I also had the opportunity to review this book in AUDIO form, and it was just as delicious that way, as when I read it!

I adored this. ADORED this. I loved how the author showed the immediate mating bond between the two, but also gave Simon reason not to believe in his own feelings. I loved how Mitch, the big Alpha wolf, the strong, silent protector, had a gentle and loving attitude toward Simon from the start, even though he was hurt when Simon, his mate, rejected him. He didn't give up, kept chipping away at the walls, slowly but surely. This is CC at the absolute best - a grandiose, romantic love story between two fated mates, without any contrived conflict, misunderstandings and other cliches we so often find in the books we read. It's the story of how one man quietly, persistently works his way into another man's heart, the mating bond working in his favor, but never taking choices away. As with all of CC's books, I was swept away by the wonderful, emotional writing, and closed this book with a sigh and a smile. Only Cardeno C. does this special brand of sweet, fluffy, fully satisfying romance.

I really enjoyed how the relationship between the two progresses and the amount of love and friendship shown. Mitch is certainly one to have on your side, I thought he was brilliant. Simon proved that he was stronger than everyone thought (apart from Mitch) and to see his turnaround was wonderful.

This is a fabulous audio book, one that I will listen to again and again. A keeper. Go and grab your copy.
