Another Highly Recommended Story from The Mates Series by Cardeno C.

Deep feelings and good characterizations are not easy to develop in such a short story, but the author manages it really well. Ethan pulled me in from the very start; while it was the initial humor that made me smile, it was his cluelessness that kept me reading. I wanted to know if he’d get it. And at the end, when he finally admitted how he felt, the depth of his emotions was very rewarding. If you like short, sweet stories with a (temporal) twist, you will probably like this one.

Can I just say O.M.G. Cardeno took a concept that should never have worked and not only made it work, but made it work well. ... There are some very touching moments that we can all remember from our youth ... some will pull on your heart strings; some will make you so ANGRY you want to scream; and some will make you laugh so loudly you will disturb anyone within a mile radius of you while you are reading them. But what they all do is tell the love story these three men share over two decades. They all end up going their own way, but fate has a way of making decisions for us that we would never have expected. This isn't the average M/M/M story. In my opinion, this is a very unique take on the concept and it just works. ... I think this is one of Cardeno C.'s best works, and I have never laughed as hard as I did while reading the scene about the lentils. That was just brilliant! If you have liked Cardeno's work in the past, I think you will love this one. I know I did.

When I want sweet, sexy and satisfaction guaranteed it's never a hard choice if CC is involved and once again I got exactly what I wanted ...I have to put a big emphasis on the "sexy" this time. OH MY! I have to say, Jason and Abe sizzled between the sheets...and the dirty talk...WOWSER!!! ... Jason and Abe's story really encompasses the true meaning of the title of this series because this is a book all about family values and I loved how by finding his true family in Abe, Jason finally found himself and a way to reconnect and redeem himself with the people who he truly loved but couldn't fully give himself to. So CC has delivered again and I got my feel good fix with a side order of off the scale hawtness that could melt the buttons off a fireproof nightie!!

Holy Hell, this is a fantastic hurt/comfort story that hits you hard ...I loved this story and absolutely adore Kai and Abel, both men have been through a lot ...This really is a brilliant story that pulls on the heart strings and has you cheering when Kai gets his revenge, I loved how easily they put the past behind them, they refuse to let the past drag them down… that doesn't mean that it doesn't leave it's scars on Kai because it does but with the security of his mate he can deal.
