A very unusual pairing in the shifter genre and I soon learned that the two authors happily left behind any shifter cliche I could think of :) The hawk alpha may be strong, but he's also small like avian shifters in this book tend to be. He is also a control freak, who craves to release the control in bed. The bear shifter is even stronger and dominant in his human form when he is in bed with his lover, but he is usually completely tame and couldn't hurt a fly as it seems. He's even a vegetarian (like me – yay!) and it makes for very striking oppositions between the characters! …I loved that they aren't just opposites, they complete each other and there was a lot of chemistry from the very first time they met… One of my favorite aspects was the different take on bonds. Well, let's say the different perspective one of the MCs had. Insta-love is usually not my cuppa, so I applauded him for not letting fate determine his destiny but for wanting to take destiny into his own hand and make his own decisions… The animal halves seemed to be a big part of the characters and I loved the mythology of this world and the heartbreaking backstory of one of the MCs. I also really enjoyed the secondary characters in this town and it was fun to watch the characters interact ;) … I can really recommend this book. Try something that's…

The way Cardeno C writes this novella is no different to their other excellent storylines and building of the main characters – they grow and get to know each other.

This is a ridiculously funny, loving, romantic, and utterly sweet, story that sent me laughing from beginning till end. Once I did reach the end, though, I could not help but tear up. For so many reasons.....The stunning visuals were enough to make me cover my eyes and just laugh my way through while trying mightily to calm down. ... I have followed the Home Series by author Cardeno C. almost from the very beginning, even before I even thought of this review blog. Through the series, I saw an author grow as an - well, author. For although this does mark the end of this particular beloved series, this book #7 also shows us readers and fans the growth of the author. ...Giving us readers the stories we could only dream of. Beautiful stories of men, their relationships and their lives.

Cardeno C. writes M/M erotica with love,tenderness and a good dose of hot sex. I really enjoy this author's work and am happy to read and review it anytime.

What I loved about the dynamic of Jeremy and Reg's relationship was how ‘take charge' Reg became. Jeremy was the star but he liked Reg in control of things so he could focus on performing...Reg was the one person that seemed to care about Jeremy because he truly liked him and not because he could gain anything from knowing him. I think that was what Jeremy loved the most about Reg at first as well. That ‘like' soon started to reshape into something more. ...Since Jeremy never had a real relationship with anyone, it took him awhile to discover what he truly had with Reg. The slow burn was very sweet and romantic and so Cardeno C! Read this book for the nice permanent smile that will be on your face the whole time you read it. Also, because sometimes no angst is the very best thing in the world!!
