In typical Cardeno style, we have a really sweet story of two fun and interesting people. We get a bit of hot smexy times, some humor, and a really touching “awww” for an ending. I have to hand it to people who can aptly create a fully developed story in only a few words. This is absolutely one of them! Despite it’s short length, it felt very satisfying by the end.
Normally when I pick up a Cardeno C. story to read, I have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Normally there is a sweet love story. We either get a friends to lovers story, a second chance at love story, or a rocky road to happiness story. I have loved every single one I have read up to this point...I feel Cardeno C. has written a great story with Reg and Jeremy....Once Jeremy figures out his feelings for Reg, this turns into a no holds barred love affair. These two men seemed to just be made for one another. I loved how Reg just knew exactly what Jeremy needed, and he made sure to give it to him, and Jeremy could do the same for Reg. There was very little, if any, angst in this book, and I think I loved it more because of that. This was a very slow building romantic love story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend this title, it really shouldn't be missed.
While In Your Eyes is part of the Mates series, it can most certainly be read as a standalone. It is a lovely contemporary shifter read with engaging, fully realised MCs, and well developed secondary characters. I fell for Samuel and Korban and I had some really strong reactions to events in the book as well. It tugged at my heartstrings and it made me smile. The well named In Your Eyes delivers a well paced, gay shifter romance with much love and a HEA.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way this book was told....It really was engaging as well as refreshing. From the start of the story I was completely invested in Charlie's journey... This story brought out a lot of emotions in me. Charlie goes through a lot and I couldn't help but feel for him every step of the way during his journey. Love, heartbreak, anger, sadness are just some of the things I felt while I sat here listening to Charlie talk about his life. You really do feel like you are listening to his story vs reading it because you start to look at Charlie as your friend. I know sounds crazy right but really it was just so well written the pages come to life.
This is such a sweet and heartfelt story from beginning to end. My connection with the characters was immediate. ...I adore the connection between Abel and Kai. It's beautiful and strong and so very perfect. All of Me is a story of hurt, forgiveness, and new beginnings. The gravity of this story weighed heavily on me and pulled me into this world. I love the amount of emotion this author pours into this story. This novella is everything I look for in a comfort read. It's highly emotional. The conflict is strong and engaging. And the resolution is beautiful and heartwarming....In a short time, the CC delivers a powerful, precious story in both storytelling and fluid writing. ...I loved this story. Everything about it. Cardeno C has once again written a winner. I highly recommend the fabulousness that is All of Me by Cardeno C.
