I constitute the relationship between the three men, not to mention between Charlie and Scott, as well as Charlie and Adan, to be very superficial.

CC is my get-to author for sexy, depression-fundamental romance. I've read nearly all of Cardeno'due south book but picked up this ane on Kindle Unlimited just this calendar week.I found the relationship between the 3 men, not to mention between Charlie and Scott, as well as Charlie and Adan, to be very superficial.
When Adan and Scott meet Charlie again (this meeting felt entirely contrived), their first thought is that they want to fuck him. Both Adan and Scott are tops and not entirely compatible in the chamber, while Charlie's a willing bottom.
I wasn't feeling the love; the lust, yes, but the romance didn't work for me at all.
I likewise didn't like the many femme stereotypes. Charlie is happy cooking and cleaning, while the ii tops bring home the bacon.
The times lapses in the story left gaping holes in the narrative. Charlie loses his sister and becomes a guardian to his young niece and nephew. This is a major life change, only it's summarized in a couple sentences.
Had I read this book when information technology get-go came out, I probably would accept enjoyed it more, just I'm a more critical reader at present. CC'south more than contempo stories accept been large wins for me; this one was not.

Cardeno C has once once more managed to take me to my fluffy happy place. I oasis't read many menage books and I did wonder of Cardeno would be able to pull it off, merely I shouldn't accept worried because she nailed information technology.

Cardeno C has once once more managed to take me to my fluffy happy place. I haven't read many menage books and I did wonder of Cardeno would be able to pull it off, but I shouldn't have worried considering she nailed information technology.
What I loved:
*I love how she broke down the story into three different sections: Charlie & Scotty, Charlie & Adan, and Scotty, Adan & Charlie. She gave us a glimpse into the dynamics of each relationship and why they worked.
*I love that their love story spanned near twenty years. We were able to experience the joy of your first love and the heartbreak of losing information technology between Scotty and Charlie. As well, a more mature dear betwixt Charlie and Adan. Adan who was at a place where he was still allowing the pain of not having his family's approval bullheaded him.
*The sense of humour. I loved their banter and Charlie'southward inner monologues.
*Although, the story is written predominantly from Charlie'southward POV, nosotros are also treated to Scotty'southward and Adan'due south POVs.
*The steam. HOLY. Moo-cow. I'll leave it at that.
*The story had great piece of cake pace.
*I beloved how their story made me feel their highs and lows.
*The epilogue.
My only quibble:
*I only wish we could've gotten a little scrap of Scotty and Adan together. I understood why we didn't- this was Charlie's story- but the greedy reader in me wished for a little bit more of their relationship.
All in all an excellent story from Cardeno C. Love the characters and the manner their love story was told. 4.5 Stars. Highly recommended.

More Than Everything is actually three love stories in ane. Charlie and Scott, Chase and Adan, and and then, finally, Charlie, Scott and Adan.
Each tertiary of the story is told from a different POV, but each chapter is introduced by Charlie with a picture of their lives equally he adds information technology to a scrap-book and his explanation of each photo and memory. The first 3rd of the story is told from Charlie's POV. He begins with the oh-so-sweet retentiveness of the love story between himself and Scott in New York, and chronicles their six year relationship from friends to lovers. It'southward such a wonderful showtime love story, information technology simply made my center cook.
The second third begins years after his breakup with Scott where Charlie, like a phoenix risen from the ashes, has reinvented himself as "Chase" and is focusing on his dancing career in New York. The story picks upwardly the twenty-four hour period he meets Adan: a brash, egotistic, Columbia law pupil and switches to Adan's POV. This is where I had a bit of problem with the story. Because I hated Adan. Seriously, straight up would-accept-kicked-him-in-the-nuts-and-punched-him-in-the-throat-if-I'd-ever-met-him hated.
Chase falls in love with Adan, and where Charlie and Scott's dearest story was sugariness and tender and made me "aww" a lot, Adan and Chase's relationship made me rage because essentially Adan uses Hunt for sex and doesn't want to be seen in public with Hunt, considering he is afraid people will acquaintance the more flamboyant Chase with the more "manly" gay Adan is trying to be. Once Chase finally wises up to this it is heartbreaking. He severs all ties with Adan and goes about picking up the pieces over again. It'due south only in losing Hunt that Adan finally grows up and becomes a worthwhile human being.
In the last third of the story it'due south several years afterward and Charlie is raising his sister'southward two children. The three men are brought together in Nevada where Adan and Scott own a law do together and have been in a committed relationship for over five years. Things betwixt them are good and solid, but they've never gotten over their respective "one that got abroad". When they meet up with Charlie, Adan and Scott know it is meant to be that the three make their lives together. Injure by both men in different ways and no longer the guileless innocent who was decimated past their betrayals and past hurts, Adan and Scott have a long style to go to proving to Charlie they can exist trusted and a relationship betwixt them could work.
I'll acknowledge, they had to make me believe it too, because at this bespeak I was yet really mad at Adan. Told from Scott'southward POV these chapters bring the men together to work on getting their HEA. It sucked me in completely and had me rooting and auspicious for the boys to brand it.
I absolutely adored this story. I was completely and totally entranced from page 1. I loved Charlie's perspective and his snarky asides. I'one thousand a real sucker for that kind of grapheme, and Cardeno writes them perfectly.
Cardeno C. is my crack. Seriously.

