To Touch You by Cardeno C. Release Day Review

May 4, 2017 by Denise


“His name is Salvatore Rossi. He’s a vampire. And he’s my true mate.”

By not relying on anyone except himself, Salvatore Rossi escaped a dead-end existence and reached the height of corporate success. But just when he has everything he always wanted, fate throws Salvatore a challenge he can’t solve alone and a young wolf shifter comes to his rescue.

Since childhood, Yoram Smith’s family was certain he would grow to become Alpha and save their beloved pack from its slow demise. When the time comes for a new leader, Yoram is forced to juggle his duty to care for a splintering pack with his duty to care for an absent mate, and his own strength suffers.

Being turned into a vampire didn’t alter Salvatore’s life philosophy: if you don’t rely on anyone, nobody can let you down. But when the boy who saved his life becomes a man who needs his help, the icy vampire must find his humanity.

I have been waiting for another Mates book for probably close to two years now and hot damn was it worth the wait.

Salvatore Rossi is on the fast track with his career. He has no time for friends, family or relationships. Then a chance meeting with a 7 year old boy in an alley in Miancarem sets his life on an entirely different course. His only salvation is choosing the long life of a vampire over the decidedly shorter life of a cancer riddled human.

Yoram Smith is a strong wolf, and he’s known since he was seven years old that he has a true mate out there. He’s even met the man, but as the years go on and Yoram grows into an alpha wolf he begins to wonder if his mate will ever come to him. 27 now, he hasn’t seen his mate in a decade with no signs of the man. He feels like he’s about to come apart at the seams now that he’s the Alpha and he’s being pulled in a million directions with no relief in sight.

Salvatore has made it a point to stay away. He doesn’t do any kind of relationship and he doesn’t understand the “true mate” thing everyone keeps telling him about. What he does know is that the pull to be near Yoram is getting harder to deny. When he can’t take it anymore he makes the trip from Vegas to Miancarem. He doesn’t expect to find his mate about to unravel at the seams. The stress of juggling pack needs with his own needs are wearing him down.

Sal and Yoram will need to work together to get the pack to embrace change and their relationship while learning to trust each other with their own needs.

This book was amazing. When Sal and Yoram were apart my heart was breaking for Yorry. You could feel the despair and hopelessness hop off the page at you. It made me want to throttle Sal for being so damn stubborn. Once they got it together, hot dog the chemistry was off the charts. If this is where the Mates series ends, it was a great story to end with.

“I’ll gladly give up forever to touch you.”

How does your heart not melt?!?

    Wazzup Fellow Writer, What you ?have here really have me interested up to the last word, and I wanna say to you I am not that typical man who finish the full length post of blogs as I most of the time got bored and tired of the trash content that is presented to me on a daily basis and I simply end up checking out the pics and maybe a headline, a paragraph and so on. But your headline and the first paragraphs were so cool and it right on the spot got me hooked. Thanks for tearing me out of this boring world! Thanks, really.

Delicious: A Second Slice: An LGBTQ+ Charity AnthologyParticipating authors:@beckgreyauthor ∙ @em.denning ∙ @kate.hawthorne ∙ @rhyswritesromance∙ @rory.maxwell.writes ∙ @authorkmcintyre ∙ @leeblairbooks ∙ @charlienovakauthor ∙@hipsterwriter ∙ @tobywisewrites ∙ @helenjwrites ∙ @kc_carmineWas every story in this anthology a 5 star read? No. But I am still giving it 5 stars because these were short, sexy and sweet. AND FOR CHARITY!There were a few by some of my favorite authors and some by authors I had never read. Each had their own unique voices and fun stories. We don't want angst in a short story!None of the individual stories are interconnected with each other. They may mention something from that particular author's previous books (a character here or there) but nothing that would leave you wondering where it all fit in.So sit down in a cozy spot and read a delicious story or two.5 pieces of eye candy ...

It is a slow burn with high tension and ends with a hard-earned HEA.CASEYBeing a motocross racer who can’t feel physical pain definitely has its perks.I take risks others won’t because I don’t fear getting hurt.Not even when an accident leaves me in a heap on the dirt track, fighting for my life.Which is how I meet Dr. Declan Porter,an emotionally stunted, sexy-as-hell, absolute asshole of a surgeon.Since I can’t leave this hospital bed for the foreseeable future, pushing Declan’s buttons seems like a great way to pass the time.But eventually, it’s time for me to leave, and all I can think about is seeing him again.He thinks we can’t cross that line because I’ll need him to stitch my body back together,but I’m more interested in convincing him to take me apart.DECLANI’ve never crossed a line with a patient.Not even the one who accused me of sexual harassment a few years ago.It’s never been an issue until hotshot motocross racer Casey McIntyre shows up in my OR.The kid has an ego the size of a jetliner and the boldest mouth anyone’s ever used toward me.I want to ignore him, or pass him off to my residents, but when the hospital CEO demands that I personally oversee Casey’s care, I know I’m in trouble.Nothing is worth losing my medical license for.Especially a patient half my age with a career choice and congenital disorder that will require my specialized skillset in the future.Casey is hellbent on getting under my skin, and the longer I’m around him, the more I start to think maybe I want him there.#jilliandwray #mmromance The Author Agency ...
