Of Love #2
A Serving of Love
The Taste of Love StoriesSebastian Franklin has waited a long time to prove himself as front of the house manager at Cafe Belgie, but his first night in charge while Darryl, his boss, is on vacation is less than a success. The restaurant is robbed at closing time, and the Good Samaritan who foiled the robber comes with his own complications. Robert Fortier is the county’s newest judge, and a reluctant one at that. He is well aware that a public life is not always easy, especially when your personal life makes you the target of a media frenzy. Still, Robert enjoys Sebastian’s company, and Sebastian is never without a serving of happiness and flair for his favorite public figure. But Sebastian is not without his issues either—family chaos and an ex in trouble will put the pressure on as they struggle for even footing in this new romance.

This book was very bland. The only hint of spice (I've been watching a Top Chef marathon today) was Sweeper and I figured out the dealio way before the reveal and then we don't even get a happy conclusion. WTF???
There was no chemistry whatsoever between Sebastian and Robert. I don't even know why they even became a couple. I also didn't like Gregory having such a big part in the story. And I agree with the other reviewers regarding the nicknames. Bunny was so fucking random. Bunny! Really?
I don't feel like we really got to know a lot about Robert. I don't even think we were given his age. Was he a 40 year old virgin? Not motivated to read the next in the series.

Oh god this was so amazing. I love accidental meeting lead to true love. Andrew Grey is a writer I just can't get enough of. Then you add to the mix strong secondary characters and coming out issues thhis book is a total package of fun mixed with some seriousness. Can't recommend it enough a Real must read.

These where two grown men. Right??
I could of sworn I was reading a YA.
“I‟ve honestly never felt happier in my life. I love you, Bunny, forever and ever,” Robert told him, lips close enough to feel their heat."
See what I mean? Their conversations with each other were just almost adolescent.
To be honest I didn't care much for Sebastian in the first book.
I just wasn't feeling the connection with Bunny and Robby. (Insert eye roll).
Plus, 30 something male coming out and a true virgin would not be THAT calm at bring publicly outted, not to mention he's an elected official.
Maybe I'm being a little harsh. Writing was classic great Andrew Grey. These guys just weren't doing it for me.

Andrew Grey and Jeff Gelder is not a good combination. Grey has a habit of writing stories where the reader or listener are told about the events and feelings of the characters, rather than being shown them. Well, part form the sex scenes, those are weirdly explicit – compared to how we are kept at a distance for the rest of the story. Now, a great and possibly even good narrator could off-set that a bit by an engaging narration, but Gelder never really delivers on that. He reads the words in front of him – and quickly. Now I’m rarely one to complain about a too fast narration, but this one was up there. So this book ended up in the miss column for me.

