Story
I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

Bonded by their parents before they were conceived, wolf shifters Abel and Kai adored each other since they were children.

After half a century of chaos, my retirement from leading the Community of Species Government has been bliss. No more hellhounds playing pranks. No more snippy demons demanding my attention. No more cajoling money from the wealthy to support the community. Just peace while I avoid my overbearing father and try to work out my next steps. Although...maybe three years of peace is enough. It might even be starting to get boring. In fact, an adolescent dragon crash-landing on my landlord's shed is just the kind of excitement I need - especially when he brings his species leader to my door.

Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

My whole life, I’ve been taught to despise shifters. So when I’m hired to track two escaped convicts, I’m suddenly thrust into the world I hate - or thought I did. Yet I’m inexplicably drawn to the alpha of the pack, whose land the convicts may be hiding on. He’s different than any shifter I've ever met - laidback and quick to laugh, caring, and protective. As secrets are revealed, I start to wonder if everything I’ve been raised to believe was a lie, though it may not matter, because it seems like someone wants us dead.

He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Publisher's Summary
“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'll gladly give up forever to touch you.
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 know 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 story is amazing. When Sal and Yoram were apart my heart was breaking for Yorry. You could feel his despair and hopelessness as if it were a tangible thing. 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?!?
I'm a big fan of Charlie David, I will listen to anything he narrates. He brought this story to life in such a great way. I was up until 3 am listening to this one, I just couldn't bear to hit pause.

Lovely Slow Burn Romance
Really lovely May/December romance with devotion and faith being the overlying theme. Super slow burn... like we know it's going to all work out, but Sal digs his hole soooo deep, it's painful.
Charlie David narrates this one, and he does a lovely job (as usual). Super sweet voices for Yori as he's growing up, and a nice variety of voices for this large cast. Very enjoyable performance.

Love Waits
Sal and Yoram don't have an easy love story. Yoram loves Sal with an intensity and faithfulness that shakes the cynical walks around Sal's heart. I wish there had been a bit more courting/coming around. Once Sal opens his eyes things progress very quickly. They still have a beautiful love story and their mating has the chance to bring prosperity to a floundering pack with tremendous potential.

Yoram and Sal
The fates have brought together these two in order to usher in a new era. Yori's pack is fractured and spiraling out of control and after decades of Sal ignoring and rejecting him he shows up. Together they work to bring peace and prosperity. Yori's strength, wisdom, and mostly his compassion impressed me. Sal just wants to support his mate, fix any problems, and spend the rest of their days making him happy. Yoram and Sal's story brings us full circle. All our previous guys have found their true mates and where they belong. I loved that Ethan and Miguel finally get to come home.

Yoram and Salvatore.
I loved this last book in the series, too! Shifter and vampire couple again, but this time the (recently turned) vampire, really does have a hard time realizing he has a mate.
Granted, there were times I would have wanted to smack Salvatore in the face for how much he was making Yoram suffer, but in the end he comes to his senses and is an amazing mate, so...

Love this series!
Cardeno C’s Mates series is probably my favorite “shifter” series of all time. I have read and listened to it over and over and over – probably one of them each month.
In this world, shifters find their true mates, but they are often bewildered because the “rules” usually don’t account for whom fate has chosen for them. In this case, Yoram – whom we’ve met in the earlier three books, is only 7 we he meets his “friend” Salvatore.
I don’t want to give away the story – but I was immensely surprised by what ends up happening in this story! I could not have predicted it – at all! It’s definitely not traditional in any sense of the word and I was frankly so psyched to see how it all played out.
Because I’m such a fan girl – I loved seeing Miguel and Ethan so much throughout this story. They are sooooo adorable together and I cannot wait for the audio version so I can hear the sultry Miguel speak to us again!
We also get to see a little of Korban and Samuel as well as Zev and Jonah – so that was a nice little reunion bonus!
To me, this was reminiscent of book one in the series – our MCs met young and have to “grow up” before they can be together and that wait – many, many, many long years of wait is hard. It’s probably hardest on Yoram and that hurt my heart a bit.
If I have any complaints it’s that I never quite warmed up to Salvatore as much as I wanted to. He’s definitely a self-centered jerk at the beginning and for most of the story. Though he absolutely does redeem himself at the end and he and Yoram do finally get their lovely HEA together – I wish they’d had more time in each other’s proximity so we could see them as a couple longer.
(spoiler: When Yoram is delivering his blood for nine years I really wanted to puch Sal in the gut!)
This was a fantastic addition to the series – and can be read as a standalone- but I don’t recommend it. Reading this series in order will let you appreciate all the secondary characters and what it means when they act as they do.
If you’re new to the series, I’d start with book one or two before this – just to get the background.
Highly recommended and beloved!
4.5 of 5 stars
Audio
Charlie David has done all the others in this series, so when we have recurring characters like Miguel (swoon!) it’s all done in the way we expect! I love listening to Charlie’s narrations because he’s so good with emotions, his voice quality is so smooth and he’s great with the accents in this series too.
Highly Recommended!

