Reviews
I absolutely LOVED this book in audio format, I was laughing and I was screaming — all while I was driving to work.
McFarland’s Farm is a great start to the Hope series and I know fans of Cardeno C. and fans of the book Jesse’s Diner will totally fall in love with these two men just like I did.
I loved the humor with which Ethan tells his story and the change in mood from totally flippant and somewhat annoyed with life to thoughtful, appreciative and loving at the end. ... Deep feelings and good characterizations are not easy to develop in such a short story, but the author manages it really well. Ethan pulled me in from the very start; while it was the initial humor that made me smile, it was his cluelessness that kept me reading. I wanted to know if he'd get it. And at the end, when he finally admitted how he felt, the depth of his emotions was very rewarding. If you like short, sweet stories with a (temporal) twist, you will probably like this one.
Where He Ends and I Begin is part of Cardeno C.'s Home series. And, yes, I absolutely adore Jake and Nate's story. It's arguably the best in the series. I say arguably because I've read them all and each time I finish I think that book is my favorite. But seriously, this friends to lovers story is so very precious and enthralling, readers feel as if they know the characters, experience each character's joy and fear. It's truly a captivating story from beginning to end.
Cardeno C is quickly becoming one of my favourite m/m romance authors, especially for a quick, sweet romance....What I loved was how Jared and Lucas circled around each other, neither knowing that they were the other ones crush. I loved that Jared would not put up with any of Lucas' spoilt antics, and tells him so right up front. Rawwwr that's hot! And you just know that when these two get their act together it is going to be hot and explosive. And boooom it sure is. ...McFarland's Farm was a great introduction to a new series of novellas, and I will definitely be checking out more as they are released!
