I really loved watching these two rediscover why they worked so well when they were a couple and also figuring out what came between them in the first place.  I loved these two so much, Richard likes being in control and Todd thrives on that.  Even though this book is on the shorter side and I finished in one sitting, it is one of those that I know I will be re-reading many times, like when I need a hug.  Just like most all of Cardeno’s books this is one I definitely recommend if you want something sweet, hot in that alpha male “just do what I say cause I know what is best for you” way.  You won’t regret it.

I enjoyed Not a Game and highly recommend it. With its distinctly different characters, strong scenes of physical and emotional connection, and sweet HEA, it is a lovely m/m romance with excellent promise for a new series.

If you want to read a awesome book, go get it, it’s worth every penny.

Cardeno has written such a feel-good story, and it's wonderful watching sweet, deserving Spencer finally believe he's strong enough and deserves this treasure of Emilio and his family.

I was immediately drawn into the interesting lives of the two heroes, Zach and Aaron. Not only did they breathe life off of the pages they wormed their way into my heart and I loved every minute I spent reading about them. The intensity of their feelings toward one another was beautiful to experience. I thoroughly enjoyed watching both characters evolve into stronger, self-confident men because of the loyal, loving and supportive feelings they had for each other.
