like he belongs.
The chemistry between Asher and Daniel sizzles, but with all that fire comes the risk of getting burned. As both men struggle to learn themselves while getting to know each other, the lines of desire and control blur. If Daniel and Asher can walk through the flames together, they might find what they desperately need.
“You better not call me an asshole or tell me I’m selfish or any other bullshit for the rest of our motherfuckin’ lives,” Asher Penaz growled at his friend.
Of course, it was entirely possible that Oliver couldn’t hear him or wasn’t listening. There was no way for Asher to know because there was a wall of nearly naked women between them. He pulled yet more money from his wallet, tucked it into the tiny string holding up the almost-too-small-to-bother bikini gyrating in front of his face, and thought about how he’d never once expected to find himself in this position.
It wasn’t that Asher was opposed to nudity—far from it. But the female form wasn’t what did it for him. Not that any of this mattered to Oliver, as evidenced by the fact that the man had dragged him to this place.

a wonderfully sweet book
God damn Cardeno C. when you decide to break the mold you do it in a unique and brilliant way. ... Asher and Daniel are a fantastic couple. Daniel changes Asher without even realizing it and Asher introduces Daniel to something he never knew he would like. There's a lot of give and take with both men finding what they really need, but neither man are actively trying. They just naturally provide what the other needs, and whoo the sex is explosive. It isn't all easy between them though, especially when Asher's past rears its ugly head because of his insecurities, a simple touch of jealousy and lack of communication. This is a story not to be missed if you love slight kink, a Dom who wakes up to his needs, a sweet man who likes a touch of dominance, a great story, brilliant characters and a very happy ending, I highly recommend this book to everyone.
I love the way CC can take two slightly damaged men who are either a little or a lot lost and bring them together, showing them that yes - Love does have a place in everyone's life. This was one hot book and I enjoyed seeing in control Asher lose control for Daniel.
There is a real focus on differences in the story but all that made me do is see how similar Danny and Asher are and how perfect they become for each other. I love reading stories about men capable of great change or informed change where it is a conscious choice to behave in a different way. Therefore, this one was perfectly placed and timed for me to love the heck out of it. If you enjoy a great story about two men who are flawed but hopeful and willing to work toward the end goal then Something in the Way He Needs is heartily recommended by me!
