I wrote this flash fic for Boy Meets Boy Reviews featuring the characters in Wake Me Up Inside. Enjoy! - CC
.
Have you ever thought, ‘this person was created solely to love another’? As I was reading, or listening in this case, it struck me; Reg was made to love Jeremy. To be honest, I can’t think of another couple that hit me with a similar realization. After countless love stories this was a first and did it ever rock my world.
Sweet and sappy and adorable. A feel-good story about second chances at love and trusting again. The book fully met the expectations I had formed based on the blurb, and thus succeeded in what it promised. ... I like the characterizations. ... I liked how the author created two very different characters, opposites in almost every aspect, and completely made it work. The naughty scenes were holy hot boysecks, but underlined with tons of emotions, and the dialogue felt organic and realistic. I also liked the supporting characters in Emilio's family and Spencer's friend. ... The author's voice (new to me) was lovely, the writing crisp and still emotionally charged. A great book with which to spend a few hours escaping from your own life.
The author did a very good job using the time the men were together to move them from acquaintances to friends to lovers. Perfect Imperfections has a little bit of everything and is sure to be another hit for Cardeno C. If you have not yet tried anything by this author this book would be a great starting point.
The stories are generally sweet and sexy and even when they deal with serious issues there is still a lightness and fun about them.
One of the many things that make this particular Cardeno book enjoyable is main character Samuel Goodwin. ...He's like a shifter Mr. Darcy. A shifter Mr. Darcy who hates Korban Keller.....He's never seen any proof that two males may tie together and therefore the possibility doesn't exist for him. Which makes it even sweeter when, after a series of dramatic events, Samuel finally realizes that what he's feeling is love....What I like most about this whole series is the way Cardeno deals with the ever popular shifter mates theme. As I stated above according to the shifter lore found in this series there is only one correct combination that makes up a mating; males and females. But Cardeno shows that not only can two men love each other, two men, even two species within the series, can complete each other..... this book was the fluffy, romantic & sexy good time you can expect from a Cardeno C. book.