I loved the relationship between Charlie and Scott. They were so in love. I loved them together.
I did accept a major problem with the fact that these two never had penetrative sex because 'they were so young'. No I don't buy that. Yous have been together for 4 years, y'all're young and you're horny. And then no, that was really unrealistic.
And I really didn't get that Scott would just move away to exit Charlie backside. It was very out of character for Scott.
When Charlie meets Adan I was still mourning for Scott. And yeah, Adan was an asshole, simply that wasn't my main problem with him. I just felt Charlie and Scott should have been together.
When Adan and Charlie broke up I was relieved. But when the three of them run into over again years later I REALLY didn't buy the fact that Scott and Adan were in a loving human relationship for the past 5 years.
They merely didn't fit. I never saw the beloved they had for each other.
I did similar the fact that they both wanted Charlie and then bad. But I secretly however wanted Scott and Charlie to make a run for it together…
A book with good parts and bad parts, but overall it left me feeling empty and a bit sad, despite the HEA.

Somewhere before the "aroused/resigned" period, I also came upon a level of acceptance and cautious hope, only other than that... my reactions were almost identical.
This book was heavily in the 4.v star territory until the clunkiest transition known to man took united states all to Menage Town. I fully capeesh an author trying to have a less anticipated route to become in that location, simply the coincidences needed in order to make it happen stretched the bounds of belief far too far. Which dropped that section of the story immediately to a ii star rating. But, one time I had a shot or two of vodka and accustomed the relationship as the new normal, it was back to the sweetness, funny, relatively angst-free volume I had enjoyed so much in the get-go.
Side note: The anniversary scene was pure, hilarious slapstick.
I can easily see how this book wouldn't exist a favourite of some, merely I actually loved the fact that the story was told through flashbacks and that each flashback was prompted by a different picture our narrator, Charlie, was putting in a scrapbook of his life. Thankfully, the books in this series can be read equally standalones, then if you aren't a fan of menage, or would-never-happen-in-real-life plot twists, then you can feel free to skip this 1 and move on to your side by side dose of CC's particular make of fluff.
Happy reading!

But fate steps in and Scott moves abroad. Shattered and broken hearted, Charlie picked upwards the pieces and went on to become the ballet dancer he had trained to be. * Five years later on he meets blackness haired, brown eyed , golden skinned Adan.
He's closeted, a Lawyer and from a staunch homophobic upbringing, fifty-fifty afterwards he came out to family. Now 25, Charlie goes by the name Chase for his career.

Adan says hurtful things and Hunt finds himself self alone, devastated, and decides to tour with a ballet visitor and saturate himself in piece of work and travel.

