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.

If you’re a fan of Cardeno C, you know that there is never a lack of emotion in these books. Though it may take awhile for our MCs to admit it, the love, affection and devotion are clear in other ways.

What I Liked: Ethan may be the younger man here but he knows his mind and is willing to fight for Miguel which I loved. Ethan has a pure love for Miguel that allows no doubts or fears and I enjoyed this earnest romance. Miguel tries valiantly to send Ethan away, both because they're different species and because he doesn't think he's a good for Ethan but Ethan isn't having it. Ethan sees right through Miguel pitiful attempts to push him away and stands firm in his love and acceptance for Miguel and this made for a delightful romance in my opinion. The sexual intimacy is much more frequent and graphic than I remember in book one but since I love erotic romance that was a good thing. I also enjoyed how biologically Miguel and Ethan were destined to be true mates. This fact strengthened the insta-mate trope that is used here and makes it a tad different than other romances in the genre. What I Also Liked: I also liked the inclusion of Ethan's wolf pack and Miguel's vampire clan. Ethan is the runt of his pack and has been treated as such for years so to see Miguel stick up for him and truly value him was a just what I wanted. Miguel's dark nature is brilliantly showcased in how he deals with his clan when they cause potential harm to Ethan.

A story of love of life, love of fellow man and love of family - with all they bring - the easy and hard, the laughter and the tears, Strange Bedfellows is about opening yourself to the possibilities life throws at you and latching onto the opportunities that land at your feet.

This book was fan-freaking-tastic. ...I fell in love with this book so damn quickly. It made me laugh a lot... The relationship is so natural that it was a pleasure to read. I was giddy throughout the whole book; I loved watching JJ discover himself and loved the patience of Reg....I smiled so much, and even cried happy tears. I could see and feel the love between then developing and unfolding and that's pretty amazing. The story was well written...Watching it all unfold slowly, not rushed ... Great story, wonderful writing.
