From The Publisher:

Faye Kaplan used to be engaged. She also used to have a successful legal practice. But she much prefers her new life as a potter in Woodstock, New York. The only thing missing is the perfect guy.

Not that she needs one. She’s definitely happy alone.

That is, until she finds her town papered with anti-Semitic flyers after yet another failed singles event at the synagogue. Desperate for comfort, Faye drunkenly turns to the only thing guaranteed to soothe her—pottery. A golem protector is just what her town needs…and adding all the little details to make him her ideal man can’t hurt, right?

When a seriously hot stranger mysteriously turns up the next day, Greg seems too good to be true—if you ignore the fact that Faye hit him with her bike. And that he subsequently lost his memory…

But otherwise, the man checks Every. Single. Box. Causing Faye to wonder if Greg’s sudden and spicy appearance might be anything but a coincidence.

Why I Can’t Wait to Read Magical Meet Cute:

I have enjoyed several books by Jean Meltzer (Kissing Kosher , The Matzah Ball , Mr. Perfect on Paper ) and I appreciate her ability to write humorous, entertaining stories with strong characters. This one sounds a little different from the three other books I’ve read from this author, but I’m confident I will enjoy it.
