For me, the characters-especially the main characters-are the driving factor in determining if I like a story or not.  That's one of the reasons I keep coming back to Cardeno C.'s books...I know I'm going to get wonderful characters who are complex and deep, and with distinct personalities.  I'm also going to get characters that are easy to relate to, and that is clearly illustrated here in Not A Game.

This book was simply music to my ears, right down to the most non-descript moan.

I loved the relationship that Jeremy and Reg had. Reg was his protector in many ways....Jeremy was cute and adorable and so naive at times...It was fun to watch these two form their friendship. ...The two of them were so perfect together. This was a really cute, light fun read.

If you're already a fan, it's a must read/listen. If you've never read this author's work before...well, what better way to start than with a brand new series with sexy, growly shifters.

Now that was a sweet and sexy read! Whew! This is my first book by this author but won't be my last. I didn't read the first one and followed along just fine so no worries there. ... I liked a lot of things about this book. The sex was hot and frequent. ... Both men accepted their attraction easily despite everything being against them. I love a vicious vamp and these were definitely that with a dash of compassion. ... Ethan's POV was very distinct with his dialect and word usage. I smiled almost every time he said pecker. ... I liked this book. If you're in the mood for a steamy vamp and wolf romance then I'd recommend it.
