I loved this book and it’s audio companion and have read and re-read it many times (and re-listenened!).

So, this is a great story and I am a sucker for CC’s work, it just draws me right in and I can’t get enough.

Ben is funny, crazy, stupid, and so in denial that he could have been a parody of himself. The fact that he doesn't even in a book written in first person POV is almost a miracle. Watching Ben fight through all his conflicted feelings could have been an exercise in extreme frustration, but somehow isn't. That's the mark of a great story. When it could have been and maybe should have been crazy making but totally wasn't.

The love that is spun into these stories is just perfect for any day of reading.

Cardeno C. is quickly becoming my go to author for gay romance stories that are rich in dialogue and plot with steamy scenes meant to enhance the relationship of the main characters not consume it... the intermingling of the storyline and the passion Jason and Abe share for each other inside the bedroom flow seamlessly together. ...Abe is such a fantastic character, and he's also the perfect man to show Jason that he can have the family and the kind of relationship that he wanted all those years ago. ...I love the fact that there wasn't a big blowout or betrayal in the book; Jason struggled enough trying to figure out what he truly wanted and if he was ready to take that step, so I'm glad nothing else was added into the mix to mess it up. It's the perfect feel good romance story about one person who finally figures out what he wants and the guy he wants it with and the courage to finally step up and take it.
