Another Highly Recommended Story from The Mates Series by Cardeno C.

Highly enjoyable book full of humor with a sexy and tender romance that develops over time....I loved Seth and Eli as characters and how their relationship develops over time from friends to lovers. ... It's rare in romance reading to see a true friendship in leads and I adored this aspect of the novel. However, that isn't to say their relationship doesn't turn spicy when they're both ready for it, after all, this is a Cardeno C novel! ...But even better than the well written sexual chemistry is the emotional intimacy between Eli and Seth. ...I think humor is extremely difficult to convey, especially in a romance novel but this novel had many laugh out loud moments for me.

Mary Calmes and Cardeno C. are definitely both wonderful authors individually. I didn't know what would happen when they teamed up because they do have very different writing styles. In my opinion, they did a wonderful job of getting the story across and making me love the MCs and the supporting characters, as usual…. This definitely isn't a Mary Calmes book or a Cardeno C. book, but a good collaboration that had me turning the page as fast as I could.

It has emotional ups and down, and characters that really come alive. I really adore that about this author's work the way the characters really jump off the pages and the emotional connections can be felt.... The story has a great pace to it, lots of emotional connection and the ending left me feeling like this family really was headed in the right direction.

This is a must read for anyone that likes paranormal romance and shifter stories, especially if you are looking for something different at the core of the story.
