Oh my gosh, this was a great story. I liked it best of all the Mates collection. Yoram was a doll from the time we first meet him at seven years old when he, in turn, sees Salvatore Rossi for the first time, to the time he’s a mature Alpha leader of the Miancarn Pack and he finally gets to claim his true mate. ... I love the author’s ability to write first-time sex scenes and to infuse innocence in an otherwise worldly character, and Cardeno C does it extremely well in this story. ...If you’ve read any of the previous stories, you’ll have a chance to get an update on those characters as well, but if you haven’t, you can still read this one. Just know that when you finish, you’re going to want to go back and get the others in the series. Overall, though, if you are a lover of shifter stories and don’t mind a little vampire mixed in, this one is a great story to pick up.

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

The book opens with Shiloh trying to take his own life with a razor blade, but this is just the beginning of the story. ... This story isn't like anything I have ever read before. Maybe it was a Hanukkah miracle, maybe it is what truly happens at a time like this. Most of us will never know, but Shiloh had the experience of a lifetime... literally. ... Like I said before, this is a very original story and there is a little Hanukkah magic and the spirit of the holiday season will creep right into your heart. This is definitely another win for Cardeno C.

The Novel Approach Reviews

This was an incredibly sweet romantic story. It's one of those stories where you can believe that the two men will be together from the cradle to the grave and possibly beyond... I would definitely recommend this author and this book to anyone who loves a good romance. It makes you believe that each of us has that one person who completes us.

We really get to see the awesomeness that is Jared and the growth that occurs with Lucas. ... When I got through with this book, my thought was how much it made me smile. And my second was, it's just lovely.
