Sequel to Hide Your Love Away (If I Fell Series, book 2)
Timmy and Cole’s angsty love story continues…
Last year, in Timmy Hale’s junior year at Edgewater University, he set his romantic sights on Colton “Cole” Ledger—a burly and sometimes over-protective dormitory maintenance man. Cole soon had it bad for sleek and snarky Timmy too, and—despite a bumpy road (a frenzied stalker and an uncooperative son)—before year’s end they’d found love. Now, in Timmy’s senior year, the couple has left the dormitory behind. Cole is back to running his own custom construction company, and they’ve turned an antique Victorian home into a love nest. For a while, life is good.
But insta-love comes at a cost, and for Timmy and Cole it’s steep. Cole’s doubts haunt him: he’s almost certain he’s too old for Timmy, and that he’s pushing him into a life he’ll eventually resent, keeping him from spreading his newfound wings and taking flight toward his best future. Acting on his fears, Cole pressures Timmy to accept an internship in Manhattan—far from the home they’ve built together. He means well, but Timmy feels like a baby bird kicked out of the nest too soon.
Tensions rise until fear, resentment, and desire draw Timmy and Cole into explosive conflict. When the dust settles, will Timmy wing away like a young blackbird, or return to nest with Cole in their happy garden home?
For maximum enjoyment, Blackbird is best read after Hide Your Love Away.
Stay tuned for Book 3 in the IF I FELL Series, Come Together, coming in January, 2022.

My Rating - 4 Stars!
We met Timmy and Cole in Hide Your Love Away. We saw them fall in love and we saw Cole help mend Timmy's pain.
But in this follow up, Cole pushes Timmy out of his comfort zone and sends him off to NYC for an internship.
And this is where the Gah reaction comes in.
It's so tough to see Cole's son push Timmy in the directions he thinks Timmy should go. Let's just say I wanted to punch him.

Ultimately, in this part of their journey, Cole has pushed Timmy out of the nest like a bird who needs to spread his wings. It's a long and hard journey for these two. It's hard to read and had me so mad at everyone. I just wanted these men to open their eyes and realize what's going on.
Blackbird is a good addition to the If I Fell Series. This Mia Kerick tale isn't for those looking for a light read. But in the end, these men are witness to how much better off they are together than apart.
