So many, many things made me happy in Cardeno C’s Rough Edges, but the biggest thing was how two men can learn and change their point of view. No huge changes in the characters, just an understanding that your beliefs can be wrong and maybe not everything is as straight forward as you thought.

This is on the short side, but it definitely felt satisfying. We get a great picture of the longing Clint has for Hawk and the patience Hawk demonstrates waiting for Clint to wake up! There’s a bit of humor, lots of dirty talk and a really sweet HEA. Super fun, light and a great pick-me-up. Recommended!

These characters have great chemistry together and their journey towards the HEA that you can always count on Cardeno C to provide was believable, sweet and full of emotion. I even loved the secondary characters and that was a surprise. I hadn’t expected to feel any connection to them, yet they just wove themselves right into my heart along with the MC’s. When I was learning the Pot of Gold ratings, I was told that a 10 out of 10 Pots of Gold meant it was the best book ever. This book, for me, is definitely that.

Cardeno C and Mary Calmes are both amazing authors and combined they have written and story that is sensual and yet gritty. There is something to be said for a story that is not predictable and these characters are definitely anything but easy to figure out. The story itself is not the usual fare and it is great to read about characters that don't just fall into an easy relationship. The fact that they each have to learn about themselves on their way to learning about the other person made for a story that seems so much more realistic. This was without question a story that was crafted by two amazingly talented authors in a way that is not the average story.

Where He Ends and I Begin is part of Cardeno C.'s Home series. And, yes, I absolutely adore Jake and Nate's story. It's arguably the best in the series. I say arguably because I've read them all and each time I finish I think that book is my favorite. But seriously, this friends to lovers story is so very precious and enthralling, readers feel as if they know the characters, experience each character's joy and fear. It's truly a captivating story from beginning to end.
