Every time I read a Cardeno C. book, I am left teary-eyed, smiling and utterly fulfilled. 

  The writer did a wonderful job of drawing the reader into the story. 

A beautiful love story between two people who slowly came together to become a perfect pair....The sex in this story was extremely steamy with a touch of rough play. The time they spent getting to know one another was fascinating. My favorite part of the story was watching Abe slowly become a permanent part of Jase's life without Jase even realizing it.....Another amazing and engaging story by Cardeno C. Although they don't have to be read in order, I have read and loved every single story in this series and recommend all of them.

This story is part of a series and can be read in any order. This is a brilliant story that tells us the tale of Miguel and Ethan who we met briefly in Wake Me Up Inside. ... Miguel and Ethan are wonderful characters, Ethan with his simple needs and plain words and Miguel with his badass attitude and need to protect Ethan. I can't tell you how much I adored Ethan and his easy attitude, his willingness to forgive others and how he wraps Miguel around his little finger without even trying. I loved Miguel's take no crap attitude and how, when he accepted his feelings for Ethan, he would do anything for him even when it goes against what he wants to do. I loved the easy storyline that has just a smidge of danger and the sex is hot and they are made for each other in every way, it just warms you up seeing them together. The storyline is great and we learn a lot more about the world the paranormals live in, when they were even further removed from humanity and when the animosity between vampires and shifters was high. This story is an easy read with just a touch of danger from jealous vampires, Ethan and Miguel are this story, their coming together, being perfect for each other and providing just what the other needs, both of them helping to save the pack even when they turn their back on Ethan and the discovery…

Strong Enough is the new release in the Family series by Cardeno C. Please note it's a standalone, so the books can be read in any order. Okay. It's entertaining, sweet and charming. It's a true story of opposites attract. Some might say it's cheesy or even sappy but I don't care. I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't stop reading until I reached the end. Yes, there isn't a lot of outside conflict but poor Spencer is filled with enough personal angst to sink a relationship without any help from the outside. Thankfully he has the ever patient Emilio. The author did a great job developing the personalities and backgrounds of both men. The imagery is good, the flow's smooth and the emotions believable. Oh and the sex - steamy. I can usually pick a favorite character but in this case, I can't. I like them both. I hope you like the book as much as I did.
