I loved this story. It is very short, but it is very well written. The characters have a bunch going on, but it doesn’t’ feel pressured. I like how this author can do characters that have insta-love, like this story and make it feel realistic. The sex scenes are some of the hottest I’ve read, ever. This story doesn’t have a bunch of angst or heavy drama, just a nice, feel good story. The kind that Cardeno C is famous for. I will be reading this book over and over.

It was so easy to get lost in this story with that voice...... Cardeno C's stories are always fun, sexy and sweet

Positively phenomenal! A unique spin on the friends to lover theme with an amazing relationship-based story. Andrew Thompson and Caleb Lakes meet and become the best of friends while young teenagers. The story takes us through the next 20 years of their lives as they maintain their status as best friends with benefits. The question is whether or not they can ever move past this point. I loved both of these very well developed characters. Caleb was sweet, charming, an amazing friend, and a very strong person. It was adorable how he always had to be dressed to perfection. Andrew is brilliant, graduating from school early and ultimately becoming a top neurosurgeon. He's extremely kind but also very lonely due to his brilliance. He longs for a permanent relationship, but repeatedly chooses men who cheat on him. ... By the time they figured it out, I was crying happy tears! If you enjoy an amazing friends to lovers with benefits theme with great dialogue, strong characters, and an interesting life journey, this more than fits the bill.

It was a sweet, sexy and easy read... I loved the two MC's, I loved the simple, yet not so simple storyline... Some of the brother banter scenes are hilarious and I felt myself flinching and giggling from familiarity. This is a character driven story and it is well written. Not too heavy, if it was a movie it would be a romcom. ... The whole build up and the "normal" development of their relationship is handled beautifully by CC. The evolution of trust and patience is beautiful to read, and Emilio actually listens to some of the advice from his family, especially his sister. The secondary characters featured are strong and in perfect support for Emilio and Spencer. ... The sex was hot and sweet at the same time.

I recommend this to those who like new and unique shifter stories, those who love their M/M romance with some smoking hot sex scenes, including a first time experience. And, of course, to those who love and follow Cardeno C. You won't be disappointed.
