Naomi and Ethan will exam the boundaries of dearest in this provocative romance from the author of the ground-breaking debut, The Roommate.

Naomi Grant has built her life effectually going against the grain. After the sex-positive start-upwards she cofounded becomes an international awareness, she wants to extend her educational platform to live lecturing. Unfortunately, despite her long list of qualifications, higher ed won't rent her.

Ethan Cohen has recently received two honors: LA Magazine named him ane of the urban center'southward hottest bachelors and he became rabbi of his own synagogue. Taking a gamble in an endeavour to attract more than millennials to the faith, the executive lath hired Ethan because of his nontraditional background. Unfortunately, his shul is low on both funds and congregants. The board gives him 3 months to turn things effectually or else they'll shut the doors of his synagogue for skilful.

Naomi and Ethan join forces to host a buzzy seminar series on Modern Intimacy, the perfect solution to their bug--until they discover a new one--their growing allure to each other. They've built the syllabus for love's latest experiment, but neither of them expected they'd exist the ones putting information technology to the test.

I actually enjoyed The Roommate and liked Naomi's character in there so I was really looking forwards to jumping into my ARC of The Intimacy Experiment.

Naomi Grant is Josh from The Roommate'due south ex-girlfriend. When we first run into her, I wasn't a fan. I thought she was a bossy brat only the more I read The Roommate, the more she grew on me. You could tell that at that place was a lot more than to Naomi Grant than met the eye, so I was thrilled that she got her ain happy ending because I wasn't wrong. Naomi Grant was a fantastic heroine who completely won me over…and her hero, Ethan? Yeah, I desire all of his smoke. He was the perfect hero for Naomi and I never really looked at rabbi's or fifty-fifty thought of a romance novel hero who was a rabbi just Ethan was all that and a bag of chips and I loved him to pieces.

Honestly, I was wary going into this book because I wasn't that interested in a romance well-nigh a rabbi and an ex-porn star simply I'thousand glad that I read it anyway because I really liked it. I call back I enjoyed it a smidge more than than I did The Roommate and I adored Josh and Clara so that was a flake of surprise. Rosie Danan has cemented herself on my radar. I will definitely be reading more of her stuff. She'due south got a cracking writing fashion that is like shooting fish in a barrel to follow and y'all can tell that she works difficult in her word choices because she took an unconventional romance novel couple and fabricated them but work.

I really loved the way that she handled the heavy topics brought up. It was honest and refreshing and I loved information technology so much. I loved that Ethan knew how he felt about Naomi and didn't shy away from them. I loved how patient he was and simply how he loved Naomi. Naomi was no slouch either. I freaking loved her. She was strong and she was smart and seeing her struggle with her religion had me thinking about my own faith. Rosie Danan did such a swell job of making me sit upward and take notice of the stuff that I haven't given thought to and I'm glad that she did considering information technology made me connect with Ethan and Naomi all the more.

At that place's a lot to love most this volume and if Rosie Danan is on your TBR list, choice up her books. Read them. I promise you'll like it. This one was a skilful one for sure.
