Meet Patrick Cleary: party boy, loser, and spaz. Patrick's been trying desperately to transform himself, and the results have been so spectacular, they've almost killed him. Meet Wes "Whiskey" Keenan: he's a field biologist wondering if it's time to settle down. When the worst day of Patrick's life ends with Whiskey saving it, Patrick and Whiskey find themselves sharing company and an impossibly small berth on the world's tackiest houseboat. Patrick needs to get his life togetherâand Whiskey wants to helpâbut Patrick is not entirely convinced it's doable. He's pretty sure he's a freak of nature. But Whiskey, who works with real freaks of nature, thinks all Patrick needs is a little help to see the absolute beauty inside his spastic self, and Whiskey is all about volunteering. Between anomalous frogs, a homicidal ex-boyfriend, and Patrick's own hangups, Whiskey's going to need all of his patience and Patrick's going to need to find the best of himself before these two men ever see clear water.… (més)

One of those “It’s not you; it’s me.” books. It was good. There was good chemistry between the characters. Fly Bait was a hoot. It just failed to grip me. She nailed the ‘no angst’ angle so I’m tempted to try a different Amy Lane book. ( )

Absolutely beautiful story. Fly Bait was awesome. Even Shawn became likable. Kiss a frog. A must read! ( )

Really this should be ten stars. Five for all the usual stuff, kick-ass characters, hilariously kind portrayal of an ADD guy who sometimes misses his LBP, great plot, terrific ending. Still smiling. The dialog kept cracking me up, they are all just perfect. But five more stars, just for being so damn much fun. Stayed up late to finish it because of that. No regrets. ( )

I fell in love with Patrick from the start. He seems selfish but is too naïve to project that to anyone including to the man who rescues him from sure death, Wes "Whiskey" Keenan. As for Whiskey, I found that I, in equal measures, felt both frustrated and sorry for him. He is a man who is sweet, smart, and capable of love but fights every fiber in his being to prevent it from happening. You realize that he's not a total unsocial idiot so something terrible must have occurred in his life. Then we watch these two superlatively drawn characters inch toward each other during a summer on a houseboat on the steamy Sacramento River where Whiskey is engaged in an environmental project and where Patrick has become his ward. If we expect heat between them from the start...it isn't going to happen. These two guys...in spite of their mutual attraction, are separated in age by eight years, have a host of interferences to deal with that include Whiskey's research partner...and former girlfriend, a stalking criminal ex-boyfriend and Patrick's obnoxiously cold father. In spite of all that, this can be summed up as a lovely, tender and funny love story. ( )

Most people see Patrick Cleary and focus on the fact that he must live a privileged life. He has a rich father who can provide everything Patrick needs so Patrick doesn't need to do too much for himself. But the truth is that he wants to. And he knows he can if someone can believe in him and he can find a way to believe in himself. Especially if that someone is not his boyfriend who has just left him for dead--until biologist Wes Keenan finds Patrick, saving him from danger, and offering him a space to sort things out and get himself together. But can Patrick be more than the screw-up his father and friends think he is? And what of this guy who has randomly shown up in his life doing more for him in one night than anyone else has his whole life?

This is an interesting, witty, and engaging read. Though one really should expect that from Amy Lane. The relationship dynamics here are really interesting and the layers that make up the plot are unexpected in a number of ways, too. I really enjoyed this. It's sweet, hopeful, and just enough angst to give it some color. ( )
