This story is hands down one of my favorite novellas of Cardeno’s. Filled with so much love and hope it definitely doesn’t hurt that the sex is hot as hell too.

Gay Book Reviews

The best thing about this book is how it's told over time. ... I loved watching Andrew and Caleb grow up, explore life and become men... I really enjoyed this complete look at these two characters' lives and how they loved and supported each other through it all, large and small. ... MM readers who enjoy a good erotic romance will adore Andrew and Caleb. They have a chemistry that leaps off the page from the time they first notice each other sexually and continues the entire book. Andrew enjoys body modification and this will delight MM readers as it did me. Unlike some authors who write good erotic interludes but not emotional intimacy, this author deftly combines both. The characters' emotional connection is just as tangible as their sexual chemistry.

It's a well written and entertaining addition to the series that I enjoyed. The storyline is nicely plotted, the personalities are unique and well developed, the imagery is vivid and the flow smooth. I like Charlie. He's a sweet guy and doesn't make any apologies for who he is. Even when life hurts, he goes on - he deals with it - tries to be happy. ... His biggest hurt also gives him his greatest happiness, and the future he always wanted. It's a difficult moment in his life and oh, so realistic. The author handles it very well.... It's non-traditional but watching them work through their issues made me smile. But then I found myself smiling often during this entertaining love story. I couldn't help it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Sigh. This was so yummy and romantic and sexy, I just loved it. Cardeno C has created such a wonderful friends to lovers story here in Perfect Imperfections. I loved these guys together from the very beginning. They are such a perfect match for one another...Almost the whole book focuses on the two men developing their friendship and ultimately their romantic relationship within the very close confines of their travel together. This works so well with the story as the reader is just drawn right in to the intimacy these men have created. I could just feel the bond between them and loved watching these men interact....So this was another big hit from Cardeno C for me.  I absolutely adored Reg and Jeremy completely. They are such a wonderful couple together and meet each other's needs so perfectly. I really loved watching both their comfortable friendship and their romantic relationship grow over the course of the book. Wonderful story and highly recommended.

The love and romance hit the mark in that perfect Cardeno C way! ...The chemistry and fervor between Korban and Samuel doesn't disappoint. It might take them a long time to get there but they don't lose any time after they've figured things out. Let's just say they are enthusiastically making up for lost time. They are loving and learning together. They are two halves finally making one whole. Korban's fun side is the perfect complement to Samuel's serious side.
