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.

Beauty and heat. That's what this book is. It's a mix of passion and family and beliefs.

I really enjoyed the story and the characters in it. ...One thing I always like in Shifter stories and loved in this one is the bond between two mates destined to be together. It is hard to imagine anything more romantic than that. Of course the bond being unbreakable has a flipside; not even betrayal or a long time apart can diminish the pull. ...Overall this was a rather sweet, well written and very sexy paranormal romance.

Watching these two men come together and work to find a way to trust and love was incredibly beautiful and completely fed my romantic soul. Beautiful, romantic and wonderfully written! This author excels at writing compelling characters that you want to know in real life.

More Than Everything is my first read by Cardeno C., but it will definitely not be my last. I loved Charlie, Scott, and Adan's story. Even though this is primarily Charlie/Chase's story to tell, getting Scott and Adan's perspectives allowed for all sides of their relationships/experience to be explored, and it also allows readers to see the growth that occurs for all three of them when they reunite many years later...More Than Everything is a story that spans over twenty years, and in that time, readers get a insiders' view of all that Charlie has experienced and endured. Cardeno C. is a fantastic storyteller because the three perspectives are seamlessly woven together to ensure readers understand how all events have shaped the characters. With great character development, conversational storytelling, and steamy scenes that truly illustrate the depth of feelings involved, readers are in for a great read in the Family series.
