I found the book to be exceptionally written, with plenty of character development, especially for Salvatore. I loved how their story was spread out over so many years, and loved seeing them both change. A fantastic addition to the Mates series, and highly recommended by me.

I love Cardeno C’s writing style, and this one is right up there with some of the author’s most emotion-evoking stories. And hot? Oh yes, this one is hot.

What a great love story! Cardeno C. just does it for me.

It packs a sweet punch and I loved every single word. Emilio and Spencer are simply wonderful together. For all it's sweetness, the characters and dialogue are beautifully written. ... I found myself smiling a lot feeling the happiness both men felt as they took their journey to love. The supporting characters brought more treats to the party insisting we all have a good time. I had a wonderful time getting to know these special men and I thank the author for inviting me along. This was a lovely romance, sexy, sweet and all that comes with. As always with a Cardeno C book, I look forward to more.

I loved so many things about this book. At the top of that list are the characters. I loved the tension when they first met, and how they were thick as thieves in relatively short order. And the sex - very hot, oh yes it was! Of course, the story was intriguing and kept me in its grip. It had a touch of humor, family drama, danger, and an ending that left me very satisfied. I think Cardeno C. is well on the way to becoming a favorite author of mine. Awesome book - I'm looking forward to so much more!
