What I Liked: Ethan may be the younger man here but he knows his mind and is willing to fight for Miguel which I loved. Ethan has a pure love for Miguel that allows no doubts or fears and I enjoyed this earnest romance. Miguel tries valiantly to send Ethan away, both because they're different species and because he doesn't think he's a good for Ethan but Ethan isn't having it. Ethan sees right through Miguel pitiful attempts to push him away and stands firm in his love and acceptance for Miguel and this made for a delightful romance in my opinion. The sexual intimacy is much more frequent and graphic than I remember in book one but since I love erotic romance that was a good thing. I also enjoyed how biologically Miguel and Ethan were destined to be true mates. This fact strengthened the insta-mate trope that is used here and makes it a tad different than other romances in the genre. What I Also Liked: I also liked the inclusion of Ethan's wolf pack and Miguel's vampire clan. Ethan is the runt of his pack and has been treated as such for years so to see Miguel stick up for him and truly value him was a just what I wanted. Miguel's dark nature is brilliantly showcased in how he deals with his clan when they cause potential harm to Ethan. In romances readers are often told a hero is powerful and ruthless but this book shows…

The sex is plentiful and hot. The emotions are high and sweet. The "I love yous" plentiful. This story (and the whole series) is a warm blanket on a cold day and definitely gives you the feeling of coming home after a long trip away.

Ok I've made it perfectly clear how much I freakin' adore stories from this author like crazy and this was no exception. You get lovely story with just the perfect amount dirty to get you hot and bothered. ...as per Cardeno C's criteria, you get a lot of sweetness and steam between them. Finally I can't forget the dirty talk. Damn, Jason had a naughty mouth and he didn't hold back using it AT ALL!!! Seriously Hawt. I totally recommend to ... anyone looking for a well-rounded and entertaining story.

Cardeno knows how to tell a story that can make you smile one instant and cry ~tears of happiness or sadness~ the next.

What ensues is a story of friendship, trust and acceptance...the emotions are in the forefront along with the humor. The ‘feels' in this story are subtle but heartfelt nonetheless. Jeremy and Reg's connection is instant but through honest dialogue, funny banter and flirtatious and candid interactions, Cardeno deepens it. Bringing forth numerous ‘awww' moments, laughs and sighs. I loved Jeremy and Reg's easy camaraderie. It was great to see how it jumped off the page. They were friends first, lovers later and their journey was a treat to experience.
