In the end, as expected, we have a great, super sappy, wonderfully happy, and marvelously Cardeno story well worth the pain at the beginning.

It has emotional ups and down, and characters that really come alive. I really adore that about this author's work the way the characters really jump off the pages and the emotional connections can be felt.... The story has a great pace to it, lots of emotional connection and the ending left me feeling like this family really was headed in the right direction.

I came for the sex, for the fluffy romance, and I got that, but what I'll take with me is the formation of a family. This isn't a book about overwrought declarations of love, but a quieter book about showing that love, feeling it in the small everyday events of life. ...don't underestimate fluff nugget romance novels or authors like Cardeno C.

It was a sweet, sexy and easy read... I loved the two MC's, I loved the simple, yet not so simple storyline... Some of the brother banter scenes are hilarious and I felt myself flinching and giggling from familiarity. This is a character driven story and it is well written. Not too heavy, if it was a movie it would be a romcom. ... The whole build up and the "normal" development of their relationship is handled beautifully by CC. The evolution of trust and patience is beautiful to read, and Emilio actually listens to some of the advice from his family, especially his sister. The secondary characters featured are strong and in perfect support for Emilio and Spencer. ... The sex was hot and sweet at the same time.

As always the sex is hot, the plot is tight, and the secondary characters make you yearn to know their stories. Cardeno C doesn't disappoint.
