So many, many things made me happy in Cardeno C’s Rough Edges, but the biggest thing was how two men can learn and change their point of view. No huge changes in the characters, just an understanding that your beliefs can be wrong and maybe not everything is as straight forward as you thought.

Cardeno C.’s shifter books (all the different series) are my favorites! I love the world building and the unique properties that get revealed in this one! I won’t tell you what they are – and spoil your surprise – but they are fun and sweet and exciting!

The way Cardeno C writes this novella is no different to their other excellent storylines and building of the main characters – they grow and get to know each other.

What I liked most about this story is that in addition to the struggles of Jason and Abe trying a new relationship and facing Jason-centered hurdles, there are also real-life problems that have to be faced. What do you do about the kids? What do you do when your son is heading down the wrong path? And I loved that Angela, Jason's ex-wife and mother of his children, is a strong, loyal female character.

I enjoyed Eli's character as he attempted to get Seth to fall for him and it was only his young age that helped Seth keep him at arm's length. ....It was hard to define what the funniest part of the story was....Eli finally got his man, but it wasn't until he had given up proving that persistence does pay off! The love between Eli and Seth was beautiful and inspiring.
