When you sign on to read a Cardeno C. novel, you are positive to get three things in return: first, a romance that is sweet and rewarding; second, a happy ever after that comes with very little angst or troubles; and third, a feel good emotional reward that leaves you smiling long after the novel’s end. Cardeno C. is a master at romance—sweet, sometimes sappy, yet always a complete story where boy meets boy, boy gets boy and they both live happily ever after....This author dares to create a happy ever after for an average guy, with an above average man who desires him. In the end, Not a Game becomes a magical fairytale romance that delivers all the feels and emotions with a twist—characters who are, for once, utterly real and worthy of love.

Wesley and Jobe were so perfect for each other and their pack. The depth that these two cared was heartwarming

I loved this little story! It was really short But packed a big punch! It was heartwarming. And had me feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside!

All in all I found this story to be heart breaking, loving, inspiring and uplifting which to me makes and incredibly good book definitely worth reading! I would recommend this book to all m/m romance story readers.

I loved watching the "faux-lationship" between Reg and Jeremy grow....Loved how Reg was with Jeremy. Yes at first he was there to see the world while acting as Jeremy's "pretend" boyfriend, but there was always something more between them. This is the first of Cardeno C's books that I have read, but I have already added a few more to my TBR list and to my Kindle.
