I am a big fan of this author’s work. Cardeno C creates characters that stay with you and the romances are sweet and sometimes hard fought for. Rough Edges is a perfect example of the fight for the happy ever after. This romance is a story of real perseverance, especially on Brent’s part.

It packs a sweet punch and I loved every single word. Emilio and Spencer are simply wonderful together. For all it's sweetness, the characters and dialogue are beautifully written. ... I found myself smiling a lot feeling the happiness both men felt as they took their journey to love. The supporting characters brought more treats to the party insisting we all have a good time. I had a wonderful time getting to know these special men and I thank the author for inviting me along. This was a lovely romance, sexy, sweet and all that comes with. As always with a Cardeno C book, I look forward to more.

So if you're having a crappy day (or even if you're not) and you need a fast fluff injection, I recommend this novella.

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.

Reg and Jeremy will take your mind off things and pull you into their world and before you know what happened, you'll be reading the last pages of their story and wishing for more.
