Description

What if you suddenly discovered the man of your dreams...only to fall asleep? For Patrick Beaton, it means casting off on a quest for the elusive Scottish Prince who spoke a few words to him and disappeared into the mists of a dream. Reminiscent of Armistead Maupin's 'Tales of the City', Louis Bayard's debut novel is a sparkling romantic comedy, where plots take hairpin bends, disorder reigns and love triumphs - though in an unexpected way.

I really enjoy this book in spite of its cutesy cover art, so much so that I'm reading it for a third time. The protagonist is very accessible, very everyday -- a gay male character I identify with as a gay male. I wish I could find more books with characters like him.

without any redeeming features. The book is quite long at 486 pages of nothing much happening at all.