One day, notice comes that his sister died, leaving him two children, so off to Nevada he goes. Got a Vegas testify chore, and began his life every bit a dad. Strange things happen in life, and Charlie was looking at Scott and Adan, now partners, standing at his door.
Scott knew the kids through his sis, and the stupor was unbelievable.
* Charlie's photo album was very full, and he captured every big life happiness and sadness. This is a story of finding a ménage relationship, so I'll not tell you whatever more. This story is hilarious, tender, tragic, and heartwarming.
Mistakes are made, hearts cleaved, but one truth remained, and that was their love never died. It may seem like I've told you too much, just yous don't realize there are funny and moving anecdotes to each and every event.
This is a full bodied story you lot'll dear, and I've only hinted at the crush.
I highly recommend this brilliantly written tale of a full, at times, lonely life, finally reaching the goal of true dearest.
Savor !

4 Hearts!!I love my polyamorous books and 'More Than Everything' delivered on a lot of the aspects I love well-nigh them, but before I get into the story I actually want to talk well-nigh the narration.
Ezekiel Robison is Astonishing. I was so lost in the story because he was reading information technology to me. I oasis't been able to say this about an audiobook nonetheless, simply I don't call back I would take enjoyed that book near every bit much if information technology wasn't in audio.
Ezekiel somehow manages to do voices for an effeminate human, a husky growly alpha, a low tenor and a host of side characters (including females), and I could always tell who was speaking! Everyone had private voices, which is SUCH talent to be able to pull off!! As well he didn't make me feel awkward during the sex scenes. All the moaning and muddy talk….it was HOT! I will definitely exist buying whatever audio's he does!
Ok, so the story is well-nigh Charlie. We meet Charlie when he's sixteen and has a massive crush on his new neighbor Scott. He and Scott fall in honey and date for ii years but when Scott has to move beyond the country, the long-distance relationship fails, Charlie has to move on. Enter Adan, who Charlie meets when he's 25. They date for eight months and then that ends very badly (Adan is a fleck of a prick, but I'll get to that later). Then when Charlie is 35, unexpected circumstances find him face up to confront with Scott and Adan happily living together, well you tin can probably judge what happens then.
I really enjoyed the manner this was written. How Charlie talked to united states, the reader, at the beginning of each chapter near the important moments in his life with Scott and Adan. Having Ezekiel read to me every bit Charlie in the first person fabricated me connect with Charlie all that much more.
Charlie was a very likeable character, as was Scott, and I approximate that makes it ok that Adan was a piffling fleck of a prick in the beginning. It would have been pretty boring if everyone was sweet and considerate. Pretty much Adan was aback of existence gay when we first see him, he wants to be as 'directly' as possible while liking men. He also resents being lobbed into the same 'grouping' as effeminate men for the same reason. So yous could see how he sort of hates Charlie for who he is at the offset. Doesn't stop him wanting to os him though. I felt similar Adan does brand upwardly for information technology when they meet over again years later. He is a very changed man when he comes dorsum into Charlie's life and is very very remorseful, which was good to meet.
The build-upward of Charlie and his relationships with both Scott and Adan was great, simply it made it feel more empty when we come across Scott and Adan together. I couldn't really go their connection and why they worked together.
The principal cistron in this existence a four centre book and nothing higher was that information technology wasn't really a threesome book. These iii didn't assemble until the stop of the volume, and I personally similar to encounter my polyamorous couples get together much sooner. I mean what is better than two hot guys making out? Three hot guys making out!
In that location were a lot of funny moments where I found myself giggling out loud and looking like an idiot, like when Scott and Adan went shopping for dinner, and Adan's drunken,"sriusly".. .ahhh…*wipes away tear*, you really had to be there.
If I could rate this on the narration alone it would be 5 hearts, easily!!! But although I do recommend this because I had a lot of fun with it, I have read improve threesome books that I'd recommend first.

Betwixt a heartwarming and pain, betwixt love and hurts.

But Charlie, the sweetest person on earth, the soft heart Charlie, in his ain way he loves Scott and Adan nevertheless.
And seeing them 'together, together' was a shock for him..get figure.
Simply from the first introduction we're already take a clue about the three of them, and so, I wasn't surprise. Information technology'south a flashback, so this story won't hurt and so much.
However, I cried over what happened with Charlie in the past.
Forever in happiness is what he deserves. And Scott and Adan owed it to Charlie.
I'yard glad this end well. And finally, makes me smile.

