These books are linked by theme or world. They are independent and can be read in any order.
The story is short, sweet with a nice steamy dash of heat.
Strange Bedfellows is one of those books that you wish the world would stop for.. the kind of book you wish you could sit for a few hours and get lost in.
Cardeno visits Emile City again! And I couldn't be happier. In this short story we meet Rafi and Isaac. In school, Isaac tormented Rafi mercilessly. Suddenly he shows up in Emile City and acting as though he and Rafi were friends. Rafi is offended that Isaac would dream of coming near him again, after all he put him through. Isaac is kinda stalkerish scary but you know what? It totally works for me. The whole plot of the story makes sense, and I found myself hoping that Rafi wouldn't dismiss a chance at happiness, especially after Isaac comes clean about what he's doing in Emile City.... Cardeno knows how to pull my heartstrings and does it very well.
What I liked most about this story is that in addition to the struggles of Jason and Abe trying a new relationship and facing Jason-centered hurdles, there are also real-life problems that have to be faced. What do you do about the kids? What do you do when your son is heading down the wrong path? And I loved that Angela, Jason's ex-wife and mother of his children, is a strong, loyal female character.
Cardeno writes with emotion and I have learned that is a characteristic of his prose. In fact, he does so in a way that we do not even realize that he is doing so....There is a lot of humor in the story also. ...There are also some very hot sex scenes and Seth's sexual prowess may surprise you. ....This is one of those books that you read for pure pleasure and I am pretty sure that Cardeno wrote it with pleasure. I am still smiling.
