Reviews

I loved this book when reading, and I loved it MORE when listening.

Archaeolibrarian

Cardeno has written such a feel-good story, and it's wonderful watching sweet, deserving Spencer finally believe he's strong enough and deserves this treasure of Emilio and his family.

Wake Me Up Inside is the first book in the Mate series from Cardeno C and I can't wait for more. Cardeno C has a straightforward narrative that delivers the story in a manner that makes it easy for the reader to follow the timeline of Jonah and Zev's relationship as it grows from childhood to adult. ... Take a good long look at that marvelous cover and it gives you an accurate picture of a scene in the book. Boy and wolf pup and Jonah and Zev, always together no matter the form Zev is in. How does that idea not draw you in? It is the characterizations that make or break a story for me and in Zev and Jonah we get two characters to connect with immediately.

Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words

Cardeno C's books are like a balm to my soul. I don't mind angst and drama when I know the payoff is a glorious HEA. ...This book blends tenderness with hawtness (CC's trademark!). ...The secondary characters, especially Samuel's gentle father, were wonderful! There was some conflict and angst, but once the guys found each other, they didn't let go! Wonderful writing, wonderful wolves, wonderful book!
