Rating: 5 out of 5

Skip and Paul are great together. Paul is sexy, patient, great in bed, funny and level headed with a dash of sweet. Skip has that boyish charm, has no problem enjoying what Paul has to offer n bed. He is also sweet and funny; however, he can be a bit unsure of himself and annoying (you'll see once you read the book). He needs to get his act together when in comes to love and relationships with his lover.This has become one of my favorite books. I can't wait to see what J.H. comes out with next. I hope it's a sequel to A Simple Romance. I think that after you read this, you will find it hard to see the characters go. All of the characters gel with each other and you will find yourself laughing out load at a good portion of the dialogue and interactions between the characters. Skip and his mother Maggie are quite funny when they get together. You will find Johnny and Katie quite charming and funny, too. Paul also has his laugh out load moments as well. The sex scenes are HOT. The scenes are written in plain language, meaning they are not written in the flowery language that is reminiscent of a historical romance novel. The author successfully describes what is gong on between Skip and Paul when they are making love. The descriptions are a real turn on. Skip and Paul's interactions in and out of bed are fantastic and you can really see the chemistry between Paul and Skip. As in some M/M romance novels, one of the men appears to be the weaker of the two and falls into the female role. Not here. Both men remain men.Regarding the angst factor in the book. It is minimal. You will root for these two men; and you will want to kick Skip in the butt, then give him a hug. During the story, someone significant makes a return. While this person's return causes some angst, his/her return makes for some funny moments as well.I highly recommend this book. It is sweet (but not too sweet), funny, hot, and you will love the characters and dialogue. You may also fall in love with Skip and Paul, which means you will want to return to A Simple Romance over and over again.
