Jumping In is a really good, quick read that will sate your need for heat, even if it comes across as kind of insta-lovey.

I just love the characters from this series, the familiar feeling I get when reading all my best friends, and catching up with where they are at right now.

This was an awesome, hilarious romance between three men. ... This story line hinted of pure romantic drama but for some reason, Cardeno C. did not do the usual and instead surprises us readers with a lot romance, lots of laughter, some ridiculously hilarious situations and the Lentils Misadventure. That particular chapter had me giggling and laughing so hard I was crying. Of course the dogs were kind of weirded out as I was doing that at 3 a.m. Yes, 3 in the morning! Once I picked this up again after a suddenly and unexpectedly busy day, I just could not put it down. ... More Than Everything is an incredible story of love, humor and life. It has topped all of the other books written by the author, become my Family Series favorite, and set up the bar higher of readers' expectations for the author's future works.

All up this is an incredibly feisty, tear inducing, at times heart rending love story about two young men who have earnt the right to love and live in peace. I absolutely recommend this book to every m/m romance reader out there!

As I am writing this review, I am realizing this book has a bit of a Romeo and Juliet feel. Two lovers from opposite worlds with families that hate one another, destined to be together despite their differences and the disapproval of others. It is subtle, but definitely there as we explore the worlds of both vampires and shifters in this story. I just love that combination, and author Cardeno C does a great job creating this world where the two exist as enemies. ... It was an interesting take on these two paranormal groups and one that was well developed. But the highlight of this story for me is Ethan and Miguel. I just adored both of them. Ethan is a force to be reckoned with. Despite being small and sick and much younger than Miguel, he has determination and passion for what he believes. Once Ethan realizes Miguel is his mate, he doesn't hesitate one moment in his conviction that they are meant to be together. He is willing to give up his old life and march himself right into Miguel's, despite Miguel's bewilderment at this force of nature. ....I just adored Ethan. Despite being small and young, he is brave and committed and full of determination. I found him incredibly endearing and couldn't help but root for him. Miguel is also a great character. He is the fiercest of all the vampires, old and powerful and dangerous. But he treats Ethan with such care and love right…
