When I read To Touch You, I didn’t realise it was part of an established series, so I can honestly say that it can be read as a stand-alone novel despite being the fourth book in the Mates Collection.

Cardeno C does really good sexy times and this book is no exception.

This is a sweet, fluffy, feel good read -- just what we want most in a Cardeno book. I definitely recommend it.

I enjoyed it very much. It was fun and easy, light and fluffy. It was the story of two men who become friends, then lovers, then fall in love....They have fun together, in bed and out, slowly building a friendship and love, and what will hopefully be a long life together. There is very little drama in this story... This is just a happy book, it made me happy to read it. When it was over I sighed and thought awwww…. I liked that!...It was sweet, and fluffy, an evenings reading pleasure. There is no deep dark story here, no drama, no tears, just a nice story. Well written, good characters, good sex, very enjoyable.

Cardeno C. is quickly becoming my go to author for gay romance stories that are rich in dialogue and plot with steamy scenes meant to enhance the relationship of the main characters not consume it... the intermingling of the storyline and the passion Jason and Abe share for each other inside the bedroom flow seamlessly together. ...Abe is such a fantastic character, and he's also the perfect man to show Jason that he can have the family and the kind of relationship that he wanted all those years ago. ...I love the fact that there wasn't a big blowout or betrayal in the book; Jason struggled enough trying to figure out what he truly wanted and if he was ready to take that step, so I'm glad nothing else was added into the mix to mess it up. It's the perfect feel good romance story about one person who finally figures out what he wants and the guy he wants it with and the courage to finally step up and take it.
