What really stood out for me was the connection these two had. I loved feeling that while reading this story. It was so caring and incredibly hot.

I adored this book....What impressed me most in this book is how much Samuel grew into himself and into his feelings, learning that book knowledge alone doesn't make a leader, and that compassion and understanding is often better than commanding and demanding. Loyalty is earned, as is respect. But Samuel also learns to open his heart, to listen to it more than his mind, and to trust in his mate....And CC has this special talent to infuse the holy hot boysecks, Batman scenes with so much emotion, so much heart, that I tend to feel like an unwelcome intruder watching them unfold. But I can't stop reading, either, because they make me choke up and sniffle as well. I've come to know to always have a box of tissues ready when reading one of CC's books. ... Fully fleshed out characters, excellent side characters (friend or foe), and an engaging, nicely flowing plot - what's not to love?

I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to one and all!!

The plot of the book is extremely good and well developed....Cardeno C, however, has combined the paranormal, fantasy and homosexuality to create a unique series that keeps you entertained and glued to the pages. ... Cardeno C has created a great M/Romance novel..... If you take anything from this article, it should be that you should read this book and revel in the magnificence that is Cardeno C and his Mates series.

I enjoyed both of these books for the same reason. They give hope. We all need a good dose of hope, especially during the holidays when depression can take hold of you.
