I had so much fun reading this almost zero-angst, fluff-filled, fairy tale-like story that I am still smiling when I think of it....The HEA was glorious, and left me smiling wide.

Gay Book Reviews

CC - I loved you before, but now? I'm insanely crazy over you. You just added something to this book that I never in a million years imagined you would, and I'm so thrilled I can hardly stand it.

It was so easy to get lost in this story with that voice...... Cardeno C's stories are always fun, sexy and sweet

Book Babes Unite

Perfect Imperfections was such a fun phenomenal read. It was a fantastic story with characters that will have you calling them friends forever. Cardeno writes a story with wonderful dialogue that makes you feel like your in the rooms witnessing the conversations. It is a fabulous talent and it truly is what had me hooked on the story from chapter one....JJ and Reg will captivate your heart along this amazing journey.... The sex is so HOT tender and romantic!! of course there is this one scene that involves some toys that will make you pant!! Freaking awesome. This is most definitely a MUST READ and I am sure I will become a goto reread book!!

Twinsie Talk

I loved the humor with which Ethan tells his story and the change in mood from totally flippant and somewhat annoyed with life to thoughtful, appreciative and loving at the end. ... Deep feelings and good characterizations are not easy to develop in such a short story, but the author manages it really well. Ethan pulled me in from the very start; while it was the initial humor that made me smile, it was his cluelessness that kept me reading. I wanted to know if he'd get it. And at the end, when he finally admitted how he felt, the depth of his emotions was very rewarding. If you like short, sweet stories with a (temporal) twist, you will probably like this one.
