This is the fourth, and probably last book, in the Mates series, which I loved. LOVED. ...This being a book by Cardeno C., there are also some super hot sexy times (when they then finally happen, OMG), and knotting. ...There is always such emotion within the sexy times, and I think that's one of the author's special gifts. ...This is definitely a fitting end to the series, and I loved that the couples from the previous book made an appearance. Well, all but Samuel. It can be read as a standalone, but why would you? Why would you not read all the books in this fantastic series? Exactly. 

If you are looking for an intense love story that is very hot, then look no further, this is the book for you!

Rock stars! Pretend boyfriends! Super hot sex and lots of it! If you're in the mood for a really sweet, extremely low on angst and high on smut romance, this is the book for you. This is just some really lovely writing, about two wonderful guys, who both deserve to get what they want and need, and they do. There is nothing more to it, and it hit exactly the right spot when I needed some good old fluffy, feel-good reading.

It's lovely and thoughtful, and it still rains fluffy kittens from the sky of sweetness like the rest of the collection.

I really, really enjoyed this story.....Abe and Jason are great together. Their chemistry is both steamy and loving. They have a great dynamic and Cardeno really grows their relationship. ...Their sex is both steamy, hot, sensual and gentle.....The family dynamic was a great addition as well. All of the twists and turns in this story – in the end, it was about finding love, holding on to family and being there for each other.
