Reviews

When I read To Touch You, I didn’t realise it was part of an established series, so I can honestly say that it can be read as a stand-alone novel despite being the fourth book in the Mates Collection.

All About Romance

McFarland’s Farm by Cardeno C. was a total feel-good story. I loved it from the moment I was introduced to the spoiled rich kid and to the pensive, yet friendly farmer. Cardeno C. has a style of writing that makes you fall in love with her characters and keeps you coming back for more. 

Dark Divas Reviews

I absolutely love a Caredeno C. book and the audio version of Johnnie did not disappoint.

Sexy Erotic Xciting

What we get here is an epic love story, a bit of magic and a poignant reminder that everything happens for a reason, even if that reason isn't necessarily known to you. The relationship between Shiloh and Travis was beautiful and sweet and committed, and I loved every minute of it. The sexy times were emotionally charged, and only made their connection stronger. ... What I got from Cardeno C. is a feel-good, sweet and fluffy magical love story. I needed it.

My Fiction Nook

I loved this book! It is fun, sweet, sexy, humorous, touching, sassy, playful, at times frustrating, but always entertaining. I laughed out loud, a lot. Charlie (Chase) Rhodes is an awesome character. ... I really enjoyed the way the author sets up the story. ... Charlie will always have a place in my heart as he is a truly vibrant and endearing character. I highly recommend More Than Everything.
