This for sure is a story about growth, acceptance, and of course romance. I loved the way Sal’s character turned things around in the end. I enjoyed this addition to this series and recommend all of them!

I also loved the strong family themes that were pervasive in this story…Abe's relationship with his family, Jason's with his ex-wife and children, and the new relationships formed when they became a couple. Jason wasn't all that likable for quite a bit of the story and I loved having my opinion of him evolve as he did. It was one of the strengths of the writing. This transitions from steamy (off the charts) encounters to a relationship of substance that works on so many levels.

I loved Ethan. He's such a good person that his wholesomeness just overwhelmed me and made me want to wrap him up and take him home. Ethan is innocent but very stubborn, which I adored. Ethan knows how to trust and how to be loyal. What surprised me was that I loved Miguel, too. Miguel is not innocent and he doesn't trust well. He is fiercely protective and tender with Ethan. Miguel is the spice to Ethan's sugar. They were such a great representation of two halves of a whole. I loved, loved, LOVED this book. Everything about it from the incredible writing to the strong and fascinating characters just pulled me in and kept me turning pages. Now I'm sad because I've finished and I don't know when the next book in the series will come out. Much thanks to Cardeno for giving me another set of wonderful men to add to my list of favorite couples.

This book took me through a variety of emotions but the overall one I felt was 'happy'. This is what I have come to expect from these two authors – feel good stories that leave me smiling.

I love the way that Cardeno C. wrote this story, enabling the love to develop over time and in a romantic way. It was as beautiful as ever, just with a shifter twist. Cardeno C. stories are sweet yet sensual and 'Blue Mountain' is no exception.
