I fell in love with both of these men. Jaime never once made Oliver feel inferior. He was an amazing man and brought Oliver out of his shell. Jaime was tender and passionate. He gave Oliver everything he craved. Watching then fall in love made my heart melt.

Strong Enough held the meaning of life~ who one falls in love with can’t always be helped, a family should always be on your side, and but if there is strength of will and character, love will be found. Cardeno C. wrote strength in Emilio and Spencer and happiness prevailed.

Cardeno C tells great stories. They're sexy, sweet, moreish and satisfying and that's why they get high ratings from me. A Cardeno book is my go to happy place when I want to read something really feel good. ...I always know that I'm going to get loveable characters, a great (hot) romance, a well thought out back story, just the right amount of conflict to stop the story going into the realms of saccharine, tummy rolling love scenes and last but not least; the perfect happy ever after that never fails to leave me sighing happily. ...I'm getting really enamoured with these recent paranormal, shifter books that Cardeno has started writing and the 'Mates' series is turning out to be a very addictive read. ...There was a fulfilling build up of sexual tension but this was when the passion and romance side of the story came into it's own and as always it was pure Cardeno magic.... The chemistry between them sparked, the heat level reached boiling point and the sex was cold shower worthy, but still, always bolstered by a real sense of romance and love.

Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews

I totally loved this book and I hope you do, too. ...I fell completely in love with Jeremy and Reg right from the beginning. Jeremy is so clueless about his own feelings and his own desires, and he can be pouty, whiny, and needy. Most of the time, like Reg, I just wanted to ruffle his hair and snuggle him. Jeremy has been alone his entire life while surrounded by people. Reg is the most amazing combination of sexy, assured, confident, without being arrogant or cocky, tender, loving, smart, funny, and deep-down steady. He makes Jeremy laugh, he takes care of him, and that is exactly what Reg needs - someone to love and spoil.

Rainbow Book Reviews

The author did a very good job using the time the men were together to move them from acquaintances to friends to lovers. Perfect Imperfections has a little bit of everything and is sure to be another hit for Cardeno C. If you have not yet tried anything by this author this book would be a great starting point.
