For me, the characters-especially the main characters-are the driving factor in determining if I like a story or not.  That's one of the reasons I keep coming back to Cardeno C.'s books...I know I'm going to get wonderful characters who are complex and deep, and with distinct personalities.  I'm also going to get characters that are easy to relate to, and that is clearly illustrated here in Not A Game.

All combine to give us a heart-tugging story of two wolves, one who wants what he can't have, and another that doesn't want what he needs most.

This is a delightful story that I will never forget.

Beans: The fight between these two makes for an incredibly enjoyable read. I love how Vy is fighting for his mate but also struggles with his desires. Robert and his fear of letting his bear control him, but Vy is pushing all his buttons, his human and shifter natures… Robert and Vy stop arguing and it turns into something else. Something beautiful and sexual with some deep cravings and it burns on the page. … I loved this book. It's fantastic and a great book to lose yourself in.Nina: Amazingly enough, these authors were able to create a story that surpassed all the hype. I adored every character and moment, there was not a false note, error or lose thread. This is one of the best writing partnerships that I have ever been blessed to read, the writing styles complimented each other and the two voices wove together seamlessly… Robert truly loved and appreciated everything about Vy and wanted to be with him, he just wanted their relationship to be as humans… They both want the same thing they are just coming at it from different places and calling it different things. But both men want to be together, they just have to find a way to compromise and see it from the other man's perspective. The sexual tension and desire between these men was delicious. When they give in to it and allow themselves to express their growing affection for each other it is amazing. The sex was hot,…

I love this book and I am still laughing about it. ... There is romance, wit, sex and it is a really good time.
