Synopsis:
Four friends. Four college grads. Four people figuring out that life doesn’t always turn out the way you expected.
Brielle Reyes may not have post-college life planned out like some of her friends do, but she figures she’ll work for her mother’s home cleaning service while job hunting for something that makes use of her history and philosophy degrees. It’ll work out as long as she doesn’t fall in love. Her last relationship was a disaster and she has no idea where she’ll be in a few weeks, let alone the rest of her life. Since the only guy in her age range she sees now on a regular basis is cantankerous if handsome client Archer Ward, she probably won’t have a hard time sticking to that vow. Probably.
Archer Ward likes very few things: illustrating as a somewhat-celebrated comic artist and his privacy. When his meddling mother hires him a cleaning service on an almost daily basis because she doesn’t fully trust her son to live on his own with his disability, he’s at first annoyed—even if his house cleaner is the most beautiful woman he’s ever spent more than a few minutes with. When he realizes her dreams may take her far outside of his restricted orbit, he has to decide whether to stifle his interest in her or risk messing up her plans to explore if there’s something more between them.
Neither can deny they’re growing a little fond of each other, even if falling in love just now makes no sense whatsoever. But how often does love ever make perfect sense?

Review:
A sweet and cute romance!
Touch of Fondness was a unique, sweet and well-written story. This story will capture your attention from the very beginning. Joy Penny did a good job of pulling at several of your emotions. It gives you all the ooohs and aahhs that you like in a good romance. This was a very thought provoking story with lots to learn from all the characters. The characters are relatable while showing us that there is a special someone for every one even when you least expect it to happen. The author did a good job, in my opinion, of depicting the difficulties and struggles that can come with having a disability. I enjoyed this delightful read immensely.
Susan Marlowe did a good job with the narration. She had a clear and crisp voice that was easy to follow. The voice did not fit for the age of the characters however for me that did not take away from the listening experience. The narrator kept a good pace at reading therefore the story did not feel like it was being rushed or dragging.
This is the first book that I have read by Joy Penny and will not be my last. I recommend Touch of Fondness to anyone that enjoys reading a sweet heartwarming romance that is unique with the happy-ending that we enjoy.
