Reviews

I liked the narration as much as the story itself. Both voices were different, and I felt uplifted by the way the plot unfolded, and that is due in part, to the narrator, Robert M. Clark. Of course, it most certainly is mostly due to the inimitable style and romantic imagination of Cardeno C. But the two together make a great story better. If you like shifter stories, consider this one. It’s just a few hours long but packed a lot of pleasure into my day so I’m happy to recommend it.

Hearts on Fire

There is a lot of depth of character in this book that made me want to turn the pages and want more. I like how they learn to be friends and lovers… There is a lot about trusting yourself and letting yourself be who you really are. That and the great storyline makes this book one for the keeper shelves. Highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a different kind of shifter story you can fall in love with.

Cardeno C. ... stories are always a soft build immersed with heat and heart... This book has a great feel to it. You get to see the growth of Asher and the bond grow between these two which was sweet yet still spicy. As always Cardeno C. knows how to infuse so much emotion and heart into these stories that you are reeled in from beginning to end routing for the couple.

Live, Read and Breathe

It is really a nice slow build for their relationship. I liked the pacing of the story. The slow burn and desire that becomes all-consuming and almost debilitating as the years pass. It makes the union that much sweeter when it finally happens. Cardeno C just has a way of weaving a story that pulls the reader in and washes them in love and warmth. Zev and Jonah are hot as hell between the sheets and sweet as honey out of them.
