Breakthrough by Ana Ashley
4.0

Milo is just surviving. The struggle of raising his 9 month old baby Sara whilst only working a part time job and coming from the wrong side of town makes it difficult to pay rent and have money to feed himself. No matter what life has thrown him, and there’s a lot, he does his best to remain optimistic and look for the sunshine between the dark clouds.
Ellis is a school teacher who always goes through Milo’s checkout at the grocery store. He’s older and has no plans for another relationship ever again after being deeply hurt by an ex.

These two wonderful men find themselves attracted to each other and slowly but surely they get to know each other. They both have internal struggles but finally give in to the chemistry between them and as the heat levels rise their connection deepens.
Some low angst occurs as Ellis questions the age gap and Milo questions his own worth. There’s also some external angst to contend with but nothing derails their well deserved HEA.

I enjoyed the engaging plot and there’s a great cast of main and secondary characters to keep things interesting and entertaining. I look forward to the next in the series.
