I just read and loved a book which had a character who was a gay cowboy version of Mary Poppins and featured a fluttering, quivering, and pink puckered hole(s).



I think this is Mary Calmes' face every time she snares someone with her weird voodoo shit.

Other than an infuriating inability to see his own worth, Weber Yates is perfect. He's very sexy, honest, caring, intuitive, self-reliant, competent, affectionate in public, kind to women and children, and adored by almost every human and animal who comes in contact with him. Oh, and he's a tall cowboy and he cooks. Perfect. By all rights, I should hate him. But the author's skill is such that I actually adore him just like everyone else in this book. This is a sweet story about Web slowly allowing himself to believe that he truly matters to the man he loves, and that he is good enough to be worth keeping, and that his lover is not better off in the times when Web leaves him. A wonderful choice for reading after something dark and harsh.

After finishing reading it i asked myself "what was the point of it?" and couldn’t muster anything . Not that I did not care for them, actually I was invested into their story too much that their sudden abrupt change of mind felt shallow and boring. It's like angst level 100 to "joke on me!" situation.

Ik miscommunication can lead to serious issue, show that properly, no! Too much content in too limited space, It's messy, overcooked.

4.5 stars. Aw shucks. Wasn't expecting what came out of this book (which, I have to admit was some serious happy tears). I also have to admit, though, that I picked up this book and instantly judged it by its cover (which didn't include reading the description on the back). I loved it and I'm glad I didn't read the back quite frankly. This is definitely going on my favorites list.

I've actually got a signed copy of the Manga version and it's bloody brilliant.

The story is beautiful. The characters, flawed and human and perfect. The story telling not so good. i wish i could give this book 5 stars but the writing was lacking for me.

2nd re-listen. I'm actually dropping my rating to 3.5 stars, but I have to round up instead of down, since K.C. Kelly's narration is full 4.5 stars.

Frog was my first time with K.C. Kelly narrating and darn he has an amazing voice for cowboys. Really good performance, with a variety of voices and feeling.

Frog was my favorite story of Mary's, and although in the beginning of the review it says 2nd truth is closer to 5th, anyway, and listening to it for the n-th time I realised, especially since I'm re-listening to all of Mary's back catalogue, that similarities emerge between it and her stories after.

For example the huge mix dog that is a sweetie unless you come upon their person fast (see Floodgates and Marshals), MC that everyone loves but is humble (see every MC of Mary's ever) and around this release is where Mary's very, Very, VERY detailed oriented descriptions of clothing and things began.

Frog truly is an amazing story of second chance, coming home and surrendering, but it's being drown by all the above, taking the story from believable to eye twitching. It deserves to be read and listened to, just maybe focus on the important parts.
