From the author of one of my favorite romances, Role Playing, comes another quirky, over 40, rom-com!
This gentle romance is fun and sweet, with just the right amount of spice.

Willa is a widowed 46 year old former cookbook writer trying to find herself.
Hudson is a divorced 41 year old father of two, and a handyman with big dreams of being a Restoration expert.
They meet when Willa finds Hudson's dog Noodle in her garage during a particularly bad rainstorm on an otherwise idyllic Island in the PNW. It turns out they're neighbors! Willa inquired her great aunt's house on the island, and it needs a little fixing up. Enter Hudson the handy man. Turns out having him around also helps Willa get into the mood with her latest cookbook assignment for a cooking influencer known for his sexy recipes.

Tropes: Slow burn, found family, small town, dual POV, later-in-life romance, single dad, forced proximity 

While nothing tops Role Playing for me, Do Me a Favor did not disappoint! Willa and Hudson find each other while finding themselves, and it's adorable. They each completely nerd out about their own obsessions, which is utterly relatable. (For Willa, it's food. For Hudson, it's clocks) I loved all the side characters as well, and would definitely read another novel set in this community! 
 The only thing that kinda fell flat for me was Willa's husband's death, which happens off page but is referenced quite a lot. Oh, and sometimes Hudson says something that seems completely out of the blue since the reader knows but it wasn't apparent that he did yet, but fairly minor quibbles. All in all, a fun light-hearted read! 

Thanks to Netgalley, Montlake, and the author for the eARC! Be sure to check this one out next month!
