Cardeno C’s Mates series is probably my favorite “shifter” series of all time. I have read and listened to it over and over and over – probably one of them each month....This was a fantastic addition to the series – and can be read as a standalone- but I don’t recommend it. Reading this series in order will let you appreciate all the secondary characters and what it means when they act as they do.

Cardeno C. takes a taboo subject and weaves it into a beautiful love story.  I truly enjoyed this book

It's not very often I give a novella 5 stars. There has to be a lot right with it, they need to blow me out of the water, I have to fall in love with the MCs, believe the story is just a tiny, and I mean tiny, bit plausible, there has to be a beginning, a middle and as much of a satisfying feeling at the end as a novella can give. This story hits all those points and more. ... As much as I would have loved there to be more of Isaac and Rafi, its perfect just the way it is. I loved this story it's beautiful, romantic and such a feel good story I will be re-reading this one again.

I love this growing up and accepting yourself themed book. I cannot stop reading it, makes me smile and believe true love really can conquer all.

I really enjoyed the story and the characters in it. ...One thing I always like in Shifter stories and loved in this one is the bond between two mates destined to be together. It is hard to imagine anything more romantic than that. Of course the bond being unbreakable has a flipside; not even betrayal or a long time apart can diminish the pull. ...Overall this was a rather sweet, well written and very sexy paranormal romance.
