This story is exactly as the titled was intended. Simple and sometimes simple is what you crave in a story.

It's not action packed, there is no overwhelming angst, it's simple.

If it wasn't for the side story of the younger college guys, who were funny and entertaining, this could have gone into boring.. but we did have the college guys and they kept the story moving along.

This has spoilers in it so if you don't want to know anything about what happens then don't read.

okay, I just have to say that this book could have been good, the premise was interesting, but the book fell totally flat. I was more interested in what happened to Brad & Jason then Chip & Foster. Plus, Chip was a freakin' douche bag, he slept with a married woman, twice. I don't like that, at all. People who cheat or will knowingly sleep with a cheater are not heroes in my eyes.

Primero que nada el libro nos cuenta dos historias, la de Chip y Foster, y la de Brad y Jason, adelantaros que más me ha gustado lo poco que he tenido de Brad y Jase.

Brad y Jase son dos chicos jugadores de fútbol americano, ambos son amigos, y más dispares no podrían ser, mientras Brad es todo un gallito, medio macarro, peleón, Jason es tranquilo, pacifista, no le gusta liarla, peroo solo basta que Brad proponga algo para que en Jase se despierte el pillo que lleva dentro... La historia de ambos a sido preciosa, amigos desde el ingreso a la universidad, compañeros de cuarto, y siempre él uno para el otro, hasta que tantas luchas y roces (que también pertenecen al equipo de lucha libre) los hace enterarse de una realidad un poco incómoda: deseo sexual mutuo... a lo largo del libro veremos como luego de un esclarecedor beso, la cosa hecha chispas, pero luego se enfría algídamente, mas los celos y posesividades, harán de las suyas, y sobre todo ver lo felices que son Chip (el entrenador de ellos) y Foster como pareja, los hace despertar y asumir que están enamorados, pero aún no preparados para salir del armario... hasta que un envidiosillo los pone en evidencia y los chicos tienen que unirse a la "Alianza Gays Heteros" del club de teatro para tener apoyo moral xDDD...

Chip y Foster, tienen lo suyo también, aunque más me gustaros los universitarios esos...

Lo malo o lo que no me convenció tanto fue el tan repentino y brutal enamoramiento que Chip sintió, lo descojonó como 5 minutos, y luego quiso quitarse la "espina" liándose con una tipa, hasta que como 3 minutos luego decide tomar la situación por los cuernos y enfrentar lo que siente y zas, pasamos a las miraditas bobas y cusirerías y besuqueos... y cuando llegas a la escena del gran momento, Chip encima de Foster y listo para la acción, nanay, y nanay y más nanay por muchos capis más... que no se lee nada de nada, y vamos tío, pelín defraudada... aunque sí lo hacen, solo que ni te enteras, las que halláis leído Amanecer(Stephanie Meyer), me entenderáis, fue como y se besaron y luego estaban abrazándose luego de hacer el amor, lo mismo con Brad y Jason (y mira que son un par que prometía un morbo).

También el hecho de que recién a medio párrafo te enteras desde qué punto de vista transcurre lo que lees, si es cosa de Chip, de Foster, de Jason o Brad.

Por lo demás, dos historias bien tiernas y dulzonas, la de los amigos opaca la historia principal, pero nada del otro mundo ni tampoco que resalte, me ha hecho falta el cacao mental que le supone a un siempre hetero enterarse que se empalma por un tío... culpabilidad, pasión... y aunque está el momento en que todo se va al garete, no crea suficiente tensión para el momento tan esperado de la reconciliación, es más, ni cuenta me había dado de que había terminado el libro si no es porque me salió el mensajito en la pantalla del ereader de que ya no habían más páginas , y la escena? los dos tortolitos reconciliados sentados y abrazados sobre la rama de un árbol, ya solo faltaba que el autor pusiera que estaban contemplando el ocaso...

This book was like molasses to finish for me. Very slow and I didn't really come to like Chip that much.

Brad and Jason, secondary characters were more interesting to me.

The head hopping was confounding at times especially from Brad to Jason or vice versa. Half the time I had no idea which POV I was getting until I read the paragraph more than once.

There is no graphic sex in this book and there are m/f liasons.

Chip Arnold is the football coach for the Verona College Growlers and big time ladies man. Chip bounces back and forth between women looking for something that will last.

When the story begins he’s dating Lynn, a professor at Verona. He likes her well enough but that’s about as far as it goes. He’s thinking about breaking it off but can’t seem to do it. Lynn feels the same way but she doesn’t want to be alone.

