Reviews

I think the chemistry between them was great and the sex scenes were both hot and sweet 

Bayou Book Junkie

When I read To Touch You, I didn’t realise it was part of an established series, so I can honestly say that it can be read as a stand-alone novel despite being the fourth book in the Mates Collection.

All About Romance

I adored this. ADORED this. I loved how the author showed the immediate mating bond between the two, but also gave Simon reason not to believe in his own feelings. I loved how Mitch, the big Alpha wolf, the strong, silent protector, had a gentle and loving attitude toward Simon from the start, even though he was hurt when Simon, his mate, rejected him. He didn't give up, kept chipping away at the walls, slowly but surely. This is CC at the absolute best - a grandiose, romantic love story between two fated mates, without any contrived conflict, misunderstandings and other cliches we so often find in the books we read. It's the story of how one man quietly, persistently works his way into another man's heart, the mating bond working in his favor, but never taking choices away. As with all of CC's books, I was swept away by the wonderful, emotional writing, and closed this book with a sigh and a smile. Only Cardeno C. does this special brand of sweet, fluffy, fully satisfying romance.

My Fiction Nook

short, sweet and yet so beautiful. I just fell in love with these two men, found myself crying. Then once the drama was kicked and killed, it was smooth sailing to romance-land and I just got my goofy smile on, and on, and on....All of Me by Cardeno C. is just so beautifully written and it is a very light read. Again, one of the few novella length stories that did not leave me hanging for lack of information, and with characters and plot developing well, it did set my heart to pitter patter in the best way possible and I just grinned goofy. Yes, I did cry, but the story more than made up for the tears as it progressed. And I just fell in love, glad nothing could get past these two alphas once they bonded. The strength these two displayed - they are ALPHA! men. Hot! too...

Multitasking Mommas

I loved this beautiful love story between a man who is always in charge but whose control starts to fall apart the minute he meets a free-spirited man who just wants to be needed....Dare I say their chemistry is off the charts and the heat level of this romance is exactly where I wanted it. Sizzling. The romance was heart-warming as well. .... this is a fabulous read and I recommend it easily.
