I found the book to be exceptionally written, with plenty of character development, especially for Salvatore. I loved how their story was spread out over so many years, and loved seeing them both change. A fantastic addition to the Mates series, and highly recommended by me.

4 stars for this perfect love in the perfect world book romances!

So let us just say that once again, Cardeno C. managed to surprise me with this Slow-Burning-Romantic-Comedy-With-A-Touch-Of-Erotica-That-Made-Me-Blush! ... As the two men's lives, developing friendship and dependence on each other unfold through the read, the more I saw that they were just two men who wanted to live a little. When they started falling in love with each other in the course of several months, then things got a little sexier ... I never thought that these two imperfect men could be so Perfect together and with each other. It was easy to fall in love with them.....so very, very easy. I can't seem to let these two go....

I love the way Cardeno C spins a tale. Even a short story like this one was so beautifully told.

I enjoyed Eli's character as he attempted to get Seth to fall for him and it was only his young age that helped Seth keep him at arm's length. ....It was hard to define what the funniest part of the story was....Eli finally got his man, but it wasn't until he had given up proving that persistence does pay off! The love between Eli and Seth was beautiful and inspiring.
