Reviews

I fell completely in love with Tanner and Steve.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend “Jesse’s Diner”.  It’s just another great story by one of my new favorite authors.

Cocktails & Books

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

Multitasking Momma

This is pure FLUFFY goodness, people. Put your shades on and get ready to smile.

My Fiction Nook

Cardeno C has the knack of being able to tell her stories from the heart like no one else can. She puts her characters before her readers, naked and unashamed of who they are,even if they are shy or lacking in some other areas. Sex scenes are abundant in all these novels, but they are well done, intimate, sexy and smoulder like they are supposed to if they are to move the story along. Cardeno uses the conflict between the main two characters to get a rise out of the reader, to make them wonder what will happen next, and book three of the series has done this and so much more.

Love Romance Passion

This story was a delight to read - whether it was the hot and smexy bedroom/kitchen/living room scenes or whether it was a lunch date with Jason's ex-wife, the intensity of the emotions was there all the way. You laughed when they laughed, you felt your heart twinge at Jason's cluelessness as he tries to find his way in the dark and do the 'right' thing. You will probably be amazed (as I was) with Abe's quiet strength and how he knows which battles to fight and which to leave.