I like to see the douchebags grovel (as raved about in other reviews) Really grovel, and I love to see the MC being strong and not just rolling over, forgiving everything because the 'other' MC is hot or demanding or whatever (hide spoiler)]

Unfortunately, information technology didn't work out that way with this book. I've only read a handful of MMM romance novels, and this one, then far, has proven to be the most disappointing.Beginning of all, the unabridged book is flashback themed. That alone added a disconnecting quality to the storytelling. Secondly, Adan was ane of the biggest assholes and Charlie was as well quick to forgive him. It was ridiculous. Lastly, what's the signal of an MMM romance, if yous just get part of the relationship evolution? We're given, Charlie and Scott's story and Charlie and Adan's story but not Scott and Adan's story. Needless to say, I wasn't feeling the chemistry at all betwixt Scott and Adan. If anything, I establish them being a couple to exist incredibly unbelievable.
2 stars instead of one because parts of this book did accept me laughing out loud.

By far this has been my favorite Ezekiel Robison narration. He absolutely nailed this story. I have such a mad crush on Cardeno C, because I have loved every story that CC has written. And now listening to them via audio has upped my CC experiences.
Charlie "Chase" Rhodes stole my center. Every bit we become on the journey of Charlie/Chase'south love story its near incommunicable not to fall for him and wanting him to have his well deserved HEA. At outset he falls in love with Scott Boone. Who was his neighbour, best friend and first love. However, first loves don't e'er piece of work out so when Scott disappears from his life I was rooting for Charlie to detect love over again.
Thankfully a few years later he falls in love once more. This time with Adan
Navarro. Adan is the polar opposite to Scott merely he brings something out of Chase that Scott didn't. The more Chase falls for Adan the more Adan freaks because he'southward having a hard fourth dimension being his truthful self.
Subsequently Adan breaks Chase's centre I didn't know how it was all going to work out, only for Charlie/Chase life carries on. For him he has a career and responsibilities which causes him to move across the country to take care of his sisters kids. It also brings Scott and Adan back into his life. But non is all smooth sailing because Scott and Adan are at present a parcel deal and Chase has to navigate through this new complication.
I absolutely adored this story and loved it from beginning to end.

I teared up when he said he needed to feel that he mattered to someone and the times when Adan spoke hard words to Charlie. I was so happy to read about the journey of his life, though I wished I got all parts of him.
I don't like Adan. I wanted to strangle him when he saw Hunt just as a piece of meat he wanted to fuck. He wasn't fix to acknowledge that he's attracted to him more than one way. I thought Adan was finally accepting Chase but he didn't. He didn't leave with him considering of his gayness and dressing style. He's casually proverb that he has gotten his fill.

1.5- two starsBalmy spoilers....
Ughhh... I experience so bad about not liking this book! I've been a big fan of Cardeno's books. I've read a lot of them. But I just couldn't run across past certain things in this volume.
But, simply because I didn't care for this 1.... Doesn't mean I'll never read any of her books again.
Nope... I'g A lifetime fan! (I've read sixteen of her books already!!)
This book was only really hard for me to read. I loved the offset of the book. But it pretty much went down hill for me when Adan came into the picture.
Later that... Information technology was hard to fully savour the volume. Because... I just didn't want the primary characters to be together!
I'll just jump right into my review.
I loved loved loved Scott and Charlie'southward beginning! Omg.... Information technology was only everything. I had butterflies in my stomach, I felt all the excitement of their first's every things. I just loved it. I loved how they just came together.
The human relationship at the finish broke my heart. How it all ended between them. I felt like crying. I felt Charlie's hurting! First loves are always the hardest to get over.
I actually wasn't feeling Adan. I wasn't feeling how they met. And I wasn't feeling how Adan acted towards Hunt. The things he would say. "Case Rhodes was fruity and Flamey and Flamboyant". That wasn't even the worst of information technology!
And.... I probably wouldn't think anything almost it... Simply since I already couldn't stand him from the get-go. I simply felt like he thought he was improve than him & he only wanted him for one thing.
I mean... He was thinking of Chase as a play a joke on... Not a person! But someone he can have sexual practice with!
Ughhhh... No thank you!
I seriously wanted to skim his parts. Everything that came out of his mouth was just getting me angrier and angrier.
Then reading the next part of the story. Where Scott and Adan are together.
I'm sorry... I was not feeling information technology at all. I really hated information technology. I can sympathize Scott. They were young when they broke upwardly. They drifted apart.
Just Adan.... No. He had no redeeming quality to him at all. And the fact that they are together now...
Is just like a slap to the face up.
When Scott and Adan started to depict their relationship...
Omg... Information technology sounded similar they needed a bottom for their relationship. Information technology seemed Scott & Adan bottomed here and at that place. But, didn't actually savor it. They just did it when they wanted to be inside each other.
So right away I saw Charlie as their solution. Towards the end of the book... That's really what it felt like.
I wasn't buying how happy Charlie was to be with ii tops.
or perchance he was happy and it just bugged me....lol
Oh man....
I was not feeling it at all!
And right from the start.... Both Adan and Scott wanted to jump right into something with Charlie!
I mean... Information technology'southward been v years! And they merely saw each other that day & they desire Charlie back.
Adan'south apology didn't do annihilation for me. He had said and did too much to forgive.
I truly feel Charlie should have concluded up with someone else. And just be friends with Adan and Scott.
I truly wasn't feeling Scott or Adan for Charlie at all.
And so 67% in... I checked out.
When Scott and Adan bought the business firm... I was so annoyed. Why couldn't they take included Charlie in the whole process. Brand him feel like an equal in the relationship. It just felt like they accept the money... They brand the decisions.
To be honest.... I wish it was just Scott & Charlie getting back together. Adan brought nothing to the relationship in my book. He was rude, and obnoxious. And Scott should accept broken up with him once he institute out how he acted and treated Charlie when they were together.
I'k pitiful but this book was a miss for me.

