This world that Cardeno C has created is as flawed as real life, but she finds a way to make it a better place.

There were so many things I loved about this story. I love how Jobe’s presence and calm is able to comfort Wes. I love how patient Jobe is with Wes until he finally sees. I absolutely love their HEA.

So this week is comfort week, where we each picked a book that to us says COMFORT...  Now I know what you are thinking “that is not a book but an author”, yes I know this but let me tell you something.  When I want comfort ANYTHING by Cardeno is a comfort read.

I loved this book! C. Cardeno kept me frustrated with Ben, laughing with him and sometimes sobbing right along with him on his journey to self awareness and a life worth living in every respect. C. Cardeno's characterizations and spot on dialog were so wonderfully executed that the story zipped along and I was finishing the end before I knew it. ...And the other characters C. Cardeno created to assist/love Ben into making the life adjustments necessary to become a whole man happy with who he is? They are just so real, so alive that they jumped off the pages at you. ... In fact C. Cardeno has laid out a beautifully realistic book of one's man's' journey to a happy fulfilled life, and the pitfalls he encountered or put up himself that had to be overcome before he could achieve his goals. As I said I loved this book and I think you will too. Don't pass it up.

I first read this on my kindle a few months ago and I think the second time round was even better for me....I loved how Spencer gained confidence throughout the book, I loved watching him realize that Emilio wasn't like other men who had trampled on him and that he could get his HEA. I loved that he learned to trust and that Emilio was there for him every step of the way.
