S.E.X. Review~ Second Chances in Cedarwood by Megan Slayer

Who knew love could be found at a small-town hot dog shop?

Jack Walters opened his hole-in-the-wall restaurant to serve hot dogs—being a chef is all he’s ever wanted out of life. Love hasn’t worked out for him, so the last thing he expects is to find romance at his shop. But Jack’s been hurt before and he’s leery of the sexy man who keeps visiting his restaurant.

Henry Lord has been all around the world. He’s visited gourmet foodie places and tiny restaurants, but he loves the ambience at Jack’s Hot Dog Shop. He’s also in lust with the sexy owner. Henry’s shy, but he’s determined to get Jack’s attention. There are people who want to use Jack and change him.

Not Henry. It’ll take a herculean effort to prove to Jack that he’s the one for Henry. Good thing Henry believes in love, second chances and finding his home…in Cedarwood.

Reader advisory: This book contains mentions of homophobia, and emotionally abusive exes.

Second Chances in Cedarwood by Megan Slayer was a quick, sweet read, albeit a bit over emotional. Jack and Henry were seasoned men with lifestyles not conducive for relationships- or so they thought.

First I would like to say that I appreciated the author using mature individuals in her story and not the traditional twenty something. Men in their forties are sexy and so much fun to read about. Having said that, while I enjoyed the story, the constant self-doubt and lamenting by both men, especially Jack, was slightly over the top for this reader.

I understood the premise of be cautious in a potential relationship and the need to make sure the other person desired you for you and not what they thought you could do for them, but….. having reservations about someone because you heard all the town gossip at your place of employment was a bit farfetched. The sentiment appeared to be the arching theme of the story.

Secondary characters were a nice addition. I believe I will invest more time into reading the series, because I would like to know where it all started and how it has evolved.

Frisky but Nothing too Kinky
