Jason's journey was so powerful, in the end he knows he wants Abe in his life ...in the end the way Jason folds Abe into his family, the family Jason wasn't sure he would ever have was powerfully poignant. Jason learned that family is about love; the kind of love that grabs your heart, makes your toes tingle, and is all encompassing...this story warmed my heart, touched my soul and made me believe in love!

A very unusual pairing in the shifter genre and I soon learned that the two authors happily left behind any shifter cliche I could think of :) The hawk alpha may be strong, but he's also small like avian shifters in this book tend to be. He is also a control freak, who craves to release the control in bed. The bear shifter is even stronger and dominant in his human form when he is in bed with his lover, but he is usually completely tame and couldn't hurt a fly as it seems. He's even a vegetarian (like me – yay!) and it makes for very striking oppositions between the characters! …I loved that they aren't just opposites, they complete each other and there was a lot of chemistry from the very first time they met… One of my favorite aspects was the different take on bonds. Well, let's say the different perspective one of the MCs had. Insta-love is usually not my cuppa, so I applauded him for not letting fate determine his destiny but for wanting to take destiny into his own hand and make his own decisions… The animal halves seemed to be a big part of the characters and I loved the mythology of this world and the heartbreaking backstory of one of the MCs. I also really enjoyed the secondary characters in this town and it was fun to watch the characters interact ;) … I can really recommend this book. Try something that's…

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.

This book kind of sweeps into the readers' minds who ultimately gets swept into the author's tale willingly. ... The best parts of this story was really the relationship of Emilio had with his family and it was quite understandable that Spencer was envious of it that he really wanted to become a part of it. The rough housing type of sibling fun between the brothers and in-law was hilarious and their closing in as a unit to protect Spencer was incredibly sweet. ...This is romantic fiction at its best. I just fell for this whole idea of what love can be and how falling in love can be likened to a lightning strike. Needless to say, I fell asleep with a big smile on.

Jonathan is the innocent boy who is smacked in the face with reality only to discover that it's not all black and white as he once thought. ...Then there's David, the genuine good guy. If you don't look at his past issues with commitment and see him as he is with Jonathan, David is the ideal perfect man. ... I enjoy the sense of family in this story. ... This story is one of my favorites. ... The thing that sets Love at First Sight apart from the others in this series is the romantic notion of seeing someone who changes your life in one glance. This story is about dreaming and how those dreams change as life happens around us. It's about the decisions we make and how they shape our future. It's a story of struggle and fear that leads to beauty and happiness. This is a story of hope and wonder and of unconditional, unwavering love and loyalty. And I shall not forget to speak of the humor. Not only is this story sweet and dramatic, but it has it's laugh-out-loud moments. ... I love these guys. I love the fictional world that this author has created with this series. And I adore this sweet, sweet story. I recommend you read Love at First Sight by Cardeno C.
