Cardeno C hits the ball out of the park in Jesse's Diner, especially as it deals with some interesting twists and storylines.

I recommend Strange Bedfellows to someone looking for a low-drama, thoughtful romance.

The love scenes are awesomely hot, steamy and sexy but there's also some lovely moments of true romance mixed in there too and that lifts them up a notch. …Vy and Robert are meant to be together but it's watching them both come to that realization, each in their own way, mate bond or not, that's so lovely to watch…. As you can guess it's another one that goes onto my 'I loved it' shelf and another one that makes me thank the day I discovered m/m! … an appealing, engaging, feel good, nice and spicy shifter book that uses a familiar topic yet still manages to be innovative is just what the doctor ordered! Smiles all round!

This story is part of a series and can be read in any order. This is a brilliant story that tells us the tale of Miguel and Ethan who we met briefly in Wake Me Up Inside. ... Miguel and Ethan are wonderful characters, Ethan with his simple needs and plain words and Miguel with his badass attitude and need to protect Ethan. I can't tell you how much I adored Ethan and his easy attitude, his willingness to forgive others and how he wraps Miguel around his little finger without even trying. I loved Miguel's take no crap attitude and how, when he accepted his feelings for Ethan, he would do anything for him even when it goes against what he wants to do. I loved the easy storyline that has just a smidge of danger and the sex is hot and they are made for each other in every way, it just warms you up seeing them together. The storyline is great and we learn a lot more about the world the paranormals live in, when they were even further removed from humanity and when the animosity between vampires and shifters was high. This story is an easy read with just a touch of danger from jealous vampires, Ethan and Miguel are this story, their coming together, being perfect for each other and providing just what the other needs, both of them helping to save the pack even when they turn their back on Ethan and the discovery…

Cardeno C.'s books Wake Me Up Inside and Until Forever Comes are well worth the read or listen, too. These paranormal romances are what I've just finished listening to on audiobook and have surprisingly strong writing, interesting characters, and steamy love scenes, all while having good story arcs and a few plot twists that kept me interested. Or maybe I was too hot for Zev to pay attention to much else. Worth the price, especially on Kindle.
