I have two reactions I flip flop between when reading Cardeno C. I'm either saying "D'aawww!" or "Holy shit, that's hot." Happens every time.

The first three chapters, well, you will want to make sure you are not in public when you read them. Hotness that only CC can write is there from the words Chapter One. And there was lots of that hotness.

If you're already a fan, it's a must read/listen. If you've never read this author's work before...well, what better way to start than with a brand new series with sexy, growly shifters.

I cried, cringed, melted and on a few occasions, laughed through this book and highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys romance that is not easily achieved, some angst and a lead character that is delightfully flawed that he seems perfect!

Hot, intense, yet thought provoking on dangers of someone perceived as different. Cardeno C. will have you holding your breath for more.
