Reviews

If you like stories about men who try to redefine their places in life when they meet, if you enjoy a nice twist or two, and if you're looking for a read with characters who are as passionate as they are loving, then you will probably like this book.

Rainbow Book Reviews

This story is so intense, and Cardeno C.'s amazing storytelling keeps you going until the end, when all is explained.

The Novel Approach Reviews

A touch of tension, a dash of discord, a steady stream of sizzle and steam, and some off the charts chemistry, makes this highly entertaining and another winner for me.

Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews

This author came highly recommended to me, and even still, I was completely unprepared for how much I enjoyed this book. The plot was well crafted and paced - just the right amount of detail to hook me - and characters that I absolutely adored....I truly enjoyed watching these two dance around each other so much that even when they finally gave in to the sexual tension, the scene was still profoundly romantic. Each fed a need in the other, and it thrilled me that no matter how stressful circumstances got, they made the effort to communicate and deepen their relationship. This book really revolved primarily around the developing romance between these two characters, so if you're a fan of a good character driven piece, I'd highly recommend Perfect Imperfections by Cardeno C - it's a fabulous piece that sucks you right in from the first word to the last!

Redz World Reviews

Once again Cardeno C. has written a very lovely story about true love. So far I have loved every single story of Cardeno C. They are quick to read and jam packed with emotion and heart.
