Jay: Sometimes a cute, sweet, and low-drama story with an unlikely pairing is the perfect way to spend the day. That’s exactly the sort of book Cardeno C.’s Not a Game is. Kim: The author has an engaging writing style that pulled me right in and made me fall in love with these characters. Oliver was a unique hero, and I could not help but feel for him....This book made me smile often and believe in the saying that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Reviews by Tammy and Kim

When I want sweet, sexy and satisfaction guaranteed it's never a hard choice if CC is involved and once again I got exactly what I wanted ...I have to put a big emphasis on the "sexy" this time. OH MY! I have to say, Jason and Abe sizzled between the sheets...and the dirty talk...WOWSER!!! ... Jason and Abe's story really encompasses the true meaning of the title of this series because this is a book all about family values and I loved how by finding his true family in Abe, Jason finally found himself and a way to reconnect and redeem himself with the people who he truly loved but couldn't fully give himself to. So CC has delivered again and I got my feel good fix with a side order of off the scale hawtness that could melt the buttons off a fireproof nightie!!

Sinfully Sexy Books

It has emotional ups and down, and characters that really come alive. I really adore that about this author's work the way the characters really jump off the pages and the emotional connections can be felt.... The story has a great pace to it, lots of emotional connection and the ending left me feeling like this family really was headed in the right direction.

Perfect Imperfections reminds us that for all of our flaws, there is someone out there who finds our imperfections perfect. Love isn't about finding someone perfect, but rather about finding that person who is perfect for you. This is a beautifully written love story with plenty of humor and super-hot meaningful sex. I know I will read this book again … many, many times. Cardeno has definitely made a new fan and I cannot wait to read more of this author's work.
