Cardeno C. – CC to friends – is a hopeless romantic who wants to add a lot of happiness and a few “awwws” into a reader’s day. Writing is a nice break from real life as a corporate type and volunteer work with gay rights organizations. Cardeno’s stories range from sweet to intense, contemporary to paranormal, long to short, but they always include strong relationships and walks into the happily-ever-after sunset. Cardeno feels that characters write their own stories and just hopes to find enough time to get those stories on the page.
Cardeno’s Home, Family, and Mates series have received awards from Love Romances and More Golden Roses, Rainbow Awards, the Goodreads M/Romance Group, and various reviewers. But even more special to CC are heartfelt reactions from readers, like, “You bring joy and love and make it part of the every day.”
Mary Calmes lives in Lexington, Kentucky, with her husband and two children and loves all the seasons except summer. She graduated from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. Due to the fact that it is English lit and not English grammar, do not ask her to point out a clause for you, as it will so not happen. She loves writing, becoming immersed in the process, and falling into the work. She can even tell you what her characters smell like. She loves buying books and going to conventions to meet her fans.

What have we here?! Cardeno and Calmes? I either really like or love Cardeno’s story style and really like or meh Calmes’ story style. They would make fabulous babies together, me thinks.
Very interesting premiss for the book. I’ve never read a hawk shifter book and am very intrigued. Definitely added to my TBR. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

Well I’ve already bought and read the ebook – and loved it. Mary Calmes and Cardeno C. are two wonderful authors and every book they write alone is a must buy and I’m looking hopefully toward more collaborations from them 🙂
