Cardeno C’s Mates series is probably my favorite “shifter” series of all time. I have read and listened to it over and over and over – probably one of them each month....This was a fantastic addition to the series – and can be read as a standalone- but I don’t recommend it. Reading this series in order will let you appreciate all the secondary characters and what it means when they act as they do.

I love Cardeno C.'s writing and I usually end up with a massive smile after being swept away by gorgeous writing and a romance that makes your heart sing and sweeps you along with the characters.  This was no exception: beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this was certainly a beauty in more ways than one.

It's an uplifting story and I highly recommend you make time to read it.

I liked Johnnie. It's trademark Cardeno C - sweet, sexy, easy reading with one protagonist who starts off somewhat annoying, one who is very sweet and wins over the oblivious one.

I cried, cringed, melted and on a few occasions, laughed through this book and highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys romance that is not easily achieved, some angst and a lead character that is delightfully flawed that he seems perfect!
