It's has CC's signature sweet romance, humour, and hotness so the only thing I didn't like about this story was that it ended far too soon (*tears*)

Cardeno C. lived up to the challenge and came up with a truly remarkable back story to the Mate series.

I adored Charlie as a narrator. He was humorous, witty, playful and honest. ... Charlie's narration is his larger than life personality and I couldn't resist his charm. Some books tell us characters are charming but this book not only showed me his charm but sucked me in with his charm. ... This is a book about people maturing and making decisions on who to build a life with. Though this romance has three people, it's not a ménage in the strictest sense as it isn't about sex really. Yes, the men do have sex together at novel's end (don't think I'm spoiling anything to say that in a Cardeno C. novel which always has trademark hot sex!) However, the relationship development between the three men is what this romance is about. It's fairly straightforward and certainly sweet as readers expect in a Cardeno C. novel.

The sexy times are hot, but also emotional, and while this book, like most from this author, rates high on the fluffy scale, I really like reading that kind of story.

I adored how relentless Isaac was in his pursuit of Rafi.
