About this listen

Weber Yates's dreams of stardom are about to be reduced to a ranch hand’s job in Texas, and his one relationship is with a guy so far out of his league he might as well be on the moon. Or at least in San Francisco, where Weber stops to see him one last time before settling down to the humble, lonely life he figures a frog like him has coming.

Cyrus Benning is a successful neurosurgeon, so details are never lost on him. He spotted the prince in a broken-down bull rider's clothing from day one. But watching Weber walk out on him keeps getting harder, and he’s not sure how much more his heart can take. Now Cyrus has one last chance to prove to Weber that it's not Weber's job that makes him Cyrus's perfect man, it's Weber himself. With the help of his sister's newly broken family, he’s ready to show Weber that the home the man’s been searching for has always been right there, with him. Cyrus might have laid down an ultimatum once, but now it's turned into a vow - he's never going to let Weber out of his life again.

This is a lovely story, but I have to admit that the way everybody around Cyrus, and I mean everybody, falls for Web immediately and thinks he’s the best person in the world, began to grate a bit after a while. It’s all a bit too wonderful (and I do like fluff and sweetness). Still, it is a nice feel-good story. It is heavy on the family/kids stuff, which is probably great if you’re into that. It’s not so much my priority. The sex scene right at the beginning is a bit rough, but that's not what the rest of the book is about.

I like Web as a character very much, with his old-fashioned polite manners, and Cyrus is ok too. The other family members make a nice background to the story, which is in essence mostly about Weber and how he feels about himself, his self-worth and the way he thinks Cyrus looks at him. We hear the story from Weber’s POV (first person narrative).

The narrator totally makes it for me. He speaks very calmly, which I like. The accent and voice he uses for Web are sexy and, well, sweet. In general I prefer British voices, but I have come to appreciate American narrators more since subscribing to Audible. And K.C. Kelly’s deep ‘cowboy voice’ (is it a Texan accent? Southern at any rate) is great to listen to- in fact the fragment persuaded me to buy this audiobook. He doesn’t really do a lot of very distinctive voices in the story like some narrators do, but I don’t mind that.
I have purchased a few more books he narrates and am looking forward to them.

Nice fluffy story about family, bit sugary

Frog was my first time with K.C. Kelly narrating and darn he has an amazing voice for cowboys. Really good performance, with a variety of voices and feeling. Frog was my favorite story of Mary's but listening to it for the n-th time I realised, especially since I'm re-listening to all of Mary's catalogue, that similarities emerge between it and a couple of books before it and lots of them after. For example the huge mix dog that is a sweetie unless you come upon their person fast (see Floodgates and Marshals), MC that everyone loves but is humble (see every MC of Mary's ever) and around here is where Mary's very very detailed oriented descriptions of clothing began. Frog truly is an amazing story of second chance, coming home and surrendering, but it's being drown by all the above, taking the story from believable to eye twitching. It deserves to be read and listened to, just maybe focus on the important parts.

This is one of my favourite books by Mary do I decided to give audio books another try. KC's voice was perfect for Webb and I stayed awake almost putting at the heart he put into this story. I can't get over how well he read this - awesome!

The perfect voice!