We're headed back to Yafenack
When staunch oldworld traditions come head to head with the reality of ever evolving reality, there's bound to be those that refuse to conform and challenge change.
Yoram Smith met his true mate at the tender age of 8 years old. Of course he had no idea that was what he was feeling. All he knew was the man smelled amazing, he felt a pull to him and he would do anything to keep that man alive. As the boy becomes a man, his true mate, the one who's life he saved, continues to rebuff him. But Yoram refuses to give up on the man destined to be his love.
Salvatori Rossi didn't have the best upbringing. As soon as he was old enough, he got as far away from his family as possible and starting a lucrative business that still strives to this day. The problem is, he's yet to find anyone he wants to share his success with. When a boy begs his uncle to save Sal's life, everything he thinks he knows, he starts to question. And when that boy becomes a man and desperately needs Sal's help, surprisingly, Sal gives it.
This is one of the most well written and diversely characterized Shifter series you can read, in my humble opinion. With each new installment, more of the Shifter world reveals itself. The people, the laws and the stubborn, unyielding beliefs some of them refuse to let go of. I love the way CC weaves the different stories together. This book and the storyline ties directly into the other three books and perhaps gives details and information you were wanting from those books. But mostly, it's a love story about two men, both stubborn as hell, but also loyal to a fault.
Narrated by Charlie David, need I say more. I absolutely love this mans voice. The different tones and nuances he possess and how he brings the story to life for the reader/listener. Definitely a must read series and I would stress starting with book 1 if you haven't already had the pleasure.

as good as the ebook
The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.
The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.
PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!
To my ratings:
5* - very very good

a fitting end!
I purchased both the ebook, AND audio copy of this book (November 2017)
This is book 4 in The Mates Series, and the last one. You don't need to have read the other three, but there is some overlap with books one, Wake Me Up Inside and book 3, In Your Eyes, so there may be spoilers, sorta, kinda.
Yoram Smith is 7 years old when he first meets Salvatore Rossi, and he knows nothing but the pull of his scent. Sal is, in Yoram's eyes, his friend. It takes a turning of Sal to vampire and over 20 years before Sal finally admits that Yoram is his mate.
I LOVED this final installment in the Mates series! I really did. But I can't split the narration from the book, so the lines might be a bit blurred on this one.
I read this book, in December 2017, and I was going through a rough patch, so didn't actually write a review for it, then the audio came through the blog for review, and I had credits available, so I grabbed it. SO glad I did!
I loved Charlie David's narration, his voices especially. Yoram is 7 when we first meet him, and I was curious how David would change his voice as he grew. Nailed that one, I tell ya! At7, at 14 and as a full groan Yoram, his voice is the same but different, if that makes any sense? I could tell it was Yoram at every step of the way.
And trust me, it's a very long way these two took to finally get together! Sal doesn't fully understand the workings of being a vampire, he finds no joy in feeding and certainly not socialising with them, but he HAS to feed. Until the blood turns up on his doorstep, and THAT blood is different. Takes him a while to figure out where it's coming from!
I loved that Zev and Jonah ( book 1) and Samuel and Korban (book 3) play a part here, but I especially loved that Ethan and Miguel are a HUGE part of this book. When I read this, I could hear the voices of these guys but they weren't right, not at all. So it was great to be able to catch up with them here.
I loved that, once Sal finally dug his head out the sand and returned to Yoram, he was all in, totally and utterly.
Like I said, I can't really split the narration from the book, so
5 stars all round!
