I really loved watching these two rediscover why they worked so well when they were a couple and also figuring out what came between them in the first place.  I loved these two so much, Richard likes being in control and Todd thrives on that.  Even though this book is on the shorter side and I finished in one sitting, it is one of those that I know I will be re-reading many times, like when I need a hug.  Just like most all of Cardeno’s books this is one I definitely recommend if you want something sweet, hot in that alpha male “just do what I say cause I know what is best for you” way.  You won’t regret it.

 I love the way CC can take two slightly damaged men who are either a little or a lot lost and bring them together, showing them that yes - Love does have a place in everyone's life.  This was one hot book and I enjoyed seeing in control Asher lose control for Daniel.

Another great book and for me it was made better by the fact that these two men were so different, not just in species or in looks, but in the way they interacted with each other, that they did complement each other perfectly. This is a great read and I highly recommend it

Sinfully Addicted to All Male Romance

Seeing their relationship develop is so sweet and hot and wonderful. This is absolutely a sort of fairy tale, in the best possible sense, where all the obstacles are overcome, the lovers are able to be together, and the world is righted through the sheer will of their desire to be together. It’s a fairy tale all right, and I ate it up with a spoon!

Reviews by Jess Wave

Cardeno C's books are like a balm to my soul. I don't mind angst and drama when I know the payoff is a glorious HEA. ...This book blends tenderness with hawtness (CC's trademark!). ...The secondary characters, especially Samuel's gentle father, were wonderful! There was some conflict and angst, but once the guys found each other, they didn't let go! Wonderful writing, wonderful wolves, wonderful book!
