4.5 of 5 stars~ Review by LeisaFor original review see Prism Book AllianceBecause of Jade is the fifth in Lou Sylvre’s fabulous Vasquez & James series, and I do recommend that you read the earlier books in the series before you enjoy Because of Jade – it’s almost impossible to appreciate the heartache and love that binds Luki and Sonny together without experiencing their shared history.Luki has officially been cancer free for five years, and he and Sonny enjoy a happy and loving life together. A sudden tragedy finds them as guardians of newly orphaned Jade, the little girl who helped save Luki’s life before she was even born. Luki and Sonny have such a special and sexily sweet chemistry and relationship – these two men truly love each other, and have weathered extreme heartache as well as reveled in personal triumph together. This is not a fleeting affair – they are committed to each other and their relationship. Each touch is both familiar and delicious, and they complete each other.I am not always a huge fan of children characters in M/M romance since they sometimes are stereotypical and overly cutesy. However, this isn’t the case with Jade. She is cute – she’s actually adorable – but she’s also a little girl who has suddenly lost both parents and who doesn’t always know how to deal with her feelings of extreme loss. She genuinely loves her Uncle Luki and Uncle Sonny, and her vulnerability alternately mixed with youthful optimism is realistic, hopeful, and heartbreaking. The relationship between the three is so very caring and dear.Because of Jade is filled with angst, heartbreak, and loving commitment. When corruption and bias threaten their new little family, as well as Jade’s personal safety,  Luki and Sonny fight back to save Jade and their collective happiness. Please do not miss reading this special story about two men who are already in a committed and honestly loving relationship, and who welcome a little girl into their hearts and home to form a family worth fighting for – because this story is a treat!
