To Touch You is the fourth book in the series and although it runs partly parallel with the third book (In Your Eyes), it can absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone. If you are a fan of this series you will not be disappointed as all three couples from the previous books are present and have great scenes together. If you are new, like me, you will have fun getting to know everyone and learning about life in CC’s shifter/vampire universe.

Every time I read a Cardeno C. book, I am left teary-eyed, smiling and utterly fulfilled. 

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

As with all of this author's work, you are captivated from the first word to the last. ... So, this story is told over a fifteen year timeframe and is told from all three men's POV starting with Charlie's. The way CC was able to set the stage for the story to be told was brilliant for they're not simply telling it. ...This story will pull so many emotions from you; heartache, happiness, triumph, loss; you go through and feel them all with Charlie or Chase as it was. You will absolutely adore these characters, but not all of them and certainly, not right away. ... The journey Charlie takes through life is a painful one, but the roads that he travelled took him exactly where he was meant to be. ... There are so many delicious layers to his wonderful story. The characters and their storylines are blended together perfectly. This book is an engrossing and, at 234 pages, substantial read. I highly recommend this book in addition to others written by this author. This is a definite must read.

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!
