Just What the Truth is also has lots of sexy bits and romance. I recommend this to those looking for a perfectly sweet happily ever after.
I love this story. It shows what you can do when you truly do love someone and are willing to accept them flaws and all. Also shows that real love will truly set you free.
I adored Charlie as a narrator. He was humorous, witty, playful and honest. ... Charlie's narration is his larger than life personality and I couldn't resist his charm. Some books tell us characters are charming but this book not only showed me his charm but sucked me in with his charm. ... This is a book about people maturing and making decisions on who to build a life with. Though this romance has three people, it's not a ménage in the strictest sense as it isn't about sex really. Yes, the men do have sex together at novel's end (don't think I'm spoiling anything to say that in a Cardeno C. novel which always has trademark hot sex!) However, the relationship development between the three men is what this romance is about. It's fairly straightforward and certainly sweet as readers expect in a Cardeno C. novel.
I don't think I have ever read a book by Cardeno C. that hasn't tugged at my heartstrings. Cardeno has a way of writing MCs that just pulls me in and makes me fall in love with them immediately. ... This book touched me so deeply for many different reasons.... It is so sweet to witness Emilio demonstrate the reasons he can't resist Spencer and even more wonderful to watch Spencer start to believe he is handsome. I love how Emilio helps Spencer get over a past trauma that is still causing side effects even now. One of the best parts of the story was the love and acceptance Spencer finally finds, not only from Emilio, but from his entire family. Emilio's uber-tough brothers, his loving sister and his parents all took Spencer in and adopted him into the Sanchez family. ... I love Cardeno's books and this one is no exception. Watching Spencer come out of his shell and seeing that there is more to Emilio than his great body was a fun ride, and it is one I plan on taking as many times as possible. Seriously, you will miss a wonderfully sweet romance if you miss this one!
McFarland's is a beautifully written romantic-without-going-cheesy fairy tale novella about a gentle beastly bear loving his beauty. The great thing is that both men did not jump the creek and go for it, they went with the flow, fighting their attraction through the getting-to-know-each-other stage before they finally succumbed. Yes, theirs is a beautiful fairy tale romance that just made the 'awwws' fall from my lips and had me smiling goofy even as I write this. ....Lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely. **smilingoofy**
