The Intimacy Experiment cover

In The Intimacy Experiment, two unlikely partners explore love and intimacy while navigating personal and professional challenges, leading to unexpected romance.

In The Intimacy Experiment, Naomi Grant is a trailblazer in the sex-positive movement, having co-founded a successful start-up that challenges societal norms. As her venture gains international acclaim, Naomi's ambitions shift from intimate encounters to public speaking, yet she faces a barrier: academia is reluctant to embrace her innovative ideas. Meanwhile, Ethan Cohen, a newly appointed rabbi, grapples with the financial struggles of his synagogue, which is on the brink of closure. With mounting pressure to save his community, Ethan finds himself at a crossroads, needing a creative solution to attract congregants.

Their paths converge when Naomi and Ethan team up to host a seminar series on Modern Intimacy, a project that promises to address both their professional dilemmas. However, as they collaborate, they uncover an unexpected attraction that complicates their partnership. The two are not just facilitators of a new approach to love and relationships; they become participants in their own experiment, testing the very boundaries they seek to define.

The Intimacy Experiment is a humorous and heartfelt exploration of love's complexities, blending elements of romance and self-discovery. As Naomi and Ethan navigate their burgeoning feelings amidst their professional challenges, readers are treated to a story that celebrates vulnerability, connection, and the messy, beautiful essence of intimacy.

I could cry about how much I love Naomi and Ethan. Rosie Danan's writing brims with compassion and wit, and there's a tenderness that runs underneath everything - even when her characters are positive they're not falling for each other. A stunning, subversive romance that made me proud to be Jewish -- Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of The Ex Talk
The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan is effervescent. It is the perfect combination of endearing vulnerability, swoon-worthy romance, and scorching chemistry. Rosie Danan brings us a charming exploration of the intersections of sex, love, faith, and identity in a fiercely feminist novel that will leave you breathless -- Denise Williams, author of How to Fail at Flirting
The Intimacy Experiment delivers on every promise: humour, steam, and an 'unlikely' couple that readers will not only fight for, but admire -- Felcia Grossman, author of Dalliances and Devotion
