About this listen

A young single dad. An older man. An impossible love story.

I have an inconceivable crush. Then again, my life is already full of dreams, so what harm can one more do?

My mother always told me to watch out for the break in the clouds.
I never thought that would come in the form of the sexy, older, and kind primary school teacher who’s currently living rent free in my head with no intention of moving out.

How can I survive Ellis when he takes an interest in my community, takes an interest in my daughter, and the way he looks at me…I think he may be taking an interest in me, too.

Having dreams is one thing.
Believing they can come true is…daring to hope that for once I may get the happily ever after I’ve longed for.

Breakthrough is book two in Ana Ashley’s series, Dads of Stillwater. This story contains an age gap, a sweet nine-month-old baby everyone will coo about, all the feels, and Ana Ashley’s usual happy ever after.

Trigger warning: This book contains mentions of drug use, violence, and suicide.

Gratifying

I really enjoyed the audio. I feel it added reality to the story. John Solo did an excellent job of narrating this story. His ability to make the listening so pleasing that it’s no wonder he has his own following. This is an age gap, low angst story. Milo has lost all those close to him except for his daughter Sara. Milo quit school before he earned his high school diploma and so jobs are not high paying. He has trouble making ends meet. Luckily he has a neighbor Florrie that steps in and helps with child care while Milo works.
Milo has a crush on a customer that he serves, Ellis, but figures he is way out of his league. Events keep happening that cause Milo and Ellis to be at the same place and gives them a chance to get to know each other.
There are other circumstances that cause Milo and Ellis to be much more concerned with things other than their relationship. There are issues surrounding Ellis. Milo has concerns that affect Sara. I found this story full of hope.

Milo & Ellis

I adore Milo and his attitude. I feel like he's someone I know. Ellis is older than him and trying not go get involved in another relationship, much less with a younger man. Sara is adorable. Great narration.

Tear jerker

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this series. Pretty slow paced. It grew on me pretty quickly. These books have all the feels, laughter and tears. Hope there will be another one.

I loved everything about this book!

We’re back in Stillwater, the absolutely-not-sleepy little town I am already in love with! I adored Ellis and Milo, and cute little Sara is so precious!!! I love age gaps and here we have a significant one ( 16 years!) but I love how their relationship is on equal footing. I appreciated that both men are mature enough to talk things through, even the difficult ones, thus avoiding unnecessary drama and stress!

Fun, Sweet Entertainment

We are delighted again with Ana Ashley’s ability to create a charming small town of fun, lovable characters. Well, minus that one lady. But every town needs a villain, right? Maybe not, but they’ve all got one! I love getting to see familiar faces and hear familiar names and I was not disappointed with this story. We caught a glimpse of Ellis’ and Milo’s dynamics in the previous book, but if you haven’t read it you won’t be lost. It really was just a glimpse of everyone BUT them seeing how they circled around each other while they carried on obliviously. If you’ve read the author’s books before you know she gives little teasers at the end of the previous story. They are meant to get you curious but not to be something that is necessary to read if you happen to start the series with this book.

These characters will pull at your heartstrings. If you’re looking for an easy to listen to audio, with low-angst, and a sweet romance, then this is one I’d recommend. You can start with this one or from the beginning. It’s a preference thing, and everyone is different. It ends in a HEA and the storyline is contained to this book.

a heartwarming story

Breakthrough is Book 2 in the Dads of Stillwater series. I loved this beautifully written story about Milo and Ellis. These two men have tragic pasts and seem to dance around each other when it comes to their feeling because they don't want to burden the other with their baggage. But it turns out they are just who the other needs. I love the part where Ellis will only go to Milo's register when he's working. Though there is an age difference between Milo and Ellis, they have such a wonderful connection and deserve their happy ending. This is a heartwarming story with all this feels and I definitely recommend it. 
Narrator John Solo does an amazing job. He continues to be one of my favorite narrators. You can tell he enjoys what he does.

Beautiful Listen!

I just love listening to Ellis and Milo's story! All the emotions in this story just made me love it even more. I just love these two. Then John Solo does the narration and I just can't help but love it even more. He brings so much life to this story that I couldn't stop listening. Absolutely amazing!

I really enjoyed it

This was a sweet relatively low angst read. Milo is struggling to raise his 9 mth old baby girl and works at a grocery store. His manager is a tool. Ellis is a school teacher who is extremely attracted to the sexy, shy cashier. Milo has a crush on the sexy school teacher & feels that he is way out of his league. When Milo gets a notification that his rent is going up and he's not getting more hours at the store, he answers a want ad to do some gardening work. Needless to say he is shocked to see that Ellis is the person that answers that ad. I loved watching these two growing as friends and then slowly letting their walls fall & growing into lovers. I loved the secondary characters as well. Even though this is book two in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
