May-December romance that just hits all the great feels that you want in a story like this. 

This is a sweet, fluffy, feel good read -- just what we want most in a Cardeno book. I definitely recommend it.

As usual with Cardeno C., this book is a wonderful mix of hot smexy times, with real life issues between two men who are seeking their HEA. As hard as it was to like Jason at the beginning of the book, by the end I had a true understanding of him and realized that Jason had a journey to go on. Abe was the perfect companion on that journey. Once Jason realized this, he and Abe made an amazing couple, and I couldn't put the book down until I found out how it all ended. There is a reason Cardeno C. is an auto-buy author for me, and a book like this is just one of many. I highly recommend The Half of Us and all the others in the Family series. This can be read as a standalone, but I wouldn't miss any of the books if I were you.

Jason was such an extraordinary character to get to know. ...Confident and honest to a fault, he was clear as to who he was and what was to be expected of him. .....Abe was a great character too. I admired his tenacity, his caring heart and the patience he found in himself when it came to dealing with Jason. ...Cardeno didn't pull any punches in bringing forth the connection between these two. Through every stilted conversation, honest interaction and heated encounters Abe and Jason's connection never failed to be present–always growing deeper, bringing them closer each time. ...I expect it's not an easy feat to bring all these elements to the page, but Cardeno brought it all together seamlessly without taking away from any one of the elements involved. The emotions were present, intense yet subtle and correctly portrayed. The romance was slow-building but firmly established and developed. And of course, the chemistry was explored in many different ways. Cardeno managed to not only bring the heat to these scenes but also brought into it the complexity of the characters–what made them tick, what they yearned for and how emotionally invested they were in what they were sharing. Be it their first heated embrace, their flirty banter or just a simple look, Jason and Abe's chemistry jumped off the page and their emotions made themselves known.

Beans: The fight between these two makes for an incredibly enjoyable read. I love how Vy is fighting for his mate but also struggles with his desires. Robert and his fear of letting his bear control him, but Vy is pushing all his buttons, his human and shifter natures… Robert and Vy stop arguing and it turns into something else. Something beautiful and sexual with some deep cravings and it burns on the page. … I loved this book. It's fantastic and a great book to lose yourself in.Nina: Amazingly enough, these authors were able to create a story that surpassed all the hype. I adored every character and moment, there was not a false note, error or lose thread. This is one of the best writing partnerships that I have ever been blessed to read, the writing styles complimented each other and the two voices wove together seamlessly… Robert truly loved and appreciated everything about Vy and wanted to be with him, he just wanted their relationship to be as humans… They both want the same thing they are just coming at it from different places and calling it different things. But both men want to be together, they just have to find a way to compromise and see it from the other man's perspective. The sexual tension and desire between these men was delicious. When they give in to it and allow themselves to express their growing affection for each other it is amazing. The sex was hot,…
