Made In Lisbon (Made In #5) by Ana Newfolk








Blurb

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, 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?

Made In Lisbon is May-December MM romance with hurt/comfort themes, lots of steam and a HEA.

Made In Lisbon can be read as a standalone but will be better enjoyed as part of the Made In Series as characters and stories from previous books appear in this story.

Made In Paris - Book 3 (Dorian and Jean-Paul)

Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!


I still remember being blown away by the first book in Ana Newfolk's Made In series, Made In Portugal. Now, with book five, Made In Lisbon, that same feeling exists. 

Made In Lisbon's a wonderful story of second chances. Simply put, it's an amazing read. 

Vitor gets a second chance at love after the death of his ex and an estrangement with his son. His relationship with Tiago is a fun May to December romance. After a hook-up, the way they meet again is entertaining, with a natural friendship developing quickly.  

Vitor's still reeling from the grief and pain of losing his ex husband, as well as the secrets he discovered. This aspect of the story drew me in immediately and held onto my heart throughout. One of my favorite things about this story is the way Vitor naturally falls for Tiago, despite never wanting a new lover.


Their story is one of giving into love and taking a chance. It's a tale of long lost family, exploring the power of family, both the good and the bad. 
There are complications between brothers, and between father and son. 


Full of twists and turns, there are moments you really need to focus to get the full impact of what's happening. 

The writing is beautiful. From her first novel, I have been in love with Anna Newfolk's writing style. The writing is strong, the pace is perfect, and the storylines are fantastic and full of emotion.


I absolutely love Made In Lisbon and couldn't put it down. Like the rest of this series, Ana Newfolk manages to create an memorable and inspiring tale. This is a fantastic age gap romance with just the right amount of angst. It's a superb story of love and romance following pain and hurt from secrets and loss. I highly recommend it and will definitely be re-reading it.
