This is one HOT SEXY little read. .... I love how much emotions are in Cardeno's stories and how connected I feel to the characters. ...A short, sweet novel of romance and a happily ever after. Two misunderstood characters who take the time to get know one another instead of falling immediately into bed is a refreshing, and welcome, change from the norm.

If you're already a fan, it's a must read/listen. If you've never read this author's work before...well, what better way to start than with a brand new series with sexy, growly shifters.

a really enjoyably sweet yet hot romance between ... endearing characters. ... What I loved about Cardeno's version of this type of fantasy romance ... was that for a good part of the story we just see these two guys actually getting to know each other as friends. No instant lust or love with these two. That slowly filters into the plot as the book rolls along...The yummy sexual tension is still there, but its paced out brilliantly across the book, getting stronger and more steamily sexy as the initial easy friendship between the MC's starts to turn into something deeper and more realistic as they spend their time together. The banter and conversation between JJ and Reg showed the depth of their chemistry together at each stage of the relationship. ....When that time arrives in the book, the heat level rockets and those love scenes that you've waited patiently for will definitely get you all hot and bothered and wanting to cool off in a cold shower!...There's some conflict and a touch of angst thrown in here and there but ultimately this is just a really endearing love story that makes you feel good and gives you the warm and fuzzies.

I really enjoyed the world that was created and I absolutely ADORED Johnnie. I also liked how Hugh taught Johnnie how to be a lion and showed him everything he was missing. I can't wait to see what comes next in this series and hope we don't have to wait too long for it!

This was such a character driven story. I liked that it was a slow burn book. That Jeremy and Reg took the time to be friends before they became lovers. It was sweet and sexy and it was just right. There wasn't much angst in this story and It would have been so wrong to have it there. This book was just perfect the way it was. These two guys were so sweet together. I loved how they took their time falling in love with each other. They had a nice basis of friendship and allowed their feelings to grow from there. This was a really nice feel good book and you will not be disappointed in reading this story. If you're looking for something fun and sweet and just a bit sexy….this is the book for you.
