Can’t Wait Wednesday #49 – Kissing Kosher

Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the Jill at Breaking the Spine. So let me introduce you my Can’t Wait Wednesday #49 pick! Click on the book’s cover to add it to your Goodreads shelf.

From The Publisher:

Step 1: Get the secret recipe. Step 2: Don’t fall in love…

Avital Cohen isn’t wearing underpants—woefully, for unsexy reasons. Chronic pelvic pain has forced her to sideline her photography dreams and her love life. It’s all she can do to manage her family’s kosher bakery, Best Babka in Brooklyn, without collapsing.

She needs hired help.

And distractingly handsome Ethan Lippmann seems the perfect fit.

Except Ethan isn’t there to work—he’s undercover, at the behest of his ironfisted grandfather. Though Lippmann’s is a household name when it comes to mass-produced kosher baked goods, they don’t have the charm of Avital’s bakery. Or her grandfather’s world-famous pumpkin spice babka recipe.

As they bake side by side, Ethan soon finds himself more interested in Avital than in stealing family secrets, especially as he helps her find the chronic pain relief—and pleasure—she’s been missing.

But perfecting the recipe for romance calls for leaving out the lies…even if coming clean means risking everything.

Why I Can’t Wait to Read Kissing Kosher:

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the author’s previous books I’ve read (Mr.Perfect on Paper , The Matzah Ball) and the synopsis for Kissing Kosher looks just as entertaining! I appreciate that the author writes characters who have chronic illnesses from experience living with her own chronic illness. Moreover, I love books set in bakeries!

Does this book sound like one you’d like to read? Or, have you been lucky enough to have already read it? Let me know in the comments!
