Dara Rosenberg returns as the voice of Jewish New York for the author's third romance novel, this one with a focus on kosher law, chronic pelvic pain, and generational trauma. Avital Cohen's illness has forced her into a life of managing her family's kosher bakery, Best Babka, in Brooklyn. When Ethan is hired, it seems her life will become a little easier at last. But Ethan was sent by his tyrannical grandfather to steal the bakery's world-famous pumpkin spice babka recipe. Rosenberg's performance as kvetching Moshe Lippmann, the crotchety grandfather, is a highlight of the audiobook. She also makes Avital sound believably withdrawn when she's working through pain and schmaltzy when she's falling for her new employee. S.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
"An unflinchingly honest romance." -Kirkus, starred review
From the author of THE MATZAH BALL and MR. PERFECT ON PAPER comes this hilarious and emotional rivals-to-lovers romance.
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.
