When you sign on to read a Cardeno C. novel, you are positive to get three things in return: first, a romance that is sweet and rewarding; second, a happy ever after that comes with very little angst or troubles; and third, a feel good emotional reward that leaves you smiling long after the novel’s end. Cardeno C. is a master at romance—sweet, sometimes sappy, yet always a complete story where boy meets boy, boy gets boy and they both live happily ever after....This author dares to create a happy ever after for an average guy, with an above average man who desires him. In the end, Not a Game becomes a magical fairytale romance that delivers all the feels and emotions with a twist—characters who are, for once, utterly real and worthy of love.

From the first word I was sucked into this unique and amazing story. Johnnie is such a fast and enjoyable read, with very little angst but enough heart and depth for me to fall in love.

I loved the emotional connection that Ethan and Miguel share. It is an electric spark that jumps right off the page. Ethan behaves as one very young and optimistic, while Miguel is a darker and more stoic. However, the love between them is nearly tangible. ... When you want a paranormal tale that is a little dark and overflowing with emotion, one you will not forget any time soon, Until Forever Comes is the book to pick up.

This one was great! I always enjoy books by Cardeno...Once they realize what is between them, and the passion kicks in, the sex is very yummy! They are a good match eventually, I liked them as a couple. ....The writing was great.

They say good things come in little packages and this beautifully written sexy novella certainly fits the bill....I loved this storyline and ... delicious and altogether addictive characters. This novella gave a whole bite size of steamy lusciousness that left me begging for more. Five stars!
