Story is sweet with a touch of spice and some nice shots of humor

I hadn't read anything by C. in the past, and after reading this book, I have no idea why! ...C. did an amazing job of making me believe in the relationship and love between Reg and Jeremy. I adored both Reg and Jeremy. I loved that they were both so different, and yet complimented each other perfectly. Reg was this laid back and easy going guy who let everything slide off his back. Jeremy was a hot head that let life get to him, and was easily angered and quick to yell. ...The dynamic between them was so much fun to read! I also love the way their romance developed at a snail's pace throughout the book. I loved the way Reg proved that he could be the best friend and asset that Jeremy needed to keep a level head. I also adored the way that they built their friendship on games, beer, and pizza. It was genuine and real and I believed in it with everything. ...Their relationship felt real and honest and although I wasn't sure how it would all work out, I ended up absolutely loving every step of their journey...I adored Jeremy and Reg both, and thought their romance was absolutely perfect.

Wake Me Up Inside is the first book in the Mate series from Cardeno C and I can't wait for more. Cardeno C has a straightforward narrative that delivers the story in a manner that makes it easy for the reader to follow the timeline of Jonah and Zev's relationship as it grows from childhood to adult. ... Take a good long look at that marvelous cover and it gives you an accurate picture of a scene in the book. Boy and wolf pup and Jonah and Zev, always together no matter the form Zev is in. How does that idea not draw you in? It is the characterizations that make or break a story for me and in Zev and Jonah we get two characters to connect with immediately.

Witty, Smart, and hard to put down is how I would describe Perfect Imperfections. I will admit that I'm not one to read M/M Romances, but I seriously fell in love with Jeremy and Reggie's story. The witty banter between these two will have you in stitches. Perfect Imperfections gives you insight into a nontraditional romance and the stigma that comes with it. Jeremy Jameson is a international rock star who leads a lonely life surrounded by hundreds of people. It isn't until one night when Jeremy meets the easy going Reg that he soon discovers a best friend and lover. I really enjoyed reading this story and I would recommend Perfect Imperfections to anyone who enjoys to read a clever romance with a great ending.

The combination of Cardeno C's magnificent writing style and Paul Morey's delightful narration skills turned this into a very epic love story. I would actually call this the PERFECT dose of romance and heartbreaking revelations that one as a bookworm deserves. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
