This is a two star book for me, but I have to admit that I had a silly grin on my face as I was going through it, so I bumped the rating up to three. I'm not a fan of instalove, but this was sweet, and the mc's actually know each other for a long time before they become intimate. Unfortunately, t...
I had such high hopes for this one especially with all of the rave reviews. It lacked something for me. I never felt an emotional connection to the characters, and it told told, told, more than showed. I kept comparing it to my fave "childhood friends to lovers" book Locker room by Amy Lane. Th...
So I normally avoid rockers like the plague. I just don't enjoy them as a rule. This book is my exception, perhaps because the love story was just so sweet. Reg is the perfect match for Jeremy - his rock, his best friend, and his true love. This was not insta love, theirs was a love that grew fro...
Well, that was to 'much' of everything. To much sex, to much drama, to many emotions based on nothing. I dropped it half way because I started to skip some passages already. Many things just didn't make sense to me either. I liked how it started, with Zach all rebel. But the character development...
CC's books are my go to when I need a short feel good romance to pull me back up. I'm reading them all over the show in order (for instance in Mates I read book 3 first and now i've read book 2, yet I still haven't read 1 yet) but I don't care.I'm gradually catching up on the back catalogue. I pr...
I really shouldn't of enjoyed this as much as I did.Asher is pretty much all I dislike in a character. Brash, bully, selfish, arrogant you name it negatively and Asher fit the bill. And yet watching him with Daniel was just so sweet lol. Daniel was pretty perfect and watching him tame Ash without...
I didn`t want to read it, I had to!Unimaginable torture...Cheered on by a friend who laughed her silly ass off - you know who you are - I somehow made it through this book. Slightly ruffled but still in one piece I managed to finish.I can`t remember the last time I felt so relieved...And for the ...
Right, so this really was a fairy tale. At some point, I just stopped expecting anything remotely realistic to happen and enjoyed the ride. For a fairy tale, it truly was fantastic. Anything that someone would want to happen, happened. However, as much as I smiled throughout, I can't give this mo...
This is a love story, a total 100% love story.It starts off with two men who have known each other their entire lives becoming lovers, and is basically the ping pong of their early physical relationship, because as the book shows they have had an incredibly strong emotional bond.Nate and Jake are...
Ok. I'll admit it. This book is pure sugar, but I loved it. I am a sap for sap...Let me start by saying that I wasn't sure I could like this book after meeting Zach. He wasn't likable to me. I didn't think that there was any way for him to redeem himself in my eyes, but somehow he did. I wa...
There is something about this book that grabbed me, sucked me in and wouldn't let me stop reading. It was sweet, it had a lot of sex, it had snark and there was a least one time where I wanted to smack each and every character.I loved Zach's voice. He is snarky, and honest with himself (even wh...
Another well written book by Cardeno C. I really enjoyed this book even though I was an emotional mess,lol. I was like OMG..Thats who Ben was,I forgot about that at the end of the 1st book,then I was like yay!! I was so mad at Ben many times!! Thank Goodness he smartened up :) I love HEA's so gl...
The four stars, to me, are for enjoyment of the narrative. The protagonist and first person story-teller contributes humor and personality. He is somewhat self deprecating and invariably silly. This story is pure romance, some familial conflicts, but that seems part of the romantic tension. A cha...
Cute holiday friends to lovers story told over the 8 days of Hanukkah with time jumps between each day. An unusual way to structure a story but it worked for me. I also liked the way the story was told by Mccabe as though he's recounting the story of how he got his HEA with Josh, so he would make...
I had a good time with this book. Another story of friends who fall in love with each other, my favorite subject. As I have always said, better to fall in love with his best friend than a stranger. And as always, the author has succeeded in making the history, a sweet moment, hot and pleasant. It...

I can tell you with any doubt, that this book will make u laugh, cry and your heart swell with happiness :) I can't lie: This book caught my attention exclusiv...
3.5-4 stars. I had a bit of a hard time getting into this book. Jason was such a peckerhead. Abe completely stole my heart with his patience with Jason and accepting all that came with being in a relationship with him. Jason charmed me once he gave into his feelings for Abe. Angela was deligh...
This one, the third in the Mates series is best so far. A nice balance of sweet, drama, danger and completion. There is death, betrayal, loss and pain but it's balanced by a healthy pack, family and finally love. Samuel knows from a very young age that he will be the pack alpha when he is old eno...
I'm not really sure what to say about this story. I love second chances and I don't have a problem with bully/bullied relationship if properly explained, but here it wasn't. Isaac was a sweet character, but there was zero groveling and apologizing! Other than one lame 'could you forgive me' there...
This looks like it will be the first instalment in a series based around the town of Hope, population 3000. I really enjoy reading the M/M genre and this was a great quick read.Jared lives on his farm, growing produce for his growing list of clients. This is something he knows and loves doing. ...
What can I say its Cardeno C and there's not much of his I don't like so once again I wasn't too worried. Second pre sleep read last night and again short sweet and satisfying. Has a touch of " A Christmas Carol" feel to it even though this has nothing to do with Christmas. A lesson in not seeing...
A lovely anthology to celebrate not only the beloved characters of the Home Series, but the recent US Supreme Court decisions to dump DOMA and reject Proposition 8 in California.I have always loved the characters of this series and it was lovely to read an update into their lives and find out how...
He was pacing.“Hi, Dad.” I pushed myself up to a sitting position. “Is everything okay?”“I love you!” he barked.“I, uh, I love you too?”“Your mother thinks it’s important for me to remind you,” he sputtered as he stomped back and forth in front of my bed. “I told her you already know, but if you ...
“Yes.” The valet fidgeted in front of the truck door. “You haven’t been in there very long and you seem a little, uh—” Though Clint tried to stand patiently and wait until the valet moved, he found himself suddenly tipping sideways. But only his top half. He ma...
