Four Novel Box Set

Strong Enough
When twenty-two-year-old Emilio Sanchez sees handsome Spencer Derdinger walking by his construction site, Emilio makes it his goal to seduce the shy professor. Getting Spencer into bed isn’t difficult, but Emilio soon learns that earning the trust of a man deeply hurt will take time and patience. With a prize like brilliant, sweet Spencer on the line, Emilio decides he is strong enough to face the challenge.

Spencer is surprised when he’s approached by the gorgeous construction worker he’s admired from the safety of his office window. Acting spontaneously for the first time in his thirty-eight years, Spencer takes Emilio home. When the casual hookup turns into the potential for love, Spencer realizes that if he wants to build a life with Emilio, he’ll need to be strong enough to slay his personal demons and learn to trust again.

More Than Everything
As a teenager, Charlie “Chase” Rhodes meets Scott Boone and falls head over heels in love with the popular, athletic boy next door. Charlie thinks he’s living the dream when Scott says he feels the same way. But his dreams are dashed when Scott unexpectedly moves away.

Years later, Charlie meets brash and confident Adan Navarro, who claims all he wants is a round between the sheets. After eight months together, Charlie is convinced Adan returns his love. But when the opportunity comes to be open about their relationship, Adan walks away.

Time passes and life moves on, but when Charlie learns the only two men he’s ever loved are now in love with each other, his heart breaks all over again. Scott and Adan tell Charlie they want him back, but Charlie doesn’t know if he can trust two people who have hurt him so deeply. Time might not heal all wounds, but with two motivated and strong-willed men on a campaign to win him back, Charlie will get more than he ever thought possible.

Something in the Way He Needs
Police captain Asher Penaz’s staunch professionalism bleeds into his home life, down to his neatly pressed attire and spartan apartment. He enjoys being in charge and in control, so his sudden and powerful attraction to the lighthearted, free-spirited Daniel Tover throws him for a loop. In his entire life, Daniel has never gotten what he needs, so he moves to the next place, the next job, the next attempt to find something worth staying for, always landing at the top of his game, but never feeling like he belongs.

The chemistry between Asher and Daniel sizzles, but with all that fire comes the risk of getting burned. As both men struggle to learn themselves while getting to know each other, the lines of desire and control blur. If Daniel and Asher can walk through the flames together, they might find what they desperately need.

The Half of Us
Short-tempered, arrogant heart surgeon Jason Garcia grew up wanting a close-knit family, but believes he ruined those dreams when he broke up his marriage. The benefit of divorce is having as much random sex as he wants, and it's a benefit Jason is exploiting when he meets a sweet, shy man at a bar and convinces him to go home for a no-strings-attached night of fun.

Eight years living in Las Vegas hasn't dimmed Abe Green's optimism, earnestness, or desire to find the one. When a sexy man with lonely eyes propositions him, Abe decides to give himself a birthday present—one night of spontaneous fun with no thoughts of the future. But one night turns into two and then three, and Abe realizes his heart is involved.

For the first time, Abe feels safe enough with someone he respects and adores to let go of his inhibitions in the bedroom. If Jason can get past his own inhibitions and open his heart and his life to Abe, he might finally find the family he craves.

  • Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2022
    I reviewed each book separately so this is just kind of an overall review. Loved the writing and each story is different.

    All of the stories are fast reads, but give a full picture. Laughs and steam…enjoyable all around!
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019
    Read these straight through. I laughed out loud and got a lump in my throat but isn't that what you read a book for - to live with the characters? Great job Cardeno C

    5.0 out of 5 stars Family collection
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2021
    Although I’ve read these books individually I couldn’t resist buying them in this complete box set to make re reads much easier as they are stories of found family and working through the tough times and they are just great in my opinion
  • Kat
    1.0 out of 5 stars Review based purely on the third book in the boxset.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2024
    If you buy this boxset do yourself a favour and do not read book 3. Asher will make you angry and disgusted. It is not a romance but start of domestic violence in making.

    Features unrealistic and uneducated portrayal of BDSM.

    This really should have editor or friend or somebody who would kindly say to the author this is not ok. Never should have been published the way it is.

    Reading Cardeno C books usually gives me a lot of feelings, unfortunately this time they were rage inducing.
    I am devastated that I completely lost trust in one of my favourite author.
