~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Benjamin
Cohen, widowed father of six-year-old Jessie, is doing his best to hold it
together through order and routine. The last thing he needs is his matchmaker
mother to set him up with her next door neighbor, no matter how attractive she
is.
Rachel Schaecter's
dream of becoming a foster mother is right within her grasp, until her
meddlesome neighbor tries to set her up with her handsome son. What's worse?
He's the father of her favorite kindergarten student! She can't afford to let
anything come between her and her dream, no matter how gorgeous he may be.
Can these two
determined people trust in the miracle of Hanukkah to let love and light into
their lives?

EXCERPT:
Six-year-old bodies were good at many things— bouncing, hugging, and racing. Rachel was thankful they were also good at hiding her surprise. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine her favorite student, and her student’s father, would be at her neighbor’s house the same night she was invited to celebrate Hanukkah.
She met the hard gaze of Jessie’s father across the room. Eyes narrowed as if he suspected her reasons for being here. His broad shoulders were stiff. His jean-clad muscular legs were spread apart in a solid stance. Square hands fisted at his sides, and one of them held a menorah. Did he plan to throw it or club someone with it?
Giving Jessie a last pat, she rose. With an arm around Jessie, she extended her other hand to her father. “Happy Hanukkah.”
“Ms. Schaecter.” “Mr. Cohen.” “Oh, please,” Harriet said, “Such formality between you two. Rachel, this is my son Benny. I mean Benjamin.”
Benny. Rachel filed the information away for later, along with his flushed skin at the nickname. Interesting.
“And Benjamin, this is my neighbor, Rachel. We’re not at a school event. You can call each other by your first names.” Harriet pointed at Jessie, who gripped Rachel’s hand so hard, Rachel’s fingers lost their circulation. “Except for you,” Harriet added. “You have to call her Ms. Schaecter.”
Jessie giggled. “Yes, Grandma.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Jennifer started telling herself stories as a little girl when she couldn’t fall asleep at night. Pretty soon, her head was filled with these stories and the characters that populated them. Even as an adult, she thinks about the characters and stories at night before she falls asleep or walking the dog. Eventually, she started writing them down. Her favorite stories to write are those with smart, sassy, independent heroines; handsome, strong and slightly vulnerable heroes; and her stories always end with happily ever after.
In the real world, she’s the mother of two amazing daughters and wife of one of the smartest men she knows. She believes humor is the only way to get through the day and does not believe in sharing her chocolate.
She writes contemporary romance, some of which are mainstream and some of which involve Jewish characters. She’s published with The Wild Rose Press and all her books are available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

My Review
Jennifer Wilck’s Waiting for a Miracle is a delightful little novella. I really enjoyed this story. Rachel and Benjamin were great characters to get to know. I thought they had chemistry right from the start. It is a little predictable but that is okay it is still a story I would not have wanted to miss.
I am giving Waiting for a Miracle four and a half stars. I highly recommend this book for readers who enjoy a sweet and heartwarming romance.
Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteIt has been great hearing about your book and although I am not the reader myself, my 2 sisters and 2 daughters are. They love hearing about the genre's they like and me helping them get to find books they will enjoy. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I can't wait to check this one out!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a terrific read.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover. The colors are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpt
ReplyDeleteI used to sing to myself to fall asleep faster. I understand needing to soothe yourself as a child. I bet her stories are awesome if she has been able to keep the same imagination she had back then!
