Love Conquers All

One of the things that struck me about Gets No Love is its portrayal of strong black love. The title, notwithstanding, love is demonstrated throughout this fast-paced pageturner at varying degrees. All too often we hear about black men walking all over their women. Rarely does one find a story written about a black man who, in spite of past mistakes, recognizes the value of having love in his life, at any cost. Eric demonstrates with intense realism, the true meaning of friendship in his portrayal of the relationship between Lance and AK; men who love each other like brothers. Lance is also a man's man, who will do what must be done to be with the love of his life, Valerie. Seems like such a simple concept, yet Eric weaves a tale that brings the past head-on with the present, sometimes violently so. Gets No Love is not without action, humor, drama, and eroticism, all the things we've come to love and expect from the talented Mr. Pete. However, it is quite refreshing to see through all of that and get to the heart of the matter: love can conquer all and Eric gets a lot of love for this one. A fabulous read!
