Cardeno C is one of my favorite M/M authors and this book shows why....The story is sweet and I was happy to see Jaime make Oliver come out of his shell. There was no conflict in this story but I felt it really didn’t need it since it was really a love story between two men who shouldn’t work together but did. 

This is ended up being one of my favorite books in the series because of the amazing ending and the way that it felt so complete.

Strong Enough by Cardeno C. was a beautiful sentimental love story that kept me warm inside and put a smile on my face. I loved the younger confident man meets shy older professor story line. ... The dynamics between Emilio and Spencer flew off the pages as their synergy meshed and their personalities complimented each other. .. Strong Enough held the meaning of life; who one falls in love with can't always be helped, a family should always be on your side (even though that doesn't always happen), but if there is strength of will and character, love will be found. Cardeno C. wrote this strength in Emilio and Spencer and happiness prevailed. Strong Enough flew to this reviewer's top ten list of favorite books.

I have read hundreds of m/m romances, and quite a few m/m/m both of the menage variety and triad emphasis. This book doesn't fall into either of those categories neat and tidy. It's something different, something new, really something incredibly beautiful. ... We fall in love with Charlie. He is incredibly beautiful. He is also funny, artistic, and full of life and vibrancy. Scott is the perfect first love. ... Scott is strength. ... Adan is my favorite character in this story. He is unhealthy, he is uncomfortable in his skin, and he has no idea how to have a relationship. ... Charlie isn't blind. He sees this man for who he is, but loves him anyway. ... Part three is where this story gets brilliant. Most romances are all about the HEA but they never show what that looks like. ... Here we see how a family is built. ...There is commitment and it felt like I was taken out of a romance novel and plopped right down into a real neighborhood, watching a real family take shape. A family with three men, and so much more. If you love Cardeno C, if you have never read any of CC's books I highly recommend this book. This book is a must read. It will break your stereotypes down, it will make you laugh until you cry and weep because you mourn. And then when you get to the end you get the joy of starting all over at the…
