Cardeno C. Definitely knows how to write a story that captivates you from page one and keeps you enthralled till the last page. The scenes are vividly detailed and characters are well-developed.

Rainbow Gold Reviews

Cardeno has written such a feel-good story, and it's wonderful watching sweet, deserving Spencer finally believe he's strong enough and deserves this treasure of Emilio and his family.

Ok I've made it perfectly clear how much I freakin' adore stories from this author like crazy and this was no exception. You get lovely story with just the perfect amount dirty to get you hot and bothered. ...as per Cardeno C's criteria, you get a lot of sweetness and steam between them. Finally I can't forget the dirty talk. Damn, Jason had a naughty mouth and he didn't hold back using it AT ALL!!! Seriously Hawt. I totally recommend to ... anyone looking for a well-rounded and entertaining story.

I just adored this story because it was a tale of star-crossed lovers – a vampire and werewolf- who somehow overcome all prejudice and make things work. It is romantic, sexy, sweet and sooooo wonderful. I definitely recommend it.

Truly, this is one of the nicest books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I simply loved the characters – I am a sucker for decent people – the story, the humour, the build to what was to come, what the reader is hoping for, a realisation of what they had both built, where they had come to. And also, I have to be honest, the lovemaking, for that's what it was. I simply adored the layout of the book with the wedding invitations at the start of chapters. The weddings that Seth Cohen officiates are just so inventive and dare I say it, some are probably close to being true. This is the end of a series and no author could hope to finish up with two more wonderful characters and on such a beautiful note. Highly recommended reading.
