The Love Means series is one of Andrew Grey’s signature works and a great entry point for readers new to his writing. Set on a family farm owned by Geoff and Eli, the twelve books follow a succession of men who arrive at the farm carrying various burdens and find both a home and a romantic partner. The farm is a place of healing and acceptance, and the rural Pennsylvania setting gives the stories a quiet warmth.
Published between 2009 and 2015, the series spans six years and twelve titles. The early books (Love Means… No Shame, Love Means Courage) establish the farm and its owners, and each subsequent entry brings a new character into the fold. The found-family element is strong throughout, with the farm’s community growing book by book. It remains one of Grey’s most beloved series and a touchstone for his career.
