I loved this story. Rich and Todd are so damn cute together. Rich is big and tough and Todd is smaller, but so much fun. They complement each other perfectly. I can’t wait for the next in the series!

Two Book Pushers

In typical Cardeno style, we have a really sweet story of two fun and interesting people. We get a bit of hot smexy times, some humor, and a really touching “awww” for an ending. I have to hand it to people who can aptly create a fully developed story in only a few words. This is absolutely one of them! Despite it’s short length, it felt very satisfying by the end.

The Blogger Girls

This is an interesting take on the age old story of shifters.  One pack has given up the old ways and teachings, the other still very much in tune. And because of this, one wolf is very confused and one is thrilled of the new life that’s about to began.

This was an incredibly sweet romantic story. It's one of those stories where you can believe that the two men will be together from the cradle to the grave and possibly beyond... I would definitely recommend this author and this book to anyone who loves a good romance. It makes you believe that each of us has that one person who completes us.

Cardeno C tells great stories. They're sexy, sweet, moreish and satisfying and that's why they get high ratings from me. A Cardeno book is my go to happy place when I want to read something really feel good. ...I always know that I'm going to get loveable characters, a great (hot) romance, a well thought out back story, just the right amount of conflict to stop the story going into the realms of saccharine, tummy rolling love scenes and last but not least; the perfect happy ever after that never fails to leave me sighing happily. ...I'm getting really enamoured with these recent paranormal, shifter books that Cardeno has started writing and the 'Mates' series is turning out to be a very addictive read. ...There was a fulfilling build up of sexual tension but this was when the passion and romance side of the story came into it's own and as always it was pure Cardeno magic.... The chemistry between them sparked, the heat level reached boiling point and the sex was cold shower worthy, but still, always bolstered by a real sense of romance and love.