I liked this story. It's got something about it that I personally found charming and endearing. It's a bit like the romantic comedies of old with lots of quirky characters and oddball mishaps and misunderstandings. The humour is gentle and understated, more smile to myself, than laugh out loud, but it does have its moments. The whole aspect of the story is a wee bit far-fetched but no more so than a lot of other gay for you stories and I thought for its type it was done very well. In a way there...more

Here's the deal with Simple Men. First off, I bought it from audible, and it was a perfect book to listen to while I did my laundry. It wasn't any pricier than the kindle book, so it was a steal! And the narrator basically read it, which was fine, but didn't add anything special to the story. I would've rather Eric have read it himself. :)

I just…this was just what I consider to be garbage. A true waste of my time. Too superficial and stereotypical of gay-for-you literature (which I didn’t know it was originally or else I wouldn’t have even bothered). Naturally Chip (whom I never liked) is boning every female around (married or else) and has never thought about another man sexually (though he’s kind enough to “let” gay men feel his muscles and help him pick out clothes). Whatever. There’s an abundance of self loathing in the subte...more

愉快な話ですｖ
コメディ系の青春恋愛映画を見ているような話の展開です。

この話には二組のゲイの恋愛があるんですが、メインのカップリングは、
大学のフットボール部の監督×大学に配属された新任の神父

監督の方はプレイボーイなストレートの男だったのですが、面白いことに、初めて神父に出会って一目ぼれするんです（笑）もうそれがほんとに可愛いし面白い！経験豊富な大人なのに完全に初恋に落ちた少年状態になるんですから、もうほんと可愛いです！一方の神父は、はじめからゲイと認知されてる神父で、ちょっとナイーブな好青年。この二人の恋愛はまるで十代の恋愛みたいにほんと可愛いです！あと笑いどころがたくさんあってほんと読んでいて楽しいですｖ

サブのカップリングとして登場するのは、大学のフットボール部に所属する二人の学生同士のカップル。二人はすごく親友同士で、お互いに親友以上の感情を相手に持っているけど、ストレートだと互いに思いあってるので、お互いに気持ちを打ち明けられずに戸惑ってるというすれ違いカプ。このカプは親友から一歩踏み出すまでの経過がとても微笑ましいです。

On the one hand I like Eric Arvin’s unique voice and his humor is very entertaining. It’s a bit over the top but he has a way of inviting the reader to laugh along with him and his characters. The writing is economical without extraneous, never ending descriptions. However for all of that, the attempt here to describe every day men who fall in love just didn’t work well for me. I found the story boring and difficult to engage and ultimately I didn’t particularly like any of the characters. This is likely to be very reader dependant and I’ll still continue to buy/read Arvin’s books.

The story follows two sets of men as they work their way to a happy ending. The first set is the football coach at a small college, Chip, and the new pastor, Foster. Chip is the classic ladies man that sleeps around a lot, loves sports, and doesn’t do well with emotions or communication. Foster is an openly gay chaplain, struggling with a recent breakup and trying to find something outside of his vocation to focus on. While Chip never imagined being gay, Foster wonders if he’ll ever find a healthy, happy relationship with another man. Their relationship starts off with a bang as Chip is immediately attracted to Foster and pursues the younger man vigorously. Chip doesn’t spend much time agonizing over his first gay relationship, he throws himself into the new experience and assumes an immediate confidence that even Foster lacks.

Alongside these two are two young men, best friends and football players that realize their friendship has romantic overtones. Brad and Jason are always together and their rough housing and teasing has lately taken on an erotic edge. The story follows these two as they figure out what they want and how to take their friendship to a sexual relationship. While these two young men are by turns outrageous and funny, I’m not sure why this storyline is added. Their relationship is not bad or distracting, but it’s not the main focus and it seems as though the story wanted to show another common, everyday couple. These two men are meant to typify young jocks with their behavior and that is translated well while their new status as boyfriends doesn’t raise any issues.

The dual stories lines are shown in third person viewpoint that hops around a bit. Sometimes this is confusing as it’s difficult to tell if the reader is in Brad or Jason’s head since the boys are very similar in many ways. Additionally there are no sex scenes and all the sex is fade to black, which in this case works very well. The focus on the men and the mostly easy road to happiness isn’t distracted by angst or sex for the most part. The writing tends to be sparse and economical, all written in the author’s unique style of voice. The humor tends to be over the top in some ways with exaggerated effects which sometimes didn’t work so well here as the story is not that funny. Several times the characters would refer to themselves or actions as plot lines or clichés – “Despite his best efforts, he had become a plot device after all.” -, which in this case just reminds the reader they are reading a contrived story and the characters are in fact bad plot lines.

There are also some aspects of the book that just don’t make much sense. Later in the story Foster has a crisis of conscience and breaks up with Chip because a mutual friend isn’t happy with the relationship. This seems incredibly far fetched and even when the friend comes around, the two don’t get back together. Instead when they do get back together there is very little motivation and neither the reasons for the initial breakup and later reunion work well. The pace also tends to lag and although the story should be a quick read, I struggled to be interested and engaged and ultimately took much longer to read this than previous Arvin books.

