Ahhh, I really liked this one. This is a very sweet book. Cute and cuddly through and through. This is also a classic Cardeno C contemporary. When CC nails a contemporary romance you get highly likeable characters and a truly delightful story. That’s this book. That’s Oliver and Jaime. They are perfect for one another, their love addictive, infectious, and squoogey.

So this week is comfort week, where we each picked a book that to us says COMFORT...  Now I know what you are thinking “that is not a book but an author”, yes I know this but let me tell you something.  When I want comfort ANYTHING by Cardeno is a comfort read.

This is one HOT SEXY little read. .... I love how much emotions are in Cardeno's stories and how connected I feel to the characters. ...A short, sweet novel of romance and a happily ever after. Two misunderstood characters who take the time to get know one another instead of falling immediately into bed is a refreshing, and welcome, change from the norm.

Book 2 in the Mates series, just as quickly devoured by this reader as the first one, tells the story of Ethan Abbatt, a young wolf shifter who can't shift, and Miguel Rodriguez, a centuries old, powerful vampire...Prejudice is explored quite well in this novel, and could be liked to interracial relationships - the comparison is most apt.....The first time mating was super hot, but also extremely emotional, as I've come to expect from this author, and as a reader I will always feel as if the moment is sacred and special. The connection between mates is cemented upon the first love making, and this was no different here. Ethan may have been from a small Georgia town, and he wasn't a learned man, which is expressed in his speech and mannerisms, but he's no dummy. And Miguel, despite being as old as he is, still has things he can learn from Ethan - it's a good thing Miguel is no dummy either, and once he gets over his initial disbelief, he's fiercely protective, something the other vampires and anyone who tries to cross or hurt Ethan should have heeded. I loved how the author explored the meaning of family, and how love is stronger than prejudice. The main villain in this book gets what's coming to him, and all is well that ends well. Honest communication and great dialogue rounded out a super awesome story that I liked almost as much as the first one.

A beautifully written story traversing the emotional connection of friends and lovers, Perfect Imperfections has earned a place on this reviewer's Favorite Reads!
