This is one of my favorites of Cardeno C.'s. Definitely in my top 3. It was so sexy and sweet, with little angst.

This is a sexually and emotionally charged story ...They're drawn to each other time and again and while the sex is off the charts there's an attraction that exists beyond the physical. Reading about these two men falling in love was so enjoyable for me. On the surface they're very opposites attract but at their core the men are so similar in their desires and in what they want out of a relationship. It was just such a moving and passionate read that I know I'll go back to it again and again.

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.

This is a seriously sweet and sexy read. Cardeno C. never fails to give us a feel good, heart-warming ride and I love that I can look forward to every book knowing that my heart will be happy and full! ... This book is completely stand-alone and definitely worth picking up. If you want a hot, sexy yet sweet and heart-warming read then this is for you!

I like reading a story of any genre that reaches outside the box of what is normal, and this story is a breath of fresh air to the usual paranormal/shifter reader. ... As well as being a sweet, creative love story, Cardeno C. brings a little humor and mystery to this story. I highly recommend it and look forward to reading the next book in the Mates series in the future.
