I was totally in the mood for some sweet M/M contemporary romance and Not a Game delivered. It so delivered. This one is on the top of my Cardeno C. favorites list. If you need an angst-free, loving romance with some hot sex, Not a Game is perfect.

This was, truly, one of the best coming out journeys I've read and I loved taking it with Ben. I adored him and Micah, with the added benefit of seeing Ben grow closer to Noah and Clark. This was an excellent addition to the series and I'm so very glad the author wrote a story for Ben. Thank you, Cardeno, I loved it.

Watching David and Jonathan fall in love was intense and amazing.

Strong Enough is the new release in the Family series by Cardeno C. Please note it's a standalone, so the books can be read in any order. Okay. It's entertaining, sweet and charming. It's a true story of opposites attract. Some might say it's cheesy or even sappy but I don't care. I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't stop reading until I reached the end. Yes, there isn't a lot of outside conflict but poor Spencer is filled with enough personal angst to sink a relationship without any help from the outside. Thankfully he has the ever patient Emilio. The author did a great job developing the personalities and backgrounds of both men. The imagery is good, the flow's smooth and the emotions believable. Oh and the sex - steamy. I can usually pick a favorite character but in this case, I can't. I like them both. I hope you like the book as much as I did.

I loved Jason and Abe together. But what I loved was how real the two of them were. ...I loved watching Jason grow and see how much he felt for Abe. I loved watching them deal with the issues that they faced in their relationship. This is a sweet and very sexy story about two men finding love when least expected. ... Abe and Jason were very sexy together and Jason was sexy as all heck with his dirty mouth. But there was a real love story in between the sex and I loved it. Definitely a must read!
