Cardeno has such an amazing way of adding a unique twist on each of her shifter stories...In some ways it’s haunting. Others funny and clever. In this one it’s emotional and rule bending. She shows that the old ways aren’t always the right ways and in doing this brings a clarity and freshness to a modern day shifter story.

With a mixture of signature world building and strong character development, JOHNNIE is the first in a new collection that is sure to be a "must read" from this point forward. Captivating and true to life, CC's characters earn their happy endings one lesson at a time and I loved every minute I spent in this world! - See more at: http://glbt.theromancereviews.com/viewbooksreview.php?bookid=18476#sthash.YUV2cNQs.dpuf

I really loved this story. It spans several decades and the unfolding of Zev and Jonah's maturity is a great read. When they finally reach their HEA, I got the full blast of a romantic fulfillment that made the heart thrum.

This was such a character driven story. I liked that it was a slow burn book. That Jeremy and Reg took the time to be friends before they became lovers. It was sweet and sexy and it was just right. There wasn't much angst in this story and It would have been so wrong to have it there. This book was just perfect the way it was. These two guys were so sweet together. I loved how they took their time falling in love with each other. They had a nice basis of friendship and allowed their feelings to grow from there. This was a really nice feel good book and you will not be disappointed in reading this story. If you're looking for something fun and sweet and just a bit sexy….this is the book for you.

Gah! If you want good MM Contemporary than Cardeno. C is your go to. Cardeno has written another great love story with a great meaningful story.
