Jaymie: From the stories of friendships that develop into love to enemies who find they fit perfectly with one another, destined mates and second chance love, I always feel good after reading one of Cardeno C's books....f you want to read a story with just a tad bit of angst and a whole lot of sweet, great down to earth characters, romance and fun, Not A Game is a great choice. Heather: I seriously loved this book, I would bet I had a smile through most of this book. ...his is a book that I will reread. It's sweet, loving, funny and made my heart sigh. 

Anyone who's enjoyed Cardeno's other shifter books will like this one.

Another winning read from Cardeno C albeit a shorter one.... but this endearing and tender shifter book never felt stunted or rushed, in fact it really grabbed me emotionally and within a couple of its chapters actually had me having a little weep.... The love scenes were as sweet and tender as they were hot and steamy...The sex never fails to sizzle but there's always a romantic, loving feel underpinning it too which I think really shows up in this particular storyline. For such a short story it packed a pretty emotional punch....Short, sweet, sexy, soulful and very satisfying. I loved it.

Cardeno C is the master of sweet romance. ... Nothing turns me on more than guys being open about their feelings. ;) That's because it usually ends in an erotic make out session or sweaty, grinding sex!... They are very sweet together and decide that maybe the home Lucas is looking for isn't somewhere he makes for himself but somewhere he wants to be…. in Jared's arms.

I loved watching the "faux-lationship" between Reg and Jeremy grow....Loved how Reg was with Jeremy. Yes at first he was there to see the world while acting as Jeremy's "pretend" boyfriend, but there was always something more between them. This is the first of Cardeno C's books that I have read, but I have already added a few more to my TBR list and to my Kindle.
