It was great how the author chose to write this story! It was both sad and thoughtful. To me age should not matter when it comes a relationship. What everyone else thinks doesn't matter. It's what the couple wants. ...Readers are in for a very Hot Romance and I loved it!
I really enjoyed this story and the slow build up of the relationship between Steve and Tanner.
Positively phenomenal! A unique spin on the friends to lover theme with an amazing relationship-based story. Andrew Thompson and Caleb Lakes meet and become the best of friends while young teenagers. The story takes us through the next 20 years of their lives as they maintain their status as best friends with benefits. The question is whether or not they can ever move past this point. I loved both of these very well developed characters. Caleb was sweet, charming, an amazing friend, and a very strong person. It was adorable how he always had to be dressed to perfection. Andrew is brilliant, graduating from school early and ultimately becoming a top neurosurgeon. He's extremely kind but also very lonely due to his brilliance. He longs for a permanent relationship, but repeatedly chooses men who cheat on him. ... By the time they figured it out, I was crying happy tears! If you enjoy an amazing friends to lovers with benefits theme with great dialogue, strong characters, and an interesting life journey, this more than fits the bill.
When Ethan, a true underdog (pun intended), meets Miguel (a vampire) and realizes what made him weak might actually be fixed by the one he expected to cause his demise the premise is set for a very entertaining, and engaging, story. Miguel, as the centuries-old wise vampire and Ethan, as a sort of hick country fella, sure do not seem like mates. In fact it is the differences, and the acceptance of them from each other, that bring the strength to this novel. As things progress and prejudices (internal and external) are barreled through you have the opportunity to see how love can conquer all! As with the first in the series, Cardeno C. has done a masterful job weaving a complex story filled with all sorts of characters who clearly are themselves in Until Forever Comes. You really feel these folks; they take on a life of their own and their actions and words become cemented in your heart. The emotion is not punchy but steady, a build up that keeps you invested until the very end. In a world of overdone tropes this one brought freshness, uniqueness that set it above the rest. The writing here is really the draw; smooth, flowing, and well crafted it leads you on the journey. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to handle Ethan at all with his very sort of country boy persona and language but it grew on me and it was so much a part of him.…
I loved this book. It is classic Cardeno C and that is always a good thing. .... Ethan has a great voice. An addictive blend of humor, self deprecation, loyalty, honor and a way of expressing his emotions that's very real. He had me laughing out loud a few times, I loved his sarcastic wit and intelligence. ... Miguel is beautiful. ... I adore big strong men that everyone is afraid of, but who are big mushy sweethearts around their lover.
