Some Like It Haute #4
Grabbing My Slyce!
Frank Slyce is on the make.
Pent up his whole life in the small town of Juniper, South Carolina, he attends cooking school in Rhode Island, where he also taps into his inner romantic.
At least, romance is what he's looking for. To those watching him in action, it looks more like he's on the prowl.
After a relationship with his buddy at cooking school, a guy who earns big money by hosting video chats with lonely rich guys, Frank determines that he should return to his hometown and open a pizza joint.
Still unfulfilled romantically, he continues to seek the perfect man. His parents take him to their Unitarian church where Frank discovers a new preacher--and he wastes no time bedding him. But the good minister turns out to have plenty of baggage of his own.
Frank turns to other places with fertile soil—the local bank! Indeed, when he heads there to apply for a small business loan, he spots a debonair older gent named Nicholas (whatever you do, don't call him "Nick"). He wastes no time in busting his move.
Though Frank appears to be a young man in rut, his intentions are always To find the right man.
But contrary to prudish notions, you never know if someone’s the right man until you sleep with him!
A slow-burn, age-stratified, HEA gay romance.
Tropes : Forced Proximity; Hurt/Comfort; Slow Burn; Age-Stratified or May/December Romance
Themes : Family Strife; Dealing with the loss of a partner/spouse; Dealing with internalized homophobia
Possible Triggers : Occasional drug use; death of a spouse; mental health issues; multiple breakups.
Though Grabbing My Slyce! is part of the Some Like It Haute! Gay Romance Series, it may also be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Was lost through the whole book.
I really enjoyed the first 3 books in the series, but this one was so bad. I have never read a book that jumped all over the place and so hard to follow. I truly felt lost throughout the entire book. I really do not think this one was thought through very well.

Another triumph, Dann. You made Frank jump through a number of hoops, but EVERYBODY in this book ended up married to someone who was right for him, including Frank. An absolute tour-de-force.