** This is a review on the 'Of Love' series as a whole **
I fell in love with this series (pun inteneded!) that is all about these four couples, their lives, their families and their friends. The way that their lives all intersect and come together throughout was very refreshing and intriguing as well, it made the stories just that much better for me.
The first story is all about Darryl, Billy and Billy’s twin brothers Donnie and Davey. Darryl is the owner and chef of Café Belgie. He’s worked hard to get where he is and his job has literally been his life for years. Billy and his brother’s are in hard times since their father’s death and Billy desperately needs a job. He starts working for Darryl, but it isn’t without a few hiccups along the way. When Darryl learns just how dire the brothers circumstance is, he moves them all into his house, and soon after moves Billy into his bed. They form a tight bond and quickly become a makeshift family. But mistakes that the brother’s parents made soon come back to haunt them, and Darryl is by their side the entire time.
Up next we have Sebastian and Robert’s story. Sebastian is the floor manager at Café Belgie, he too pretty much lives his work. He’s been alone for a while now since his ex cheated on him. When the Café is robbed during Sebastian’s watch, a tall uncoordinated stranger saves the day. Robert is a local attorney that has just been elected to the bench. He’s never hidden his sexuality per say, but he hasn’t advertised it either. The waiter at the Café makes him want to advertise more than just his choice of lover. Their relationship is rocky at the start. Sebastian’s ex is sick and has no one else so Sebastian lets him stay with him. Robert is thrilled, he’s grown quite attached and he’s worried about Sebastian getting hurt again. And then there is the ever present threat of Robert’s sexuality having a negative effect on his pending job as a judge.
And now we come to Russ and Peter’s story. Russ is an assistant chef at Café Belgie, and he will be the chef that will run Darryl’s new restaurant Acropolis. He’s in an abusive relationship and has been completely brainwashed into believing he’s only getting what he deserves. Peter is a salesman that sells the restaurant equipment they will need for the new restaurant. His unhindered attraction to Russ sort of opens Russ’s eyes. Even after Russ leaves his abusive boyfriend and moves in with Darryl and Billy, his ex just won’t stay away. Thankfully Russ now has an extended family through his job, which includes a newly appointed judge. And Peter is right by his side, unwavering through everything.
And finally we have Gregory and Marcus. Gregory is Sebastian’s ex, who is now Sebastian and Roberts best friend. When Gregory learned he had HIV, Sebastian and Robert became his family as everyone else he knew turned their backs on him. When Sebastian learns that the owner of the new bakery in town needs some help, he gets Gregory to assist and pay if forward. Marcus lost his last partner to the disease, so he is familiar with everything the Gregory has to deal with on a daily basis. These two seem to connect quicker than any of the other guys did, but their connection won’t be the issue within their relationship. Gregory has an ex that just won’t go away, and Marcus has less than a tolerable relationship with his father.
I love a good series when it focus’ on that specific relationship the author is building for that specific book, but still keeps you up to date with the other characters you’ve come to love in the previous books. There is a lot of action, suspense, romance, love and yes.. the sex is of the charts. But each book in and of itself, is not all about the sexual aspect. Darryl and Billy have to find a balance between their age difference and the issues they’ve learned about the twins. Sebastian and Robert have the jealously aspect. Although Gregory isn’t truly a threat, Robert is still leary of him after what he’s done in the past. And then there is them not knowing what is going to happen when the general populous finds out that Robert is, in fact, gay.
Russ and Peter’s story shows that gay men can be in emotionally and physically abusive relationships as well. And still suffer the same aftermath, carry the same scars. Peter is in a wheelchair and he will be damned if that will define who he is, and kudos to Grey because never not once did it even matter. In fact, I almost forgot he was handicapped along the way. Gregory and Marcus explore the issues and the ignorance that people with HIV have to deal with daily. Compound that with Marcus’s issues with his family and their relationship was probably the most difficult of them all.
Overall this was just a fun series that chronicled the lives of a group of gay men that are family and friends. They work together, live in the same town and have each other’s backs day in and day out. They all grow and learn together and become stronger from it. I highly recommend this series, and not just because it’s written by Andrew Grey. It’s really well written, involved, passionate and endearing.

Una cosa che adoro quando leggo ad esempio yaoi è conoscere il destino dei personaggi secondari... amo dunque tutti gli spin-off a loro dedicati, che siano pochi capitoli o una nuova serie.
Questa curiosità si applica anche ai romance quindi, dopo aver letto "un assaggio d'amore", non vedevo l'ora di scoprire chi avrebbe fatto battere il cuore di Sebastian, il capo sala del caffè Belgie.
Lo fa Robert, il nuove giudice di Carlisle che deve fare i conti con quello che i suoi cittadini si aspettano da lui e il nascere di sentimenti che non riesce più a sopprimere. Alla fine della serie posso confermare che questa è stata la mia storia preferita... secondo me sono in assoluto la coppia più tenera e il loro rapporto si è sviluppata con tempi giusti! <3
Pippone sui romance M/M pubblicato su ig al termine della lettura:
Come mi mancava leggere un po’ un bel Romance M/M scontato! ❤️ si... quello che adoro di questo genere è proprio la prevedibilità, la certezza che la storia finirà bene con dichiarazioni di amore eterno, che tutti gli amici dei protagonisti staranno sempre dalla loro parte cascasse il mondo, che i nemici si redimeranno o verranno emarginati con vergogna... insomma, una bella utopia che fa venire gli occhi a cuoricino e tirare sospiri romantici!
Questo cerco e me ne frego se lo stile potrebbe essere all'altezza di quello che potrei scrivere io, se l’edizione presenta qualche errore grammaticale che fa rabbrividire e se ogni tanto il lessico è talmente sdolcinato da far cadere le braccia a terra... mi basta che i miei sempre bellissimi e sempre fantastici protagonisti siano felici forever and ever ❤️

