Loved, Loved, Loved this book! It was the perfect quick read and hit all my squishy feelings.....Two strong men with healthy sex drives and a weekend of nakedness!

It's a very short, sweet story that makes you smile and sigh and - just as all Cardeno's stories do - feel good inside.

Cardeno C.'s moving and insightful novella, A Shot at Forgiveness, provides a rather different view of the bullying many gay and lesbian children and teens are forced to endure. ... Is it credible that in some situations the bully is more confused about and tormented by his sexuality than his victim? In my own view, for whatever it's worth, that might explain more than a few cases of bullying. Without including spoilers in this review, I can say there are even more surprising turns in A Shot at Forgiveness than a famous and wealthy NBA MVP's making contact with his former victim. I can also affirm that the way Cardeno C. shapes the story makes them all believable. They certainly don't happen every day, but who'd wish to write or read about every-day matters? I must also praise Cardeno C.'s writing style... Rafi and Isaac's story won me over. I highly recommend it.

Sigh. This was so yummy and romantic and sexy, I just loved it. Cardeno C has created such a wonderful friends to lovers story here in Perfect Imperfections. I loved these guys together from the very beginning. They are such a perfect match for one another...Almost the whole book focuses on the two men developing their friendship and ultimately their romantic relationship within the very close confines of their travel together. This works so well with the story as the reader is just drawn right in to the intimacy these men have created. I could just feel the bond between them and loved watching these men interact....So this was another big hit from Cardeno C for me.  I absolutely adored Reg and Jeremy completely. They are such a wonderful couple together and meet each other's needs so perfectly. I really loved watching both their comfortable friendship and their romantic relationship grow over the course of the book. Wonderful story and highly recommended.

I absolutely loved it! ...Reg is an amazing character and I just loved the whole package. He was so clued in to Jeremy it was gorgeous to see revealed, in one fabulous chapter after another, the love developing between these two gloriously divine men. It was one of those books you just could not put down and everything stopped so you could continue to be lost in the beautiful romance evolving. The vulnerability of Jeremy just took my breath away... When he was hesitant in asking for a hug my heart just melted and immediately Reg stepped in and just gave whatever Jeremy needed. He was wonderful for nurturing what Jeremy needed and his protector. Oh I so loved this book and these men! When Jeremy finally opens up and accepts who he is and the relationship stepped up to another level I was rubbing my hands with glee. Oh and the sexy times that then took place – oh my GEE! A brilliant sweet and sexy read that has left me with a serious book hangover and a ‘you must read this book' recommendation. Five stars plus.
