Review: a sweet, caring, gentle fairy tale, with soft and gentle touching, and did I mention it was gentle, and soft, and caring

I have only been able to make it through 50%, so far.  I might be able to force myself to come back to it some other time.  I bought this because I thought this would be one of those rare m/m books where they are partners, both equal and versatile, strong masculine characters, and they are. (which gives the second star). And, it had promise, plot wise, too.  But, it seems like every fifth word is gentle or gently, with soft(ly), sweet, caring, loving, or something similar in between.  It is so repetitive, and low passion, and boring.  Another reviewer likened it to a fairy tale, and it is, but on Valium with no energy.  It is not a short book, but not much has happened so far, the only action was very quick.  Both baseball games were long scenes of games stopped by figurative hand holding on the field, actual gentle embracing, and soft whispered promises to make everyone wait or stop the game altogether because one person felt emotional.  In a normal book, the other team would have been yelling "there's no crying in baseball"!  That's why I was so surprised that the first time they had sex, he fisted him!  Though, of course, it was described as gentle and loving and easy.  Really?  Maybe on Sanzel.
