ARC Review: Stolen Hearts by A.B. Jackson

Publication Date: June 1, 2026

Alexander and Christopher’s relationship continues in full motion in Stolen Hearts! The thing about writing a review for book two of a trilogy is that I absolutely don’t want to spoil anything, but reading Stolen Moments and getting the backstory between these two was amazing. Stolen Hearts is such a great continuation of this story and the romance between Alexander and Christopher is intriguing at every turn of this book. 

One of my favorite things about this book was seeing Alexander and Christopher interact in such different settings and ways from the first book. They’re pushed to grow so much as individuals and as a pairing in this story. It wasn’t always easy for either of them, but I was always rooting for them to stand up for themselves and to be their truest versions regardless of their circumstances. 

A.B. Jackson writes an honest, raw, and emotional portrayal of Alexander’s personal struggles with addiction. The dynamic that unfolds within this relationship for Alexander and Christopher is complex and deeply personal. The highs and the lows were very real, and I appreciated the care with which these topics were approached! 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
