Soon by You

27 Dresses meets The Intimacy Experiment in this steamy, emotional, opposites-attract rom-com set in New York City's Modern Orthodox community. PRE-ORDER NOW. 
 
-- 
 
Arielle Becker is one hora away from a meltdown. 
 
After one too many bridesmaid gigs—complete with Spanx, heels, and hideous dresses—she’s officially over love and its overpriced trappings. Especially when they keep coming with the same smug, judgmental wedding singer. 
 
Judah Klein is New York's go-to Modern Orthodox wedding singer and most eligible bachelor. 
 
Years of failed setups have left him jaded, until repeated clashes with a fiery bridesmaid wake him right up. But when snarks turn to sparks, things get complicated. . . 
 
Arielle is not a girl who settles down. Judah is not a guy who hooks up. They’ve both given up on romance. 
 
So why does walking away feel impossible?

Praise for Soon by You: 
 
"I came for the sexy opposites-attract romance, stayed for the joyous celebration of Jewish life and community, and fell hard for Judah, Ari, and their journey toward one another but also toward finding themselves. Soon by You somehow manages to be both sizzlingly hot and meltingly sweet at the same time; the only thing I disliked about the book was that it had to end. I can't wait for more hot Jewish romance from Dahlia Adler!" - Amanda Elliot, USA Today bestselling author of Love You a Latke 
 
"Soon By You paints a funny, sexy, emotional portrait of the journey two people take as they learn they are, in fact, in love. There are obstacles, including the matchmaking family and friends that simultaneously bring them together as often as they drive them apart. And in Dahlia Adler's expert hands, romance readers will find themselves enjoying every page, and yet not wanting this epic romance to end. I cannot wait to read more of Dahlia Adler's adult romances." - Stacey Agdern, award-winning author of The B'Nai Mitzvah Mistake 
 
"I was not expecting a modern orthodox romance to suck me in the way Soon By You did. I fell completely head over heels in love with Ari and Judah and now, I’m obsessed. I want eight sequels. Real, honest, hilarious, and steamy, this book has it all!" - Sara Goodman Confino, bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write

Sara Goodman Confino, bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write

Dahlia Adler’s Soon by You is a romance that sets itself apart. Readers are afforded a rare glimpse inside the Orthodox Jewish dating scene in a way that’s both immersive and authentic. But it’s the off-the-charts chemistry between the hero and heroine that makes this story truly shine. A little Pride and Prejudice, a little Fifty Shades of Grey, and a whole lot of Chutzpah!

Steamy, subversive, and beautifully Jewish… Dahlia Adler delivers a romance that celebrates complexity, defies stereotypes, and ends in a swoon-worthy, heartwarming finale.

Jean Meltzer, internationally bestselling author of The Matzah Ball

Warm, funny, smart, and both at times raunchy and heartbreaking (in the best ways), with characters who you want to fight for and with, Soon By You is the perfect love story for the people that continues multitudes.

Felicia Grossman, author of the Once Upon the East End series

Soon by You was a window into the romantic lives of Orthodox Jews. Turns out, it's a lot like romance for anyone else - messy, sexy, heartbreaking, and hilarious - plus Shabbat.

With her heart broken, “Evie” Riley arrives at Camden Academy ready for a new beginning. But her fresh start is stopped in its tracks when she's accidentally placed in an all-boys dorm, with no choice but to stay. 
 
When rumours and gossip about Evie spread like wildfire, she decides the only way to survive is to lean into her questionable new reputation... but she's definitely going to require help. Her grumpy dorm mate Salem Grayson isn't her first choice, but they make a pact: he'll teach her how to be bad, if she teaches him how to be good. 
 
But what happens when their pact turns into something more and Evie has to decide whether to put her thrice-broken heart on the line again…
