Devotion #2
Yearning
Years ago, Cookie Pearson ran off the love of her life, Tommy, because she couldn’t accept his sexuality. She’s learned since then, and after drop-kicking her philandering cad of a boyfriend to the curb, all she wants is a second chance with the one who got away.
But her family’s not so understanding, either of her breakup with their hand-picked suitor, and definitely not of her plans to reunite with Tommy. They’re still mired in the same headspace they’ve been her whole life, determined to bring her down with them. And she’ll be damned if she lets that happen.
That means defending herself, him, and them, something she’s never done before. But if it means a chance of getting—and staying—in Tommy’s arms, it’ll be well worth the inevitable fallout.

3.5 stars / B-/C+ There's a lot to like about this m/f second chance romance with a bi hero but I didn't love it as much as I wanted to.

Cookie found her "perfect" boyfriend with another woman, and dropped him expeditiously, hoping to soothe her bruised ego fast and move on. In walks Tommy, the man she once loved, who she distanced herself from because of her family's ignorance and her own fears about going against them. But Cookie is tired of denying herself what she really wants and vows if Tommy will give her another chance, she'll take it.
This story spoke to me on a deeper level. it was fast paced, and pretty steady. Easy, the way I liked, because Cookie and Tommy were ready to move forward. But it was still an emotional journey. I love the way Cookie grew into herself, the way she found her voice over and over. I love that Tommy was ready to protect, but also ready to let her walk her own path. Tommy was sweet and funny and so very affectionate. You just wanted the best for him, and I was glad Cookie was ready to give it to him. The way they locked in, like puzzle pieces that fit, showed their inevitability, and I was very happy Cookie got out of her own way. She was a quick learner, and I appreciated that. The way they explored passion really pulled me in. I love that Cookie was awkward but still focused on Tommy's satisfaction and how it intertwined with her own. Great story. And it had funny moments too.
