This is one of the most well written and diversely characterized Shifter series you can read, in my humble opinion. With each new installment, more of the Shifter world reveals itself. The people, the laws and the stubborn, unyielding beliefs some of them refuse to let go of. I love the way CC weaves the different stories together. This book and the storyline ties directly into the other three books and perhaps gives details and information you were wanting from those books. But mostly, it's a love story about two men, both stubborn as hell, but also loyal to a fault.

I absolutely LOVED Red River! This book totally rocks! The world building is stellar and unique. ... builds the relationship slowly and with great emotion just makes this book one of my all time favorites and a definite re-read. If you love shifter romance, love m/m romance, and having the focus be on building the relationship, as well as the world it lives in, then you will love Red River! 

I came for the sex, for the fluffy romance, and I got that, but what I'll take with me is the formation of a family. This isn't a book about overwrought declarations of love, but a quieter book about showing that love, feeling it in the small everyday events of life. ...don't underestimate fluff nugget romance novels or authors like Cardeno C.

In many ways this book shows a development of an already great talent. This story is smooth, the writing is clear, concise and beautiful. The shifts between times and voices was flawless and creatively done. The plot pulled me in and carried me along on a journey of first loves, loss, second chances, forgiveness, personal growth and what it means to truly love someone and want to create a life with them. I loved everything about this book. There was not one false note. Charlie "Chase" is an absolute delight. ... He's a dancer and a bit of a dreamer who has had to make his own way in the world and even though Scott and Adan each took a turn at breaking his heart, they could never break him nor forget him. Scott is great. ...He is the perfect first love and I fell in love with him right along with Charlie. ... Adan was complicated. He was so damaged by his macho culture upbringing with a huge chip on his shoulder and a drive to succeed professionally that left little room for much else in his life. I loved how he was with his men. He saw and remembered everything about them, he understood them. He, of all of them, grew the most in this story. In the most delightful and beautiful ways. ...Honestly, I was a little nervous going into this triad story. But I trust Cardeno C to get me to a happy ending. I knew…

I adored how relentless Isaac was in his pursuit of Rafi.
