Gouda Friends (Ponto Beach Reunion #2)
by Cathy Yardley
What is it about:
Two high school BFFs reunite and endeavor to fix each other’s lives in this geeky romance from the author of Love, Comment, Subscribe.
Tam Doan dumped her boyfriend after he threw away her gourmet cheese. Sure, it’s a little more complicated than that, but the point is, he had it coming. Newly single and unemployed, Tam calls up her best friend from high school and utters the emergency code word—goldfish. Next thing she knows, she’s on a plane back home.
Josh O’Malley was a troubled, unconfident teenager. Now he’s the successful owner of a multimillion-dollar ghost kitchen. Tam, his high school BFF and fellow member of the Nerd Herd friend group, was instrumental in building his self-esteem. When she calls him out of the blue, he jumps at the chance to return the favor.
Josh and Tam immediately get to work fixing her life—but again, it’s complicated. Their close friendship was always a lifeline between them; a blooming romance might confuse things. Still, at least one thing is for certain: their chemistry is un-brie-lievable.
What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
First: that title totally doesn't work if you know how Gouda is supposed to be pronounced.
Other than that, this is a nice enough Romance.
There's a lot of cheese, nice secondary characters, and a believable obstacle to stop these two from getting their Happily Ever After right away.
Still I was missing something. Maybe I'm not one for Friends to Lovers, because the attraction between these two felt a bit tame. Still the story was entertaining enough to keep reading.
This book is the second in a series, but I didn't feel like missing out. It seems each book has a different main couple. I don't think I'll pick up other books in the series though as this group of friends didn't really tempt me to get to know them better.
Why should you read it:
It's a nice Contemporary Romance.
