Title: Gouda Friends

Author: Cathy Yardley

Genre: RomCom

Rating/Review: ☕☕☕☕☕ ( 5cups for this friends to lovers romance that will fill you up with cheesy puns and a whole lot of gooey romantic gestures!)


There are a lot of good rom coms out there that explores that overly used but never get tired of friends to lovers trope.  Gouda Friends by Cathy Yardley is one of them however there is something extra special about this book that made me not want to put it down.  Gouda Friends is set in Ponto Beach and is also the second book of the series Ponto Beach Friends.  And yes it's about a group of friends who's seriously catching up after high school.  I liked the first book and so decided to list up to review Gouda Friends.  As luck would have it I really liked it.  I especially love the fact that the two main protagonists, Tam and Josh, are really super duper BFF, the kind that would not ask if you want them to bury a body!  And so for them to go further into the romantic realm becomes really tricky, both for the author and her characters.  Ms. Yardley has successfully navigated and given us a worthy love story.  I love Tam and Josh, however, I also loved how for Tam she was given the freedom to find out what she wanted in life and Josh finding the balance of supporting her without overwhelming her with his need to basically give her everything.  Gouda Friends is a must read for those who loves a great friends to lovers romance!



About Gouda Friends:

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.

The Secret Star by K.C. Finn

It was just another day for 35-year-old-turning-36-tomorrow Jeffrey Mercier, when he woke up on his flat in London in 1969. He went on with his usual routine, going to work for his boring job at Harlan and Locke. It did seem to be an ordinary day, until a young woman told him that he's gonna die in ten minutes if he won't go out of the building. Of course he didn't believe her, yet he found himself outside the building ten minutes later, the building blown up. He was saved again from a stampede by the same young woman whom he met ten minutes ago, introducing herself as Marie-Elizabeth Giraud. Marie was tasked to save Jeff from death and take him to the Time Agency, where he's going to be inducted as a time agent. Later that day, Jeffrey Mercier's life as Mister Mercy begins.

Blog Hop Giveaway:Switched by Cassie Mae

Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the
