This was a great novella. There are many lessons, sweet and some sexy times. There is a lot to the story in such a small amount of time. I didn't think it was too short. It was perfect for a few hours.

I just love the characters from this series, the familiar feeling I get when reading all my best friends, and catching up with where they are at right now.

I enjoyed this story of two men who have grown up in politics and find themselves falling for one another despite their outward differences.

Jason was such an extraordinary character to get to know. ...Confident and honest to a fault, he was clear as to who he was and what was to be expected of him. .....Abe was a great character too. I admired his tenacity, his caring heart and the patience he found in himself when it came to dealing with Jason. ...Cardeno didn't pull any punches in bringing forth the connection between these two. Through every stilted conversation, honest interaction and heated encounters Abe and Jason's connection never failed to be present–always growing deeper, bringing them closer each time. ...I expect it's not an easy feat to bring all these elements to the page, but Cardeno brought it all together seamlessly without taking away from any one of the elements involved. The emotions were present, intense yet subtle and correctly portrayed. The romance was slow-building but firmly established and developed. And of course, the chemistry was explored in many different ways. Cardeno managed to not only bring the heat to these scenes but also brought into it the complexity of the characters–what made them tick, what they yearned for and how emotionally invested they were in what they were sharing. Be it their first heated embrace, their flirty banter or just a simple look, Jason and Abe's chemistry jumped off the page and their emotions made themselves known.

Cardeno C. has written a beautiful and compelling story about the power of love. I loved reading the interactions between Dean's wife and the guys. She was such a fireball that they were scared to cross her even thought she was much smaller than they were.
