My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Chris’s first real assignment is protecting Pavle, a survivor whose safe houses are no longer secure. When Chris brings him home, an unexpected bond forms as Pavle slowly heals and Chris grows deeply attached. But the men hunting Pavle are closing in, and even if Chris can keep him safe, he fears losing him if Pavle eventually returns home.
A heartfelt and emotional story, this book beautifully shows Pavle adjusting to a new world of freedom in a far more progressive country than the one he grew up in. Watching him navigate that shift l)with Chris guarding him, guiding him, and gently educating him) was incredibly moving. Chris’s Nanna was a standout character for me; her ability to speak Pavle’s language and comfort him added such warmth and humanity to the story. I loved how determined Chris was to stay professional and to reinforce that Pavle had full control over his own life — that he didn’t owe Chris anything for food, clothing, or safety. Their growing connection felt powerful and genuine, and the emotions throughout were easy to feel and understand. A touching story that highlights both the best and worst of human behaviour, full of heartfelt moments and deep feeling. This was an MM story with mature content.
