This story is hands down one of my favorite novellas of Cardeno’s. Filled with so much love and hope it definitely doesn’t hurt that the sex is hot as hell too.

I loved the banter between these two. I found myself laughing quite a few times. It's also the kind of story you've come to love about CC. That sweet, charming, gives me the "aww" feels. 

 It was quick, adorable, and sweet with a quick dose of steam. 

One of the many things that make this particular Cardeno book enjoyable is main character Samuel Goodwin. ...He's like a shifter Mr. Darcy. A shifter Mr. Darcy who hates Korban Keller.....He's never seen any proof that two males may tie together and therefore the possibility doesn't exist for him. Which makes it even sweeter when, after a series of dramatic events, Samuel finally realizes that what he's feeling is love....What I like most about this whole series is the way Cardeno deals with the ever popular shifter mates theme. As I stated above according to the shifter lore found in this series there is only one correct combination that makes up a mating; males and females. But Cardeno shows that not only can two men love each other, two men, even two species within the series, can complete each other..... this book was the fluffy, romantic & sexy good time you can expect from a Cardeno C. book.

McFarland's Farm by Cardeno C. is a light, angst free novella. The story has very little conflict and when misunderstandings do arise, they are quickly resolved. The characters are well-developed with realistic insecurities and flaws. The romance is believable and the sex scenes are incredibly hot. All in all, it is a wonderful first installment in the Hope series that will leave fans eagerly awaiting future releases.
