An absolutely delightful, sweet, sexy romance ...A great way to spend a couple of easy, relaxing hours reading.

Rainbow Book Reviews

I love Cardeno C’s writing style, and this one is right up there with some of the author’s most emotion-evoking stories. And hot? Oh yes, this one is hot.

Hearts on Fire

So, this is a great story and I am a sucker for CC’s work, it just draws me right in and I can’t get enough.

Gay Book Reviews

This was the lightest, fluffiest, sweetest book I've read in a long time. I didn't even break for lunch reading this one because I couldn't tear myself away. Funny? Check (the fleshlight scene had me giggling AND blushing). Sexy? Definitely (once these guys get going, they're not shy). Romantic? The ending will make you swoon.

I read and giggled and laughed out loud and sighed and awww'd and sniffled and smiled. ...Theirs was a journey of hope, faith and love. The writing draws you in from the start and never lets you go. It's engaging, honest and humorous, yet emotional when befitting the situation, and holy hot boysecks, Batman. The whole relationship with its slow burn is permeated by respect and friendship for each other, and a deep, abiding connection. Seth might have taken his time, but when he figures it out, it's full steam ahead. And Eli, persistent, a little hesitant but oh so sure of what he wants - simply a joy to behold... Humor abounds during the weddings Seth officiates, and there are plenty of sweet moments between him and Eli too. ... Highly recommended. Utterly beautiful.
