The first three chapters, well, you will want to make sure you are not in public when you read them. Hotness that only CC can write is there from the words Chapter One. And there was lots of that hotness.

Two Chicks Obsessed with Books and Eye Candy

The romance between Ben and Micah was very sweet, extremely steamy, and believable. There were quite a few excellent conversations between not only Ben and Micah, but also with Ben and his brother and brother's friends. ... The narrative of this story was wonderfully engaging, providing the reader with the sense that they are living the story. I loved this book and highly recommend it to those who enjoy character-driven romances.

The Romance Reviews

There's so much I enjoyed about this book but the most important thing for me was that these are not perfect men and perfect shifters. These guys have issues, a couple of them pretty big, and (because of Robert's issue) they don't rely on the mate aspect. But that mate issue is a huge deal and has to be addressed. I enjoyed the hell out of both Robert and Vy, and by the end I wanted them to have the happiest HEA ever. Lovely.

Hearts on Fire Reviews

Beans:  I really loved this book. ...mostly it was about two men finding each other. ...Just two men who became wonderful friends, lovers, and then partners. A beautiful book full of love and life.Nina:  This is a fantastic book ...This book rocked the sexy, fun and the behind the scenes look at the talented artist. ...I enjoyed the ease of the friends to lovers aspect of their romance. There was sexual tension and a slow, sweet build up to them moving to a sexual relationship that allowed time for the trust and emotional intimacy to develop....It all comes together so beautifully and I was left in awe of Cardeno C's ability to take a slightly implausible scenario and make me not only believe it, but rejoice and run out and tell people how wonderful this story is.
