Resumen del Editor

An Art Series novel.

Timothy left home when he was 18 to get away from his reckless mother, but he never stopped visiting his grandfather, who taught him what love was all about. Now that Grampy has passed away, Timothy finds that the old man's legacy is everything Timothy has dreamed of - and more.

Inside the house Timothy loves so much is a cache of coins with historical value...and a mystery, because one of them isn't supposed to exist. In memory of his grandfather, Timothy sets out to make sure that the mystery and the coins are given their due honor. In his quest to keep the government from confiscating his grandfather's legacy, he meets Joiner, whose interest in Timothy is as clear and open as Timothy is guarded. There are things about Timothy's life and his past he doesn't want anyone to know, not even the kind man who is helping him with the complications of legal tender.

Great Story Narrated Beautifully By John Solo

Knowing how wildly popular Andrew Grey is I’ve been looking for a title to start with, and I picked well with Legal Tender. I was in the mood for something sweet and comforting and this one fit the bill perfectly.

I don’t know what I enjoyed more, Grey’s adorable story or the soothing tones of John Solo’s narration.

I wasn’t expecting to learn so much about the history of the Double Eagle coin, or to also get such an interesting legal story, but it just goes to show that Andrew Grey’s reputation as an excellent writer is well deserved.

Since this is the first I’ve read of this series I can attest to the fact these books can be enjoyed out of order. Clearly there are characters from the prior books, but Grey explains their relationships and I didn’t feel like there were gaps or that I was missing anything.

The pace of the story flows beautifully beginning with some charming reminiscences from the main character, Timothy, about his grandfather. Having inherited his grandfather’s estate, Timothy returns to his boyhood home which dredges up all kinds of memories and people from his past.

There are some intense issues dealt with during this novel: child neglect and abuse, rape, drug use, but it is all woven into the story and enhances the plot. The characters are very realistic and I feel the relationships grow at a natural pace. It is wonderful to see Timothy burgeon in confidence with the love and support of his friends. While he has some major obstacles to overcome, I was pleased with the way everything is handled.

I am completely impressed with John Solo’s narration in this book. While I’ve previously enjoyed his snarky performance in romantic comedies, he definitely turns on the charm for this one.

Legal Tender hooked me from the very first scene.

The story is interesting, well written and fast paced, and Solo’s narration is flawless and a perfect match for these characters.

(Now I’m dying to go back and read the stories I’ve missed.) If you want to get your feet wet with author Andrew Grey, or if you’re a life-long fan of his writing, you’ll be thrilled.

The best in the series yet!

If you could sum up Legal Tender in three words, what would they be?

Amazing, Sweet, touching

What was one of the most memorable moments of Legal Tender?

That's a hard one since the whole book is. But I think Timothy and Joiner's first lovemaking.After all Timothy had been through and how sweet and touching Joiner is and gentle you could feel the love without them saying it.

Which character – as performed by John Solo – was your favorite?

Timothy with Joiner a close second. Timothy is so sweet and Joiner is so sexy.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A heartwarming story of keeping a family legacy.

Any additional comments?

Legal Tender is the fourth book in this series but each stands alone fine. I think this is my favorite in this series. I loved all of the characters and the storyline is so touching. It was nice to see Dieter and Gerald again and also Brian. I loved Timothy because he is kind, noble and deserved his legacy. This was a favorite because like the first book Timothy is fighting for a family heirloom that is controversial but he wants it not for the monetary value but because it was his grandad's the only person he felt loved him until he meets Joiner.
If you loved well-developed characters, motorcycle designers, lawyers, a touch of suspense and a beautiful love story with some sweet and hot man-sex you will love this. I highly recommend it!
