Frog

I loved this book when I read it and K.C. Kelly really brought it too life. This is the story of a ongoing romance between a wandering, bull riding cowboy with no family and no home, but a heart of gold, and a San Francisco neurosurgeon that loves him unconditionally. The story is told from Weber's (cowboy) POV and is basically about his journey of self discovery. Not him struggling with being gay, but failing to see his own self worth. It is really beautiful and the narrator does an excellent job. Definitely worth a credit.

I have a Calmes addiction, but the narration was almost intolerable.

I love the opening chapter, with the MCs making contact with each other after a long separation, and some background information interwoven into that conversation.

The narrator's accent and interpretation of Weber was way over the top. It made the character seem older and dumber than he actually is.

Not a thing, it's one of my favorite books.

After waiting so long for this to come out on audio, I'm really disappointed. I managed to listen to it all the way through, but I expect I won't ever listen to it again.

It really deserves that extra ½♥. Really mello but still touching and hot m/m romance. Pride can be such a tricky bitch, keeping those lovers apart. It was an easy read over an afternoon, and really sweet.

The narrator has a lovely Southern drawl that was very appealing and easy on the ears. I thought he was a wonderful choice for Webber. Being from the South, I must say it worked well for me; I found it believable and more than comfortable to listen to. Like a tall glass of sweet iced tea on a hot day- only for my ears. OK, that's kind of a strange analogy, isn't it?

The only thing I wanted a little more of, and this may seem odd... but adversity. I suppose it's part of Webber's draw is that he can charm the pants of anyone... well, sort of, but there was a shit ton of acceptance going on. I hope that the world is filled with such loving, open-minded people out there, but deep down I found that hard to really believe that. But then again- this is fiction, suspension of disbelief and all that. It flirted with almost being 'too much' acceptance, but never quite crossed that line (it toed it, though).

This will most definitely be a re-read, it was just too easy to suck it down in a single afternoon.

I have this as a repeat listen. A story to return to like comfort food.

The voice actor was great!

Yes, I have read this story too many times to count! Now, the audio is available and as good as the story. Perfect narrator for the characters.

I love Weber!

His voice is perfect for the retired Weber. He did a great job!

Always Weber and the kids!

You will not be disappointed!

I cried, geld my breath, smiled, laughed, got mad.... this book blew my mind. I live everything about it....everything! K.C. was ah-mazing. I want to listen to it again!!

Incredibly heartwarming story. The story and the performance make beautiful poetry in this audio book. Frog is now one of my favorites and I cant wait to listen to it again. There are beautiful scenes that made me want to cry and laugh at the same time. The emotional parts are beautifully balanced with humor and wit. The story is carried in what is not written as well as what is written (the story between and beyond the lines). Incredibly well written matched by an incredible performance. Mr. Kelly's performance was perfect for this story.

Up there with the audible books I keep returning too because it make me smile and laugh with the characters of the story.

When Webber finally realize his love and worth to not only Cyrus but to Cyrus' family but most of all to his self and definitely the musical.

I like K. C. Kelly's performance because you could tell each character in the story without all the fake voices some performers do.

I can't say one because I love several characters in this story from the 2 main characters to the kids, to the sister etc

I have yet to listen to a story by Mary Calmes that I didn't like GOOD JOB

it was very good. good enough that I immediately went searching for more audiobooks by Mary Calmes. I'm looking forward to hearing more of her sexy stories. I laughed and cried and loved these characters.

after the performance when Cyrus was feeling insecure...that was my favorite part. I loved how Weber reprioritized him to meet his needs. So sweet.

He did a good job. He was a little old for the role. I'd guess he's in his 60s and the characters are in their 40s...so that could have been cast better. But he did a good job. ;-)

Weber. Lots of interesting stories to tell...

I usually never consider the audio better - just a WONDERFUL Compliment to the written word. Some who have not tried audible say - I'd rather read it and if I read it, why Audible? Because, especially with a good narrator you will find several nuances that come out in the performance that come out or compliment what the author has written! I can;'t recommend it enough - and, if I've read the book and loved it - I watch for the audible to come out (As I have with Red Dirt Hearts Series - and I buy every one the moment it comes out - Gotta own it! To me all of these authors who care and it shows in their writing and write "Real" dialogue - it's just the best sweetest experience and you fall in love with their characters - and the right narrator - it's just the icing on the cake!

I have read most of Ms. Calmes books and have loved most of them. This is one I won't forget any time soon. I loved Cy and Web and, I would compare it somewhat to Red Dirt Hearts, although much shorter - it has that "this person deserves to be happy PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN" quality that Red Dirts Heart series has by NR Walker (this series is in my personal hall of fame). Mary's book Frog enters that arena because it just touches me from beginning to end.

I would say it was Web - he turned me inside and out - but followed by Cy - because the bigger and tougher they are, the harder they fall - and I love that he ALLOWED himself to fall and fall hard when the right guy came along instead of clinging to his arrogance and pride.

One of many - Cy coming back from an event he and Web decided he needed to go stag to - a society event. And Cy came home as soon as he could and his lip trembled as he came in - though he was smiling he was afraid that Web would "disappear" as he had so many times before.

I love the background, the real feeling of these characters, I love that everyone is grown up to realize what is going on and speak it out. Maybe not happening as often as we would like but I love that everyone, everyone in Cyrus' life said hey, unapproachable neurosurgeon or not here is how it is... Mary - Keep it up - You have all the wonderful feels and the wonderful HEA's I need. This one needed more Epilogue, sorry, I'm so greedy. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE AUDIBLE - keep it coming!!!
