David must find the courage to share himself and Jonathan must find the strength to tell the truth.
The moment naïve, optimistic Jonathan Doyle glimpses a gorgeous blue-eyed stranger from afar, he believes in love at first sight. Unfortunately, he loses sight of the man before they meet and then spends years desperately trying to find him. Just as he is about to give up, Jonathan gets a break and finally encounters David Miller face to face.
Successful, confident David turns Jonathan’s previously lonely life into a fairy tale, giving him more than he ever imagined. But the years spent searching were hard on Jonathan, and he’s terrified his young son and scandalous past will destroy his blossoming relationship. For David and Jonathan to build a future together, they’ll both have to dig deep: David for the courage to share himself in a way he’s never considered and Jonathan for the strength to tell the truth.

Excerpt
Full ExcerptDo you believe in love at first sight?
Jonathan Doyle sure did. Oh, he knew it was silly and naïve, but deep down he believed. He wanted to believe. Jonathan was a dyed-in-the-wool hopeless romantic. He always had been.
As a teenager, Jonathan spent hours watching old black-and-white movies on television. He was mesmerized by the chivalrous men holding doors open for their dates, taking their coats, pulling their chairs out, and all the rest of it. When other boys dreamt of growing up to be basketball players, rock stars, or firefighters, all Jonathan wanted was that head-over-heels, traditional love story. Well, almost traditional, because in his daydreams Jonathan—and not a woman—was the person sharing that endless love with Mr. Chivalrous. None of those old black-and-white movies covered that territory.
Though he was amiable and good-natured, Jonathan never could seem to keep things together. Somehow, no matter how hard he…
Reviews
This is a really sexy romance that was, pardon my language, a fuck fest the whole way through. The story was a good one even though Jonathan was painfully sweet at times but he was believable as a painfully shy man who was very easily led. When I read the blurb on this book I was expecting a saccharine story that would make my teeth curl but what I got was a really hot story of a single farther trying to make a go of life and holding out for love. What's not to love about that.
Jonathan is the innocent boy who is smacked in the face with reality only to discover that it's not all black and white as he once thought. ...Then there's David, the genuine good guy. If you don't look at his past issues with commitment and see him as he is with Jonathan, David is the ideal perfect man. ... I enjoy the sense of family in this story. ... This story is one of my favorites. ... The thing that sets Love at First Sight apart from the others in this series is the romantic notion of seeing someone who changes your life in one glance. This story is about dreaming and how those dreams change as life happens around us. It's about the decisions we make and how they shape our future. It's a story of struggle and fear that leads to beauty and happiness. This is a story of hope and wonder and of unconditional, unwavering love and loyalty. And I shall not forget to speak of the humor. Not only is this story sweet and dramatic, but it has it's laugh-out-loud moments. ... I love these guys. I love the fictional world that this author has created with this series. And I adore this sweet, sweet story. I recommend you read Love at First Sight by Cardeno C.
This is a beautiful story for anyone who believes in love at first sight. Jonathan is a wonderful character who, with his childlike outlook, opens up to the true beauty of the world for the reader. ... This is one truly memorable story!
Top2Bottom Reviews gave it 5 stars. Cardeno C's Love at First Sight is the newest addition to the Home Series and in my opinion it is the best so far. The characters are so believable and well developed that it is easy to imagine them in real life. The story is so endearing that you cannot help but root for the men to find their ever after.
