In the end, as expected, we have a great, super sappy, wonderfully happy, and marvelously Cardeno story well worth the pain at the beginning.

Not a Game' is probably the most romantic book I've read in a very long time. I mean that in the truest sense of the word. Everything about the story, the main characters, and the secondary ones, just worked and fit together seamlessly. 

A well written story with engaging characters, it focuses on the themes of forgiveness, love, acceptance and family. Steadily paced and emotionally complex, the relationship between Abe and Jase is like a flower that slowly unfurls in the warmth of the sun.

Cardeno C's books are like a balm to my soul. I don't mind angst and drama when I know the payoff is a glorious HEA. ...This book blends tenderness with hawtness (CC's trademark!). ...The secondary characters, especially Samuel's gentle father, were wonderful! There was some conflict and angst, but once the guys found each other, they didn't let go! Wonderful writing, wonderful wolves, wonderful book!

Once again Cardeno C. has written a very lovely story about true love. So far I have loved every single story of Cardeno C. They are quick to read and jam packed with emotion and heart.
