Jaymie: From the stories of friendships that develop into love to enemies who find they fit perfectly with one another, destined mates and second chance love, I always feel good after reading one of Cardeno C's books....f you want to read a story with just a tad bit of angst and a whole lot of sweet, great down to earth characters, romance and fun, Not A Game is a great choice. Heather: I seriously loved this book, I would bet I had a smile through most of this book. ...his is a book that I will reread. It's sweet, loving, funny and made my heart sigh. 

The romance in this story really is beautiful. Two powerful males making out is just as about as hot as it gets but you can feel the love, its a powerful combination.

Wonderful heartfelt story ... Once I started I couldn't stop. It never fails to amaze me how much depth, feeling and emotion Cardeno C. packs into a story. The characters are always likeable and easy to connect with, the stories flow and while there are issues to muddle through, they aren't filled with an overwhelming amount of angst. ...I loved the deep meaningful conversations smattered throughout the book... Cardeno C. doesn't just tell you what the characters are feeling, you experience it along with them...Lots of love here in many forms, and when you turn the last page you feel good and want to go back and start all over again.

The author was able to convey some pretty sizzling chemistry between them [the leads]

Cardeno C is a fantastic storyteller. Each story draws readers in and allows us to witness the characters' journey to love –the steamy, loving, and dramatic path that changes them for the better and makes them whole.
