Gouda Friends
The follow up to Love, Comment, Subscribe comes the second installment in the Ponto Beach Reunion Series
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.

Advance Praise for Gouda Friends:
“It’s palpable how much Tam and Josh care for each other…Yardley’s fans will gobble up this gentle but steamy romance.” ―Publishers Weekly
My Review:
3 Stars:I feel gouda 'bout giving the second installment in the of the Ponto Beach Reunion Series a solid 3 stars. Friends to lovers – check, cheesy Jokes – check, relatable characters – check. This is a super cute and lighthearted story that many people will resonate with. Cathy Yardley did great on this one.
This time we are following two of the Nerd Herd members, Tam and Josh. Tam is having a bit of a mid-life crisis with hating her job, her boyfriend being a cheating bimbo, and he THREW HER CHEESE AWAY. I know a deal-breaker that we all can't live with. So after her bad day, who does she call… the one guy she can always count on, her high school buddy Josh. The story is super romantic of how these two friends finally come together after years of always being there for each other. It's super cheesy and sure to leave you feeling so full.

AUTHOR
Cathy Yardley is an award-winning author of romance, chick lit, and urban fantasy, who has sold over 1.2 million copies of books for publishers like St. Martin's, Avon, and Harlequin. She writes fun, geeky, and diverse characters who believe that underdogs can make good and sometimes being a little wrong is just right. She likes writing about quirky, crazy adventures, because she's had plenty of her own: she had her own army in the Society of Creative Anachronism; she's spent a New Year's on a 3-day solitary vision quest in the Mojave Desert; she had VIP access to the Viper Room in Los Angeles. Now, she spends her time writing in the wilds of East Seattle, trying to prevent her son from learning the truth of any of said adventures, and riding herd on her two dogs (and one husband.)
