Double Feature Spotlight and Giveaway: Two Jewish Rom-Coms!

It's still Jewish Heritage Month and we have two exciting new Jewish rom-coms to share with you today: Soon by You by Dahlia Adler and Summer Husband by Amy Lorowitz! Melissa loved Soon by You (reviewed here) and will be adding Summer Husband to her five-book pile very soon. Thanks to St. Martin's Press and BookSparks, we have one set of books to share with a lucky reader!

Arielle Becker is one hora away from a meltdown. After one too many bridesmaid gigs—complete with Spanx, heels, and hideous dresses—she’s officially over love and its overpriced trappings. Especially when they keep coming with the same smug, judgmental wedding singer.

Judah Klein is New York’s go-to Modern Orthodox wedding singer and most eligible bachelor. Years of failed setups have left him jaded, until repeated clashes with a fiery bridesmaid wake him right up. But when snarks turn to sparks, and fights turn to feelings, things get complicated.

Arielle is not a girl who settles down. And Judah is not a guy who hooks up. So why does walking away feel impossible? (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

"Real, honest, hilarious, and steamy, this book has it all!" 
—Sara Goodman Confino, bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write

"An unputdownable love story that left me kicking my feet with glee." 
—Lindsay Hameroff, author of Never Planned on You

“Dahlia Adler delivers a romance that celebrates complexity, defies stereotypes, and ends in a swoon-worthy, heartwarming finale.” 
—Jean Meltzer, internationally bestselling author of The Matzah Ball

Is thirty-nine too old to get your first sleepaway camp kiss?

Lori Kramer, a stay-at-home mom, would go to any length to give her two daughters the summer experience of their lives—even getting a job at their camp and tagging along with them.

At Camp Woodlands, Lori finds herself overseeing the chaos of four bunks filled with rambunctious kids and their counselors, not to mention having to outwit her boss and outrun a bear—and that’s just during the first half of the summer! But those escapades are child’s play compared to her growing friendship and attraction to Teddy, the camp’s British soccer coach. Their clandestine meetings late at night behind the laundry shack, breaking the no-smoking rule, soon turn hot and steamy like a lazy August afternoon.

Camp may be for kids, but Lori’s the one having the most fun. She never imagined that stepping outside of her conventional, underappreciated, New York City existence would turn her world upside down and change her life forever. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

"Summer Husband is a warm, hopeful story of friendship, love and rediscovery. "
—Nicola Harrison, author of The Island Club

“Bunk in with Summer Husband, an engaging first novel about an engrossing second chance.”
—Marilyn Simon Rothstein, author of Who Loves You Best

"Feminist, flirty, and fun! Summer Husband is a coming-of-middle age delight." 
—Meredith Schorr, author of RoomMating

Amy Lorowitz is a lifelong New Yorker. She grew up in Brooklyn, attended University at SUNY Binghamton, and ultimately made her home in Manhattan with her husband and two daughters, only leaving New York for a three-year stint living in Tokyo, Japan. Summer Husband is her debut novel.
