Summary

Naomi and Ethan will test the boundaries of love in this provocative romance from the author of the ground-breaking debut， The Roommate。

Naomi Grant has built her life around going against the grain。 After the sex-positive start-up she cofounded becomes an international sensation， she wants to extend her educational platform to live lecturing。 Unfortunately， despite her long list of qualifications， higher ed won't hire her。

Ethan Cohen has recently received two honors: LA Mag named him one of the city's hottest bachelors and he became rabbi of his own synagogue。 Taking a gamble in an effort to attract more millennials to the faith， the executive board hired Ethan because of his nontraditional background。 Unfortunately， his shul is low on both funds and congregants。 The board gives him three months to turn things around or else they'll close the doors of his synagogue for good。

Naomi and Ethan join forces to host a buzzy seminar series on Modern Intimacy， the perfect solution to their problems--until they discover a new one--their growing attraction to each other。 They've built the syllabus for love's latest experiment， but neither of them expected they'd be the ones putting it to the test。

I liked this one so much better than The Roommate （I didn’t like that one very much）。 I was nervous going in but it exceeded my expectations。 It was so much more than I anticipated， its messaging cleverly packaged。You don’t need to read the first to read this one。 I recommend picking this one up！side note: less 🔥 than The Roommate， but more substance behind the characters。

Nelly Heiman ，

This one was disappointing after the Roommate。 Much too much focus on religion and not enough smut。

While THE ROOMMATE stormed in 🍆 slapping， THE INTIMACY PROJECT walked in with a cup of coffee ready to chat。 Pick your poison， that is all。

I really love this series。 And the audiobooks are great。 I hope Rosie Danan writes many books down the road because she is a new go to author for me。 We met Naomi Grant in the first book， and I remember how annoying I thought she was。 Well， I now love her。 As a previous sex worker， Naomi wants people to take her seriously。 She's used to preparing to be let down。 So when the opportunity arises to teach at a Synagogue about sex intimacy she jumps on it。 Especially when the ever attractive Ethan is I really love this series。 And the audiobooks are great。 I hope Rosie Danan writes many books down the road because she is a new go to author for me。 We met Naomi Grant in the first book， and I remember how annoying I thought she was。 Well， I now love her。 As a previous sex worker， Naomi wants people to take her seriously。 She's used to preparing to be let down。 So when the opportunity arises to teach at a Synagogue about sex intimacy she jumps on it。 Especially when the ever attractive Ethan is the Cohen is the Rabbi， the two fight of chemistry because a relationship between them both just wouldn't work。 Would it？The chemistry is fire with these two。 The sex is steamy too。 Highly， highly recommend this series。。。and reading The Roommate first， if you haven't read that one yet。 。。。more

