Short, sexy and steamy are my three favorite colors!

I love Cardeno C.'s writing and I usually end up with a massive smile after being swept away by gorgeous writing and a romance that makes your heart sing and sweeps you along with the characters.  This was no exception: beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this was certainly a beauty in more ways than one.

I must say though that when reading this light, short read, it had a dreamy quality to it. I cannot really put the right words on text, but it was like I was participating in the events that unfolded in a quality very dreamlike and quite blurry. It felt so good and in spite of the sensitive topic involved, it left me with a feeling of such great HOPE. Something which could only be felt during hopeful holidays like Christmas....There was something magical about this story that speaks of love, commitment, hope and faith. Yes, this is a very short and light read but it was bigger than the quantity of the text.  It made me think deeper and it reached out to something deeper inside me (and hopefully other readers). It teared up quite a bit but as the story was not sad, it was good tears. Hopeful tears. It was a beautiful.

McFarland's is a beautifully written romantic-without-going-cheesy fairy tale novella about a gentle beastly bear loving his beauty. The great thing is that both men did not jump the creek and go for it, they went with the flow, fighting their attraction through the getting-to-know-each-other stage before they finally succumbed. Yes, theirs is a beautiful fairy tale romance that just made the 'awwws' fall from my lips and had me smiling goofy even as I write this. ....Lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely. **smilingoofy**

Warm, sensual, sweet and hot. Reg is a perfect guy. Maybe he's too perfect, but with Jeremy as his other half, he has to be. Jeremy is a spoiled brat, has tantrums and no idea how the real world works. But he doesn't know any better. When Reg points out his flaws, he genuinely tries to better himself. I liked how Reg's POV was written. He is funny and such a good person, his thoughts cracked me up sometimes. Jeremy broke my heart sometimes. He's insecure and lonely, even if he doesn't even know it. His life hasn't been his own until Reg takes over some of the control. It gives Jeremy the time to calm down and get a handle of his own life. It's so great to read how their relationship grows without Jeremy realizing it. ... Believe me, you want to read this story.
