Frog by Mary Calmes
5.0
Weber is an out-of-work bull rider, stopping to see his on-again, off-again lover Cy, who is a well respected neurosurgeon. From the moment of their first conversation in the book, where Cy is so happy, so desperate to see Weber again, I was hooked. Weber doesn't know or understand how Cy could and does want him forever in his life. He just sees himself as a "frog" instead of a "prince." Through his interaction with Cy's sister and nephews, you immediately see why Cy wants and needs him so much.
I'd have to say that Weber Yates is one of my favorite characters ever. His gentle spirit shines through, which is the reason that children, animals, other adults and especially Cy just love him right away. The way he treats the nephews with simple love and caring, respecting each of them for who they are, made me love him even more. It's like there is a gentle golden light that good and decent people can see around him. Even Cy's co-workers can see it from the effect he has on Cy.
This book is one of my favorite favorites that I will be going back to again and again when I just want a feel-good book.
ETA (5-5-18): I picked up this book again, looking to reread a couple of my favorite parts, only to discover that I hadn't highlighted them on my NOOK. So what was I supposed to do but reread the whole book so that I could rectify that. I will always love reconnecting with these characters. Web's initial innocent obliviousness to his goodness and the effect he has on people will never get old to me.
