I am NEVER disappointed reading a Cardeno C. novel and Not a Game hit the romance spot....Cardeno C.’s characters are down to earth and people we’d meet on the streets, and want to get to know. 

Wow. I'm in shock over how much I loved this story. I fell in love with Charlie, Scott, and Adan. There's nothing I can say except it's one of the best books I've ever read. Thank you, Cardeno, for putting these guys on paper and sharing them.

I was immediately drawn into the interesting lives of the two heroes, Zach and Aaron. Not only did they breathe life off of the pages they wormed their way into my heart and I loved every minute I spent reading about them. The intensity of their feelings toward one another was beautiful to experience. I thoroughly enjoyed watching both characters evolve into stronger, self-confident men because of the loyal, loving and supportive feelings they had for each other.

This is a sweet yet humorous story. The one-liners had me laughing out loud more than once. Initially I wasn't sure if Isaac deserved a second chance but as the story played out I found myself rooting for him. The characters are charming. The sex is hot as hell. The ending is perfect. A very good read.

There are so many words that I would like to utter but they mainly consist of Ohhhh Ahhhh sweet and cute, and *sigh* soooo romantic. We are given a true treat with this wonderful holiday story that shows the despair of a young man who feels he doesn't have anything to cling to. It then takes us on a journey to a possible future that he would miss out on and then we are treated to a sweet ending when the course of the future is changed with Shiloh's knowledge and his actions. The love that is discovered first in the future and then in the present is incredibly sweet but also passionate, a meeting of soul mates who are meant to be whether in the future or in the present..... Ah, there are so many wonderful and bittersweet moments in this story .... I recommend this to those who love stories of a love that was meant to be, incredible characters, a story that draws out your emotions with ease and a story that brings family together.
