The first thing i loved about this story is Oliver. For once a normal guy!!! He's overweight and insecure but he's just gorgeous!! I love how awkward he is. Then the second thing i loved. Jamie! He's a six pack wielding hottie and he fancies the pants off Oliver!! Perfect the pair of them! The third thing. The sweet lovely story-line... awwwwww i wanted to be there every step of the way with them watching dreamily from the sidelines! I felt every ounce of love between them and it made my heart swell! Truly beautiful!

Stoic, socially awkward Samuel & sweet, understanding Korban? PERFECTION.

I absolutely loved Control. It is beautifully written with so many elements that worked perfectly for me. …The world building is wonderful…I also love the way the men's animal natures are done so well. Whether it is Robert's love of nesting and cuddling, or Vy's pleasure at flying and almost literal ruffled feathers when he gets worked up, we really get a nice sense of the animals within these men. The story is called Control, and that theme runs throughout the book….I loved the world these authors created and the wonderful way they portray the shifters. I found Robert and Vy such a great match for each other, one big and gentle and the other feisty and small. The two men are so different, but somehow they find comfort and strength in each other in such a lovely way. The story is romantic and sexy and really engaging. I just loved Control and very highly recommend it.

Rarely do I find a story of two gay men as romantic but this one fits that bill perfectly. The author took two damaged guys, one on each end of the spectrum and merged them into a loving and caring couple. The characters were so wonderful and they captured my heart immediately. ...It was wonderful to watch these two completely different men meld together and support each other..... this is another wonderful book about family and how it doesn't always resemble a storybook but still be perfect anyways.

One of the many things that make this particular Cardeno book enjoyable is main character Samuel Goodwin. ...He's like a shifter Mr. Darcy. A shifter Mr. Darcy who hates Korban Keller.....He's never seen any proof that two males may tie together and therefore the possibility doesn't exist for him. Which makes it even sweeter when, after a series of dramatic events, Samuel finally realizes that what he's feeling is love....What I like most about this whole series is the way Cardeno deals with the ever popular shifter mates theme. As I stated above according to the shifter lore found in this series there is only one correct combination that makes up a mating; males and females. But Cardeno shows that not only can two men love each other, two men, even two species within the series, can complete each other..... this book was the fluffy, romantic & sexy good time you can expect from a Cardeno C. book.
