I loved how consistency and caring won through in the end. Along with some serious hotness, of course, these two elements come hand in hand with this talented author.

Wicked Reads

Cardeno also writes some really good sexy times and again…this was no exception.

Love Bytes Reviews

Ben is funny, crazy, stupid, and so in denial that he could have been a parody of himself. The fact that he doesn't even in a book written in first person POV is almost a miracle. Watching Ben fight through all his conflicted feelings could have been an exercise in extreme frustration, but somehow isn't. That's the mark of a great story. When it could have been and maybe should have been crazy making but totally wasn't.

Witty, Smart, and hard to put down is how I would describe Perfect Imperfections. I will admit that I'm not one to read M/M Romances, but I seriously fell in love with Jeremy and Reggie's story. The witty banter between these two will have you in stitches. Perfect Imperfections gives you insight into a nontraditional romance and the stigma that comes with it. Jeremy Jameson is a international rock star who leads a lonely life surrounded by hundreds of people. It isn't until one night when Jeremy meets the easy going Reg that he soon discovers a best friend and lover. I really enjoyed reading this story and I would recommend Perfect Imperfections to anyone who enjoys to read a clever romance with a great ending.

Naughty Vixen Mafia

Hugh and Johnnie's journey was emotionally touching, well written and at times thought provoking.... Of course the author doesn't leave out the steamy sexy times either, but in this story it fed the emotional connection between the two men in palpable ways. Great story Cardeno C!
