Jaymie: From the stories of friendships that develop into love to enemies who find they fit perfectly with one another, destined mates and second chance love, I always feel good after reading one of Cardeno C's books....f you want to read a story with just a tad bit of angst and a whole lot of sweet, great down to earth characters, romance and fun, Not A Game is a great choice. Heather: I seriously loved this book, I would bet I had a smile through most of this book. ...his is a book that I will reread. It's sweet, loving, funny and made my heart sigh. 

May-December romance that just hits all the great feels that you want in a story like this. 

Jude Harrison's character is revealed through the trips to Ethan's past and the final ending will make you smile and laugh even if you know what is coming. C. Cardeno has done a wonderful job with this story and this earns a big "don't pass this up" from me.

I enjoyed it very much. It was fun and easy, light and fluffy. It was the story of two men who become friends, then lovers, then fall in love....They have fun together, in bed and out, slowly building a friendship and love, and what will hopefully be a long life together. There is very little drama in this story... This is just a happy book, it made me happy to read it. When it was over I sighed and thought awwww…. I liked that!...It was sweet, and fluffy, an evenings reading pleasure. There is no deep dark story here, no drama, no tears, just a nice story. Well written, good characters, good sex, very enjoyable.

I ended up engrossed in the MC's and their story. It is a story full of love and emotion and strong characterizations. The sex is earth-movingly high on the sexual Richter Scale. Even if you are not a huge shifter lover there is a lot to like about Control as a contemporary MM romance. If you do like a paranormal with an emphasis on shifters and romance, some engaging MC's, and a few interesting secondary characters, then I recommend Control very highly to you. Control is beautifully named, the cover is beautifully crafted and it all suits the writing to a tee.
