A 4-star rating for Entangled by Lex Valentine.  This well written story meets all the criteria for a MM romance, but does not have any surprises.I recommend Entangle to those readers who like a sweet love story.  Lex Valentine is a reward winning writer whose writing is easy to read, concise and moves along at a comfortable speed.Personally, and this in my bias, why are the lovers in most MM romances always handsome, over 6 foot tall, hung and successful.  The fantasy world is filled with gay men of this type.  If two guys of this description get together, why wouldn't they find each other attractive? Many readers of romance novels like fantasy and dream of finding and marrying the perfect man who fits the description above.  Not me! I am not perfect and I don't expect perfection in others.The MM romance stories that have really touched my heart are those with characters who experience mental, physical or emotional challenges at some point in their lives.  Character develops as we accept ourselves and other's imperfections. It is a test of the love shared in the relationship. By learning to accept and balance our partner's strengths and challenges, love grows and the relationship becomes stronger.It may sound like I am knocking this story. The author is merely writing what is believed to be what we want to read. I merely want to let good writers, like Lex Valentine, know what I would like to see in a more realistic MM romance novel.
