When his partner of eight years decides he wants something else--something that doesn't involve Skip or the apartment or even the cat--Skip decides it's time to go home to the other side of the country.However, Skip's hometown doesn't just hold a loving meddling mother but also the memories of his awkward crush on a boy he met his senior year in high school. A boy he humiliated himself in front of just when it looked as if his fantasies might become reality. Finding out Paul Miller is now working at the same high school where Skip has just been hired flips his world upside down. After a heated night together, Skip is happy being friends with benefits. Paul will have to convince him love is worth the risk.Review:What a sweet, funny, romantic story and the title A Simple Romance is exactly what this book is about. Sometimes it's nice to read a story without all the angst, tears and wanting to kill the MC's. This story is for one of those rainy days where all you want to do is park yourself on the couch with a blanket and read something relaxing.Skip returns to his home town after a breakup with his long time partner Monty and runs into Paul, a former class mate and his High School crush. Paul had just lost his husband a year previously and is ready for a new relationship and Skip is the one he wants but for Skip a new relationship is a scary thing and resists committing to Paul.Family doesn't help matters with everyone pushing these two together and even though some of it was a bit over the top I found them funny. Paul and Skip belong together their relationship is sweet and romantic plus they made me laugh out loud, their conversations where hilarious they are two very hot guys that found their HEA.This was a perfect read for me at just the perfect time.I recommend this book to all the romantics.
