Description

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.

About the Author

Cathy Yardley is an award-winning author of romance, chick lit, and urban fantasy. She has sold over 1.2 million books with publishers like St. Martin's Press, Avon, and Harlequin Books. She writes fun, geeky, and diverse characters who believe that underdogs can make good and that 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 for Creative Anachronism; she's spent New Year's on a three-day solitary vision quest in the Mojave Desert; and 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 about any of said adventures and riding herd on her two dogs (and one husband).

Reviews

"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

"Yardley's prose is summery and light--you'll get swept up as Tam and Josh breezily fall right back into place as the lovably cheesy duo known as Jam. A mouthwatering romance." --Kirkus Reviews

"Addicting." --Harlequin Junkie, Top Pick (4.5 stars)

"This friends-into-lovers with just a slight touch of fauxmance-turned-unexpected-romance was a delight--and the inevitable cheesy lines and even cheesier jokes just added to the fun!...Josh and Tam--and their entire Nerd Herd--are geeky and nerdy in all the best ways, but now they are adults doing their best at adulting and still relying on the friends who have seen them through EVERYTHING in their lives." --Reading Reality (5 stars)

"Watching these two lovable goofs side-step their feelings for each other even as they give into their growing sexual attraction was so fun to watch." --SmexyBooks (Grade: A)
