Jumping In by Cardeno C. was a quick sexy read that satisfied and tantalized the senses....Together, the men set the sheets ablaze and wormed their way into each other’s hearts and this reader.

This is a sweet yet humorous story. The one-liners had me laughing out loud more than once. Initially I wasn't sure if Isaac deserved a second chance but as the story played out I found myself rooting for him. The characters are charming. The sex is hot as hell. The ending is perfect. A very good read.

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.

Reg's campaign to show Jeremy what relationships are supposed to be like as opposed to what Jeremy thought they were based on his experiences was beautiful. Jeremy's slow but very sexy seduction was breathtaking. I loved Reg's patience while he gave Jeremy the chance to figure out for himself that he was attracted to Reg, even if all his previous relationships had been with women. The scenes leading up to Jeremy's moment of revelation gradually went from sweet to hot as Jeremy evolves from cherishing the cuddles and closeness he needs to fully appreciating his sexuality and newly discovered appetite for it.

I think one of my favorite things about this book was how it felt in relation to the first book in the Family series. This book was beautiful. It was sweet and delicious. I loved both Spencer and Emilio from the first page to the last . If you are looking for angst and drama go back and read book one, Something In the Way He Needs, and you will be get all the hard angst you crave. If you want the story of two men who learn to love and accept each other, than Strong enough is the book for you. The way Cardeno made these two books feel completely different is intriguing. ... This book is special. It made me feel so happy. There are sad moments and struggles and these men both have to grow and adapt and learn how to be more than they ever knew they could be, but sweet mercy, the journey was beautiful.
