I really loved this book. Zach took awhile for me to really get into him, but once he did…I was rooting for him to see that he has value and that he can do a commitment. The Very Best Part of the story was the Bonus Scene that was done. So sweet and just added to the story.

Jesse’s Diner by Cardeno C. is a heartwarming May/December romance that is delightfully angst free. This sweet yet steamy addition to the Hope series can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend the entire series.

I loved this little sweet romance. I thought the whole thing was handled very sensitively and it was nice to watch a relationship develop and layers get peeled away. I was really invested in them as a couple and rooting for their happily ever after. A sweet love story, that had enough side story to keep it on the right side of sickly, I will definitely seek out others in this series.

The sexy times are hot, but also emotional, and while this book, like most from this author, rates high on the fluffy scale, I really like reading that kind of story.

I recommend this to those who like new and unique shifter stories, those who love their M/M romance with some smoking hot sex scenes, including a first time experience. And, of course, to those who love and follow Cardeno C. You won't be disappointed.
