Happy book birthday to Do Me a Favor!
Why I read it: I read Role Playing by Cathy Yardley last year and loved it, so I was excited to see and read another book from her. I grabbed this one from NetGalley. (Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy! This is my honest review.)
Review #insixwords: Just a fun small town romance.
More:
Willa is a widower from another state who is trying to find her way after her husband’s death. Hudson is a lifer on the island who happens to live nearby and fix things, like whatever breaks or needs TLC in her house.
Fun and funny times: Willa accidentally eat a “special” cookies, there is an escape artist dog, and goat. Actually, more than one goat!
Feeling time ticking down to when she’ll need some money, Willa takes on a ghostwriting project for a cookbook. Except she’s not really feeling inspired. Except when Hudson is around.
Lots of food and food science talk. Food as a way to show love? Maybe!
Willa and Hudson both have character arcs that take them on an individual journey before their happily ever after, and they’re stronger for it in the end. This resolution of character arcs reminded me a bit of Courtney Milan’s The Devil Comes Courting (a book that I adored)
Recommendation: If you’re looking for fun contemporary romance books with older characters, go pick up a Cathy Yardley book! Between Role Playing and Do Me a Favor, you can’t go wrong.
