Sometimes to find love, you must first learn forgiveness.
A dozen years, 2,000 miles, and a law degree after high school, Rafi Steiner continues to harbor resentment toward Isaac Jones, his childhood bully turned NBA star. When Isaac appears at Rafi's favorite restaurant acting like a long-lost friend, Rafi bluntly dismisses him.
But Isaac is tenacious and he has his heart set on the grown-up version of the boy he always wanted and never forgot. The way Isaac sees it, he and Rafi are perfect for each other, if only he could sink the most important shot of his life his one shot at forgiveness.
A Shot at Forgiveness (Audible Audio Edition) Cardeno C Robert M Clark LLC The Romance Authors Books
A Shot at Forgiveness is one of those stories where I'm not quite sure how to rate it after reading. It is a pretty quick read, and would fall under the enemies-to-lovers category, though I don't know that Isaac would see it that way (he'd probably think it's a second chance story...although, well...no).What this story does have in spades is sarcastic humor, plus one bound and determined NBA star-at least he is now that he's going after what-or who-he wants. And while the way the story is written might have you wondering just how stalker-like Isaac would need to be for Rafi to run screaming in the other direction, Isaac's demeanor-especially as interpreted through the audiobook narration-and sweet attitude actually balanced things out for me. But I still didn't quite feel a connection between the two characters, which made the story 3 stars for me.
As for the audiobook narration, I really liked Robert C. Clark's interpretation, it actually made Isaac's pursuit of Rafi more palatable than reading it in the e-book. The sarcasm and Rafi's frustration are quite clear in the audio, and the character voices are well done and consistent, making the narration 4 stars for me.

A Shot at Forgiveness (Audible Audio Edition) Cardeno C Robert M Clark LLC The Romance Authors Books Reviews
I enjoyed this book very much. It is about two people who had attended the same grammar school and high school, but experienced their school days very differently. Rafi still looks back on Isaac as the bully who made his high school years miserable; Isaac looks at Rafi as the beautiful boy he could never get off his mind. We see that Isaac's "bullying" was more along the line of a little boy who pulls his classmate's pigtails, because he really likes her, but doesn't know how to show it. It was fun to see how persistent Isaac continued to be in spite of Rafi's continual cold shoulder.
Rafi's adult personality was impressive confident and sure of himself and not about to take any stuff from anybody, esp an old high school bully!! But, sadly, I finished this book really wishing the author had given us more dialogue, more back and forth between Rafi and Isaac. Instead, the story ended just before they were to attend an important business meeting together; a meeting that would have an important effect on both their futures.
I love a lot of Cardeno C's works and really loved some of them, but have to admit that I've yet to find a short story of hers that I like.
As a lot of others have commented, this is too rushed, with too much back story to make it convincing going forward without a lot more words. It was all too fast and crazy. But I have another problem with it.
Spoilers Ahead
In the sex scenes I found the narrator, Rafi, to be oddly passive, accepting but not initiating, in a way that felt like the bad old classic Mills and Boone. I didn't like any aspect of this relationship. It was hot, Cardeno know hot to write a hot scene, but it wasn't engaging. I really feel that the short novellas are not her forte (and I know, Cardeno has not accepted a gender, but this in no way felt like it was written by a gay man, it felt totally like it was written by a woman, and that was my main problem with it)
I will buy the longer books, but I'm starting to think I will give the shorter ones a miss unless the reviews really rave.
I enjoyed this sweet M/M romance. We have Isaac, NBA star and a bully when he was young. Rafi is now a Lawyer and still remembers the abuse he took from being bullied in school. Isaac is back in town, looking for Rafi, to apologize and explain himself. This is a fairy tale type story, all happy and sweet, with forgiveness, acceptance, and blossoming love. In real life it would be harder to forgive a bully who tormented you, but the author explains both guys feelings, examines their thoughts, and forgiveness is a given. The characters are lovable, and it's an interesting short romance with super hot sexiness. Huge differences in the guys, with a huge black basketball player and more feminine Rafi, but it works well.
I like Cardeno C. and these amazing short sweet romances. It's her characters that keep me coming back for more. ENJOY !!!.
It's classic Cardeno insta-love but Cardeno does it right and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I've re-read this multiple times. There is something about this that keeps pulling me in.
In this story you have Rafi, who is now a successful attorney in Emile City who grew up with Isaac who is now a famous NBA star. But what Rafi remembers about Isaac is how he bullied and tormented him through their high school years.
But Isaac remembers it differently. Not that Rafi was all wrong...just his memory is a little skewed.
So now a dozen years later Isaac has stopped running from the one thing he needs to have a life and finds Rafi so he can have his shot at forgiveness and finally get the man he'd always loved and wanted.
It's a sweet story that still has a few niggles here and there, but I'm giving it 4 stars, because anything that brings me back again and again deserves at least that.
A Shot at Forgiveness was a sexy quick read orchestrated by the careful hand of Cardeno C. told through the narration of Robert M. Clark. Rafi and Isaac have known each other since high school and many years have passed since they'd seen each other. Some 12 years later and each man secure in his career, Rafi strolled into Isaac’s life and into his heart.
I enjoyed so many things about Cardeno C's book~ the emotional connection between the two main characters, the connection between reader and MC, the love between Rafi and Isaac~ all facets I look for in a book.
Isaac’s inner monologue made me smile and chuckle and hearing it come to life by Mr. Clark’s voice made it all the more appealing.
The dynamics between the two men was palpable and endearing. Rafi’s nonchalant attitude and Isaac’s petulance~ love it.
Another sure-fire winner. Cardeno C. you make me swoon.
