Reviews
I like that Cardeno C. can think/write outside the box, and does it so well I can really believe the storyline.
As the layers of the story are peeled back and the true nature of the characters and their intentions are revealed, I found myself murmuring an “awww”, something this author is known to inspire in readers.
There is a lot of depth of character in this book that made me want to turn the pages and want more. I like how they learn to be friends and lovers… There is a lot about trusting yourself and letting yourself be who you really are. That and the great storyline makes this book one for the keeper shelves. Highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a different kind of shifter story you can fall in love with.
Watching these two men come together and work to find a way to trust and love was incredibly beautiful and completely fed my romantic soul. Beautiful, romantic and wonderfully written! This author excels at writing compelling characters that you want to know in real life.
I enjoyed both of these books for the same reason. They give hope. We all need a good dose of hope, especially during the holidays when depression can take hold of you.
