A human rights lawyer with a broken heart thinks she has finally found her perfect match until she discovers they have a shared history of devotion—and deception.

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.
He has to learn that her forgiveness must be earned.
She must find a way to forgive him.

Based on the biblical story of Eve, "When Ivy Met Adam" is a heartwarming contemporary romance that explores love, heartbreak, and second chances. Told from a dual POV, this queer love story features a compelling love triangle, forced proximity, and steamy scenes. If you're a fan of LGBT+ romance or just looking for a page-turner to keep you entertained, you will love "When Ivy Met Adam".

    This book is perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and Emily Henry who are looking for a queer romance. Sweet, funny, and poignant. Adam was the sweetest MC — so dreamy in every iteration. Enjoyable amounts of spice. I read this super fast. Highly recommended!

    This book had me going back and forth on whether I wanted Ivy and Adam together or not. When Adam revealed his “secret” to Ivy my jaw literally dropped. This was a nice change to the normal book I read and will be looking into more books by Jennifer J. Coldwater! Worth the read!

    Coldwater has a unique storytelling style that feels very natural and really pulls the reader in. This book addresses some very important issues with care and grace. I'd give it all the stars for that alone, but it's just a great story, well told, in general! Ivy is very likeable and there was a twist I didn't see coming but it really took the story to the next level. Well done!

    Wow!

    What a cute story simply full of surprises!

    Ivy is a single lawyer looking for a relationship. If she could she’d skip all the dating and go straight to the comfort of having a boyfriend or girlfriend she would.

    Which is why she’s back on a dating site looking for someone to fill that spot. And that’s when she discovers Adam. They hit it off right away but because it’s the holiday season Ivy doesn’t want a boyfriend quite yet so they settle for chatting… a lot.

    While hiding from her family in Hawaii Ivy discovers she’s allergic to pomegranates and I’ve never read a more adorable meet cute! Because you see Adam is a doctor and he’s the one to save her.

    There’s a plot twist after that but I won’t be saying anything about that. Nope! You’re gonna have to read this little gem to discover what happens and believe me, it’s absolutely worth it. Omg! I was shocked, then I laughed before I cried.

    This one is light on steam but it’s heavy on angst, adorable banter, and real life issues that our two MC’s have to maneuver before they can find their HEA.

    I was gifted an audio arc for this book and I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity. This story was absolutely wonderful!

    5.0 out of 5 stars complex yet so startlingly clear
    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024
    This book features a complicated romantic plot, with complex issues beneath -- but the author has a way of using minor details, humorous asides, and clear organization to simplify even the most confusing twists. She manages to penetrate to the heart of a divisive issue, thereby portraying the people involved in a very relatable way, while also not compromising on ensuring that their struggles, loves, and joys are seen *as* human. And atop all of that, it was an enjoyable and memorable read. Truly well written.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I've found the perfect little afternoon delight!!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2023
    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!

    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.

    Do you guys believe in Fate?
    I definitely do!

    We have our beautiful Ivy and she thought she met her love of her life in college but she ended up breaking Ivy’s heart for a reason Ivy didn’t understand or agree with.
    Years pass and she hasn’t been able to find someone who connects with her on the level that her former love did. She agrees to try a dating app much to her sister’s eagerness.
    Here’s come in Adam who checks all the boxes.
    Adam on the other hand knew Ivy since College but never could face her but now that he is the man he’s been working towards, here’s his shot.
    The unexpected happens and these two end up in the same place around the same time unknowingly but not everything is what it seems when Adam slips up information that only Ivy knows. Will this burn up in flames or will it make them stronger than ever?

    Love love LOVE this book! Written beautifully! Fate has a way of showing up and bringing these two together. It’s a bit of an emotional journey for both of these MC’s. They definitely have a strong connection that’s hard to just simply forget. Come on a discovery about self love, forgiveness and learning to trust again.
    Loving this series and I’m so excited to see what’s next! 🤍

    A really enjoyable read, thanks. A little saucy, a little spicy, and fun and well-written.

    This book is the second one by Jennifer Coldwater that I have read and it sucked me right in, as did the first. I really enjoyed it.

    Coldwater writes smoothly, in this fun, quirky, conversational style. She's light and quick, with these sidebar comments that will have you laughing out loud.

    There is some sex, some swearing and it manages to be spicy, not shocking. The writing is deftly done, even the twist that took me completely by surprise (in a good way, not a cheap way).

    The twist in this book was fabulous and it gave me a real insight into a world I do not know enough about, so I am delighted I came along for the ride.

    The story reads like a romcom, however, the book started a little slow for me. But, the twists really pulled it back.

    Thank you Jennifer for writing such a deep, insightful romance.
