Luc is an indoors kind of guy. He works at his uncle's firm as a cartographer, and is expected to take over the company when his uncle retires someday. Rick is a surveyor at the same company, and Luc is completely crushing on Rick. Rick is the outdoorsy mountain man, and it seems like there is little these two have in common. After having to spend some time together, there are some bumps in the road (and on the outdoors trails-lol), but they find that they really like each other's company. Luc is nervous about PDA and trying to remain professional at work, Rick wants to stake a claim on Luc. It takes a little navigation around expectations, desires, and happiness, but eventually these two find their way to an HEA.

I loved the klutziness of Luc, and the gentleness of Rick. He was a complete teddy bear. They were a great pair with lots of chemistry. There were some times when their communication was a bit off, and sometimes Luc's nervous attitude was a bit much, but Rick was an amazing complement.
There also seems like there could be the potential for a book 2 with Adam and Jack. :-)

I really enjoyed this. I say that with surprise because I've never read this author before and didn't know what to expect. Amending Plans was cute and light, which is exactly what I needed after reading a difficult book. I liked both Luc and Rick and thought they were good together.

I don't know anything about cartography and surveying and would have liked the author to explore that aspect of their jobs and lives a bit more. I also feel like Luc and Rick never really got to know each other. Every encounter, and every time one was thinking about the author, was riddled with tingling or vibrating balls, hard cocks, and lustful thoughts. I didn't need to be told that as often as I was, and it got repetitive. I kept wanting to tell these guys that there's more to a relationship than sex.

The conflict was a bit over the top, and I feel like it wouldn't have happened had these guys actually gotten to know each other. And (I don't know why this bugged me so much) I couldn't tell what time of year it was. Luc was shivering in a leather jacket one moment, and in the next scene he's in shorts. I just couldn't get a good grasp of the setting.

That being said, this was a quick, fun read, fairly predictable, but with good writing. It was funny and not too angsty, and I enjoyed Luc and Rick when they were being themselves and not bemoaning their class differences and lack of commonalities. I look forward to picking up more by this author.
