Kevin Chandler brought Kyle and Brent to life with his audio rendition of Rough Edges. ...a short story worth reading, as Cardeno C. never fails to deliver a wonderfully driven book.

I am NEVER disappointed reading a Cardeno C. novel and Not a Game hit the romance spot....Cardeno C.’s characters are down to earth and people we’d meet on the streets, and want to get to know. 

This was my first book by C. Cardeno and I absolutely loved it. It is definitely one of the best shifter books I have had the opportunity to read. 

This book gave me everything I was hungry for and didn't even realize I was craving! Make sure you have a strong sweet tooth before diving in. Emilio, oh my, Emilio. He's sex on legs – big, but gentle, tough but caring, young with an old soul, protective and irresistible all rolled into one wickedly hot package. ... Spencer. He's smart, shy, vulnerable, kind of messed up, completely bewildered as to why a young and sexy hunk would be interested in him, and thoroughly overwhelmed with Emilio's confidence and direct approach. ... I loved and adored these guys together. Their passion was enough to set off a raging forest fire. The age gap worked really well, especially having a super confident younger man going after the uncertain older man who carried some baggage. ... There's virtually no angst in this story and I ended up loving it that way. The relationship begins immediately and just grows stronger with each successive page. Whenever I'm craving a really good dessert, I'll be reaching for this story again. Definitely one of my favorites by this author and a keeper on my favorites shelf!!

Beans: The fight between these two makes for an incredibly enjoyable read. I love how Vy is fighting for his mate but also struggles with his desires. Robert and his fear of letting his bear control him, but Vy is pushing all his buttons, his human and shifter natures… Robert and Vy stop arguing and it turns into something else. Something beautiful and sexual with some deep cravings and it burns on the page. … I loved this book. It's fantastic and a great book to lose yourself in.Nina: Amazingly enough, these authors were able to create a story that surpassed all the hype. I adored every character and moment, there was not a false note, error or lose thread. This is one of the best writing partnerships that I have ever been blessed to read, the writing styles complimented each other and the two voices wove together seamlessly… Robert truly loved and appreciated everything about Vy and wanted to be with him, he just wanted their relationship to be as humans… They both want the same thing they are just coming at it from different places and calling it different things. But both men want to be together, they just have to find a way to compromise and see it from the other man's perspective. The sexual tension and desire between these men was delicious. When they give in to it and allow themselves to express their growing affection for each other it is amazing. The sex was hot,…
