Jesse’s Diner by Cardeno C. is a heartwarming May/December romance that is delightfully angst free. This sweet yet steamy addition to the Hope series can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend the entire series.

I admit I have never read a paranormal book until this one. It was great. I didn't get lost in the fantasy realm which is surprising. I really enjoyed this story. ..This is a great romantic short story and the sex is sizzling. I loved the dialogue in this book. If you are a paranormal fan and looking for a great short book then look no further just go get this one!!

I absolutely loved this amazing story! ...I loved seeing their relationship develop slowly while they really got to know each other. ...Reg really understood Jeremy and was able to truly support him so he could focus on his music. Reg was extremely patient and helped Jeremy mature in his behavior. The build up to their first hot sex scene together was so intense and emotional. I liked the way we saw time pass by so the strengthening of their relationship made sense. Throw in a little mystery about somebody leaking information to the press, and I had a story that I couldn't put down. My favorite thing about books by this author is that he spends the time to fully develop both the characters and the relationship. If you haven't read the author's work before, this is a great starting point, since it's not part of a series.

They are a memorable couple, and Cardeno C. is quite skilled at writing stories with dirty dialogue and lots of sweet love.

I am not even sure how to review this aww-inducing book without getting all mushy and gushing going sappy-Mandy all over the place. This book hit on so many of my * love it * buttons. ... There is so much fun in this story. The weddings poor Seth has to officiate, he really does deserve hazard pay. .... This is such a wonderfully sweet story, Eli matures, but in a lot of ways so does Seth. They really do grow together. It had me chuckling at the weddings and the men's families and sighing and smiling watching how perfect they are for each other. ... I loved this book and can absolutely recommend it to all Cardeno C fans and anyone who loves a real romantic story with a wonderful Happy End.
