This was really sweet. Clay and Trent had a lot of baggage that brought them to need a wilderness getaway retreat. Trent is surly and wants to be left alone, Clay is trying to prove he is not too femme. After a couple of days of being travel partners, they get to know each other better and find themselves falling in love. I loved how the relationship started quickly, but didn’t escalate too quickly not was realistic without taking too long and giving us too much angst. I enjoyed this. ( )

I have this spot set aside in my heart just for characters that are fem-y but ultimately unapologetic. Clay has moved in there right alongside of Edward.

I kinda sorta fell in love with Trent too. He and Clay did develop some amazing chemistry!

Love the story all the way through until the very abrupt ending. Noooooo! I needed more! There were too many questions left unanswered. Plus, I admit it, I'm just greedy for more of Clay and Trent together after the trip! ( )

I loved this book about a frustrated effeminate gay man, Clay, looking for a long term relationship. He decides to take a wilderness vacation to boost his self esteem and during his vacation he meets and falls in love with a tortured and lost undercover FBI agent, Trent, who is coming off a messed-up undercover-op gone horribly wrong. Their week long journey of falling in love is absolutely magical and I was rooting for them the entire way and had pit in my stomach the whole time, wondering how they could possibly have a HEA with everything they were up against once they made it back to their real lives after vacation. But, of course, the author finds a way and I'm a happy camper, just like these two cute boys.

If you love male bonding in the great outdoors, hot fems boys, big, beautiful FBI agents with a bad attitude, great sex in the great outdoors and a romantic love story, I can recommend [b:Clay's Challenge|11376946|Clay's Challenge|Cassandra Gold|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1307158150s/11376946.jpg|16308039] to you.

I did have to knock a star off for the rather abrupt ending. I felt a bit cheated. If you read it, I think you'll see what I mean. ( )

3.5 stars. I enjoyed this a bit more than Quinn's challenge. I liked that Clay is a "fem" as he puts it, and the wilderness trip was fun. ( )
