Boyfriends come and go but best friends are forever has always been Andrew and Caleb's mantra. Can they be both?
At fourteen, Andrew Thompson and Caleb Lakes become best friends. As the years pass, they stand by each other through family trauma, school, and the start of their careers. They share their first sexual experiences, learning and experimenting, and they talk each other through countless dates and breakups.
Decades of trust and loyalty build a deep and abiding friendship, one that surpasses any relationship in their lives. But when the parameters of their unique friendship change, neither man knows how to break out of their established roles to build something new. After all, boyfriends come and go, but best friends are forever.

Excerpt
Full Excerpt2008
“Harder, oh God, Drew…harder!” Caleb Lakes flattened his palms against his headboard, locked his elbows, and braced himself against his roommate’s animalistic thrusts. There was no way this was going to last long. Not with those familiar I’m-about-to-blow-my-load grunts flowing from Andrew’s mouth in a steady stream while his thick dick shoved into Caleb with uncoordinated abandon.
Long fingers curled around Caleb’s waist, muscular thighs wedged between his spread legs, and firm hips undulated behind him. Caleb knew what would come next. Andrew Thompson’s body during sex was as familiar to Caleb as his own. That smooth long neck would tilt back, green eyes would clench shut, plump lips would drop open, and a pink tongue would dart out. Then Andrew would shout out Caleb’s name and his body would stiffen as his cock pulsed, releasing his seed.
Just the thought of Andrew in the throes of passion was…
Reviews
This is a delightful story that I will never forget.
The best thing about this book is how it's told over time. ... I loved watching Andrew and Caleb grow up, explore life and become men... I really enjoyed this complete look at these two characters' lives and how they loved and supported each other through it all, large and small. ... MM readers who enjoy a good erotic romance will adore Andrew and Caleb. They have a chemistry that leaps off the page from the time they first notice each other sexually and continues the entire book. Andrew enjoys body modification and this will delight MM readers as it did me. Unlike some authors who write good erotic interludes but not emotional intimacy, this author deftly combines both. The characters' emotional connection is just as tangible as their sexual chemistry.
It's hard for me to believe that I'm already at book six in Cardeno C.'s 'Home' series and I love each and every book just as much as the prior ones. This author has a way of making every story unique, sexy, loving, emotional, and just plain wonderful. 'The One Who Saves Me' centers around a deep and abiding friendship that begins to change and the issues that can arise. ... I'm running out of words to express how very much I love this author's work. Caleb and Andrew's story was so incredibly sweet and loving, while at the same time I just wanted to smack them both sometimes for not realizing what was right in front of them. When they did figure it out, well, I was so thrilled that what they'd been looking for was right there waiting and they got the happy ever after they both deserved.
Ahhh, Cardeno C. always writes an incredible story and this one is no different. The story of Andrew and Caleb is very sweet and touching and at times frustrating. Both these characters are incredible men. ... The sex between them is very hot and sexy and it was wonderful to see that over so many they still fancied each other rotten. I recommend this to those who love a friend to lovers story, deep abiding love, hot sex, heartache, frustration and a belated happy ending.
