The writing is excellent as always. I couldn’t put this down and in fact started reading it again as soon as I’d finished. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a sweet, somewhat unique, low-angst romance. It’s funny, terribly sweet and somewhat thought provoking.

Highly enjoyable book full of humor with a sexy and tender romance that develops over time....I loved Seth and Eli as characters and how their relationship develops over time from friends to lovers. ... It's rare in romance reading to see a true friendship in leads and I adored this aspect of the novel. However, that isn't to say their relationship doesn't turn spicy when they're both ready for it, after all, this is a Cardeno C novel! ...But even better than the well written sexual chemistry is the emotional intimacy between Eli and Seth. ...I think humor is extremely difficult to convey, especially in a romance novel but this novel had many laugh out loud moments for me.

As with all of this author's work, you are captivated from the first word to the last. ... So, this story is told over a fifteen year timeframe and is told from all three men's POV starting with Charlie's. The way CC was able to set the stage for the story to be told was brilliant for they're not simply telling it. ...This story will pull so many emotions from you; heartache, happiness, triumph, loss; you go through and feel them all with Charlie or Chase as it was. You will absolutely adore these characters, but not all of them and certainly, not right away. ... The journey Charlie takes through life is a painful one, but the roads that he travelled took him exactly where he was meant to be. ... There are so many delicious layers to his wonderful story. The characters and their storylines are blended together perfectly. This book is an engrossing and, at 234 pages, substantial read. I highly recommend this book in addition to others written by this author. This is a definite must read.

Cardeno C did it again…make me have so much feels that the story just touched me.

Rarely do I find a story of two gay men as romantic but this one fits that bill perfectly. The author took two damaged guys, one on each end of the spectrum and merged them into a loving and caring couple. The characters were so wonderful and they captured my heart immediately. ...It was wonderful to watch these two completely different men meld together and support each other..... this is another wonderful book about family and how it doesn't always resemble a storybook but still be perfect anyways.
