Something in the Way He Needs is the first novel I have read by Cardeno C., and it certainly won't be my last. The character development is superb and the plot is unique and extremely well-executed. The sex scenes are exquisitely erotic, varied and plentiful. The conflict between Asher and Daniel is believable and I like really like how this part of the storyline contributed to the growth of Asher's character. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys contemporary male/male romances. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment of the Family series.

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 really loved watching these men change and meld together. Their relationship definitely isn't an easy one. They have to overcome their differences and their insecurities to make it work.

Extremely well-developed characters, minor characters who helped contribute to the story, great dialogue, and solid relationship development made this a fantastic story! I'm thrilled to have found an author that I've never read before, but will certainly be reading again!
