Narrated by Robert M Clark, my first listen with this narrator but it won't be my last. I liked that he used different tones for the various characters...I liked the content, characters and the way any story CC writes pulls me in and holds my attention.

Veronica – ☆☆☆☆ Not a Game demonstrates that life is about finding the perfect match for you and not some socially acceptable ideal. ...I love the message in this story and I had a great time reading it.

Sarah – ☆☆☆☆☆ I loved this. Original characters, an interesting twist on a familiar storyline, and absolutely no angst makes for a near perfect story. This classic Pretty Woman tale has a wonderful twist and is full of warm, fuzzy, feel-good happiness.

Angie – ☆☆☆☆☆ Sweet and low on angst, it was just wonderful. Shannan – ☆☆☆☆ I loved that the main character isn't perfect, sporting a ten-inch cock. I love the realism of the connection. It definitely isn't something you find in the fiction world. It was a refreshing change up.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆ All this author's books are wonderful, and this is another excellent read to add to the collection.... Deliciously hot, introverted, caring, thoughtful, and fun, the whole book is a veritable feast for both brain and heart. Loved it.

it completely surprised me…in a great way.

The incredibly strong emotions throughout this whole story kept me from wanting to put the book down. The author did a magnificent job of making the emotions--from anger to depression to lust--leap off the page with the characters. The story went from being sweet and innocent... to desperate and angry...The other component of the book that was written exceptionally well was the relationships. In a short amount of time, I could feel how important the friendship between Kai and Abel's parents was and how upset Abel's parents were to lose their friends. There is a fierce and protective relationship between Kai and Kelly, and a fun and honest relationship between Abel and his brothers. Abel also has a dynamic relationship with his parents. And, of course, the relationship between Abel and Kai that spans the entire spectrum of emotions. This was a very fulfilling story that contained love, heartache, bitterness, hatred, revenge, humor, and forgiveness.

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!
