Ro's Reviews > Clay's Challenge

4.5, and with a slightly less rushed ending, it would have been a 5. Absolutely loved Clay. Always choosing the wrong guy, or else scaring guys off by becoming too clingy, but in the end, just wanting someone to love and love him for who he was. The online date, Mike, who supposedly got to know him and like him, then brushed him off with a "I don't date fems" was a complete asshat. Clay questions everything about himself then, and comes up with a negative. Too fem, too weak, too small, too nothing. He signs up for the Wilderness Adventure to prove to himself that he is more than that, even though, Clay, you always were. Having Trent, another confused and wounded soul, as his partner was the best thing that could have happened to him, though it doesn't seem like it at first. Trent is surly, uncommunicative and rude.

Once they hit the wilderness trail, seeing Caly blossom and show his strength was a wonderful thing. Things didn't seem too fairy tale throughout, and so the ending was a bit of a disappointment, but they are SUCH a great couple.
