Reviews

Kevin Chandler brought Kyle and Brent to life with his audio rendition of Rough Edges. ...a short story worth reading, as Cardeno C. never fails to deliver a wonderfully driven book.

Sexy Erotic Xciting

Strange Bedfellows is one of those books that you wish the world would stop for.. the kind of book you wish you could sit for a few hours and get lost in.

Shh Mom's Reading

Humorous, heartfelt, sexy romance full of great characters. ... Ben is such a humorous and zany narrator that I fell a bit in love with him. ... This is a sexy and emotional romance between Ben and Micah. Ben's inexperience with gay sex is simultaneously humorous, emotive and hot. These two men make sex fun but have a relationship based on friendship that I could see as a reader. ... I love the secondary characters here as well as the unhurried plot. ... I love romances set in communities and that's what this book had. I also love the unhurried plot of this book. ... The characters were given time to develop along with the romance. The best part of this plot is the resolution that went further than most books would have in this situation as the couple becomes a family. None of this felt rushed or forced but instead just unfolded in a story of love in all its forms.

The Book Vixen

I must say though that when reading this light, short read, it had a dreamy quality to it. I cannot really put the right words on text, but it was like I was participating in the events that unfolded in a quality very dreamlike and quite blurry. It felt so good and in spite of the sensitive topic involved, it left me with a feeling of such great HOPE. Something which could only be felt during hopeful holidays like Christmas....There was something magical about this story that speaks of love, commitment, hope and faith. Yes, this is a very short and light read but it was bigger than the quantity of the text.  It made me think deeper and it reached out to something deeper inside me (and hopefully other readers). It teared up quite a bit but as the story was not sad, it was good tears. Hopeful tears. It was a beautiful.

Multitasking Mommas

More Than Everything (Family Series Book 3) had a bit of everything in it. Humor. Coming of Age. Erotica. Menage.