“Una porzione d’amore” è il secondo libro di una saga dolcissima, ormai un po’ datata, che vi consiglio assolutamente di leggere, se non l’avete ancora fatto.
Anzitutto, è stato davvero piacevole ritrovare Billy e Darryl, i protagonisti del precedente volume, insieme con tutta l’adorabile famiglia del Café Belgie.
Stavolta i personaggi principali sono Sebastian Franklin, il responsabile di sala (ovvero il capo dei camerieri), e l’avvocato Robert Fortier, che sta per essere promosso a Giudice della città.
Il loro primo incontro è uno di quelli che racconteresti ai nipoti negli anni a venire, visto che Robert – quasi per caso, e sicuramente per imbranataggine – impedisce che una rapina al locale di Sebastian vada a buon fine.
Tra i due uomini scatta presto una tenera attrazione, ma la loro storia è tutta in salita a causa di una serie di problemi. Il primo di questi è che Robert, pur sapendo da sempre di essere gay, non lo ha mai completamente accettato e non ha mai avuto alcuna relazione, preferendo impegnarsi nello studio e poi nel lavoro. Robert, che ha un animo buono e un alto senso della giustizia, è però profondamente insicuro sulla sua fisicità e si considera troppo alto, magro e goffo per poter essere amato da qualcuno.
Oltretutto, la sua imminente promozione lo rende un personaggio pubblico e un coming out sarebbe deleterio in questo frangente.
Sebastian, però, riesce a vincere le sue rimostranze e i due iniziano la loro storia senza sbandierarla, ma alla luce del sole.
Purtroppo, Bastian deve fare i conti con un ex che bussa alla sua porta in cerca di aiuto e il ragazzo, che è di buon cuore, non riesce a negarglielo, anche se questo crea parecchio attrito nella sua neonata storia con Robert.
Mi è piaciuto il fatto che Gregory, pur essendo un personaggio scomodo, via via si ‘redima’, finendo nel gruppo dei buoni.
Nella trama ci sono altri problemi – come l’omofobia, le malattie, il passato travagliato che tocca i nostri eroi – che non elencherò nel dettaglio, ma posso affermare che non c’è pericolo di annoiarsi.
Il precedente volume era sicuramente più drammatico, ma questo risulta perfetto per intrattenersi qualche ora in compagnia di una buona lettura che, alla fine, risulta dolce come una deliziosa fetta di torta.
Lo stile utilizzato è scorrevole, ben dosato nelle parti introspettive e in quelle dove accadono gli eventi. I personaggi sono tutti gradevoli, è stato bello respirare nuovamente questo clima familiare dove tutti sono disposti ad aiutarsi vicendevolmente.
Le scene sensuali sono dolcissime e ben calibrate, esplicite, ma non eccessivamente descrittive, ben amalgamate con l’evoluzione della coppia, anche in considerazione dell’inesperienza di Rob.
Anche la resa italiana è soddisfacente. È sfuggito qualche piccolo refuso, ma niente di grave.
Non vi resta che assaggiare questo dolc- pardon, questo libro: è una piccola delizia!

