Quiet but lonely Jared has to decide how much of himself he's willing to risk to keep party-boy Lucas.

Wealthy, attractive Lucas Reika treats life like a party, moving from bar to bar and man to man. Thumbing his nose at his restaurateur father's demand that he earn his keep, Lucas instead seduces a valued employee in the kitchen of their flagship restaurant, earning himself an ultimatum: lose access to his father's money or stay in the middle of nowhere with a man he has secretly lusted over from afar.

Quiet, hard-working Jared McFarland loves his farm on the outskirts of Hope, Arizona, but he aches to have someone to come home to at the end of the day. Jared agrees to take in his longtime crush as a favor. But when Lucas invades his heart in addition to his space, Jared has to decide how much of himself he's willing to risk and figure out if he can offer Lucas enough to keep him after his father's punishment is over.

Susan couldn't know he was there. She lived in Phoenix, and he lived a hundred twenty-five miles west in Hope, Arizona.

Susan's ability to read his mind terrified him.

"Plus, I know you're on your computer."

Lucky guess.

"And the reason I know you're on your computer is last time I visited, I uploaded a program that tracks everything you do on there."

Jared froze, thinking through the ramifications of that claim.

After a pause, Susan continued. "Do we need to…

This Novella was a vacation to Hope Arizona and the quiet life of Jared McFarland. It's a story I loved with a few chuckles disguised around a familiar message. Cardeno C doesn't fail to bring happily ever after to the very loveable character of Jared McFarland and somehow pairs him with his polar opposite, Lucas...The story was an easy read and left me with a renewed sense of faith and optimism in human nature. Four Stars.

Cardeno C is a fantastic storyteller. Each story draws readers in and allows us to witness the characters' journey to love –the steamy, loving, and dramatic path that changes them for the better and makes them whole.

Queer Town Abbey

Even though this is a novella, the author manages to pack in plenty of feelings and steam into those short pages and it didn't feel rushed at all. All in all I thought this was another great story from CC!
