I absolutely loved this short story, except for the “short” part. I could've kept reading about Hawk and Clint for quite some time to come. They're sexy, they're hot, the sex is to die for it’s so steamy, and they're both just downright adorable. Well done, Cardeno!

The author did a very good job using the time the men were together to move them from acquaintances to friends to lovers. Perfect Imperfections has a little bit of everything and is sure to be another hit for Cardeno C. If you have not yet tried anything by this author this book would be a great starting point.

While In Your Eyes is part of the Mates series, it can most certainly be read as a standalone. It is a lovely contemporary shifter read with engaging, fully realised MCs, and well developed secondary characters. I fell for Samuel and Korban and I had some really strong reactions to events in the book as well. It tugged at my heartstrings and it made me smile. The well named In Your Eyes delivers a well paced, gay shifter romance with much love and a HEA.

This book was simply music to my ears, right down to the most non-descript moan. This book was also by far one of CC's sexiest novels as well.

What can I say? I loved it. ... A story of fate, faith in the unknown and letting go of demons past, In Another Life is everything I have come to expect from a Cardeno C story. The characters were adorable, interesting and relatable. The emotions each one portrayed jumped off the page to impart the most impact in the reader and the chemistry was sizzling hot. I enjoyed each interaction, each funny moment and all of the emotional ones. The yearning, the trust and the love that the story invoked in me were the sentiments that make this such a heart-warming and touching holiday read for me. But most of all, what made this story so perfect, was the sense of rightness that the story drew from me.
