So, this audiobook had me enthralled from the first word until the very last one. I was just taken in by this story and I really had a hard time putting it down in order to work. Sigh. I listened to this book while getting my nails done, grocery shopping, commuting to work as well as being at work. I listened any moment that I could.

Get this book, a bottle of wine and curl up on your sofa and enjoy a brilliant story.

MM Good Book Reviews

This was an awesome, hilarious romance between three men. ... This story line hinted of pure romantic drama but for some reason, Cardeno C. did not do the usual and instead surprises us readers with a lot romance, lots of laughter, some ridiculously hilarious situations and the Lentils Misadventure. That particular chapter had me giggling and laughing so hard I was crying. Of course the dogs were kind of weirded out as I was doing that at 3 a.m. Yes, 3 in the morning! Once I picked this up again after a suddenly and unexpectedly busy day, I just could not put it down. ... More Than Everything is an incredible story of love, humor and life. It has topped all of the other books written by the author, become my Family Series favorite, and set up the bar higher of readers' expectations for the author's future works.

... Partly that is because Charlie is a fabulous narrator. I just loved his dialog and his inner voice. ... He is confident and sharp witted and determined to be himself. ... Charlie is also the heart of the story, the person who ties the three men together, the one who is the nurturer and the caregiver and who is the rock that builds their family. ... I will be vague on the details here to avoid spoiling some significant events, but I will just say the three men reunite and there is an opportunity for them to all three be together. Again, the author really shows us how far these three men have come over the years (it has been about 20 since the start of the book). ..The three men are fabulous together and all make a perfect family... So I totally adored this story and it is my favorite for sure by this author. I loved the slow sweetness to the story. It is actually fairly light on the sex, at least by this author's standards, but at the same time, the passion and intensity between these men when they are together is amazing. Just the smallest scenes are so heated and meaningful. They are so sexy and romantic and loving that I just adored them. I loved Charlie's humor and narration, loved the way the story builds one relationship at a time until ultimately it all comes together. I just adored the whole thing. Exceptionally well…

Cardeno C. writes M/M erotica with love,tenderness and a good dose of hot sex. I really enjoy this author's work and am happy to read and review it anytime.