WARNINGThis book was。。。。 average for me and I'm a little disappointed。 I blame a lot of it on the fact that I had high expectations due to how much I loved "The Roommate"。 If I'm being honest， I probably would have enjoyed this one a lot better if I hadn't read "The Roommate" and had no background knowledge of Naomi。 To me， this book started out very strong and promising but strayed from the character groundwork that had been laid out for Naomi in "The Roommate" which is why I'm disappointed。 It does get 3 stars though because the first 30% of the book was so good。 Let's get down to the nitty-gritty！What I loved:-Ethan is such an interesting character， and I fell in love with him the moment we're introduced to him。 I adore how adorable he is and the contrast he is against Naomi。 -The slow burn of this book is slowwwww and I honestly really enjoyed it during the first half of the book。 -Getting inside of Naomi's head was so interesting and I loved getting to see her calculate her decisions。 -The contrast between Naomi and Ethan was the most compelling aspect of this book and I loved how quick it was able to suck me in。 -All of the seminar scenes were great for me （except for the high school one）！-Naomi overall is a character who speaks to me and I love how we get to see just how guarded she is of herself and her feelings。 What I didn't love:-We are told Naomi is a very sexual， high libido individual but they don't kiss until 50% in and they don't have sex until about the 70% mark。 This wouldn't be a problem as she is respecting Ethan's boundaries， but outside of the kissing scene and the one sex scene， we get none of the sexuality of Naomi that we were promised。 She doesn't even masturbate thinking about Ethan which to me feels like a missed opportunity。 if we hadn't had the background of her character （and that threesome between her， Josh， and Clara which honestly is more steamy than the entirety of this book） I wouldn't be so upset about it but because of it， I feel like I'm missing out on things I was promised。 Not only that but she describes how dirty all of her thoughts are about him and I honestly felt like their final coming together was very tame and vanilla。 The hottest scene in the book doesn't even involve her but Ethan after they watched one of her videos which doesn't feel right considering what we know about Naomi。 -their communication and intimacy was lacking for me for being a book centered around those two things。 I mean， Naomi is doing a seminar over intimacy， and yet within their relationship， it's lacking！-I honestly would have loved to see Ethan get unraveled even more。 -There were a lot of scenes that didn't feel necessary and were overall distracting from the main point。 The entire high school scene felt uncomfortable and out of place and is the one that sticks out to me。 -There were some motives that made me feel icky， such as the reason why she originally got into sex work。 -I wanted a little more of the pushback we were expecting with a porn star and a rabbi dating and I didn't feel like we got those conflicts。 -There are a few other things that bother me but I don't want this review to just be me complaining so I'll end it on how I wasn't a fan of the last-minute breakup/get back together。 It didn't feel suitable for their relationship and it felt like it was thrown in there just to have a conflict （even though Ethan quitting was conflict enough for me and could have been an interesting topic of stress within their relationship instead of the breakup occurring）。 Overall， for me， this was a very meh book。 There were missed opportunities that I felt knocked this one down a few pegs for me。 I suggest for people who are reading it to consider reading this one before "The Roommate" and to see if that changes your first impression of the book。 I've seen around that Berkley has issues with neglecting their sophomore books so I will be reading the next in the series， just with different expectations after getting disappointed with this one。 Don't let me dissuade you from reading！ Even if it wasn't the best for me， it might be for you！ I always like to say that every book has its fans and there's no reason why you shouldn't at least give it a go！*I received this ARC through NetGalley and voluntarily read this book。 my thoughts and opinions are my own。 Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for giving me the chance to read an advanced copy！* 。。。more

Fan-fucking-tastic oh my gosh。 I don’t usually tab books outside of books I reread but there were so many great things happening， I had to do it。 My favorite quote in the whole book is “Ethan thought for a moment。 “Okay。 How about this？ I’m a man，” he said， each syllable calm and clearly articulated， “and I’m going to fuck you。”” I’m like yes please 😂 loved it。 This will for sure be a 5 star read for me。 If you’re curious why it’s not now， it’s because I save 5 stars for books I love so much tha Fan-fucking-tastic oh my gosh。 I don’t usually tab books outside of books I reread but there were so many great things happening， I had to do it。 My favorite quote in the whole book is “Ethan thought for a moment。 “Okay。 How about this？ I’m a man，” he said， each syllable calm and clearly articulated， “and I’m going to fuck you。”” I’m like yes please 😂 loved it。 This will for sure be a 5 star read for me。 If you’re curious why it’s not now， it’s because I save 5 stars for books I love so much that I reread。 I’ll definitely reread this one。 。。。more

