Reviews

This is the fourth, and probably last book, in the Mates series, which I loved. LOVED. ...This being a book by Cardeno C., there are also some super hot sexy times (when they then finally happen, OMG), and knotting. ...There is always such emotion within the sexy times, and I think that's one of the author's special gifts. ...This is definitely a fitting end to the series, and I loved that the couples from the previous book made an appearance. Well, all but Samuel. It can be read as a standalone, but why would you? Why would you not read all the books in this fantastic series? Exactly.

I will admit I never thought I could love this book more. But I do. If you are a true die hard romantic, you really need to pick up this book.

I hadn't read anything by C. in the past, and after reading this book, I have no idea why! ...C. did an amazing job of making me believe in the relationship and love between Reg and Jeremy. I adored both Reg and Jeremy. I loved that they were both so different, and yet complimented each other perfectly. Reg was this laid back and easy going guy who let everything slide off his back. Jeremy was a hot head that let life get to him, and was easily angered and quick to yell. ...The dynamic between them was so much fun to read! I also love the way their romance developed at a snail's pace throughout the book. I loved the way Reg proved that he could be the best friend and asset that Jeremy needed to keep a level head. I also adored the way that they built their friendship on games, beer, and pizza. It was genuine and real and I believed in it with everything. ...Their relationship felt real and honest and although I wasn't sure how it would all work out, I ended up absolutely loving every step of their journey...I adored Jeremy and Reg both, and thought their romance was absolutely perfect.

The Book Pushers

I loved this beautiful love story between a man who is always in charge but whose control starts to fall apart the minute he meets a free-spirited man who just wants to be needed....Dare I say their chemistry is off the charts and the heat level of this romance is exactly where I wanted it. Sizzling. The romance was heart-warming as well. .... this is a fabulous read and I recommend it easily.
