When Ivy Met Adam

By: Jennifer J. Coldwater

Narrated by: CJ Bloom

Ivy Gardiner wants to find true love like she had with her college girlfriend—devastating, rare, complete—but without risking her heart again.

Adam Lopez watched Ivy go through all of that, but was in no place to be the man she needed back then—or any time in the decade since.

When the two match on a dating app, Adam knows it’s fate and Ivy thinks it’s...um, possible? Just when she begins to open her heart to someone new, Ivy learns of their shared history. Adam’s devotion to her—and deception of her—break her heart all over again. She has to learn to forgive him. He has to learn that her forgiveness must be earned.

Loosely based on the biblical story of Eve, When Ivy Met Adam is a heartwarming contemporary romance that explores love, heartbreak, and second chances. Narrated by the incomparable C.J. Bloom and produced by Blue Nose Audio, this queer love story features a compelling love triangle, forced proximity, and plenty of steamy scenes.

4.5 stars

Listened to the audiobook! What a great performance by CJ Bloom!! I loved how she depicted both characters so easily. It was also very easy to differentiate between the two. I didn't expect the plot twist at all. It was done so well. Great surprise! I enjoyed the writing style. I loved the queer representation and loved how the story was a little emotional too. Overall, I enjoyed this one.

LGBTQ holiday tease& twists

Disclaimer, this book was given to me for review. I give this review freely.The perfect holiday listen with twists and dating apps.

A Wonderful LGBTQ+ Story

Thank you to Jennifer J. Coldwater for sending me a copy of this audiobook in exchange for a review. I really enjoyed the representation within this story. It was definitely a short read that didn't overstay its welcome. I do wish that the miscommunication was not there, but it was done well for what it's worth. I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a book with LGBTQ+ rep, and representation with second chance, wrong time, right person, and finding love through dating apps tropes.

I've found the perfect little afternoon delight!!

While I am one of the few who adores a good love triangle When Ivy Met Adam is a whole new take on a love triangle. Talk about a plot twist!!

Jennifer J. Coldwater told a story so beautifully enriched in the queer community that my heart was equal parts weepy and happy throughout this entire book.

There was not one thing I didn't love about Ivy from her quirkiness and sass even down to her love for her work and helping queer youth. And Adam, gah my heart is forever his. The love he had for Ivy from the very beginning was constant even when it didn't seem like it.

And their road to love, however bumpy was heartfelt and healing not only for them but for the reader as well. Coldwater told a story of not only finding love but of finding yourself even when it seems impossible.

CJ Bloom did a fantastic job with narration across the board!! While I am always going to be a sucker for duet/dual narration her vocal talents truly showcased Ivy and Adam individually.

Looking forward to seeing what Jennifer J. Coldwater comes out with in the future because this is one of her first books and she has no place else to go but up!
