Cardeno's contemporary seems to do it for me. I wanted possessive alpha that is intense in getting their man. It's exactly what was delivered. It's short enough not to bore and read in between novels....Recommended for smutsters who want to read something possessive, hot and sweet all at the same time.

An absolutely delightful, sweet, sexy romance ...A great way to spend a couple of easy, relaxing hours reading.

Narrated by Robert M Clark, my first listen with this narrator but it won't be my last. I liked that he used different tones for the various characters...I liked the content, characters and the way any story CC writes pulls me in and holds my attention.

This was an amazing story and I fell in love with Oliver and Jaime and their full of Feelz relationship! ...If you have not ever had the privilege of reading a book by CC this is the perfect book to start. Those of us who are Cardeno C fans will love this story and the connection created between Jaime and Oliver. ...This wasn’t an insta-love story but one that was semi-realistic (maybe more than that, if people hire escorts to teach them how to be better at sex) and allows the reader to believe in happily-ever after for ordinary people!

The incredibly strong emotions throughout this whole story kept me from wanting to put the book down. The author did a magnificent job of making the emotions--from anger to depression to lust--leap off the page with the characters. The story went from being sweet and innocent... to desperate and angry...The other component of the book that was written exceptionally well was the relationships. In a short amount of time, I could feel how important the friendship between Kai and Abel's parents was and how upset Abel's parents were to lose their friends. There is a fierce and protective relationship between Kai and Kelly, and a fun and honest relationship between Abel and his brothers. Abel also has a dynamic relationship with his parents. And, of course, the relationship between Abel and Kai that spans the entire spectrum of emotions. This was a very fulfilling story that contained love, heartache, bitterness, hatred, revenge, humor, and forgiveness.