2014 Re-read:
Ah, such a cute story. Robert, the adorably clumsy and shy, fresh-baked judge, and Sebastian, who is so much sweeter than one would have imagined from his first appearance in volume one. The romance is slow and tender, but there’s plenty of side plots to keep things going. I like how not everything has to be resolved to the last bit but nothing is left hanging either. Lovely stuff! Even the sex worked for me.
I really do like this book.
On a slightly different note, I feel the urge to someday make charts on all the names appearing in books by this author. This series seems to favour Peters and Janes/Janets. It’s like every other walk-on gets that name. There are two Peters in this one alone, plus I believe a Jane and a Janet. I do recall the first volume having at least one of each too. Funny thing, really.
2011 Review:
Huh. This one was really very good.
It was a genuine romance, too, and any and all sexual activity was only there because it mattered at that point of the story. The actual plot and subplots were interesting as well and not even remotely depressing, as I feared they’d be as soon as I recognized them.
If I have to criticize then it’d probably be the serendipitous nature of . Not that it was difficult to guess, but it did stretch the boundaries of chance somewhat. I think there was another, tiny, minute thing that bothered me for all of fifteen seconds, but I can’t even recall what it was.
Other than that, yep! This was a really, really good book. :3 Cheers for the author, especially in light of the truly awful stuff he’s written in the beginning of his career and at times in between.
Not feeling depressed at all! <3 And suddenly judges have become a whole lot more attractive. XD
By the way? Good deal with making Robert un-beautiful and clumsy. He was still super sweet and a complete darling but things never felt overblown there. The level of attractiveness and attraction Sebastian felt for him always corresponded to the relationship and deeper emotions. Nothing superficial here, to the point where it wasn’t even an issue. And no, the author did not cheat through perspective-relevant gushing about looks either. (Not that I mind it in the least when that happens, but it’s cool when an author can make their point without it.)
Thinking it over, yes, I suppose the viewpoint, although always clean, wasn’t deep enough to compete with the stuff that really touches me way down deep. Doesn’t make the book less good, it’s just a preference I have. And maybe the minute moment I had at some point was over writing style. It conveyed all it needed to nicely but the prose wasn’t always the most polished.
*shrugs* Anyway, good deal.

Another disappointment. Are we supposed to believe that in a couple of weeks, this couple has fallen madly in love without so much as an argument?
The characters are shallow, and poorly developed. The author spends more time telling than showing. It's bad when the author has the protagonist pointing out where the other lead is demonstrating love for him.
Oh, and "Bunny"??? Seriously??? WTF!?!? I about stopped reading at that point, but then figured that I'd paid for the book, I might as well finish it.
I'm getting tired of this "m/m romance, but written so that horny housewives can get their naughty jollies" genre. I'm a man -- I want to read about other men and not some piece that seems to be explained in great detail to the hetero audience. I guess the author sold out and went for the quick buck, but would have been more satisfied if it was written for the gay male audience.
One last pet peeve...who DIDN'T see the "Sweeper" thing coming about 20 pages in? Anticlimactic ... totally...
I really want this author to do well -- I want the stories to be better -- but they just keep falling flat for me.

Ok, under normal circumstances I'd probably give this book 2ish stars, but after reading book after book from Andrew Grey and encountering the same problems every single time, I'm feeling much less charitable. My biggest problem with this one? Not every couple needs to use nicknames. There's no rule that says, hey, now that we're dating we'd better come up with the most ridiculous nicknames known to man. Seriously, how about something that nobody in the real world would ever think to call their significant other? Bunny...really??? I mean, maybe if there were some reason that had been outlined prior to that big reveal...but no. There was no reason for Robert to just blurt out "Bunny" right in the middle of their first time together. I thought I must have missed something or that he saw an actual rabbit over Sebastian's shoulder.
I had high hopes for this one during the first half of the book, but the second half kinda dashed them all away.

