I wrote this flash fic for Boy Meets Boy Reviews featuring the characters in Wake Me Up Inside. Enjoy! - CC
.
What I loved about these men and their story was CC’s ability to show their growth over time.
This is a sexually and emotionally charged story ...They're drawn to each other time and again and while the sex is off the charts there's an attraction that exists beyond the physical. Reading about these two men falling in love was so enjoyable for me. On the surface they're very opposites attract but at their core the men are so similar in their desires and in what they want out of a relationship. It was just such a moving and passionate read that I know I'll go back to it again and again.
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.
When Ethan, a true underdog (pun intended), meets Miguel (a vampire) and realizes what made him weak might actually be fixed by the one he expected to cause his demise the premise is set for a very entertaining, and engaging, story. Miguel, as the centuries-old wise vampire and Ethan, as a sort of hick country fella, sure do not seem like mates. In fact it is the differences, and the acceptance of them from each other, that bring the strength to this novel. As things progress and prejudices (internal and external) are barreled through you have the opportunity to see how love can conquer all! As with the first in the series, Cardeno C. has done a masterful job weaving a complex story filled with all sorts of characters who clearly are themselves in Until Forever Comes. You really feel these folks; they take on a life of their own and their actions and words become cemented in your heart. The emotion is not punchy but steady, a build up that keeps you invested until the very end. In a world of overdone tropes this one brought freshness, uniqueness that set it above the rest. The writing here is really the draw; smooth, flowing, and well crafted it leads you on the journey. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to handle Ethan at all with his very sort of country boy persona and language but it grew on me and it was so much a part of him.…
It's incredibly sad what parents do to their children with their phobias, bigotry and attitudes be they good or bad. It almost destroyed Ben trying to be everything to everyone. When he admitted it to himself and owned it that he was gay, that was when his life started to come together and he could live and breathe. I would recommend this book to all m/m romance story lovers.
