“To Touch You” by Cardeno C is an interesting twist on the forbidden love theme in multiple dimensions. Not only is there the crossing of the taboo line between shifters and vampires, there is Sal’s initial condition which makes him even more of an anathema, plus the rejection of the bond complicates things considerably. I love seeing how things start with foreshadowing of Yoram’s future role as he is calm and firm even at such a young age. It was fun watching him grow into the predictions for his future and I ached at his determination to care for his mate. 

GAHHHHHH. Cardeno C got me again with Rough Edges. Two more boys to add to my list of favorites. I’m a sucker for a friend/enemy story. Rich pretty boy Brent and brooding hard working Kyle. Talk about polar opposites, but you can’t always judge a book by its cover especially when it comes to these boys. They are so much more then what they want us to see…..
It’s amazing how much information and character development CC can put in a short story. Definitely a fun, flirty and hot read

Its is a feel good book and will leave you swooning!

Highly enjoyable book full of humor with a sexy and tender romance that develops over time....I loved Seth and Eli as characters and how their relationship develops over time from friends to lovers. ... It's rare in romance reading to see a true friendship in leads and I adored this aspect of the novel. However, that isn't to say their relationship doesn't turn spicy when they're both ready for it, after all, this is a Cardeno C novel! ...But even better than the well written sexual chemistry is the emotional intimacy between Eli and Seth. ...I think humor is extremely difficult to convey, especially in a romance novel but this novel had many laugh out loud moments for me.

Beans:  I really loved this book. ...mostly it was about two men finding each other. ...Just two men who became wonderful friends, lovers, and then partners. A beautiful book full of love and life.Nina:  This is a fantastic book ...This book rocked the sexy, fun and the behind the scenes look at the talented artist. ...I enjoyed the ease of the friends to lovers aspect of their romance. There was sexual tension and a slow, sweet build up to them moving to a sexual relationship that allowed time for the trust and emotional intimacy to develop....It all comes together so beautifully and I was left in awe of Cardeno C's ability to take a slightly implausible scenario and make me not only believe it, but rejoice and run out and tell people how wonderful this story is.
