No major fall outs, misunderstandings, or life changing decisions, written in a way only CC knows how, and has mastered in a way others should take note. Its not necessary for the characters to fall out and mess up, sometimes, just getting from A to B is story enough, IF IF IF its told well. Told from both men's point of view, we get an insight into them both, which I really LOVE, mostly, because I like to know whats going on, from everyone. 

Another Highly Recommended Story from The Mates Series by Cardeno C.

Dani: I haven't read many shifter books. They don't appeal to me in theory. But this is Cardeno C. and Mary Calmes, so I was willing to put my baggage aside. And I'm so glad I did! This book was funny, just angsty enough to be interesting, totally absorbing, and sweet as hell. … What I really enjoyed about the shifter theme here is that the culture of the hawk ket came alive without getting bogged down by heavy backstory (this is how you show not tell!). … The relationship between Vy and Robert is at once tender and smoldering. Vy loves how strong and possessive and almost feral Robert can get in bed, and so do I! The lovin' here was damn good, especially at the end, with the biting and the…(go read it for yourself if you want the nasty details). … I was smiling so hard at the end, I may have split a lip. This is just a happy book, with well-rounded secondary characters, some action, lots of snarky dialogue that had me laughing aloud, one uppity, slightly insecure hawk, and one hot hunk of a grizzly bear.Sandra: So, I've always said I'm not much for shifters….Big mistake, clearly, because holy crap, I breezed through this in no time at all, giggle-snorted and lawled and snickered at the high-strung bird who found his mate and the big ole Grizzly bear who loves him back. …Also, holy hot boysecks, Batman…What I really liked about this shifter book…

This book was so much fun. … I love that even though there is great sex between them, that there is also so very much more. Robert needs to take care of Vy and Vy needs to submit to Robert. There is so much going on with the two of them… This book was such a great read. I enjoyed the entire story. I love that these two authors brought the very best of talents together and created such great characters and a wonderful story. I was never thrown out of the story with editing problems or things that didn't make sense. Instead, I was lost into the world of Vy and Robert. I wanted them to get their HEA. I wanted Robert to feel that Vy wanted all of him and to know that he was truly loved. I loved that Vy learned that to be a good man and to be a good leader, he needed to be balanced and Robert gave that to him. He learned that he could be strong and yet, he could be generous and kind as well. Read. This. Book. You won't be disappointed. It's worth taking the time and enjoying falling in love with Vy and Robert. Their love affair was so beautiful. They had their issues to work out, but the way that they banded together to get through, was just beautiful to see. Take the time to sink into a great book and be whisked away into another world.
