Review: Bland and unbelievable

I usually don't enjoy m/m stories written by women, as the male characters just don't feel real to me.  Every so often however, I try a m/m book written by a woman only to be let down again.  One thing that really bothered me about this book is the fact that "straight" Ben "became" gay as the book progressed.  This begs the whole question about being gay for one person, but not the gender as a whole.  Why this bothers me so badly is this is what the religious people keep harping on about, that being gay is a choice, not something that is hardwired in and unchangeable.The sex was meh.  The entire story seemed a trifle soap opera-ish to me, with a villain who didn't bring even the barest hint of danger to the story. A bland outing at best, and at worst a book perpetuating the myth of lgbt sexual orientation choice.
