The narrator, Alexander Collins, does an amazing job with the voice work on this book. We get not only distinct voices for each character, but there are subtle changes as they age over the course of the story. Pacing and style are some of the best, as those who have heard Collins’ narrations before have come to expect. Voices are strong and the interplay between them is a lovely thing to hear when handled by someone who obviously takes his voice work seriously. It adds a new layer to the story told by Cardeno C. We are treated to some top notch narration.

"To put it plainly - I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! The differences between Oliver and Jaime are there to see, and yet it still works. The attraction is instantaneous and hot. The connection is both comfortable and intense. Cardeno C. has managed to convey how not every body is perfect, but everybody is perfect for someone. With a mixture of romance, sexy scenes, heartbreak and humour, this book was a delight to read. Definitely recommended by me."

Cardeno C tells great stories. They're sexy, sweet, moreish and satisfying and that's why they get high ratings from me. A Cardeno book is my go to happy place when I want to read something really feel good. ...I always know that I'm going to get loveable characters, a great (hot) romance, a well thought out back story, just the right amount of conflict to stop the story going into the realms of saccharine, tummy rolling love scenes and last but not least; the perfect happy ever after that never fails to leave me sighing happily. ...I'm getting really enamoured with these recent paranormal, shifter books that Cardeno has started writing and the 'Mates' series is turning out to be a very addictive read. ...There was a fulfilling build up of sexual tension but this was when the passion and romance side of the story came into it's own and as always it was pure Cardeno magic.... The chemistry between them sparked, the heat level reached boiling point and the sex was cold shower worthy, but still, always bolstered by a real sense of romance and love.

Mary Calmes and Cardeno C., are these two authors who have decided to band together and create a sweet story of how two seemingly disparate men overcome the odds and end up complimenting each other in every way…This was an exciting, fun and erotic read for these two men's relationship was hotter than HOT! Their love affair was sweet and romantic yet never once crossed over onto the sappy-cheesy. Their solid relationship outside of their fated mating was what made me fall in love with both men.

I cried, cringed, melted and on a few occasions, laughed through this book and highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys romance that is not easily achieved, some angst and a lead character that is delightfully flawed that he seems perfect!