The author plays up the stereotypes of the femme bottom being the more domestic i, cooking and cleaning while the masculine men that Charlie dates bring home the bacon.
I didn't intendance for his human relationship with Adan, more so because we know from the beginning it'southward purely sexual, and past this betoken we desire Charlie to find someone to be happy with. His beloved first young man Scott is long out of the picture, losing bear upon wit
I listened to this on audible, and the narrator took a while to get used as well.The author plays up the stereotypes of the femme bottom being the more domestic one, cooking and cleaning while the masculine men that Charlie dates bring home the salary.
I didn't intendance for his relationship with Adan, more and then because we know from the become-go it'due south purely sexual, and by this point we want Charlie to find someone to be happy with. His beloved first boyfriend Scott is long out of the motion picture, losing affect with him when going off to college.
And so when Adan promptly leaves Charlie and conveniently ends up with Scott years down the road, we're supposed to believe inside moments of the three reuniting that all hurt feelings are going to exist tossed bated and let the sex political party begin?
Charlie has had a major life change at this bespeak, put in charge of his niece and nephew when his sis passes, and suddenly Adan and Scott reappear and it'due south all supposed to be a large happy family unit? It felt like a huge stretch to me.

This was just a actually cute book most forgiveness and making upward for past regrets. I would
This is such a beautiful book. How two past human relationship becoming a three mode. Its told in past tense and shows how Charlie come across Scott and Adan their relationship and so the break upwards. Then 15 years later Charlie sees them both as a boyfriends. At present Scott and Adan have meet up with him and no the past human relationship both men decided to endeavour and get him back. However Charlie isn't having it without them working on it.This was but a really beautiful volume near forgiveness and making upward for past regrets. I would have loved more of Adan POV other than in the flashback. Other than this I recommended information technology if you lot don't heed chiliad/k/m

