Cardeno's contemporary seems to do it for me. I wanted possessive alpha that is intense in getting their man. It's exactly what was delivered. It's short enough not to bore and read in between novels....Recommended for smutsters who want to read something possessive, hot and sweet all at the same time.

Cleverly written and wonderfully portrayed another all round happy feeling story for the holiday period. This book is really about second chances and realizing your opportunities when they present themselves and grasping on to them. ... I enjoyed this story a lot. It has a strong message that life is too precious to throw away and you should enjoy every day and take joy in the things you have.

super cute, super sweet and super awesome, with great humor and banter, a powerful, intense and strong relationship, character growth.... I adored the two main characters, JJ and Reg, and loved absolutely everything about this, marshmallow fluff and all....it's wonderful and refreshing to see a real, true love story develop...I had so much FUN reading this book!

I don't even have to tell you that the writing was brilliant, but I will anyway because I want you to understand why this book impressed me so. ... Asher and Daniel are like night and day, but the author managed to bring them together in a believable way and made it look effortless. Only the author's ability to understand the intricacies of people's personalities and how they can relate to each other can bring this about. ... The connection between these two is not something I could easily imagine, but Cardeno C presented it in a manner that captivated my attention and after reading these guys' journey I wouldn't have it any other way. This is not the common boy meets boy, boys get to know each other until they fall in love and have their HEA. Nope. This story flows along in quite the opposite direction. ...From their first meeting through the development of the relationship Cardeno C managed to keep me engaged with entertaining and meaningful dialog, emotions galore and fantastic man-on-man sex. The interaction between them ranged from the meaningful to the flirtatious and the emotions extracted from them were just as varied. But what I appreciated the most was the sense of realness I got from their journey. Although their chemistry was hot and their connection was developing with every moment they spent together both Asher and Daniel had to make an effort to make it work. And it is here that the characters' development…

What I liked most about this story is that in addition to the struggles of Jason and Abe trying a new relationship and facing Jason-centered hurdles, there are also real-life problems that have to be faced. What do you do about the kids? What do you do when your son is heading down the wrong path? And I loved that Angela, Jason's ex-wife and mother of his children, is a strong, loyal female character.
