|  |            The day after Colin MacNeill admits to his wife of nine years that he might be gay, he wakes up to find himself alone with his five-year-old autistic son, Kerrigan. It wasn't supposed to work out this way. He and his wife were best friends and his sexuality shouldn't matter. They should still be able to live under the same roof and raise their son together, right? What would be the harm if they both took secret lovers? His day doesn't get any better when he has to take his son with him to the office and his boss suggests he take some time off...because obviously he has a lot to deal with, and bringing his son to the office isn't going to work out. His boss also takes the liberty of suggesting a summer camp for disabled children, and although Colin finds the idea of abandoning his child to the care of others abhorrent, he feels he doesn't have a choice. As a top-notch corporate attorney, he can't be expected to leave his clients hanging. Especially when the biggest case of his career is mere weeks away from trial. At least having his son at camp would give him time to locate his wife and try to convince her that his suggestion could work. Meeting the camp's owner, Beau Delacroix, turns Colin's world upside down. His insane attraction to Beau is an impossible situation. The man is going to be working with his son all summer and an affair would be completely inappropriate. Besides, the ease with which Beau bonds to his son makes Colin feel like a hopeless failure. Beau Delacroix never intended to become the director of Five Rivers, a summer camp for mentally and physically handicapped kids founded by his grandfather fifty years before, but he discovers too late fate has a sense of humor, putting him in the one place he never wanted to be only to discover he loves the camp and the kids. When the camps funding gets cut, he needs a lawyer and fast; Colin MacNeill seems like a godsend except for the fact that they can't stand to be in the same room together. And the even crueler twist of fate makes Colin MacNeill the hottest man he's ever come face to face with. Can Beau get Colin past first impressions and convince him to help save the camp? One thing's for certain, it's going to get pretty hot at Five Rivers this summer...

| Un livre qui aurait pu être très bon mais qui rate la coche pour moi du moins même si je n'ai pas totalement détesté.
Colin se retrouve du jour au lendemain à devoir s'occuper de son fils de 5 ans autiste, sa femme Marissa à quitté le domicile après que Colin qui refusait d'avoir un autre enfant lui est dit qu'il était gay.
Marissa est détestable au plus possible mais elle fait un personnage très intéressant et je crois qu'elle a beaucoup plus de problèmes qu'elle ne le croit vraiment et qu'elle va devoir travailler sur sa vie car elle ne sera jamais heureuse.
Colin est parfois super monsieur je contrôle tout et d'autre fois une pauvre petite chose qui pleure pour des riens lolll assez déconcertant.
L'histoire entre Colin et Beau va à mon avis beaucoup trop vite et on a un peu de la difficulté à suivre la position du livre dans le temps. De plus j'ai eu un peu de la misère avec les scènes de sexe, avec-sans condom, avec-sans préparation, avec-sans vie privée lolll disons que ça se modifie selon.
Kerrigan est vraiment lui aussi un beau personnage bien penser et bien dirigé dans le l'histoire, j'aurais aimé avec un après avec la famille au complet pour voir son évolution.
Le fond de l'histoire est bon, le petit côté suspense c'est cool aussi malgré qu'un directeur de camp d'été qui fait la une internationale parce qu'il a un petit ami... euh... c'est poussé un peu. Les personnages à part Colin que j'ai trouvé moins solide sont intéressants. Le tout aurait au besoin de plus de longueur pour tout le contenu et d'une petite révision et peut-être que ça aurait pu être un hit. Là c'était juste une petite histoire pas trop mal, assez le fun à lire si on ne veut pas se casser la tête. | |
