This is one of my favorites of Cardeno C.'s. Definitely in my top 3. It was so sexy and sweet, with little angst.
A really good, solid entry into a new shifter series... The mythology of shifters and their mating is not the same as in CC's Mates series, but all the hallmarks of a Cardeno C book are there...Watching Mitch and Simon learn each other, seeing Simon gradually accept that Mitch is different, and that he's attracted to him is the part of the story that made me love this book. I loved seeing the playful sides to both men once they opened up to each other. ..I am never let down by a CC book, the characters always fit the story, and they are always well written. There was nothing about this story that didn't work and I liked that CC made it different from the Mates series. I honestly can't recommend Blue Mountain enough.
Korban Keller, who was absolutely adorable with his sweet and pleasant disposition, is next in line to be the alpha of his pack. Samuel and Korban meet at a young age and run into each other fairly often. Samuel is convinced that Korban couldn't possibly have good intentions and is always leery of everything Korban says. This made for some very interesting interactions between the two of them. ...Korban brings out the passionate side of Samuel that nobody had ever seen before. For the first time in his life, Samuel understands what it means to truly love and care about somebody. These two alphas made an amazing team, and you can easily envision their future together. I really enjoyed the action that takes place as the pack alphas fight to gain control. Although this is part of a series, each of the stories can be read on its own. However, I highly recommend each of the three stories. They are each uniquely told, and this is one of my absolute favorite paranormal series. I love the concept of one true mate, and this story delivered it beautifully
This is a book in the Family Series. These books can absolutely be read stand alone as the timelines overlap for many so reading stand alone does not affect the readers experience. I loved Charlie, Scott and Adan's story. ....From the moment I opened the book, Charlie's voice pulled me right in as he takes the reader on a journey as he scrapbooks his life....The author manages to allow us to hear from Adan and Scott all while still hearing pieces in Charlie's voice; these three POV's were masterfully woven together to create a tapestry of happy perfect for this trio. The happy developed slowly and I adored how Adan and Scott wanted to care for Charlie; sex was not the priority. That made it even hotter when the sex did some and oh yes it is hot! I count on CC for amazing dialogue; something this author yet again delivers in spades...The author manages to give each man his own voice; each felt true to the character created and compelled me to want to read more.
A very strong message is conveyed in this one - treasure the life that has been granted to you. In Another Life is a story that enlightens how precious human life can be. It's a gift, and losing that gift just because of one depressing phase in it would only mean that you are losing on so many happy moments that you could have experienced. ... Read it for the magic of Cardeno C's fantastic writing. It grips you till the end. I, for one, was impressed by author's creativity with this book. The execution of that unique idea was perfect. The jumps from the real life to dream life and back weren't weird at all. It all flowed in a perfectly sensible manner. ... In Another Life is a food for thought. We ought to have those every now and then. So thank you Cardeno C. for writing such a masterpiece. this story will never be forgotten.
