Sorry to say this is a pretty boring book. The MCs are nice, inoffensive, bland. Their meeting and falling in love is seamless, featureless, missing any kind of emotional topography. Boring. The homophobic, ex-wife from hell storyline that could have lent some tension, drama was left to peter out like a wet fire cracker.  There was absolutely nothing compelling about their romance. They met. They each perceived the other's cuteness. They talked/they kissed/they sizzled like with no other/they were in love. Finis.On the other hand, if you have a thing for middle aged, middle class, middle western characters named Lyle and Rodger for whom love blooms beige, scent-free and thornless these two might be the guys for you. And I gave it two stars because as flaccid as the story line was the writing could have been SO much worse.
