Reviews
I totally loved this book and I hope you do, too. ...I fell completely in love with Jeremy and Reg right from the beginning. Jeremy is so clueless about his own feelings and his own desires, and he can be pouty, whiny, and needy. Most of the time, like Reg, I just wanted to ruffle his hair and snuggle him. Jeremy has been alone his entire life while surrounded by people. Reg is the most amazing combination of sexy, assured, confident, without being arrogant or cocky, tender, loving, smart, funny, and deep-down steady. He makes Jeremy laugh, he takes care of him, and that is exactly what Reg needs - someone to love and spoil.
This one was great! I always enjoy books by Cardeno...Once they realize what is between them, and the passion kicks in, the sex is very yummy! They are a good match eventually, I liked them as a couple. ....The writing was great.
This is such a sweet and heartfelt story from beginning to end. My connection with the characters was immediate. ...I adore the connection between Abel and Kai. It's beautiful and strong and so very perfect. All of Me is a story of hurt, forgiveness, and new beginnings. The gravity of this story weighed heavily on me and pulled me into this world. I love the amount of emotion this author pours into this story. This novella is everything I look for in a comfort read. It's highly emotional. The conflict is strong and engaging. And the resolution is beautiful and heartwarming....In a short time, the CC delivers a powerful, precious story in both storytelling and fluid writing. ...I loved this story. Everything about it. Cardeno C has once again written a winner. I highly recommend the fabulousness that is All of Me by Cardeno C.
I love the concept of one true mate, and this story delivered it beautifully.
They say good things come in little packages and this beautifully written sexy novella certainly fits the bill....I loved this storyline and ... delicious and altogether addictive characters. This novella gave a whole bite size of steamy lusciousness that left me begging for more. Five stars!
