Rough Edges is a tasty, romantic snack. 

I love CC's characters, even if they have asshole traits, they manage to make you love them ...Whilst there is a certain formula to CC's stories (love story with a happy ending), what's wrong with that - we all need a bit of happy in our lives, so for me it's a five star read. I adored this book.

When Ethan, a true underdog (pun intended), meets Miguel (a vampire) and realizes what made him weak might actually be fixed by the one he expected to cause his demise the premise is set for a very entertaining, and engaging, story. Miguel, as the centuries-old wise vampire and Ethan, as a sort of hick country fella, sure do not seem like mates. In fact it is the differences, and the acceptance of them from each other, that bring the strength to this novel. As things progress and prejudices (internal and external) are barreled through you have the opportunity to see how love can conquer all! As with the first in the series, Cardeno C. has done a masterful job weaving a complex story filled with all sorts of characters who clearly are themselves in Until Forever Comes. You really feel these folks; they take on a life of their own and their actions and words become cemented in your heart. The emotion is not punchy but steady, a build up that keeps you invested until the very end. In a world of overdone tropes this one brought freshness, uniqueness that set it above the rest. The writing here is really the draw; smooth, flowing, and well crafted it leads you on the journey. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to handle Ethan at all with his very sort of country boy persona and language but it grew on me and it was so much a part of him.…

Gah! If you want good MM Contemporary than Cardeno. C is your go to. Cardeno has written another great love story with a great meaningful story.

As always the sex is hot, the plot is tight, and the secondary characters make you yearn to know their stories. Cardeno C doesn't disappoint.
