There were so many things I loved about this story. I love how Jobe’s presence and calm is able to comfort Wes. I love how patient Jobe is with Wes until he finally sees. I absolutely love their HEA.

Overall, a great book, great narration and can’t wait for more from both of them!

This book is a beautiful balance of heartbreak, romance, eroticism, political intrigue, action and mystery.

I loved this book! ... The characters are adorable and sexy, sweet and passionate, and did I mention sexy? Right. Emilio is just one of those characters I couldn't help but love. He is tall, dark and handsome. Sexy and confident, without being arrogant. ... Spencer is a sweet, shy, intelligent college math professor and very innocent in some ways even though he is thirty-eight years old and has been in relationships before. ... I loved how Emilio tuned into Spencer's discomfort and talks about the repairs and renovations that Spencer wants to do to his home, to help him relax. ... I loved Emilio's family, his brothers are a hoot and I enjoyed the dynamics between them. ... While reading this book, I laughed, had teary moments, felt angry (Peter) but over all it made me very happy. It is a lovely, sweet, feel good romance that touched my heart with characters I thoroughly enjoyed.

Strong Enough by Cardeno C. was a beautiful sentimental love story that kept me warm inside and put a smile on my face. I loved the younger confident man meets shy older professor story line. ... The dynamics between Emilio and Spencer flew off the pages as their synergy meshed and their personalities complimented each other. .. Strong Enough held the meaning of life; who one falls in love with can't always be helped, a family should always be on your side (even though that doesn't always happen), but if there is strength of will and character, love will be found. Cardeno C. wrote this strength in Emilio and Spencer and happiness prevailed. Strong Enough flew to this reviewer's top ten list of favorite books.
