About this listen
Cathy Yardley, author of Role Playing, serves up a delectable rom-com about a widowed cookbook writer and a divorced handyman who find that it’s never too late for a fresh start.
Willa Lieu-Endicott moved from California to the Pacific Northwest to start over. Since her husband’s death, she’s been struggling to get back her old career as a cookbook ghostwriter. Unfortunately, her latest project—ghostwriting for a viral cooking sensation known more for his washboard abs than his meals—has her stuck.
Until she meets her new neighbor.
Hudson Clark, the handyman next door, lives on a farm with his parents and two adult children. He’s the opposite of everything she’s ever known. His happily chaotic life includes biker barbecues, an escape artist dog, and adorably menacing goats. He’s also got a sinfully sexy smile and a rumbling bass voice that makes her shiver. He inspires her.
From their first meeting, the two fall into an escalating cycle of favors, paybacks…and attraction, even though Willa’s trying to keep her distance.
They both have their own pasts to deal with. Now, they just have to figure out if they have a future.

Cadence "Cady" Bloomquist knows two things for sure: First, shelving books at her shop, Nevermore Bookstore, totally counts as cardio. Second, staying late every Thursday night to take a certain mysterious customer's order is not the same as waiting by the phone for some man. Until the calls with the man who identifies himself only as "Fox" last for hours, and become the highlight of her week. Which leaves her to wonder, if his velvet voice can kindle her fire over the phone, what sort of alchemy might it inspire if they met in person?

Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

Luna Rossi is a veritable crafting genius — she can bedazzle and bead so hard her Etsy site is one of the hottest in the world. So it’s only natural that Luna would convince her brother and his husband-to-be to compete on The Wedding Game, a “do-it-yourself” TV show, for the title of Top DIY Wedding Expert.

Story
Who buys a cottage in a New England fishing village on a whim? A stressed-out, twice-divorced romance writer and single mother looking for a fresh start, that’s who. Despite what my besties say about my three-year dry spell, I’m not looking for a man. Or drama. Or sex. I’ve got enough on my plate with writer’s block and a daughter who refuses to grow up. Community. That’s what I need. So why are all these random men suddenly drawn to me? Is there a shortage of women in Chatemup, Massachusetts?

Being a firefighter isn’t easy. Especially for a Black woman. Working with family helps a little. But when somebody from your company doesn’t come back from a call, it’s brutal—as in, “How’m I supposed to go on?” brutal. And one death took me to a really dark place. A year later, I’m at the Pirates’ hockey training facility. Just another day on the job. Until I find a charred journal. I look inside for the owner’s name, but the words on the page punch me in the gut. It’s like reading my own thoughts. Reliving my own pain.

He's arrogant, and he's definitely not boyfriend material.

New favorite author on the rise
Another delightful read by Cathy Yardley who is quickly becoming a new favorite author for me. I particularly love that she writes about older characters. Her stories lack some of the markers I’m used to in romance— a frustrating lack of communication between the MMC and FMC, a ridiculous third act breakup, epilogues that end with an OTT wedding proposal or the heroine pregnant— and I can’t honestly say that I miss them. I guess that’s what one can expect with mature characters who learn from past mistakes what it takes to EFFECTIVELY cultivate a healthy relationship. WE LOVE TO SEE IT! 🥰

Love that the main characters are adults
I love most romance, genres, but I was so glad to find that the main characters were adults with histories and experiences and not 20 something! Enjoyable characters and relationship development

Real Life, just a little better
I adore Yardley’s characters and the situations are so relatable. It’s still a romance and it still makes you feel good but it’s doesn’t feel like a fantasy. There’s so much more depth to the characters and the situations.

Seemed like a good book
I couldn’t get through the female narrators voice. Her “masculine” character was just a whispered version of her female character voice. And I was having a hard time with her annunciation.

Wonderful couple
Grieving the loss of her husband and struggling to revive her career as a cookbook ghostwriter, Willa seeks a fresh start in the Pacific Northwest. Handyman Hudson, her charming neighbor, lives on a farm with his family and their menagerie of animals. As Willa and Hudson navigate a growing attraction and the wounds of their pasts, they must decide if they have a future together.
Despite its sometimes serious themes, this book mostly has a lighthearted feel. I love that Willa and Hudson are in their forties and still chasing their dreams. They’re smart and likable and a wonderful couple I couldn’t help rooting for. I enjoyed the audiobook narration.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

The narrators bothered me
The male narrator made the sex scene feel weird/creepy to me.
The female narrator’s pronunciation of Italian cuisine was so odd I had to SKIP the entirety of chapter 33.

Charming
This is an utterly charming and sweet romance, with two leads that I rooted for from the very start. Toss in memorable extended family (both by blood and by choice), an adorable dog, and the slow burn of two people who aren’t kids anymore, and it adds up to a thoroughly satisfying story.
Highly recommended for fans of Jennifer Crusie or Molly Harper.

Great characters
The characters were great, likeable and believable. I enjoyed the story and while the characters had things to overcome it was not angst laden.
