This is an interesting take on the age old story of shifters.  One pack has given up the old ways and teachings, the other still very much in tune. And because of this, one wolf is very confused and one is thrilled of the new life that’s about to began.

Wake Me Up Inside has a great balance of romance, sweetness and angst.

A well-written and steadily-paced storyline that spans over a decade of time...I would highly recommend IN YOUR EYES to fans of the Mates Series as well as newcomers to Cardeno C.'s storytelling. While third in a series, it tells a complete story and can also be read as a standalone.

This is a beautiful love story. A rock star without the crazy lifestyle we sometimes read about. Not a great deal of angst, no wild parties or drug binges, more a man finding himself and realizing what he has been missing out on....I'm glad there was no major freak out when he realizes he is gay the story didn't call for that. Instead their relationship just continues to grow and evolve into something beautiful. I love this authors writing and this book is no different. We are given two men, not spectacular by themselves, who come together and form a friendship. From this comes a love affair that is a pleasure to watch grow and ends up damn near perfect!

I loved Jason and Abe together. But what I loved was how real the two of them were. ...I loved watching Jason grow and see how much he felt for Abe. I loved watching them deal with the issues that they faced in their relationship. This is a sweet and very sexy story about two men finding love when least expected. ... Abe and Jason were very sexy together and Jason was sexy as all heck with his dirty mouth. But there was a real love story in between the sex and I loved it. Definitely a must read!
