Another winning read from Cardeno C albeit a shorter one.... but this endearing and tender shifter book never felt stunted or rushed, in fact it really grabbed me emotionally and within a couple of its chapters actually had me having a little weep.... The love scenes were as sweet and tender as they were hot and steamy...The sex never fails to sizzle but there's always a romantic, loving feel underpinning it too which I think really shows up in this particular storyline. For such a short story it packed a pretty emotional punch....Short, sweet, sexy, soulful and very satisfying. I loved it.

I liked the narration as much as the story itself. Both voices were different, and I felt uplifted by the way the plot unfolded, and that is due in part, to the narrator, Robert M. Clark. Of course, it most certainly is mostly due to the inimitable style and romantic imagination of Cardeno C. But the two together make a great story better. If you like shifter stories, consider this one. It’s just a few hours long but packed a lot of pleasure into my day so I’m happy to recommend it.

Beans: I really loved the premise of this story and it was beautifully written. Abel is a bit of an ass and Kai is so wounded it breaks your heart. I loved Kai's sister in this and I think Abel needed to grovel for years but Kai has such a forgiving heart and just wants his mate, his friend. ...Highly recommend!Nina: I enjoyed every minute of it. This is a story of both young love and love that endures for a lifetime....These men will steal your heart and have you begging for more. ...If for some reason you haven't already read this delightful little novella, you really must immediately purchase it and immerse yourself in all of the love, sweetness, passion, drama, and beauty that Cardeno C delivers to us once again.

This author is good at packing a lot of story in a few pages. The feelings that go through Abel when he sees Kai, and the condition he is in, is intense. He wants so badly to not care, but the pull between them is so strong. The embarrassment and self loathing that comes from Kai is heartbreaking. You will run the gamut of emotions with this read, but as always the strongest will be satisfaction!
