Very well written, with lifelike characters and situations, there were no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt the reading flow. This is a novella, so it is obviously fast-paced. For a sweet/hot short story, then I can definitely recommend it.

Cardeno C. takes a taboo subject and weaves it into a beautiful love story.  I truly enjoyed this book

I LOVE this book. I've read it and listened to it dozens of times. The chemistry between Ethan and Miguel is both really hot and so tender and sweet - the perfect combination!

Jason was such an extraordinary character to get to know. ...Confident and honest to a fault, he was clear as to who he was and what was to be expected of him. .....Abe was a great character too. I admired his tenacity, his caring heart and the patience he found in himself when it came to dealing with Jason. ...Cardeno didn't pull any punches in bringing forth the connection between these two. Through every stilted conversation, honest interaction and heated encounters Abe and Jason's connection never failed to be present–always growing deeper, bringing them closer each time. ...I expect it's not an easy feat to bring all these elements to the page, but Cardeno brought it all together seamlessly without taking away from any one of the elements involved. The emotions were present, intense yet subtle and correctly portrayed. The romance was slow-building but firmly established and developed. And of course, the chemistry was explored in many different ways. Cardeno managed to not only bring the heat to these scenes but also brought into it the complexity of the characters–what made them tick, what they yearned for and how emotionally invested they were in what they were sharing. Be it their first heated embrace, their flirty banter or just a simple look, Jason and Abe's chemistry jumped off the page and their emotions made themselves known.

over all this romance and this couple kept me reading right up until their happily ever after....Jeremy and Reg connect right off the bat. They have great chemistry and banter and Reg seems to know exactly how to manage the high-maintenance Jeremy....I loved how their relationship slowly developed into a very deep friendship and then eventually into an intense love affair....They are fun, incredibly sweet and once they enter into a sexual relationship, smoking hot....This friends to lovers romance was so sweet and endearing that I would recommend to any lover of contemporary m/m romance.
