In the end, as expected, we have a great, super sappy, wonderfully happy, and marvelously Cardeno story well worth the pain at the beginning.

Cardeno C. in all of C.C.'s fluffy, sexy, dirty-talking glory. I'll take a well done, smexy as hell C.C. book any day of the week.

I'd recommend this book for peeps that are looking for some sexy and sweet happy ending fairy-tale like romance in a pseudo-political setting.

Seth and Eli are wonderful characters. ...Eli's unrequited love and Seth's confusion and fear, they are two emotionally-driven characters. And so perfect for one another. I enjoyed Seth's journey of self-discovery. Finding and accepting himself and then accepting his feelings for Eli show Seth in a whole new, stronger, more confident light. And Eli's growth and maturity, his journey from child to man, is great. To see the lust-addled boy grow into an amazing, confident (still lust-addled) man is a beautiful part of this book. And to see those men dance around one another throughout their lives only to find each other at the perfect time. ... So, not only is this story a beautiful tale of true love, meant to be, soul mates - whatever you want to call it - it's also a hilarious peek into the life of a rabbi and his many adventures into weddings. I'm telling you guys, the "wedding curse" that Seth suffers had me rolling with laughter, tears running down my face.

It's a nice steamy read for those who are looking for something to fill that need.
