The best thing about this book is how it's told over time. ... I loved watching Andrew and Caleb grow up, explore life and become men... I really enjoyed this complete look at these two characters' lives and how they loved and supported each other through it all, large and small. ... MM readers who enjoy a good erotic romance will adore Andrew and Caleb. They have a chemistry that leaps off the page from the time they first notice each other sexually and continues the entire book. Andrew enjoys body modification and this will delight MM readers as it did me. Unlike some authors who write good erotic interludes but not emotional intimacy, this author deftly combines both. The characters' emotional connection is just as tangible as their sexual chemistry.

I adored this. ADORED this. I loved how the author showed the immediate mating bond between the two, but also gave Simon reason not to believe in his own feelings. I loved how Mitch, the big Alpha wolf, the strong, silent protector, had a gentle and loving attitude toward Simon from the start, even though he was hurt when Simon, his mate, rejected him. He didn't give up, kept chipping away at the walls, slowly but surely. This is CC at the absolute best - a grandiose, romantic love story between two fated mates, without any contrived conflict, misunderstandings and other cliches we so often find in the books we read. It's the story of how one man quietly, persistently works his way into another man's heart, the mating bond working in his favor, but never taking choices away. As with all of CC's books, I was swept away by the wonderful, emotional writing, and closed this book with a sigh and a smile. Only Cardeno C. does this special brand of sweet, fluffy, fully satisfying romance.

This story is a true "happily ever after" . ...He Completes Me is a relationship story that follows Zach's POV from before he meets Aaron until they become fully integrated into each others' lives, extended family and all. I loved being Zach's head. He lived a hedonistic, fast-paced life before Aaron and his perspective is charmingly abrupt and open-minded. ... If you're looking for a sweet, dependable love story that doesn't use gimmicks to pace through the plot, check out He Completes Me.
