About this listen

When love's on the line, the brave jump in with both feet....

Small town cop Clint Rivera can't catch a break. His ex of two weeks is suddenly getting married, his dogs tore up his furniture, he's getting evicted, and he's out of beer. When he decides to solve his alcohol shortage by going to his ex's engagement party, Clint winds up too drunk to drive himself home.

Enter gorgeous deputy mayor Hawk Black, the man who constantly shows up unexpectedly and sends Clint's body and mind into a tailspin with nothing but his whiskey voice and blue eyes. After months of patience, Hawk can finally seduce the man he's been craving.

Clint's day might not have started out well, but Hawk's going to make sure it ends with a bang, preferably in bed. He'll show Clint some rewards are worth the risk. With love on the line, Clint will need to decide if he can open his heart, tear down his shields, and jump in with both feet.

Great commuter listen

It's nice and short but packed with story. Though I really wish we had more of these 2. Robinson does great with the narration.

Clint and Hawk

A terrific short story. Clint's got Murphy's law hot on his heels. Each of the punches he receives made me cringe. His appearance at the engagement party wasn't quite as disastrous as I expected though. Hawk's revelations about his pursuit of Clint just proved how much better he was than Clint's ex. I liked Hawk's brash assumptions; he already sees their perfect future together and doesn't mind telling Clint.

Audiobook: enjoyable narration

This romance kept me curious

I kept wondering why the sheriff showed such interest from the beginning until it was explained toward the end. A love at (sort of) first sight short story. Of course, this being a Cardeno C story, the romance feature was strong. Mr Robison did an amazing job here.

Adorable! Great Job by E. Robison

Absolutely adorable insta-love as only CC can do it! I really enjoyed the fast pace of this short story, and the narrator, Ezekiel Robison, does a marvelous job as well.

Short, sweet, sexy, passionate and funny

Any additional comments?

I love Ezekiel Robison. I love his character voices (with extra kudos on bringing Hawk's "whiskey smooth and gravel rough" voice to life) and his easy way of narrating so the story just flows seemingly effortlessly into your ears. Ezekiel absolutely brings out the passion, humor, and romance in this.

This is a short (super quick), fun, sexy, humorous novella with what seems like insta-love to the nth degree...but it's a hell of a lot deeper than that.

“Seems like your people reading skills just short out when it comes to me.” Hawk tipped Clint’s face up. “Why is that?”
“You know why,” Clint said, seeing no point in playing games. He was at Hawk’s house for one reason and they both knew what it was.
“You want me.” Hawk leaned down and brushed his lips across Clint’s jaw. “Not the same way I want you, but it’s a start.”
At twenty-eight years old, Clint wasn’t a stranger to the concept of going home with a man to screw. Hawk Black probably had close to ten years on him, so he had to know the score too. Which meant he had to understand that the things he was saying, the intensity with which he was looking at Clint, and the tenderness in his touch weren’t standard fare for a hook-up.

Told from Clint Rivera's POV, the story takes place over a weekend that starts off monumentally bad, but ends up happily ever after.

I loved it.

At just under two hours listening time, this audiobook is a perfect story for a long commute, running errands, or needing a sweet break from it all.

Sexy and funny! Nice little treat.

Any additional comments?

Nice break from heavy stuff.
Savory and sweet. Such a great short story. It had me craving more right from the start.
I loved Clint & Hawk. I found them to be interesting, intense and oh so yummy. CC was able to give us quite a bit about them in a short amount of time.
Sometimes you just need a good, short, insta-love story !!!

A great short

Sometimes I like something short that doesn't take me days of time snatched between other obligations to listen to. This fit the bill nicely. I'd read it before, but listening adds a new layer to it. The narration was great.

I’d forgotten how insta-love and possessive of a main character this has. I kept thinking it was Mary Calmes (not a criticism- I love Mary’s books!). It’s short but fun and sexy, and one I definitely recommend for a quickie.
