This is a great addition to the Mates series and I think Cardeno fans will be left with happy smiles on their faces and will be looking forward to more in the future.

I was totally in the mood for some sweet M/M contemporary romance and Not a Game delivered. It so delivered. This one is on the top of my Cardeno C. favorites list. If you need an angst-free, loving romance with some hot sex, Not a Game is perfect.

Jesse’s Diner doesn’t disappoint! It perfectly embodies the collection’s name by being about the hope between two men who aren’t perfect, but are perfect for one another.

Rock stars! Pretend boyfriends! Super hot sex and lots of it! If you're in the mood for a really sweet, extremely low on angst and high on smut romance, this is the book for you. This is just some really lovely writing, about two wonderful guys, who both deserve to get what they want and need, and they do. There is nothing more to it, and it hit exactly the right spot when I needed some good old fluffy, feel-good reading.

There is knotting in this book (yes!) and sex in wolf form. There is confusion and faith in another person. There is facing off against bigotry and there is a lot of love, even if it's not written in a history.
