This is the fourth, and probably last book, in the Mates series, which I loved. LOVED. ...This being a book by Cardeno C., there are also some super hot sexy times (when they then finally happen, OMG), and knotting. ...There is always such emotion within the sexy times, and I think that's one of the author's special gifts. ...This is definitely a fitting end to the series, and I loved that the couples from the previous book made an appearance. Well, all but Samuel. It can be read as a standalone, but why would you? Why would you not read all the books in this fantastic series? Exactly.
I love Cardeno C.'s writing and I usually end up with a massive smile after being swept away by gorgeous writing and a romance that makes your heart sing and sweeps you along with the characters. This was no exception: beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this was certainly a beauty in more ways than one.
Jay: Sometimes a cute, sweet, and low-drama story with an unlikely pairing is the perfect way to spend the day. That’s exactly the sort of book Cardeno C.’s Not a Game is. Kim: The author has an engaging writing style that pulled me right in and made me fall in love with these characters. Oliver was a unique hero, and I could not help but feel for him....This book made me smile often and believe in the saying that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
All combine to give us a heart-tugging story of two wolves, one who wants what he can't have, and another that doesn't want what he needs most.
Jonathan is the innocent boy who is smacked in the face with reality only to discover that it's not all black and white as he once thought. ...Then there's David, the genuine good guy. If you don't look at his past issues with commitment and see him as he is with Jonathan, David is the ideal perfect man. ... I enjoy the sense of family in this story. ... This story is one of my favorites. ... The thing that sets Love at First Sight apart from the others in this series is the romantic notion of seeing someone who changes your life in one glance. This story is about dreaming and how those dreams change as life happens around us. It's about the decisions we make and how they shape our future. It's a story of struggle and fear that leads to beauty and happiness. This is a story of hope and wonder and of unconditional, unwavering love and loyalty. And I shall not forget to speak of the humor. Not only is this story sweet and dramatic, but it has it's laugh-out-loud moments. ... I love these guys. I love the fictional world that this author has created with this series. And I adore this sweet, sweet story. I recommend you read Love at First Sight by Cardeno C.
