   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) shobbs88 | Apr 15, 2020 |  TWO & A HALF STARS--"Love Means...No Limits" is book # 9 in Andrew Grey's Farm series. This is my first time reading a book from this series but not the first time reading work from this author. The books can be read as a standalone but reading in order would be best if your interested in his secondary characters' love lives. Andrew brings his signature syrupy sugary sweetness, updates of past featured couples and low angst. This time the larger issues of conflict for the main characters? Drug abuse, being gay(coming out to one's family) and interracial love. Tyrone works at Laughton Farms and is apparently a fan favorite. His love interest is in a rich, white, drug abuser, Spider aka Bart sent to the farm to straighten and detox. Tyrone is in the closet from his bigoted family. Spider doesn't want to deal with life due to being ashamed of his behavior when on drugs and his harsh family life. Both men deal with their issues and happen to fall in love during this rough period - Andrew Grey style. That being said, Andrew Grey has a following of dedicated fans who gobble his words up. I'm unfortunately not one of them. I have yet to be struck with the Andrew Grey light but I hold out hope that there will be a book of his that will finally resonate with me. This one...just isn't it. Again. I want to be a fan of his and will continue to search for something of his that will make me understand the fan following. But the weird outdated drug references, the stereotypical character names for the African American characters and the preachy speeches...they did not connect with me. It held me back from enjoying the story which has an important message but left me wading through the unrealistic sweetness of it all. Pills as junk? Really? I'm not a drug abuser but um...I know the correct terms. And the odd way the characters spoke at times, their voices were a little out of touch with reality. And the villain? He was the weakest bad guy I've read in a while. He left his victim alone, not ensuring his plan went into effect? Or checking on the results?! *deep breath* Shame on me for expecting some sort of definitiveness out of fluff. If you like fluffy reads with minimal resolution but definite mushy love, do I have a story for you." (  ) SheReadsALot | Jun 20, 2016 | "Spider" , a rich boy gone down the wrong road, trying to escape his hurt with drugs ends up at the Laughton Farms. He meets the "Family" that has taken him in and begins a long road out of his oblivion. There he meets Tyrone, who starts by giving him unconditonal friendship that soon turns into a romance. Coming back to these character's is like going to a Reunion of sorts. Andrew Grey continues to flesh out these roles with love, pride and lots of heart. I live this series and hopes he continues to bring more featuring these wonderful folks. (  ) silversurfer | Jun 10, 2013 | Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
