The narrator, Alexander Collins, does an amazing job with the voice work on this book. We get not only distinct voices for each character, but there are subtle changes as they age over the course of the story. Pacing and style are some of the best, as those who have heard Collins’ narrations before have come to expect. Voices are strong and the interplay between them is a lovely thing to hear when handled by someone who obviously takes his voice work seriously. It adds a new layer to the story told by Cardeno C. We are treated to some top notch narration.

The Novel Approach

Zev and Jonah are two very amazing, easy to love men, and I loved the fact they were best friends turned to lovers. Watching Zev give up everything, including his health, so that Jonah could live his dream was a bit painful. The dragged-out love affair slash mating made it all the sweeter when Zev and Jonah finally committed.

Sigh. This was so yummy and romantic and sexy, I just loved it. Cardeno C has created such a wonderful friends to lovers story here in Perfect Imperfections. I loved these guys together from the very beginning. They are such a perfect match for one another...Almost the whole book focuses on the two men developing their friendship and ultimately their romantic relationship within the very close confines of their travel together. This works so well with the story as the reader is just drawn right in to the intimacy these men have created. I could just feel the bond between them and loved watching these men interact....So this was another big hit from Cardeno C for me.  I absolutely adored Reg and Jeremy completely. They are such a wonderful couple together and meet each other's needs so perfectly. I really loved watching both their comfortable friendship and their romantic relationship grow over the course of the book. Wonderful story and highly recommended.

This book gave me everything I was hungry for and didn't even realize I was craving! Make sure you have a strong sweet tooth before diving in. Emilio, oh my, Emilio. He's sex on legs – big, but gentle, tough but caring, young with an old soul, protective and irresistible all rolled into one wickedly hot package. ... Spencer. He's smart, shy, vulnerable, kind of messed up, completely bewildered as to why a young and sexy hunk would be interested in him, and thoroughly overwhelmed with Emilio's confidence and direct approach. ... I loved and adored these guys together. Their passion was enough to set off a raging forest fire. The age gap worked really well, especially having a super confident younger man going after the uncertain older man who carried some baggage. ... There's virtually no angst in this story and I ended up loving it that way. The relationship begins immediately and just grows stronger with each successive page. Whenever I'm craving a really good dessert, I'll be reaching for this story again. Definitely one of my favorites by this author and a keeper on my favorites shelf!!
