Deep feelings and good characterizations are not easy to develop in such a short story, but the author manages it really well. Ethan pulled me in from the very start; while it was the initial humor that made me smile, it was his cluelessness that kept me reading. I wanted to know if he’d get it. And at the end, when he finally admitted how he felt, the depth of his emotions was very rewarding. If you like short, sweet stories with a (temporal) twist, you will probably like this one.

I absolutely ADORED these guys. ...They're a very cute couple... I really loved the fact that this was such a slow burn romance. At first, they're just friends. ...This story had a really nice, slow pace to it that fit the characters and their relationship well. It wasn't about sex for them but instead about love. It was so sweet!...I adored the characters and their slow development from friends to lovers. By the end of the story, I felt like I knew them. This is a sweet, slow-burn romance that is just that… a romance. It was light and funny in some places and just heavy enough in others but most of all, it was engaging and had a nice flow to it. I already feel the urge to re-read it!!

Please note that previous characters don't play a role so it can be read as a standalone. ...There's lots of vivid imagery in this well written and paced story ... There's plenty of emotion and angst, and the danger and betrayal is woven throughout the last half which keeps the pages turning. There are several twists, and we even learn a little more about pack history, which I enjoyed.

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.

I adored how relentless Isaac was in his pursuit of Rafi.