rating: 3.5 stars
Despite this being one of the nearly improbably books that I have every read, I still enjoyed it.
Charlie is fifteen, pretty sure he's gay, but the commencement fourth dimension he sees Scott, he knows. "I was gay. It wasn't a total shocker or anything. I'd asked my parents for an Easy-Bake Oven when I was 8." Having to walk down Charlie's memories of high school served to remind me why they were the most hated four years of my own life. Thanks, Cardeno! Charlie is pretty sure that every bit before long equally Scott starts school and makes friends he'll forget about his next door neighbor. Doesn't happen, even though Scott makes the varsity football squad. "I didn't miss a single game all season, but to this day, I have no thought how that game is played or what a down is - in a football context, anyway." It comes as a consummate and utter daze to Charlie when Scott admits he wants him the same way. And, wow, what a sweetness, sexy, and hot first kiss!
Scott amazed me. He's a good, honest, loyal guy who doesn't seem to know how hot he is, and he loved Charlie, no matter what. Scott didn't intendance what his friends thought, he never wanted Charlie to exist anything other than who he was. I don't know of any other college freshmen who would have a guy to a Halloween party when the guy is dressed every bit Cher in her famous Bob Mackie dress from the Oscars circa 1986. Remember that one? Yeah. When Scott's dad and stepmom have a very late in life baby girl, Scott transfers to UNLV to exist close, promising Charlie that when he graduates he'll exist dorsum. Equally is normal, though, life moves on and the frequency of phone calls begins to slow downwards. The letters cease and at some indicate they both come to the realization that all the promises they'd fabricated weren't going to come true. I don't remember either of them realized how much a cleaved heart could hurt.
Charlie keeps working and dancing, auditioning for lots of customs theater, starts going past Chase, and begins to have a life. Of course, he is depressed and emotionally fractured, but that makes for great dancing and art. And one night he walks into a bar and meets Adan who just finished his 2nd year of law school. Adan takes one look at the flamer and knows he'due south gay. These are the guys that make it hard for him, that make information technology difficult for his parents to understand how Adan, alpine, strong, muscular, could possibly be gay. "I hated being lumped in with those types of guys because I was cipher like them - I looked like a normal guy. The way I saw it, wanting to be with a man, meant wanting to be with a man, and I couldn't relate to somebody like that - someone frilly who flounced and sashayed and who might as well have had rainbows and glitter coming out of his ass. But, for some inexplicable reason, I couldn't take my optics off of him."
I've got to exist honest and admit I wasn't so sure that I liked Adan in the beginning. He came across as cocky-involved and narcissistic with a whole lot of ego and airs thrown in there. When Adan first meets Chase he is two years into his five yr plan, and everything he does is intended to accelerate his goals. Something about Hunt, though, causes Adan to feel things that aren't in his program, he doesn't know how to respond to tenderness or someone taking care of him, as his mother stopped when she realized he wouldn't be bringing a woman home. I started to feel something for Adan when I realized out of the iii men, he was truly the most vulnerable of them all. Adan had just been out to his family for 2 years, he was trying to be as macho as his dad and prove he could out-earn his straight cousins. Adan keeps everyone at arms length and then he never risks being hurt, although some of that was truly because he but didn't like other people. No matter what he told himself, deep down within, Adan is a skillful, kind, and compassionate man who has the capability to really dearest someone. Granted, it takes him a while to effigy all of this out. Because when Adan can't admit to someone he knows that he's with Chase in a human relationship, that'southward the finish for Chase. "I was twenty-eight going on eight and I blew it. Totally and completely blew it." And, trust me when I say he really, actually, actually blew it. He came to realize that and all the other things he'd been too stupid to understand at the time, simply by then, Chase was gone.
Fast forward a number of years and Charlie is in Vegas, legal guardian to his niece and nephew after his sister was killed by a drunk driver, a friend sets him upward with a babysitter and assures Charlie the kids know him. See where I'1000 going with this? Sure enough. Charlie opens the door to notice Scott and Adan, who are obviously in a relationship, and neither knows the other's history with Charlie. "I'd loved two men in my thirty-5 years on this planet. Just two. And I'd lost them both. Wouldn't it simply effigy that they'd institute in each other what they had both deemed missing in me?" Scott and Adan accept been together for five years. They share a home, a constabulary practise, and now information technology appears they both share the same guy they wish had never gotten away. Even though they are in honey, at that place take been some challenges. They are both tops and compromises have had to exist made. Working together and living together tin also cause besides much together sometimes. Luckily for Charlie, Scott and Adan are on the aforementioned page about wanting him in their life and not losing him again. Unluckily for Scott and Adan, Charlie doesn't believe much that comes out of their mouths. At to the lowest degree non in the showtime.
Wow. I'm in shock over how much I loved this story. I savage in love with Charlie, Scott, and Adan. There'south nothing I tin can say except it's one of the best books I've e'er read. Thanks, Cardeno, for putting these guys on paper and sharing them.
