What a fantastic story, from one of my favorite authors!

All of Me by Cardeno C will have you crying and have you cheering. These two took a wrong path and paid a high price. Neither realized the price the other was paying. Both men took the actions needed once they realized the truth of the past. Uniting them was beautiful to see and makes for romance at its best. Cardeno C knows how to write a romance that will touch our heart and soul. All of Me is an incredible story of acceptance and love.

Zach is a very angry and hurt young man, although I doubt he would admit to either emotion. Since he left home when they emotionally abandoned him for being gay, he doesn't believe in relationships, he doesn't kiss - that's too intimate, he wants nothing to do with his home town, he barely keeps in touch with his brother, he is OUT and PROUD and will take offense at any little slight he imagines. ... It was so beautiful to watch Zach as he realized that Aaron needed him in so many ways. No one has ever taken care of Aaron, but Zach can. Zach can be that one person that gives back to Aaron as much as he gives to Zach. Watching them find and make their own family was such fun for me... Thank you, Cardeno, for another insanely wonderful story that reminded me of the important things in life.

This is an incredible story of two shifters coming together from different angles, one from shifter mating and the other from human attraction, and working out their differences to become a couple where love shines through. ...This was a wonderful story to read, it was such a joy to see these two men, who value different things about a person, to come together and make their relationship work. It isn't easy though because Vy places such value in his animal instincts, but Robert goes with his human instincts... Control is another beautifully blended story, the authors writing slips seamlessly together and complements each other perfectly. ...The storyline is wonderful showing that getting to know your mate is just as important as the mating instinct. There is some danger, tension, and violence but none of it is overdone and fits perfectly in the story, it isn't just there for show. I recommend this to those that love shifters, difficult matings, fantastic characters, a great storyline, hot sex, a story that leaves you with the warm fuzzies and a wonderful ending.

Cardeno C. has managed to put all the qualities of a full length novel: characters, storyline, betrayal, even murder, into a beautiful little package. Then Cardeno added a bow at the end just to make it extra special. All of Me is my first book by this author, but it will not be my last.
