Coming Home by Kennedy Ryan
5.0
This novella was a sexy, sophisticated portrayal of two past college friends reconnecting and going after love. Toure’ and Niomi were close friends back in college and whether it was ever mentioned the attraction and emotions for one another were always there. But somehow it never seemed like the right time for either of them to make a move.
Now, nearly 20 years later when they’re both asked to attend Homecoming for an interview they’re given a chance to explore what could’ve been. The chemistry between Toure’ and Niomi was undeniably passionate. After being out of each others lives for so long Toure’ planned to use this as an opportunity to finally say what should’ve been said all those years ago.
This is my 2nd book by Kennedy Ryan and she did not disappoint. My only downside was I wanted more from the characters and I wasn’t ready for it to end. I’m not big on short stories because I always want more but this was golden. It was short, quick, sweet and to the point.
With it being such a short story the author does well wrapping everything up leaving us with a happily ever after. We know how they met, their life in between, and what’s to come in their future. The character development was awesome I even enjoyed the side characters and their input on Toure’ and Niomi’s relationship going further.
I definitely recommend if you have audible and you like Kennedy Ryan to give this a listen. The narrators definitely brought the story to life for me and it ended so well.
Fav Quote: “It doesn’t really matter that he chose to do this here, we started here. He could have chosen any spot in the world as long as it is him and as long as it is me I will always be home.”
