My Personal Review for Unconditional Love by Andrew Grey

When I saw Andrew Grey did another Seven Days story, I knew I was in for the ride of my life. I got to admit, this one had me the moment I opened the first page. Get ready to experience what Unconditional Love is.

My Rating for Unconditional Love-5 Stars and a Recommended Read

Buy it in E-book & Print at Dreamspinner Press

Seven days….a person’s life can change in a blink of an eye so why not in seven? For Donald ‘Donny’ Pottier and Jason ‘jay’ Greene, finding one another when they were just kids and a love for crabbing leads them to a friendship that spanned years and a love that renewed itself each summer when Jason came back to Chincoteague Island, Virginia, for the summer. But when that love is torn from them both, each will find the strength to go on even as their blossoming love holds patiently in their hearts for the right time to come out again. Pain, loss, sickness and more define these two in the eleven years where they miraculously find one another but by next daylight; it’s lost as fate leads them on a journey that makes them from boys to men, learning as they grow up, go to college and find out what life has in store for them.  

Andrew Grey is an exquisite storyteller, one so that he is automatically one I buy in E-book & in Print. I think I have a shelf devoted just to his print books alone. His writing is one that stirs the senses, makes you lose yourself in his words and fall in love-just a bit-with characters that are as vulnerable as we are. In his follow up to Seven Days, we find ourselves meeting two young men who find a friendship one summer and a love for crabbing. With each summer, these two people-Jason and Donny-find themselves eager for one another, to letting their friendship bloom into something more that these two yearn to be together though always mindful of others. Fate is a cruel thing and life can toss curve balls no person can anticipate and it is no exception in Unconditional Love as these two find themselves torn apart, lost as they were found. Life gives everyone roads you think you don't deserve, or feel you need to follow....what happens is choices are made and in this book, both  make choices-right or wrong-to follow whatever path life has for them. Andrew Grey delivers a story that leaves you breathless with each page you turn as you join Jason and Donny on their life path, when they find themselves in college dealing with term papers and finals, to finding the right job, to a loss of a beloved family member that breaks your heart and a strong determination to finally let your heart take that one last leap when you find your other half again only to lose it yet again. 

Unconditional Love is more than two people finding one another. It's about the life they have to travel to finally finding that they are meant to be with one another. Everyone has a soul mate or so it is said in some books, out there int he world but what makes a man isn't just what is in his heart but what he does with his life as well. This is an author who makes his readers think, feel and fall in love with his characters and find their own special someone to say those three precious words to. 

With the right amount of laughter and tears to heartbreak and joy, Andrew Grey delivers another soul-stirring story to be lost in and to enjoy. I highly recommend you keep a few boxes of Kleenex on hand-you will need them. This is a story of friendship, of love, of loss and of hope. It's about how two people let love go in order to get it back-stronger and harder to break. This is what Unconditional Love is all about....and I can attest, you won't want to put it down in the end as well. 

Andrew Grey delivers one of his best works to date and one that will lead you on a journey alongside Donald and Jason as you find out what Unconditional Love is all about.

Can a person’s life change in just one day? How about seven?

This is the story of seven pivotal days in Evan Donaldson’s life. Evan was a teenage street hustler when Father Valentin talked him into coming to Saint Bartholomew’s Academy. In that one day, Evan’s entire life changed. That’s the day he met his roommate, Clay Mueller, and the day Evan began to live. But Evan’s life would change again and again, from abuse to first love, to separation and heartbreak, and eventually to starting his own family. Through it all, whenever a door closed for Evan, a window opened, and the window was Clay.

From the first day of finding faith and connecting with Clay through their relationship’s twists and turns, this is a glimpse into seven decisive days and the critical, amazing way a single moment can change destiny.
