Can you get more than one true love in a lifetime?
Three years after his husband’s death, Vitor is still grieving. Too young to be alone and too old to start again, he feels stuck. Accepting a new job in Lisbon is just what he needs, but it also means going back to the city that sealed his fate nearly thirty years ago.
Between looking for his missing brother and running an LGBTQ Youth Center, … brother and running an LGBTQ Youth Center, Tiago doesn’t have time for dating or commitment. When his best friend asks him to find a family member that ran away years ago, Tiago welcomes the distraction.
A past full of secrets.
An anonymous kiss that turns their world upside down.
When past and present clash, will the two men put everything aside and give themselves a chance at happiness? Or are the things keeping them apart stronger than the feelings keeping them together?
Love Again is May-December MM romance with hurt/comfort and second chance themes, lots of steam and a HEA. It can be read as a standalone but will be better enjoyed as part of the Finding You as characters and stories from previous books appear in this story.
Love Again was previously published as Made in Lisbon, under the pen name of Ana Newfolk. While the manuscript received a light edit, no new content has been added.

**I made the mistake of reading this without having read books one and two. I highly recommend reading them before reading this one. I tried discounting the references and continuations from previous books for this review. That left me with a disconnect between characters interacting based on those books. I’m going to do my best with just these two characters and their immediate situation.**
I found it easy to get to know and like Vitor. His backstory is both lovely and painful, and I wanted to hug him close.
Tiago, however, isn’t as much of an open book. His backstory is ugly and harsh, and I felt terrible for all that happened, but I did not become invested in his life as I did with Vitor.
Their sexual chemistry is off the charts, and there are some great spicy scenes.
I was not concerned in the least about the age gap because there was not a lot of concern in the book about the difference. I like that.
These are good characters, and maybe reading books one and two will flesh them out more for me.
I like this author and will read more from her in the future.
Another hit with this series. The stories just get better and better with this author but I really can not pick a favorite because they are all wonderful.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Another great read from Ana! This series is so good and Love Again just ups that. Vitor and Tiago are such a sweet couple, you fall in love with them. I rooted for it to work out for them the whole book. This book made me cry so hard, in a good way, but it also made me laugh and smile. Definitely going to be looking out for book 4! Read this book!!!!
Another fantastic book by Ana Ashley that I couldn’t put down. This book truly pulled me in and I didn’t want to leave. Be prepared to shed a few tears while reading this amazing story!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily gave my honest review.
Ana Ashley has a beautiful way with words. I can picture very clearly her settings and characters vividly and I love that about her books. Especially this series, as part of each book if not the whole book takes place in Portugal and they way she describes each city and town is beautiful. Tiago and Vitor were a second chance romance after randomly meeting at a bar and then finding their way to each other by accidentally sharing Issac’s apartment. We see snippets of David and Joel and Max and Issac, along with Bruno and Filipe and Mario and Teresa who play a larger role as Vitor and Mario are long lost brothers who find each other years later. In the same sense, Tiago has been searching non-stop for years for his brother who ran away at a young age. There are lots of bumps in this twisty road and a lot of miscommunication, but in the end everything works out for a perfect happily ever after.
I so love this series. The stories and characters are so well written. I love tge continuation of the characters from the previous books and how their lives intertwine. I love MM and I love age gap, so this book was a treasure to me. The best thing about these characters is that despite their hurt and pain in their lives, they still have the ability to love, not only in this book, but in the previous as well. Tiago and Vitor fit so naturally well together. I loved watching them grow. I loved Vitor letting go of his past to be with Tiago, but still about to keep Dri. I loved that Tiago was mature enough to accept it and not feel as if he were living in Dri’s shadow. I just loved it all! Ana does such a great job with her books. Can’t wait to read more!
