Laura Brown | Author-Reader Match: MATZAH BALL SURPRISE

bookbubgoodreadstwitterfacebookamazon

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Laura Brown!

Writes:

Laura writes romances featuring characters with hearing loss, ranging from New Adult, to Contemporary, to Romantic Comedies. Matzah Ball Surprise is her first romantic comedy, featuring a fake date for Passover!

About:

A self-professed introvert, Laura becomes outgoing in quiet environments. She loves to read, and all things cats, and like many parents will enjoy child-free time, but may also talk about her son! Willingness to repeat is a must, as Laura’s hearing loss selectively misses words without her permission. Knowledge of ASL a bonus!

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

*Desire to learn ASL

*Willingness to try matzah

*Enjoys the fake date/only one bed trope

*Ogles the gym buffs with Gaby (heroine)

*Enjoys dogs with a penchant for mischief

What to expect if we're compatible:

*Fulfilling HEA

*Heroes who stumble over their emotions.

*Lots of little hearing loss references

*Supportive yet overwhelming families

*Food as foreplay

MATZAH BALL SURPRISE by Laura Brown

Matzah Ball Surprise

This Passover is starting to feel like the ten plagues might be coming back to haunt them before the weekend is over. . . one hilarious misstep after the next.

Gaby Fineberg just wants to get through Passover Seder without her “well meaning” family playing matchmaker. She needs a date, just for one simple meal--that includes singing, the history of her forefathers, and not one bit of yeast. The hot guy at her gym would be perfect. He probably hates bread, anyway, with a body like that. But when she finally works up the nerve to ask him. . . he doesn’t hear a word she said.

Levi Miller is deaf and happily single. Initially, he doesn’t know why this beautiful woman is talking to him, but it’s clear she needs help--and suddenly so does he. In a very complicated situation, Levi finds a simple solution. Gaby will pretend to be his new girlfriend to bail him out, and he’ll return the favor. But he didn’t bargain for a family dinner quite like this one. . .
