Jumping in by Cardeno C is a bite-sized morsel packed with a juicy punch. Savory and sweet. Such a great short story. It had me craving more right from the start... It made me smile, swoon and laugh.

Narrated by Robert M Clark, my first listen with this narrator but it won't be my last. I liked that he used different tones for the various characters...I liked the content, characters and the way any story CC writes pulls me in and holds my attention.

Another Highly Recommended Story from The Mates Series by Cardeno C.

I hadn't read anything by C. in the past, and after reading this book, I have no idea why! ...C. did an amazing job of making me believe in the relationship and love between Reg and Jeremy. I adored both Reg and Jeremy. I loved that they were both so different, and yet complimented each other perfectly. Reg was this laid back and easy going guy who let everything slide off his back. Jeremy was a hot head that let life get to him, and was easily angered and quick to yell. ...The dynamic between them was so much fun to read! I also love the way their romance developed at a snail's pace throughout the book. I loved the way Reg proved that he could be the best friend and asset that Jeremy needed to keep a level head. I also adored the way that they built their friendship on games, beer, and pizza. It was genuine and real and I believed in it with everything. ...Their relationship felt real and honest and although I wasn't sure how it would all work out, I ended up absolutely loving every step of their journey...I adored Jeremy and Reg both, and thought their romance was absolutely perfect.

I love CC's characters, even if they have asshole traits, they manage to make you love them ...Whilst there is a certain formula to CC's stories (love story with a happy ending), what's wrong with that - we all need a bit of happy in our lives, so for me it's a five star read. I adored this book.
