What a lovely book. I loved these guys, their story, their family, the kids, on and on. Everything was sweet and natural. And super sexy. You can feel the heat and longing between CY and Web, and the love that's behind it. There wasn't that much conflict in this book, as other reviews have said. It could have used a scene where Web tries to leave and Cy goes after him or something. But I guess its also nice when things just go well and people are happy, and realize they love each other without all the drama.
My biggest complaint about this book? It was too short. I could have kept reading about this couple indefinitely!

re-read 16/10/2018 - still loved it as much as the first time. ♥ Weber
What a delightful book. Pure honest and straight to the point. Beautifully written. Well developed characters. This will be a re-read for sure. It was not about the destination so much as it was about the journey. The world needs more men like Weber. ♥

TLDR: Wonderful character development for a novella, part of the ending was a bit much.

3.5 stars. It was rather anti-climactic, and I only bumped it up the .5 because I absolutely LOVED Micah, and his concert at the end with the xylophone and the parents reactions to the kids all playing instruments very badly. Too funny!

Home is Where Your Heart Is
Does Mary Calmes have a bad book? If so, this isn't it. Frog literally made me so ecstatically happy I went from wanting to cry to laughing within 0-to-60. Web reminds me a lot of a character Matthew McConaughey would play: all tanned, eyes creased from smiling, Southern charm, and the ability to make everything seem natural. He's so easy to fall in love with I'm not remotely bothered everyone took to him immediately.
Some people have that magnetism about them. They just do. Web has that ability.
Cy was this enigma to me at first until his family, his coworkers, and all his friends came to Web to explain he was different because of being with the man he loved. Loneliness changes a person. Isolation can be self-imposed; I loved seeing Cy waking up to the world again as he realized Web was going to choose him, choose them, stay. He should have been the Prince Charming of the story since he's basically Doctor McDreamy with his fancy house, fancy car, and fancy neurosurgeon job, but Web was what grounded him, made him happy, made him whole.
I would tell anyone to read this book if they were looking for some genuine happiness/joy out of a read with real men who give each other real crap about living too much in their own heads. I felt as if I'd come home by the time I finished reading Web and Cy building theirs together.
