It's steamy yet romantic and just the perfect interlude I was looking for in the moment. No angst, no misunderstandings...just two people who were lucky to find each other at the right time.

The Book Nympho

Lovely, lovely story. I hated to see it end, and yet it ended at a perfect place. ... This is definitely an author I need to read more of. This story just made me happy.

Hearts on Fire Reviews

The enduring love between Kai and Abe was both wonderful and sad as others conspired to keep them apart. I loved every minute of the book.

Fallen Angel Reviews

I enjoyed Eli's character as he attempted to get Seth to fall for him and it was only his young age that helped Seth keep him at arm's length. ....It was hard to define what the funniest part of the story was....Eli finally got his man, but it wasn't until he had given up proving that persistence does pay off! The love between Eli and Seth was beautiful and inspiring.

Fallen Angel Reviews

I couldn't put it down!!! The story was beautiful and touching, once again showing that when you find the right person regardless of who they are then there is nothing that the two of you can't accomplish. It doesn't matter which of Cardeno's books I pick up, I know that I am going to fall in love. With bonds of loyalty, acceptance and love running so deep the characters become part of your family and you find yourself rooting for them to discover who they are and find their forever love.
