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.

 I’m a big fan of Cardeno C. I always know I’m going to be entertained by the characters, the setting and the plot. I always laugh, cry, get a little hot and bothered and know there won’t be much angst....I love this couple. They are sweet, funny, sexy and perfect for each other. I love the old jokes and the humor! And I love Oliver’s friend Tamra. She cracks me up!

Jesse’s Diner was so refreshing to read. I loved how well the story flowed and how easy it was to connect to the characters.

The story was told from Rafi's point of view, and he was a great character with a sarcastic sense of humor. Rafi is intelligent, hard-working, and a bit lonely. Although he has some good friends, he hasn't fallen in love yet. Isaac might be a major star, but he wasn't arrogant. Instead, he was kind, loving, and a bit possessive. At first glance, it didn't make any sense that Isaac liked Rafi based on how he treated Rafi in high school. However, as Rafi starts to remember some of the nice things Isaac did for him, the story took on a different feel. It was almost like a reminder to the rest of us not to let negative feelings cloud our pasts and block the good memories. There were several extremely steamy sex scenes during which these two continued to grow their relationship. The conversations were wonderful, and I really felt like I got to know the characters. The story takes place over a reasonable period of time, and we get a glimpse into what their future would be like together. I really enjoyed this wonderful steamy relationship story with a great sense of humor and interesting characters!

This story is a very sweet, romantic, feel good kind of book with some steam mixed in...I really loved this couple, the age difference didn't bother me at all. Once I got to know these men I couldn't help but really route for them. They may have gotten together really fast but you could honestly feel the respect, trust and love they had for each other. It really left me feeling really good. I definitely would recommend this book.
