On the cusp of his 25th birthday, Bo Sanford grows frustrated with his directionless life. Slaving away at his father's construction company all week and partying every weekend leaves him little time for introspection, but he knows it's time for a change. When his best friend Mac drags him to a college party, Bo catches sight of a girl. But not just any girl - the girl of his dreams a delicate blonde-haired beauty with a pink scarf and a smile that promises warmth and humor. There's just one problem She isn't a girl.
Even after Bo discovers the truth, he keeps seeing Erick, and the choice to follow his heart despite the obstacles has profound repercussions on not only his sense of self, but his relationship with his family and even his job. Being with Erick makes him all the more determined to be his own man and claw his way out from under his father's thumb.
But Erick faces choices of his own the choice to get involved with someone redefining his sexuality, the choice to trust again, and even the choice to believe love can last beyond the temporary.

This didn't really speak to me. I don't mind gay for you stories and quite liked Bo and Erick. I definitely liked the way they met, and their early interactions. I guess it was too realistic/ordinary for me, and not romantic or hot enough. Bo is the working class builder, fighting with his dad, worried about aging at 25. Erick is more enigmatic, and thus more interesting to me, but it's really told through Bo's eyes, so we don't get into Erick's head. It was solid story telling, but the sentences never sang for me, I guess I didn't find it poetic or sensual enough, it was a little too mundane.Product details

Choices and Changes (Audible Audio Edition) K L Belanger Jonathan Waters Dreamspinner Press LLC Books Reviews
This book was recommended in a review, as "a better choice than this story." They were so right! The characters are well developed and the story is interesting without becoming overly dramatic or weird. A good choice for those who like "late coming out" type stories.
I loved how this book told their story slowly and they actually got to fall in love instead of just having sex all the time and rushing the book. It was a great story of how you can fall in love and better yourself by doing so. I highly recommend it great book and characters loved this couple so much wouldnt mind a sequel!
This is the second time I've read this book, the first time being a couple of years ago. I don't know why I didn't rate it then, probably because I was lazy, but I felt I really should this time around. It's a wonderful story with great characters. I enjoyed it as much this second time as I did the first. Well worth reading and rereading.
Not your average M/M novel (whatever that might be)! Belanger's book is vastly better written than most, sophisticated vocabulary, excellent sentence structure, top-notch dialogue. The book is well edited and virtually free of the sloppy errors that beset to many books in the genre. The plot-line is a trifle implausible, perhaps, but the characters seize the reader's heart and mind, and one hopes for the (almost inevitable) positive conclusion. And that is perhaps the best descriptor. It is a "positive" story with characters who, at the end of the day, are up-beat--despite having endured adversity. In that sense, a "feel-good" novel. I have read it twice in just a couple of months--2nd time took me a good deal less long but I enjoyed it just as much. You will, too . . . .
I read this book with the high hopes that it would be spectacular. I will give it that it was entertaining, and it was very cute-sy. I must say that the author seemed to have missed the mark as far as the point of view of the other gay characters. I got the sense that all the characters were gay, even when they were supposed to be "straight", a little more research on the authors part would have helped. It felt as though the author wrote these characters based off of gay friends and had no real realization of what a straight person would act/feel/do, etc.
Thus is a great surprise. There is a believable slow burned romance here which I enjoy. No straight rushing into sex and almost instant declaration of undying love, thank you. i also like that each guy has his own background and story. They do not only work through their relationship but also have baggages, fears in their own lives. Bo needs to finally stand up to an authoritative father beside accepting that he is gay, in love with a man and come out to family and his best friend. Erick seems o have everything under control but the truth is far from it. I really feel for this young man when his past catches up with him. Both MCs are very likable. Nothing over the top but two ordinary and very decent guys who want to make the best out of their lives. There are a bit of light moments too, provided by Bo's very feisty sister-in-law and his wild but loyal best friend. On the writing, the beginning does get too wordy in their exchanges and I can only see the writer improving with more releases because she can write! Really enjoy this one and look forward to more from her.
This one took me by surprise. Bo and Erick are two lovely, well-developed characters who felt so real to me. Like other reviews have stated, their relationship and romance was a slow-burn. But I think the author was smart to handle the narrative like this because it came across as plausible, which made the plot all the more heart-felt and relevant. Bo and Erick actually GET TO KNOW each other. What a novel idea! And what they learn as their unexpected attraction and relationship blossoms is that they make each other stronger as individuals by being together, as friends first and lovers later.
SLIGHT SPOILER I found myself tearing up at each of their back stories, but Erick's experience as a victim of domestic abuse of the worst kind was such an important issue to touch upon, I think. Because it DOES unfortunately happen in gay relationships just like it does in straight ones, but I've never seen it brought to light for the audience of gay romances like I have for straight romance novels. I was so pleased the author showed that although men can be victims, they can also fight to break the abusive cycles . . . and find self-worth and love again if given time. Hopefully with someone who's soul is as gentle, sweet, and patient as Bo's.
I had trouble putting this book down to get sleep last night. Always the sign of the best reads. So good. You will not be disappointed.
