DISCLAIMER

Home Again, Love Again and Complete Again were previously published under the title Made in Portugal, Made in Lisbon and Made in Paris, respectively, and the pen name of Ana Newfolk. While the manuscripts received a light edit, the stories themselves haven't changed.

Together Again was previously published as two separate books. A short story under the title Made in New York, followed by a novel titled Made in Manhattan, both under the pen name of Ana Newfolk. Both stories have been joined into one. While the manuscript received a light edit, and an additional chapter has been added to link both books, the story itself hasn’t changed.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Ana Ashley's Finding You: The Complete Box Set is a fabulous collection of novels. I previously reviewed most of these stories when they were released under other names. 

Overall, you can't go wrong with this collection. Every book is absolutely amazing and I am thrilled to re-read them.

It's not everyday that I find a book like Home Again that makes me want to tell everyone to read it right away! I am so damn impressed with this book by Ana Ashley.

From the very beginning, I knew this book was going to be special. 

Joel and David are everything you want in a M/M Romance. After growing up as best friends, they are reunited and what follows just warms the heart.  

This book contains so much sentiment, so much romance, and an overabundance of love. The trip the two set out on is so damn wonderful, and when they are together physically, the chemistry is off the charts.

The overall journey for these two is so powerful. David had spent his life in the closet, fearing the repercussions if his aunt and uncle ever find out he's gay. His reasons for this are sound, but his constant public rejection of Joel is devastating. 

The lessons in this tale are fantastic. There is a big difference between living with caution versus embracing your true self and fully living. Sometime you need to return home to find your true self, and it is ok to do so.

And one of the most special things about this book is that Ana manages to feature the deceased parents as some of the most important people in the story. She does so in a creative and emotional way that is astounding.

Want a romantic preview? '"I love you so much I'm not even sure how all the particles in my body remain in one place when you're not around."'

Home Again is as romantic as it can get. Ana Ashley has far exceeded any expectations I had going into this book, and I can't wait to see what she writes next!

Ana Ashley's Together Again is a fantastic, fun romance. 

Isaac and Max are amazingly sweet and romantic together. They both found their "person" and have to navigate the fact that they live far apart from one another. 

They do fall in love quickly, but it's written in a tender and romantic way, and their distance makes for an emotional ride. My favorite part is their day spent exploring, NYC, especially the Bryant Park scene. Of course, their scene when they part is tough to read. 

Then the author picks up this multi-layered tale after Max and Isaac fail in their efforts to stay together long distance. 

Their feelings for each other haven't changed. Rather, they tried to make their relationship work, but they fell victim to misunderstandings and are now living with regrets.

We are witness to them reuniting and moving forward with their relationship. Max and Isaac are so amazing together, as Alex truly breathes life into Max. What they have is super special and not to be taken for granted. 

Ana Ashley has once again managed to capture my heart. The storyline is wonderful, and includes a riveting teenager storyline as well. There are some twists and turns that are entertaining, and the writing style is captivating. 

And I have to say I love the LGBT center and I absolutely adore Bruno. Bruno's story is heartbreaking and full of emotions. And the LGBT center is a wonderful venture.

Personally, I am enamored by the long distance dilemma, as it's such a emotional issue that I find  completely relatable. 

Together Again is a fantastic and entertaining story full of love, frustrations, and some steamy moments. It has broken hearts, love, and enlightenment. You'll also find homophobia and off-page abuse.

Love Again is  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 Ashley's writing style. The writing is strong, the pace is perfect, and the storylines are fantastic and full of emotion.

I absolutely love Love Again and couldn't put it down. Like the rest of this series, Ana Ashley 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.
