Why This Must Be Read:  One of my measures for how much I love a story is how often I reread it, and this is one I go back to again and again with as much enjoyment every time as there was the first time.  Long and plotty, the author tells the tale of a Jack and Daniel who stumble into a relationship, almost literally, with life, the universe and everything then conspiring against them after they've decided to, y'know, do something about it.  As always, Biblio's abilities to craft words in ways both stylish and meaningful, as well as to tangle plot and relationship, immutably, are abundantly in evidence.  And the life in and around these two men is full of evocative, tangible detail that's funny, suspenseful, dramatic, romantic and, always, sexy. 

Author's Summary:  "A week in the life of an arthritic colonel and a myopic linguist in pursuit of THE perfect date."

Biblio is THE Jack/Daniel author for me. I, like you, find myself returning to these stories again and again.

Biblio manages to keep Jack and Daniel recognizable while weaving plausible stories around them.

And I have to say my very favorite part of this one is where Daniel, dressed to the nines, threatens to take a sociological tour of one of the local gay bars....

Yep, and a certain Colonel's reaction, as well. ::g::

Yes, Biblio is definitely tops on my reread list. Her ability to both create a compelling story and write it exceedingly well, while keeping it all in character, is amazing. :-)
