Reviews

There’s exactly the right mix of romance, sex, and angst.  I will never hesitate to recommend his/her books

I also loved the strong family themes that were pervasive in this story…Abe's relationship with his family, Jason's with his ex-wife and children, and the new relationships formed when they became a couple. Jason wasn't all that likable for quite a bit of the story and I loved having my opinion of him evolve as he did. It was one of the strengths of the writing. This transitions from steamy (off the charts) encounters to a relationship of substance that works on so many levels.

The Book Nympho

What followed was a story of healing, letting go and learning to trust once again. .... I loved Chase! He was adorably, sweet, quirky and a hell of all lot of fun. .... Hell yeah, Cardeno C came through for me, yet again! .... I appreciated that Cardeno didn't just wrap it all up with a pretty bow. Nope, Cardeno made all of them work through their issues until they could move forward. ...As a fan of Cardeno C this book was everything I was expecting and as a hopeless romantic this story brought about the tears, the smiles and the "awww" moments I've come to expect from a fantastic romance.

Leann's Book Reviews

Asher is a Dom with a capital D. He demands that things be done his way and likes his regimented orderly life. ... Daniel has been searching all his life for that sense of family and belonging and he thinks he has found it in Asher. .. If you like your stories messy and your heroes flawed, then Something in the Way He Needs is a must!

Guilty Indulgence

This is a love story through and through, and yes, it is VERY believable and very down to earth. What I love most about Cardeno C's books is just the fact that the ultimate goal is just that: LOVE. The greatest part about these character is that both of them are very family oriented people. Jason has kids and Abe is not shy when it comes to interacting with them and that makes the heartfelt storyline easy to follow and very realistic.
