When I read To Touch You, I didn’t realise it was part of an established series, so I can honestly say that it can be read as a stand-alone novel despite being the fourth book in the Mates Collection.

It is always a joy to read a Cardeno C book. They are always a little bit of light in what can be a dark world at times.

The love scenes are awesomely hot, steamy and sexy but there's also some lovely moments of true romance mixed in there too and that lifts them up a notch. …Vy and Robert are meant to be together but it's watching them both come to that realization, each in their own way, mate bond or not, that's so lovely to watch…. As you can guess it's another one that goes onto my 'I loved it' shelf and another one that makes me thank the day I discovered m/m! … an appealing, engaging, feel good, nice and spicy shifter book that uses a familiar topic yet still manages to be innovative is just what the doctor ordered! Smiles all round!

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.

I also had the opportunity to review this book in AUDIO form, and it was just as delicious that way, as when I read it!
