Strange Bedfellows by Cardeno C. was a fantastic escape from the real political atmosphere in the U.S. and I loved every minute of it. ... Strange Bedfellows has all the things that I love: low angst, hot sex, and loveable characters.

I loved this book and it’s audio companion and have read and re-read it many times (and re-listenened!).

I think out of all of Cardeno C's books, this is one of my favourites and the audio one that I will listen to again and again.

Cardeno visits Emile City again! And I couldn't be happier. In this short story we meet Rafi and Isaac. In school, Isaac tormented Rafi mercilessly. Suddenly he shows up in Emile City and acting as though he and Rafi were friends. Rafi is offended that Isaac would dream of coming near him again, after all he put him through. Isaac is kinda stalkerish scary but you know what? It totally works for me. The whole plot of the story makes sense, and I found myself hoping that Rafi wouldn't dismiss a chance at happiness, especially after Isaac comes clean about what he's doing in Emile City.... Cardeno knows how to pull my heartstrings and does it very well.

The enduring love between Kai and Abe was both wonderful and sad as others conspired to keep them apart. I loved every minute of the book.