There were some really good plot points in this novel. I really, REALLY wish this author would slow down and work on his craft. It probably isn't worth $$ his while though. His sentence structure is so repetitive it gives me a headache. His stories are good, there is just too much extraneous detail, I have a hard time finishing them. :(

I have read this book many times, it is one of my favourites by the author. It is the 2nd in the series, we met Sebastian in the first book. He is front of house manager, on his first night manning the place there is a robbery. Luckily for him, Robert foils the attempt.
Sebastian is so sweet and sassy. He takes an imiditate like to Robert. He is so very caring, as seen by the way he handles the situation with his ex. He is thrown for a lope there, but he handles the delicate situation so well. He didn't abandon him, he was there for him, even when he started his relationship with Robert. They both helped him through everything poor Gregory was going through. It was a hard topic, but handled beautifully. I loved how he showed Robert the joys of his sexuality, and helped him through it. He was patient with him, and he showed him the ropes well.
Robert has just become a Judge even though he never really wanted to. He was happy being a lawyer and was worried his sexuality would cause problems. When he told other his truth, like his mum and his friends, they handled it so well. They were so lovely to him and supported him. He is so sweet, he is clumsy, tall, and not attractive in the regular sense. But Sebastian found him attractive, and it was amazing to see Robert come out of his shell.
Their relationship built up well. I liked that they started off slow, as Robert was new to this. When they eventually did has sex, it was hot, and sweet too. They work well together, and support each other. At times Robert tried to protect Sebastian from what was happening, but I like that Sebastian didn't let him. It went a bit crazy when the truth about Robert being gay was found out, but it was amazing seeing everyone make a stand for him.
I loved the secondary characters, especially Robert's mum, she was an amazing mum to him. Gregory was a great addition, his story was handled well, I loved seeing how Sebastian and Robert helped him. It was great seeing recurring characters. The secondary bit about the homeless man, and who is truly was, was a nice touch. I love this couple, and they both deserved to be happy together. They mentioned in another book, we see there that they definitely got their HEA.

Sebastian is in charge of the Cafe while Daryl and Billy are on vacation with the boys. Robert comes in to eat for the first time and stops a robber from getting away. He's being his usual klutz of a self not doing anything besides tripping over his own feet he claimed.
Robert's just really coming out as gay and he's a new judge too. Sebastian's been out and he has an ex Gregory who's not that great of an ex boyfriend, but is a good friend. As Robert and Sebastian start dating things go good and rough at times. Robert gets outed which definitely wasn't the greatest. I hated it for him because was in the newspaper like that. Sebastian felt guilty too because it was the kiss he gave him which he didn't know Robert didn't want to be out at the time of it. It took time for Robert to come to terms with being open about it.
Sebastian came to his rescue with help of Billy and Gregory too. They also took down a money thief from a church who was the leader of protesters of Robert becoming the judge because he was gay. I loved how Sebastian stood up for him. I also wanted to throttle Robert at times for backing off worrying about Sebastian. Then Sebastian got upset because Robert was trying to protect him which drove me nuts too. Thankfully some sense came to the two of them.
I really enjoyed this book not once was the f word mentioned. There were cute moments, holidays and family in it. Billy's brothers from book one were in this along with him and Daryl. Roberts mom was also in this and he realized before the end that he had come to meet his dad without realizing it at first. He just didn't let the man know who he was. Robert got to be shown the ropes so to speak by Sebastian about being gay I thought that was adorable. I even came to adore Gregory and can't wait for his book.

This was incredibly bland and honestly a bit of a mistake on my part for reading. I only had the 1st and 3rd book of this series in my to-read list; I should have stuck with that. Now I don't want to read the 3rd one. It would have been 2 or 2.5 stars if it didn't feel like I was reading a lengthy, text-heavy powerpoint.
There was even less interesting plot than A Taste of Love, and the unnecessary nickname....I Cannot. You don't need to do that. It seemed so out of place and character.
Robert was boring as all hell and I don't feel like there was really any chemistry between him and Sebastian. Once again, plot twists were just...there and unnecessary.

Aqui vemos la historia de Sebastian y Robert. Sebastian es el encargado del restaurant de Daryl y Robert un abogado recien elegido juez del condado.
Sebastian totalmentemente abierto sobre su sexualidad, Robert con miedo de salir del closet por su reciente eleccion como juez.
Ambos se encuentran, se enamoran y lograr superar sus "problemas" juntos, dandole a la familia del restaurant de Daryl un abogado/juez importante en el condado.
Suave, romantico, no tan divertido como el anterior, pero te dejan ver un poco mas la vida de la pareja Daryl/Bill.
Aqui los personajes que son "problematicos" los dejan de lado, y se desconoce que pasa despues. Esa es una de las cosas que no me gusta mucho de este autor, los antagonistas desaparecen, como por arte de magia, y todos felices??

