Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love: 7 Days Series #2
By Andrew Grey
In this series, Andrew Grey is proving that just 7 days out of a person’s life, sometimes those days are years apart, can change a person’s life course and set them on a different path.
In this one we have Donald Pettier and Jason Greene, two more unlikely friends you couldn’t find. Donald Pettier is from the Chincoteague Islands in Virginia. Jason is one of the summer visitors. They meet when Jason saves Donald from the town bullies. Donald teaches Jason the art of crabbing, and his mother fixes them crab cakes. Then Jason teaches Donald about video games, and they share their first kiss.
The next summer gave Donald and Jason two life changing days, then it was five years before they saw each other and their life’s were set on a different course. Through this Donald had loved Jason through the anger, and feelings of betrayal, Jason had always remained his first love, and he Jason’s.
Five years later, Donald is at the oncologists, he had cancer, and his doctor’s new intern was Jason. They had a beautiful night and made a commitment. When Donald awoke, Jason was gone… and he didn’t have his number. Three weeks passed and he hadn’t heard from him. He mentioned it at his next appointment only to find out that Jason had responded to an emergency beep and got into an accident. He had been in the hospital in a coma for three weeks. When Donald reached the hospital, Jason had woken up, but he couldn’t remember anything. Slowly through the day, Donald showed him bits of their life together, and Jason started to remember until finally it had all come back.
A year later all of Donald’s chemo treatments were over and they were back on the Island again. Seven life changing days over half a lifetime that shows how love endures and changes as people change and adapt. A beautiful story that wrapped me up in warmth and kept me moving from one chapter to another, I had to know what happened! Mr. Grey you have done it again. Taken us on a journey that it takes time to recover from; a rollercoaster of highs and lows, love and hate, anger and forgiveness the whole gambit of human emotions. You get to knows these people so well that you cry for them, laugh with them, cheer them on and hope against hope for that happy ever after that Mr. Grey never fails to give us, but keeps us guessing about in this one. Another five star rating for you, a must read for anyone that loves tales of love and how people interact. Unconditional Love shows itself in so many ways in this book between so many people, a true joy to read.

Andrew Grey has done it again! Yep, it’s thanks to his newly released Unconditional Love that I sat in front of my computer and cried, laughed, rooted for, and wanted to strangle characters that have pounced onto digital and paper today! I don’t normally need a box of tissues to read a M/M story, but Andrew seems to have me single-handedly supporting Kleenex, lol.
Unconditional Love is the story of Donald and Jason, two boys whose hearts are lost and the journey they travel to find each other despite separation and years.
The way Jay (Jason) touches and influences Don’s (Donald) life is touching and powerful.
The experiences and pain each man faces is beyond what many could imagine. Cancer, amnesia, prejudice, and personal conviction all work against a love that is meant to bring these two together. Can Don and Jay overcome everything in their way to happiness or will seven days not be enough?
Unconditional Love is an beautiful, emotional yet sweet and endearing story of two boys who learn to love and the men they become learning how to live and love together. As always with Andrew’s books, I devoured it in one sitting – yes I was up ‘till 4 AM again, ;) I can not praise Unconditional Love or Andrew Grey enough for this book! Simply wonderful!