"I'm starting to think all those years of emotional depravation just made me hungrier。"This book is completely addicting and intoxicating。 The writing is so fluid and it's really hard to stop reading it。 The chapters are short and witty and the character's voices are really interesting and relatable。 Both the main characters are very interesting and have very strong personalities。 They have so much chemistry from the first time they talk to each other and the hurdles they face in their relations "I'm starting to think all those years of emotional depravation just made me hungrier。"This book is completely addicting and intoxicating。 The writing is so fluid and it's really hard to stop reading it。 The chapters are short and witty and the character's voices are really interesting and relatable。 Both the main characters are very interesting and have very strong personalities。 They have so much chemistry from the first time they talk to each other and the hurdles they face in their relationship are very real and believable。 I liked that despite following the regular route for romance novels （get together > get a problem > solve said problem）， the problem was actually something that fit well in the story and made sense for them as a couple。 The solving of the problem was also realistic and made all the sense。"No one really talked about how so much of letting other people in involved listening to yourself。"I love how the characters talk about sex and relationships really openly。 The depiction of Naomi as an ex-sex worker was really interesting and it didn't feel stereotypical。 I loved how she owned herself and didn't feel shame in it， but embraced it and used it to make her be respected。 I also loved seeing her embrace vulnerability and asking for help。Nathan is one of the best male characters I have ever read。 He is so charismatic， his dedication to his community is amazing and I love the devotion he feels for Naomi since the beginning。 He said some of the most swooning things I have ever read in books and it didn't felt like a character reciting his lines， but as a man who knows the right things to say and is completely honest in his feelings。This was a very solid read， without flaws。 。。。more

Lauren ，

I loved every second of this book， I honestly think Naomi is one of the best written romance heroines。This is obviously a romance but I also adored the depth it had beyond that， it conveyed the emotional journey the two characters were going through so well whilst also diving into complex topics of religion and sex。 I just loved loved loved reading this， it gave me all of the feelings。

Ethan is one of Los Angeles's most eligible bachelors， and he's also a freshly minted rabbi with his own synagogue。 Unfortunately for him， he was hired because the synagogue isn't attracting patrons or funds， and if he doesn't get people excited about coming to worship， then it's lights out。 At the same time， Naomi has crafted a sex-positive educational platform that has become a hit around the world， but she wants to gain insights and remain personal by bringing her platform to students in pers Ethan is one of Los Angeles's most eligible bachelors， and he's also a freshly minted rabbi with his own synagogue。 Unfortunately for him， he was hired because the synagogue isn't attracting patrons or funds， and if he doesn't get people excited about coming to worship， then it's lights out。 At the same time， Naomi has crafted a sex-positive educational platform that has become a hit around the world， but she wants to gain insights and remain personal by bringing her platform to students in person。 Unfortunately for her， she can't get educational institutions to entertain her unconventional course as a matter for study。 With both Ethan and Naomi trying to find a path forward， they team up to use his synagogue to host a seminar that she's crafted on Modern Intimacy。 That's when they begin to realize her love lectures are so potent， that the two of them are ready to stay after class to put it to the test。First things first， Naomi started out as a character in Rosie Danan's first book， The Roommate， so if you want more of her back story， you'll （want to） have to check that one out。 Having said that， The Intimacy Experiment works just fine as a story on its own， and it's certainly an interesting premise to find a rabbi and a former adult video entertainment worker thrust together by need， and soon enough， by desire。 What makes this compelling is， of course， the fact that people in Ethan's congregation have things to say about their potential pairing， and he also has his duty and commitment to his faith to think of。 Naomi is doing all of this not for the money， but because it's something that fulfils her。 I appreciated that the story remained faith-positive and sex-positive， and didn't feel like it had to act as if intimacy and faith were unable to become entwined。If you've read The Roommate， you'll know what to expect， because this one does get hot and heavy。 In case it wasn't clear from the premise， this is not a young adult story。 I am a grown woman， and I had to step outside for some fresh air a few times when Ethan and Naomi took all that modern intimacy to a more private place。 These two are beautiful， adorable， and sexy as all get out together， and I wish that more stories would tackle the intersection of faith and sexuality with such frankness and steam。 Come for the seminar， stay for the heat， and hope beyond hope that this rabbi and his modern lady have what it takes to find excitement， intimacy， passion， as well as some commitment and love， before the seminar is through。 The Intimacy Experiment's results are in， and they say you should get intimate with Ethan and Naomi's story now。 Bring a fan and some iced tea along for the ride。Thank you Berkley Publishing Group for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