Robert Fortier is at that crossroads that all gay men face. To open the closet door or keep it tightly shut. Foiling a robbery at Cafe Belgie and meeting Sebastian has truly forced the issue for him. Until that fateful night the only other person who knew the truth was his mother. It never hurts when Sebastian is attracted to Robert as much as Robert is to him. The complications come from the very public aspect of Robert's position as a recently elected judge and Sebastian's ex and the pressure his illness and financial situation put on the new relationship. An excellent story for the start of the new year.

It was fun to see Robert and Sebastian’s relationship from the very beginning. Got glimpses from other books in other series, but now we get to see inside Robert and Sebastian and their relationship. Since Roberts mom said something about not having grandkids in the book I had wondered how Robert and Sebastian would be as parents. I honestly don’t know, but I think it would be interesting to find out whether or not they would even want to be parents and what that would look like for them. For example, if they chose parenthood would they get kids through surrogacy or adoption?

I read this in the fall of 2020 when the audible escape package was wrapping up. I enjoyed the book and narrator(s). I am just catching up on my reviews - This was a nice romantic story, and had both friendship and romantic love between different characters. It is nice to see an author remember that the main characters had friends/lives prior to their new love interest. The subject matter in this book covered serious and showed well knowledge of the topics-- Thanks for the great read! This was my favorite of the series!

Good romance
Interesting story and a good addition to the series. I like seeing characters from the other books but not being required to read this series in any specific order. Good character development.

Der 1. Gang von Taste of Love hat mich schon überzeugt, aber der 2. Gang noch mehr. Die Schreibweise von Andrew Grey und die Uebersetzungen find ich gut. Mal sehen wie es im 3. Gang mit Peter und Russ weitergeht.

I love the dramatic way Sebastian and Robert meet. While they seem an unlikely couple on the surface they fit so well together. I also like Robert's bravery and willingness to put his relationship first.
I listened to the audio version and really enjoyed it.

I liked this story about a waiter and a lawyer/judge finding love. It was relatively low angst and addressed interesting issues, like how much information a public official needs to to have public.

A very average read and narration. I found the story to be a bit juvenile; the narration was very stiff.

Pretty sure I read this before and must have forgotten to log it in Goodreads. Enjoyed it, fun being back at Cafe Belgie.

