“To Touch You” by Cardeno C is an interesting twist on the forbidden love theme in multiple dimensions. Not only is there the crossing of the taboo line between shifters and vampires, there is Sal’s initial condition which makes him even more of an anathema, plus the rejection of the bond complicates things considerably. I love seeing how things start with foreshadowing of Yoram’s future role as he is calm and firm even at such a young age. It was fun watching him grow into the predictions for his future and I ached at his determination to care for his mate. 

I enjoyed these stories immensely and the narration of the audio book seemed to fit perfectly for me. I felt so deeply for the characters and their experiences, getting consumed by their journeys to find true love. Cardeno C can write such powerful love stories and these two definitely lived up to my expectations. As with any time I finish a CC book, I’m looking forward to what is coming next!

Blue Mountain had plenty of character interaction along with the perfect blend of heart tugging moments, passion and humor.

Another winning read from Cardeno C albeit a shorter one.... but this endearing and tender shifter book never felt stunted or rushed, in fact it really grabbed me emotionally and within a couple of its chapters actually had me having a little weep.... The love scenes were as sweet and tender as they were hot and steamy...The sex never fails to sizzle but there's always a romantic, loving feel underpinning it too which I think really shows up in this particular storyline. For such a short story it packed a pretty emotional punch....Short, sweet, sexy, soulful and very satisfying. I loved it.

Overall, this is a fluffy, fun, and HAPPY read about two charming Jewish boys falling in love, a perfect ending to a sexy, romantic series.
