A review by _isabel_
Limitless by Kate Hawthorne

lighthearted medium-paced

2.5

Well, this was kinda cute at times, but I mainly skimmed. A bummer, since I was hoping Andy's story would win me over unexpectedly like Brad's did, but no joy.
I don't think I'm a fan of the we-met-on-holiday trope; the long-distance, and the forced separation it entails, always frustrates me (and bores me quite a bit too: too much sight-seeing, not enough plot).
I wasn't a big fan of either protagonists: Andy remains a huge mystery, and Leonidas was the male book version of the manic pixie dream girl (my most despised character stereotype ever), and I also couldn't relate to either one of them. You're both rich, you're traveling around the globe, you're not working, you have big, healthy loving families...how am I supposed to relate to them being all moody and restless, and being dicks to their respective families, just for the vibes? *shakes head* 

Anyway.
I probably should have skipped this, but I wanted to see more of the Motel brothers' and their group interactions. There isn't a huge amount of that unfortunately, but we do get a few memorable scenes with them: as always Cherry Creek's wacky and extremely queer population stole my heart, and I'm already dreading the day I'll be done with this series.

I didn't love this, but I do love this series, and I love Kate Hawthorne's way with words (and with kink!)
