"...how do you go on when the world is so scary? When in a single moment, it can all disappear?"
Orlando is tasked with raising his two younger brothers after their parent's death, but in the wake of a devastating breakup, he's crawled into himself and can't seem to pull out of it. Until his brother, Gino makes a massive mistake and brings Stefan to his door. Stefan might just be the light at the end of the tunnel for Orlando.
I love these quick novellas from Tayse because they pack a whole lot of punch in a quick and easy read. I love that the two were on some shaky ground, but that the motives are what shined through. Stefan is a driving force of motivation for Orlando, and I think the two are going to be excellent for each other in the long run. Nicely done!

I loved Stefan and Orlando
Short, sweet and stuffed full of life’s loses, lessons and experiences. Cyan Tayse’s boys are just gorgeous and show us what unconditional love looks like, and how the offering up of a second chance can change the trajectory of a young man’s life and that of his family.
I adored this short and sweet story of Orlando and Stefan, and, my only regret is that I would’ve love to have seen more of them. What I can say, is that their story fits perfectly into a lunch break, or any short space of time that you want to be squeezing some reading into! Very well worth the time and money. 4 Stars.
