Do Me a Favor

About This Audiobook

Cathy Yardley’s *Do Me a Favor* is the kind of rom-com that sneaks up on you—warm, witty, and unexpectedly heartfelt. At 48, widowed cookbook author Marissa Dawson is stuck in a rut, her life as regimented as one of her recipes. Enter Levi Reyes, a divorced handyman with a crooked grin and a knack for fixing more than just leaky faucets. Their meet-cute? A kitchen renovation gone hilariously wrong. What unfolds is a story about rediscovering joy when it’s least expected, blending sharp banter with genuine emotional stakes. Yardley’s writing crackles with chemistry, balancing humor and tenderness without tipping into schmaltz. This isn’t your standard meet-and-fall-in-love trope; it’s a celebration of starting over, messy and glorious. The audiobook’s dual narration by Elyse Dinh and Teddy Hamilton elevates the experience. Dinh brings Marissa’s sharp, no-nonsense energy to life with precision, while Hamilton’s velvety voice lends Levi a rugged charm that’s impossible to resist. Their chemistry is palpable, making even the most far-fetched scenarios feel grounded. The production is crisp and immersive, with subtle sound effects that enhance key moments without overpowering the story. If you crave a romance that’s equal parts laugh-out-loud and swoon-worthy, this is your next listen.