Because I've read so many m/m romances since I got my NOOK, I could do a review a day, and still not get through all of them in a year. I'm been kind of randomly picking one every once in a while, without any thought behind it. That will change with this review. A lot of the books I've been reading are part of a series, so I figured it would make sense if I were to review them in order, without jumping around on my NOOK. Since the last book was A Taste of Love by Andrew Grey, it's time for A Serving of Love.
We actually met Sebastian in the previous book, and he was an okay guy. A little immature at first, he quickly grew on me, and I ended up really enjoying him by the end. Well in A Serving of Love, it's his time to shine, and boy does he. What I find the most interesting about this kind of series, the type that sets up the next protagonist in the previous book, is how much the character changes once they are the center of attention. What starts off as a well rounded, two dimensional, quickly becomes a fully fleshed out three dimensional character. While I may have enjoyed Sebastian earlier, I loved him by the end of this one.
He's still a little immature, but he has such a stable head on his shoulders, and has more backbone in him than I would have thought at first. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, even helping an ex that has hit rock bottom. And when his current beau Robert gets into a pickle, Sebastian, along with Billy (one of the leads from the first book), jumps into the thick of things to fight back. He fearless in his love, and fearless in his defense of those he considers his. He is the type of man I would dearly love to have as a friend.
Robert, what can I say about the gentle giant. First of all the man is tall, and when I mean tall, I mean tall. I'm 6'2", and I would have to stand on my tippy-toes to kiss him. I've only dated one guy that was that much taller than me, and I must admit, I rather liked it. He also has such a steely sense of duty and honor. He is the kind of guy that would give you the shirt of his back, and ask you if you needed anything else. In addition to the outing portion of his story, there is a side story line concerning his father, and I have to admit that at first I was sure about the way he handled it. After rereading the book, I'm a little more understanding of the way it went down, and it makes sense with who Robert is. And did I mention that until now, Robert was a virgin.
Together, I think the two of them are smoking hot, and compliment each other beautifully. They create such a solid foundation for their relationship, and they deal with so many outside stresses, that I'm almost positive nothing could break them up. I think I still like Darryl and Billy a bit more, and I'm always grateful for the page time they get in this, and the proceeding books. And just to give you guys a hint, look for Sebastian's ex to have his own story, two books from now.
And by the way, and I'm pretty sure everyone else on the planet already knew what steak frites were, but it's not something I've ever heard of. It's apparently considered the national dish of Belgium and France, but I have never, in my life, had fries with my steak. I'm only bringing this up because it's the most popular dish at Cafe Belgie, and apparently the only thing Robert knows how to order when he goes there. So one day, I'll have to try it. I have no idea why, but the idea of eating fries with my steak, bugs me a bit. Maybe if I can have it with sweet potato fries, it wouldn't weird me out so much.

We are again aback in Carlisle, PA, at the wonderful Café’ Belige. Darryl and Billy are vacation with Billy’s young brothers leaving Sebastian Franklin in charge of the restaurant, he takes his duties very seriously since being promoted to Front or the House Manager, and he wants to do a very good for the couple that is his best friends. Our whole cast is back; Kelly, the sous chef filling in as chef for the week, Maureen, still working her magic with the desserts, filling in that week as the sous chef. The week starts out right, the restaurant is busy, the food good, the guest happy. Then just before they close up a man comes in and robs them. Sebastian follows Darryl’s rule of just giving them what they want. The guy is leaving, nobody got hurt, then outside the robber bumps into a man and falls head first into a car, allowing the police to get there and arrest him.
The man who ‘caught’ the robber by tripping on his own feet while walking into the café’ was Robert Fortier, a local lawyer who just got elected as a judge. Sebastian brings him in and serves him coffee and food on the house for his help. Robert is not sure what it is about the man across from him, but he is attracted to this cute guy and very surprised to hear Sebastian talk about the gay owners of the restaurant with no thought of taboo. Robert is gay, but between work, school, and getting established in his field, he has never had the desire or time to date anyone, no he wants to make time. At 6’6” and 180 lbs, Robert didn’t think that he was very attractive; Sebastian had other ideas about all that smooth skin.
Clare Fortier raised her son by herself and is fiercely proud of what he has been able to accomplish in his young life. Robert had come out her years ago, but since he had never dated a man, or ever said anything about she had hoped that he had changed his mind. So when he called and told her that he was dating Sebastian and would like her to meet him, she agreed, knowing that she would accept her son’s choice and morning her lost grandchildren. Yes, her and Sebastian got along wonderfully especially after Robert got outted in the paper as the New Cumberland Gay Judge. The two of them put their minds together to come up with a way to protect Robert.
Jon Grant is the head partner in Robert’s law firm, and when Robert comes out him he gives his support, and also finds ways to keep the reporters at bay once it is in the paper about Robert being gay. Millicent is Robert’s assistant, who he is taking with him when he takes his robes of office, becomes a dragon when fielding his calls from the curious and bigoted populous. What a book, I started it and could not put it down, a great trip to PA, and a cozy meal with friends, that is the feel this book of Mr. Grey’s gives you, good food, great conversation, and hot sex. What more could a reader want as they are mixed together just right and served piping hot. A must read for Andrew Grey’s fans. A delightful story, wonderfully done, if you like your food hearty, your men hot, and your conversation witty with a touch of deviousness pick this book up quickly. Five Stars
