This is a hot as hell M/M romance that shows once you find “the one” don’t give up and don’t take no for an answer.

Ahhhhh, bliss! This was the perfect story for my mood. I wanted something light with just a touch of angst, a lot of sweetness and on the shorter side. ...The characters are sad in the beginning, heart-breaking even, with Abel miserable and dwelling on the fact that he doesn't have his mate and never will. When you meet Kai, he's so broken that he can't even shift out of his wolf form. He heals quickly, though, once he's by Abel's side and flourishes into the alpha that he is supposed to be. ... I adored the characters, and while Kai's recovery may be a bit fast for some, I won't deny that I enjoyed his quick turnaround. I loved the concept of two alphas bonded together and before they're born too!

Now that was a sweet and sexy read! Whew! This is my first book by this author but won't be my last. I didn't read the first one and followed along just fine so no worries there. ... I liked a lot of things about this book. The sex was hot and frequent. ... Both men accepted their attraction easily despite everything being against them. I love a vicious vamp and these were definitely that with a dash of compassion. ... Ethan's POV was very distinct with his dialect and word usage. I smiled almost every time he said pecker. ... I liked this book. If you're in the mood for a steamy vamp and wolf romance then I'd recommend it.

It is really a nice slow build for their relationship. I liked the pacing of the story. The slow burn and desire that becomes all-consuming and almost debilitating as the years pass. It makes the union that much sweeter when it finally happens. Cardeno C just has a way of weaving a story that pulls the reader in and washes them in love and warmth. Zev and Jonah are hot as hell between the sheets and sweet as honey out of them.

I liked that Abel was both tough and could be caring and sensitive to Kai's needs. Their desire and eventual claiming was electric. I also enjoyed seeing Kai given the chance to take back his power and soar as an alpha for the first time. The devotion and bond these two had and fortified was a joy to read.
