Marry Me by Midnight

"This book is fun to describe in list form—a gender-swapped Jewish Regency “Cinderella”!—but it’s even more enthralling to see those magpie elements fused into a dazzling union.”

"Grossman bibbidi-bobbidi-blasts us into a new corner of Victorian England, proving that the best fairy-tales don't need to fit into a box (or even a shoe) but rather defy them. A rating."

"A masterful, original take on a beloved fairytale."

"Historical romance fans should snap [this book] up."

"Inviting and immersive . . . This novel will appeal to readers seeking a steamy historical romance about reputation and representation, with a fresh fairy-tale twist. Recommended for fans of Charis Michaels and Eva Leigh."
 

"Grossman’s choice to set [the book] at a particularly delicate time for the Jewish community in the U.K.—when legislation was being debated that would eventually guarantee Jewish men the same rights as all English men—adds a special poignancy. . . . In this troubled atmosphere, Aaron and Isabelle’s decision to choose love, courage, and kindness over everything else resonates that much louder and feels that much sweeter."

"A captivating setting, a masterful weaving of history and romance, and an utterly besotted hero make this novel a must-read not just of the summer, but of the year."

"A swoony twist on a classic, with a lady lead who wants to seize control of her own happily-ever-after and an unsuspecting but kind-hearted man who adores every part of her."

"A beautiful, and unapologetically Jewish, novel."

"Joyful and essential reading."
