Tami Lee Conkers (should be Tami Lee BOINKERS...cause Tami likes to BOINK a lot), proudly considers herself trash. She fits right in with the low down dudes who frequent her favorite bar, The Kettle of Fish in west Dusky Beach, Florida. Everyday, after working the first shift at the Drop In Center for abused women and other indigent folks, as a counselor, she pops into the Kettle for a beer or a whiskey. Sometimes, (ok, maybe a lot) she picks up a dude for some good old fashioned shaggin! Not one for long term relationships, this changes when she lays her peepers on the new bartender, Cat (Meoooowww) Avery, one day.  He's one fine looking specimen and he loves to gab. He babbles incessantly to her about being set up and convicted of a sex offense, which he vehemently denies commiting.  Tami Lee is doubtful about that but what she isn't doubtful about is her wanting to jump his bones and go all cavegal on him. (Oooga Booga) . So nature and hormones take their course and soon Tami Lee isn't sure what is going on or if she even wants to stay in Florida. The Gulf Stream has dried up and folks are going to be paddling up dung river before too long. The relationship with Catboy kind of goes sour.I cannot say anything else for this is a pretty short read. But I will say that it was an utter joy , and compared to Ms. Corrigan's other books, darker and more realistic. I also have a vested interest in this book because I, like Tami Lee, work at a shelter, although  just exclusively with battered women and kids. Instead of the DIC, I work at the BWS. Anyway, I felt drawn to this tale regardless. But, unlike Tami Lee, I don't do the bedspring mambo with alot of dudes.  Ok. I don't AT ALL. I am married.  Oy.This is a very good read. Basically, two tough souls come together for commiseration and solace, and the more vulnerable of the two, the male, actually, somehow finds redemption and some hope in a cruel world by the end of the book. If readers are worried about Cat Avery's sex offense, there is no need to. It is explained in a realistic and very believable way. He isn't a monster.Also, must be noted, I thoroughly love the fact that Corrigan created a strong female protagonist who is utterly unapologetic for being horny and wanting and enjoying sex a lot. Too often female characters are too meek and seem like they have to be prodded or initiated into pleasure. Ahem...ahem...not Tami Lee. She is sexually agressive and I loved that about her.  Cavegal.  Ooga Booga.
