Kissing Kosher by Jean Meltzer review


Title: Kissing Kosher

 

Author: Jean Meltzer


Ch: 47


Pg: 400

Genre: Jewish Rom Com


Rating: 5 stars


Publisher: MIRA

In Kissing Kosher Jean Meltzer does it again. She gives a book with Jewish joy and romance and quite frankly we need more books about Jewish joy. This one is her steamiest book to date but it’s still lower on the spice level. But as some who like Aitval suffers from chronic pelvic pain though mine is from endometriosis this romance was right up my alley. Where can I get an Ethan.

Ethan’s not perfect. I mean he ends up in her life because of a lie. But he takes the time to learn in order to make things better for her. Too bad he’s fictional.

Kissing Kosher also gives delicious sounding Kosher baked goods. Rival bakery families what’s not to love. Now this book also includes medical cannabis that might not be for everyone, but it works with the story.

And I just have to say thanks Jean Meltzer for giving me a heroine with pelvic pain in romance and s rom com and a hero who loves her for her.

Mr. Perfect on Paper by Jean Meltzer review

Title:  Mr. Perfect on Paper

Author:  Jean Meltzer

Ch: 42 plus Epilogue

Pg:  399

Genre:  Rom Com Contemporary romance

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Mira

 

Another good book by Jean Meltzer. Mr. Perfect on Paper is more than just a rom com. Darla has a list of the perfect Jewish husband what she didn’t count on was her bubba or grandma sharing on a daytime tv show. Now Chris the anchor has an idea to feature her dates on his show. What follows is is a rom com romp through the high Jewish Holidays.

While the heroine and the author are Jewish t by e reader doesn’t have to be to relate to the characters or at least I didn’t have to be. Because Jean writes heroines and hero’s that everyone can relate to. I especially love that she writes heroines who have either a chorionic illness or condition as I suffer from a chronic condition. And as a reader I didn’t really see that in rom coms till I picked up Jeans books.

 

I also loved Darla’s relationship with her grandma because I also have a close relationship with my grandma especially since losing my mom. Mr. Perfect on Paper also deals with grief and loss perfectly. Slight spoiler alert especially the loss of a parent at different ages and how the grief never really leaves. But you learn how to make it a part of you and still live your life.

Jean weaves all this together to create an awesome story and I look forward to her next one.

 

 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
