I love Cardeno C. Her mates series is one of my favorite shifter series.

It's steamy yet romantic and just the perfect interlude I was looking for in the moment. No angst, no misunderstandings...just two people who were lucky to find each other at the right time.

It's like a three-layer cake with icing and sugar sprinkles and cotton candy spun on top: SO DAMN FANCIFUL and SWEET, you just can't stop eating it.

Cardeno C. has written a beautiful and compelling story about the power of love. I loved reading the interactions between Dean's wife and the guys. She was such a fireball that they were scared to cross her even thought she was much smaller than they were.

Beans: I really loved the premise of this story and it was beautifully written. Abel is a bit of an ass and Kai is so wounded it breaks your heart. I loved Kai's sister in this and I think Abel needed to grovel for years but Kai has such a forgiving heart and just wants his mate, his friend. ...Highly recommend!Nina: I enjoyed every minute of it. This is a story of both young love and love that endures for a lifetime....These men will steal your heart and have you begging for more. ...If for some reason you haven't already read this delightful little novella, you really must immediately purchase it and immerse yourself in all of the love, sweetness, passion, drama, and beauty that Cardeno C delivers to us once again.
