A 5-Star rating for "BTW I Love You" by Nico Jaye. A pleasant romantic story that is high on romance and has light erotic content.  This is a love affair that springs from an unlikely encounter between two people that got the rare opportunity to get to know each other over 6 months before they met in person. Two people that may not have connected up if they had met under different circumstances. The story highlights how much greater a role shared interests, values and outlooks should play within a relationship as compared to physical looks.I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy a good M/M romance that has lots of angst and buildup. This is not erotica. Sensuality is within the context of the story and is not the focus of the story.  It is what you would expect from a typical, well-written story.Personally, I like this story and the author delivered what readers have come to expect in a typical romances story.  I was pleased that at least one of the main characters is an average guy. As a note to authors, I would like to see more romance novels were the main characters are not built like Greek gods, endowed, tall and irresistible. Who wouldn't be attracted to guys like that. It is more challenging when a character have personality flaws, insecurities and average looks. Disabilities present their own challenge in finding and developing a relationship. Stories of this type allow me to better relate and sympathize with the characters rather than seeing the characters in a world of their own that I could never aspire to reach. Granted, some readers like pure fantasy. Some of us prefer down to earth characters who, like the rest of us,  are struggling to find love and hoping to develop a relationship in a challenging world.
