Their romance is like a slow burning fire on a cold night. Everything’s heating up perfectly! There’s medical issues and emotional drama that really moves the story along. This is pretty much a contemporary story about finding love in a small town. If you’re looking for super sweet and sexy, give Jesse’s Diner a read!

I really appreciated how connected these men were, in all ways, and was happy to see them finally realize that being together was where they would fit the best.The narration of Alexander Collins never ceases to make me happy. He has such range, and talent for creating voices for the characters that I haven’t heard in his other Emile City characters. The differences between these two men could be noticed immediately, merely by his tone of voice. 

I have two reactions I flip flop between when reading Cardeno C. I'm either saying "D'aawww!" or "Holy shit, that's hot." Happens every time.

Who knew that Isaac was sweet, kind and so vulnerable where Rafi was concerned. Seeing these two men together and seeing them working on understanding their past was a delight for me. To go on their journey with them I ended up adoring Isaac and was rooting for him to have his chance.

I loved this book. It is classic Cardeno C and that is always a good thing. .... Ethan has a great voice. An addictive blend of humor, self deprecation, loyalty, honor and a way of expressing his emotions that's very real. He had me laughing out loud a few times, I loved his sarcastic wit and intelligence. ... Miguel is beautiful. ... I adore big strong men that everyone is afraid of, but who are big mushy sweethearts around their lover.
