SNik's review:
Third in series (Soho Knights), can be read as a standalone but might be better if read in order. Second chance. Slow burn. Found family. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.
Having met and lost his first and only love at a conversion therapy camp twelve years ago, the last thing Paolo expects is to see Max again. Max has never forgotten Paolo, and now he unexpectedly has a second chance but how can they make it work when they live thousands of miles apart in different countries.
Paolo and Max have a terrible shared history that had a brief bit of light in that they fell in love, and now they are trying to navigate the possibility of love again. Their shared and separate found families are mostly supportive which is important, although I wish there was more time spent with Max and Paolo learning about each other again as they are currently versus the short time they spent together when they were younger. Overall, I am still enjoying this series and the men that come together and are determined to stay together.
Stolen Dream is currently available as an e-book and paperback and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
