I enjoyed these stories immensely and the narration of the audio book seemed to fit perfectly for me. I felt so deeply for the characters and their experiences, getting consumed by their journeys to find true love. Cardeno C can write such powerful love stories and these two definitely lived up to my expectations. As with any time I finish a CC book, I’m looking forward to what is coming next!

I enjoyed Not a Game and highly recommend it. With its distinctly different characters, strong scenes of physical and emotional connection, and sweet HEA, it is a lovely m/m romance with excellent promise for a new series.

McFarland’s Farm by Cardeno C. was a total feel-good story. I loved it from the moment I was introduced to the spoiled rich kid and to the pensive, yet friendly farmer. Cardeno C. has a style of writing that makes you fall in love with her characters and keeps you coming back for more. 

The author did a very good job using the time the men were together to move them from acquaintances to friends to lovers. Perfect Imperfections has a little bit of everything and is sure to be another hit for Cardeno C. If you have not yet tried anything by this author this book would be a great starting point.

I absolutely adored this sweet and extremely steamy romance with lifelong best friends turning into lovers. The plot focused around getting Jake and Nate to realize that they should take their relationship to the next level. Jake has a strong, gruff personality with everybody except Nate. He treats Nate like the treasure that he is. Nate is just a sweet gentle guy except when protecting Jake. These two are the definition of soul mates, and I loved how their feelings for each other were never in question. They absolutely adored each other, and it came through in all of their actions throughout their lives. I loved the flashbacks which helped us get to know them even better. They were always trying to protect each other and help the other one be successful. The chapters switched between their points of view allowing me to really feel like I got in their minds and truly understood why they said and did everything. There were even a few scenes that had me tearing up with happiness.