This might be a case of reader preference as the attempt to show everyday “simple” men falling in love is a good idea. Arvin’s unique voice and simple writing help but ultimately I didn’t enjoy the characters or the story very much. There aren’t huge flaws that will kill readers’ enjoyment so if this sounds like something you could enjoy, check it out.

In a liberal arts college tucked away in the nondescript Mideast, there is a sweet little love story brewing between two unlikely people: a football coach and ladies' man who thinks himself very very straight and an openly gay chaplain who is emotionally closeted when it comes to new relationships. There's no clear-cut villain, no central figure our main protagonists need to cut down Scott Pilgrim-style in order to realize their love for each other, but there's plenty of drama and excitement and conflict for everyone involved. Plus, the emotional rollercoaster between Chip and Foster isn't the only story going on in Simple Men; there's also the side plot of football playing students Brad and Jason, who are slowly realizing their friendship might be something more after being dared to kiss under the water in the men's shower room. There's lots of male/male romance with some male/female and even implied female/female on the side, so you'd be hard pressed to find at least one couple you don't like in the entire book.

As for the setting of the book itself - the Verona College - for a religious college, it seems terribly accepting of homosexuals, even hiring an openly gay chaplain. This is not to say that religious automatically equals homophobic, but the fact that none of the staff have any serious hang-ups over Foster is a little unreal in this genre. What animosity there is at his relationship with Chip is more directed at Chip for being . . . well, Chip. There are some people in town not cool with the fact that Chip is in love with another man, including some of his past one night stands, as well as the usual machismo neuroses in the male-dominated sports sphere over Jason and Brad's romantic developments - but beyond that, the majority of the story's drama is due to the relationships themselves, not to outside forces trying to bring them down (a very common plot device in male/male romance novels). So yes, Simple Men could probably comfortably fit inside the genre of 'gaytopia fiction', in which the characters have nothing or very little to fear about their LGBT identities from homophobic surroundings, but if you enjoy your male/male stories rife with the chosen couple fighting the abominable queer-hating intolerant right, you may leave this book wanting more.

This is not to say that Simple Men disappoints, because it does not. It takes a smart look at the fluidity of sexuality through Chip's character and his newfound attraction to Foster, as well as the fickleness of relationships and how they can both harm and help us - from Chip's recent failure of a romance with his girlfriend to Foster's reluctance to enter any new relations since being cheated on by his last lover and finding out about it in the worst way possible. There's also plenty of humor to temper all the histrionics, especially when it involves Brad and Jason or Katie riding around campus in her golf cart. It's a fun, light read that is only two hundred pages and definitely worth the price tag for the paperback (it also helps that the cover image itself is pretty easy on the eyes), so if you are looking for a romance between two grown men trying to balance their love lives and careers as well as two young men discovering their own mutual affections in a college setting, you can't go wrong with the story of Simple Men.

Here is a gay romance that is touching and my personal preference in heat. The author is interested in character and struggle and not in graphic portrayal. Considering this is a gay book, it is demure. Compared to my favorite female thriller/romance writers this writer is quasi Victorian. Okay, that is stretching it a bit. Nevertheless, it is refreshing to pick up a book focusing on gay character not gay sex written as the verbal equivalent of the Roman mosaics in Pompeii brothels.

Ugh... it was okay. I feel like books need to have a warning for "gay for you" plot lines. That's when a character is straight except for this one special person. Porn doesn't work, no other same-sex body works, just that one person. I really don't believe that there are people like that.

Other than that, the plot was just okay. It was very predictable and I didn't care about the characters. At first the books was amusing and witty, but as it went on it just got tired. The sex was tame and/or fa...more

Simple Men is a very light-hearted love story between two couples, Foster and Chip, and Jason and Brad. While most of the story focuses on Foster and Chip's budding relationship, I felt more drawn to the secondary relationship between Jason and Brad. Their relationship was full of life, while Foster and Chip's relationship seemed heavy and forced. Regardless though, I really enjoyed the book and I can't wait to read another of Eric Arvin's books.

This is a light, funny, and sweet romance between a college football coach and the college's chaplain. There's also a great secondary romance between two of the players on the coach's team, who spend most of the book struggling to define what they feel for each other in a way that is charmingly naive (in a good way). Bonus points for the character of Katie, who spends most of the novel driving around a golf car like a maniac and getting all the best one-liners.

This seemed like a sitcom to me. I liked it, but it moved strangely... I agree with others who have reviewed, when they say they liked Brad and Jason. I think there is another book waiting with those two taking the lead. Their final years of college and then out to the real world, make for a lot of possibilities for these two to be excellent roll models. I hope Simple Men was just an "introduction" for more to come.
