I have to admit this is probably now my favourite story by Cardeno C because for me it had all the vital elements fitting together in such a short story. 

I liked the careful tenderness between the men that turns into intense passion.

These are fictional characters, I know that, but they are so REAL! The plot is romance, it is mushy, it sent me to the 'awwwwwww' land and yet, it developed in such a way that was unrushed and oh, so romantic! The erotic scenes (**fanningmyselfsilly**) was a rush I am still blushing. That Jason ~ he is one naughty, naughty MAN!!!! WHEW!!! As for the rest of it? Well, let me just say: FAN YOURSELF SILLY AND LAUGH YOUR HEARTS OUT! Romantic as heck! Funny it sent me to tears. And smiling so goofy, it really hurts!

I found the novel to be a super enjoyable, modern, thought-provoking take on the evolution of a relationship between two adults, both of whom bring their own characters, problems, and, sometimes selfish, needs to the table.... the characterization and style of writing really draw you into the story, making it a thoroughly enjoyable and absorbing read. In Jason and Abe, Cardeno C. has created two characters you care about from the get go, while the witty banter, hot sex scenes and the depiction of their everyday domestic life make you really believe and support them as a couple.

Extremely well-developed characters, minor characters who helped contribute to the story, great dialogue, and solid relationship development made this a fantastic story!
