These two establish a strong physical connection from the very beginning. Their intimate scenes are erotic, detailed, and emotional. Not only do they connect on a physical level, but their dialogue is frank and direct as they get to know each other and their comfort levels rise, particularly Ollie’s. They work well together in all aspects, and I especially enjoyed watching Ollie come out of his shell and revel in his sexuality with abandon.

I have two reactions I flip flop between when reading Cardeno C. I'm either saying "D'aawww!" or "Holy shit, that's hot." Happens every time.

Johnnie was an easy story to listen to and held my attention. It offered a bit of a twist on the shifter world adding in the Siphon and the men grow to balance each other out quite well. Recommended for a sweet shifter love story.

This is a shifter world with a very interesting twist to the Mating of shifters. ... The book follows these guys from birth until they are thirty, so you get to see them at all stages of their life and relationship. I liked that. I also liked that their romance didn't evolve until later than you would expect. Before that they were truly just best friends although they definitely always had that bond. I also really enjoyed the fact that Jonah never knew that Zev and Pup were the same creature. Yes, he has a bond with the wolf too who's been with him throughout his life. It was a good read. I could feel the bond between the two guys and as they began to decline, I really worried for them. I loved the mystery of why Jonah is the way that he is... a bit stronger than he should be as a human and he always has a sense when Zev is around. The twist with Zev being as strong as he was and a great Alpha for his pack made him a great hero. You got to see him strong and dominate with them, but then got to see his soft, mushy side with Jonah. But I truly loved that both guys are really VERY strong. It was an interesting read and I definitely enjoyed it.

I adored this book. Although Asher makes considerable changes in his life to accommodate Daniel's needs, I never felt that he was making a sacrifice. He genuinely adored making Daniel happy, while retaining the feeling of power in the relationship. He was able to give Daniel what he needed, but what was even more heartwarming to watch unfold, was the way Daniel was able to give Asher what he needed - what he didn't even know he needed until Daniel gave it to him. Asher makes more than a few mistakes, but his heart is in the right place. The story took an unexpected twist near the end, which made things even more interesting, and just when I thought Cardeno C. had broken my heart for good, she wrapped me in a warm hug and made everything right again. This one's going on my favorites shelf!
