I truly loved this latest Cardeno C. story of shifters, werewolves, and true mates,

This is the first book in the Mates series and is a fun one I like to re-read. Zev is the son of a pack alpha and is supposed to mate with a female wolf. Only, he's finding himself more and more attracted to his best human friend, Jonah. And there's no such thing as a gay shifter. This is a bit different from my usual fare because there wasn't a clear villain or straight plot line. It was more like a peak inside the lives of these two men, which is perfect if that's what you're looking for. I love the two heroes, and I loved reading as they fought (or tugged) on their chemistry and created a bond.

Review: I am not normally a huge fan of the short story, but I think Cardeno C. has absolutely nailed it with All of Me...I simply love good second chance love stories, and this was a fabulous example of one. Not only is the love these two share palpable, but it was enduring and beautiful. I can't recommend this one enough.

It is a sweet love story between a damaged man and a spoiled rotten brat.

When I got through with this book, my thought was how much it made me smile. And my second was, it's just lovely.
