Bobby & Thom
Rating: 2.7 ⭐

- Second Chance Romance
- Friends-to-Lovers
- Erotica
- MM Romance

This was a short and cute read with some heat. Bobby and Thom basically dated in college but neither were comfortable with their sexuality yet and in the closet. They disconnected after college but never stopped thinking about each other. Around fifteen years later, they see each other at a red light, stop to speak to each other and reconnect. The POV kept switching back and forth, making this hard to follow at times. Some of the phrasing during their smexy times was not great and kind of bro-ish. The story could use some work to round it out better but the premise and the MC’s are good.

Time For A Second Chance ?

Bobby Wilkerson was heading for the store, singing loudly with the radio he had blaring. With the windows down, he continued to belt out the words as he sat at a red light until someone shouted out his name. His college buddy, Thom, told him to pull into the parking lot so they could chat. He and Thom once had a drunken night together in college and Bobby never forgot. Apparently Thom didn’t either. Thom told him he was working as a civil engineer but just got promoted to manage the others. Bobby told him he was a nurse now since he didn’t like the paper-pushing job his biology degree provided. But it was obvious when the catch-up chat was finished, they didn’t want to go their separate ways. Is it time to try a relationship and find out if their feelings are still as strong as they feel right now? Are they ready to give themselves a second chance to figure it out?

A SECOND CHANCE LOVE!

This was a quick read about two ex college friends who had one unforgettable sexual experience but chose to stay in the closet and ignore their amazing chemistry…

Fifteen years later their paths cross at a robot while driving and this is where two friends who were in love with each other during college but to scared to acknowledge reconnect…

Theo now a divorced father of two and Bobby a health fanatic both out and proud decide to go for a coffee and chat…

This is their sweet, steamy story told from the writers point of view and both the characters with switching in the bedroom and lots of steam!

This was a cute story about two men reconnecting more than a decade after college. The writing was a little stilted, and the POV kept switching back and forth, so it was hard to follow at times. There were also some words and phrases used that I’m not a fan of, personally. I think there are good bones here, but it could use some work.

A great quick read with plenty of steam yet still a sweet storyline about two ex college friends Thom and Bobby who chose to stay in the closet despite their amazing chemistry from a one night sexual encounter. They meet again later in life this time both out and proud and decide to give their "second chance" romance a go to make up for lost time.

Short and Spicy.

I was a little put off by the story being third-person omniscient. I normally like to read in the first person most of the time, but I couldn't pass up a mm romance. 

Insta-love, but these two characters have harbored feelings for each other for years, so it makes sense how fast the spice comes. 

My only other qualm about the story is the reference to a man's bodily parts as manhood; that was a buzz kill.

This was an incredible read. I absolutely loved everything about this story. The chemistry between them was amazing and I was so happy that they found each other again. This was such a feel good story that I will be reading again and again when I need a pick me up. I honestly can't say enough about how much I loved this story. I would definitely recommend this.

It has been years since Bobby and Thom had seen each other and they never talked about that night. But now they have reconnected, the past comes out and the truth uncovers their feels.

This was a sweet and wonderful second chance story as Bobby and Thom found who they are and what they wanted. My heart went out to those that hid e as they are afraid of other, but proud of those who face the truth.

At a stoplight, singing his heart out, Bobby heard someone calling his name. Surprise. It’s Thom from college, who they were best friends but after one night of passion, they never brought up the night again. Divorced with two kids, Thom is being his true self and so is Bobby. Neither man forgot the other. This chance meeting reconnects the two past lovers and shows them that they can have a future.

Thom and Bobby's story was nice but something about the writing was confusing, probably because it wasn't told from the point of view of one of the characters but from above. The sex scenes were fine, but something in the language of the characters didn't work either for me.

This was a decent short story about two men who have not crossed paths since college who get a second chance to see what can be. They had an encounter in college when both were in the closet and now both are out and the attraction is still there.

This was a n enjoyable story of a second chance at love Thom and Bobby were great characters their chemistry was on fire which led to plenty of steamy times, the only thing was at over forty the length and recovery times was a bit unrealistic but apart from that nice second chance story.

Short & Sweet

This isn't a very long story but it still felt like a sweet and complete one to me. It was very entertaining to follow along as Bobby and Thom got a real chance at happiness together.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

This was a short but absolutely delightful book. I long for a situation like these two had at the stoplight, would be magical, right? I am so happy things ended up being wonderful for them, now I am just waiting for my turn at the stoplight! I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did.

The blurb pretty well lays out the background and the two make up for lost time with hot, steamy scenes as they reconnect and reinvent their college days and then some. Short story of rekindling lost love.

Bobby and Thom run into each other, they haven't seen each other since college. When they were in college they got drunk one night and had a one night stand but never talked about it. They both had regrets about it and think they might have a second chance. I enjoyed this short story.
