I was totally in the mood for some sweet M/M contemporary romance and Not a Game delivered. It so delivered. This one is on the top of my Cardeno C. favorites list. If you need an angst-free, loving romance with some hot sex, Not a Game is perfect.

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.

If you like stories about men who try to redefine their places in life when they meet, if you enjoy a nice twist or two, and if you're looking for a read with characters who are as passionate as they are loving, then you will probably like this book.

It's hard for me to believe that I'm already at book six in Cardeno C.'s 'Home' series and I love each and every book just as much as the prior ones. This author has a way of making every story unique, sexy, loving, emotional, and just plain wonderful. 'The One Who Saves Me' centers around a deep and abiding friendship that begins to change and the issues that can arise. ... I'm running out of words to express how very much I love this author's work. Caleb and Andrew's story was so incredibly sweet and loving, while at the same time I just wanted to smack them both sometimes for not realizing what was right in front of them. When they did figure it out, well, I was so thrilled that what they'd been looking for was right there waiting and they got the happy ever after they both deserved.

Perfect Imperfections reminds us that for all of our flaws, there is someone out there who finds our imperfections perfect. Love isn't about finding someone perfect, but rather about finding that person who is perfect for you. This is a beautifully written love story with plenty of humor and super-hot meaningful sex. I know I will read this book again … many, many times. Cardeno has definitely made a new fan and I cannot wait to read more of this author's work.
