The romance is so magnified, so spectacular, you can’t help but read with the kind of smile that makes your cheeks hurt from stretching.

Sweet and sappy and adorable. A feel-good story about second chances at love and trusting again. The book fully met the expectations I had formed based on the blurb, and thus succeeded in what it promised. ... I like the characterizations. ... I liked how the author created two very different characters, opposites in almost every aspect, and completely made it work. The naughty scenes were holy hot boysecks, but underlined with tons of emotions, and the dialogue felt organic and realistic. I also liked the supporting characters in Emilio's family and Spencer's friend. ... The author's voice (new to me) was lovely, the writing crisp and still emotionally charged. A great book with which to spend a few hours escaping from your own life.

I really loved watching these men change and meld together. Their relationship definitely isn't an easy one. They have to overcome their differences and their insecurities to make it work.

I would definitely recommend this book to not only m/m romance readers but to all romance story readers!

One of the many things that make this particular Cardeno book enjoyable is main character Samuel Goodwin. ...He's like a shifter Mr. Darcy. A shifter Mr. Darcy who hates Korban Keller.....He's never seen any proof that two males may tie together and therefore the possibility doesn't exist for him. Which makes it even sweeter when, after a series of dramatic events, Samuel finally realizes that what he's feeling is love....What I like most about this whole series is the way Cardeno deals with the ever popular shifter mates theme. As I stated above according to the shifter lore found in this series there is only one correct combination that makes up a mating; males and females. But Cardeno shows that not only can two men love each other, two men, even two species within the series, can complete each other..... this book was the fluffy, romantic & sexy good time you can expect from a Cardeno C. book.
