The Nerd Daily, "Swoonworthy 2026 Romance Book Releases You Need"

"Adler, in her first foray into adult romance, adeptly steers her two leads through their complementary journeys, as each learns to let in a variety of intimacy they previously thought inaccessible. The book shines in its depictions of observant Jewish life, presenting Modern Orthodoxy’s integration of tradition, faith, and contemporary existence through an informed and affectionate lens. ... Ari and Judah navigate tensions easily recognizable to any reader, Jewish or not: differing relationships to sex, balancing community expectations with personal desires, the fear of being left behind. A sexy, thoughtful, and thoroughly Jewish romance."―Kirkus

"With funny, heartfelt dialogue, irresistible main characters, and a nuanced depiction of Modern Orthodox Jewish culture, YA author Adler's (Come As You Are) adult debut will resonate with readers."―Library Journal

"With plenty of chemistry, this tender love story follows both Judah and Arielle as they learn who they are and what they want in a rocky yet satisfying courtship."―Booklist

"[A] fresh take on Jewish romance, blending humor, heart, and cultural specificity through the lens of Modern Orthodox Jewish dates, weddings and family expectations."―Hey Alma, "27 Jewish Books We're Looking Forward To in 2026"

"Soon by You is fun, fan-yourself sexy, and full of heart. A fresh and intimate look at confronting the way we see ourselves and the HEAs we think we deserve. The romance is at turns blistering hot and thoughtfully sensitive. Dahlia Adler does an especially wonderful job of bringing to life Ari and Judah's rich and nuanced Jewish community. I can't wait to see what she writes next!"―Rosie Danan, USA Today bestselling author of The Intimacy Experiment

"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

"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
​
"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!"―Heidi Shertok, author of Unorthodox Love
 
"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."―Nicole Tersigni, author of the bestselling Men to Avoid in Art and Life
​
"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
​
 “Steamy, subversive, and beautifully Jewish…  When chemistry collides with tradition, the sparks are anything but kosher! Dahlia Adler delivers a romance that celebrates complexity, defies stereotypes, and ends in a swoon-worthy, heartwarming finale.”―Jean Meltzer, International Bestselling Author of The Matzah Ball
​
"Soon By You is an utterly perfect romance: smart, swoony, and unexpectedly sexy. Ari and Judah are well-drawn, irresistible protagonists who can't seem to get out of their own way. The only thing stronger than their belief that they're wrong for each other is the undeniable chemistry that continuously thrusts them back together, no matter how hard they resist. The result was an unputdownable love story that left me kicking my feet with glee. Soon By You reminds us that true love doesn't abide by checklists, timelines, or the most well-intentioned shidduch dates. The heart wants what the heart wants, and my heart wants anything Dahlia Adler writes."―Lindsay Hameroff, author of Never Planned on You
​
"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
