'Not a Game' is a wonderful, light, feel good read for anyone who doubts that love is the one thing that comes in all sizes and shapes because it's not the package that matters but the heart and soul that resides within.

May-December romance that just hits all the great feels that you want in a story like this. 

I ended up engrossed in the MC's and their story. It is a story full of love and emotion and strong characterizations. The sex is earth-movingly high on the sexual Richter Scale. Even if you are not a huge shifter lover there is a lot to like about Control as a contemporary MM romance. If you do like a paranormal with an emphasis on shifters and romance, some engaging MC's, and a few interesting secondary characters, then I recommend Control very highly to you. Control is beautifully named, the cover is beautifully crafted and it all suits the writing to a tee.

So I think the first thing that made this book for me was Charlie's voice. The way the story is told from his point of view and the way that his attitude comes through drew me in and had me falling in love before the end of the first chapter. ... This book will take you through everything, every emotion and thought and feeling in the best possible way. If you enjoyed the first two books in the Family series then adding this book to your library is a no brainer and if you haven't read the other two then stop what you are doing and read them now. You will thank me in the end. These books reaffirm that the best family is the family that you pick yourself and that when you are offered a second chance, take it! Cardeno is one of those authors that has become and auto-buy for me in a very short period of time. Fabulous stories and unforgettable characters are in every book!

I cried, cringed, melted and on a few occasions, laughed through this book and highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys romance that is not easily achieved, some angst and a lead character that is delightfully flawed that he seems perfect!
