Strange Bedfellows by Cardeno C. was a fantastic escape from the real political atmosphere in the U.S. and I loved every minute of it. ... Strange Bedfellows has all the things that I love: low angst, hot sex, and loveable characters.

Zach is a very angry and hurt young man, although I doubt he would admit to either emotion. Since he left home when they emotionally abandoned him for being gay, he doesn't believe in relationships, he doesn't kiss - that's too intimate, he wants nothing to do with his home town, he barely keeps in touch with his brother, he is OUT and PROUD and will take offense at any little slight he imagines. ... It was so beautiful to watch Zach as he realized that Aaron needed him in so many ways. No one has ever taken care of Aaron, but Zach can. Zach can be that one person that gives back to Aaron as much as he gives to Zach. Watching them find and make their own family was such fun for me... Thank you, Cardeno, for another insanely wonderful story that reminded me of the important things in life.

short, sweet and yet so beautiful. I just fell in love with these two men, found myself crying. Then once the drama was kicked and killed, it was smooth sailing to romance-land and I just got my goofy smile on, and on, and on....All of Me by Cardeno C. is just so beautifully written and it is a very light read. Again, one of the few novella length stories that did not leave me hanging for lack of information, and with characters and plot developing well, it did set my heart to pitter patter in the best way possible and I just grinned goofy. Yes, I did cry, but the story more than made up for the tears as it progressed. And I just fell in love, glad nothing could get past these two alphas once they bonded. The strength these two displayed - they are ALPHA! men. Hot! too...

I love both Spencer and Emilio and even Emilio's brothers. All the characters are engaging and fun and I really lapped up this story. It was sweet and spicy all rolled up into a book I couldn't put down until I was done. Absolutely fabulous!

What ensues is a story of friendship, trust and acceptance...the emotions are in the forefront along with the humor. The ‘feels' in this story are subtle but heartfelt nonetheless. Jeremy and Reg's connection is instant but through honest dialogue, funny banter and flirtatious and candid interactions, Cardeno deepens it. Bringing forth numerous ‘awww' moments, laughs and sighs. I loved Jeremy and Reg's easy camaraderie. It was great to see how it jumped off the page. They were friends first, lovers later and their journey was a treat to experience.
