I like that Cardeno C. can think/write outside the box, and does it so well I can really believe the storyline. 

Author Cardeno C. pens an excellent, realistic relationship story in The Half of Us where readers witness the good, the bad, and all the hairy moments in between.

What I loved about these men and their story was CC’s ability to show their growth over time. 

I really liked the leads, Abel and Kai, and while Kai's sister annoyed me at first, she had her heart in the right place. I'll also say that All of Me is kind of cheesy-sweet and you have to go in with a frame of mind wanting to see a couple who were obviously meant to be together find their way. It is paranormal in the sense that there are shifters in the book, but it is no great world-building paranormal read. It's not meant to be. It is what it is, a contemporary romance with two characters who are hurting with a fix in sight....This is a really nice and quick shifter read. Although there is a darker reason for the two lovers to have not made their bond occur earlier, the MC's are good together. ...if you are feeling like a romantic and sweet paranormal, with the sex all kinds of good too, then this is a nice little read.

There are some very funny moments in this book...fleshlights...and the way that Reg just keeps pushing and waiting for that ah-ha moment cracked me up. There are also some very sensual moments and as always with this author they are beautifully written.....This is a perfect lazy day read when you want something that will interest you but not overwhelm you with angst.
