Their romance is like a slow burning fire on a cold night. Everything’s heating up perfectly! There’s medical issues and emotional drama that really moves the story along. This is pretty much a contemporary story about finding love in a small town.

The TBR Pile

Thank you, Cardeno, for an unbelievably gorgeous book of the kind of love that lasts from cradle to grave.

It isn't all sunshine and roses but that is the beauty and reality of the situation. A few days after finishing the book I am still feeling the warm and fuzzy afterglow- great story Cardeno!

On My Growing TBR

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.

Mrs. Condit & Friends Read Books

Until Forever Comes creates the perfect balance of drama, character development, and a sure fire action packed plotline. Ethan is an irresistible, realistic character who tells their story in first person point of view. Taciturn and dangerously dark Miguel is a compelling true mate for the spirited little wolf. Carnal encounters add fire to an already intense storyline. Suspenseful, raw sexuality, and great characters make Until Forever Comes a memorable hit.
