• "WHEN IVY MET ADAM was my book club’s most recent choice—and arguably our best one yet. Coldwater excels at wordplay, and within pages her writing style had already caught me. 'Hook, line, sinker. Reel. The whole boat.' The novel is a unique twist on the classic love-triangle trope. It unfolds from alternating points of view of the two main characters, Ivy and Adam. As you might imagine, the two don’t always see eye to eye, which leads to some comedic misunderstandings, but there is a lot more to this story than that. I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I'll just say the author faces heavy issues head on, but also with wit and wisdom. In doing so, she has written a novel that is at once both timely and timeless. When Ivy Met Adam should be on every thoughtful reader’s 'must read' list. Five big stars!"

    —Goodreads review by Emlynn McDermott, author of Two Truths

  • "I loved all the characters in this book! The two main characters are Kai & Holland. Their chemistry is on point. They share lots of the same goals, interests, and family background. Kai was beyond PERFECTION! One thing I loved about Holland was her assertiveness & her being a smarty pants! She also has the love of the best mother-in-law, Naomi. I enjoyed reading about their loving relationship. Every good story needs supporting & hilarious friends right? Ximena & Micah are totally it! They need their own story! Hopefully together (wink! wink!)"

  • "First of all let me say that the text exchanges in this book sound just like real people - real words - real advice - not forced - genuine and I loved that. Actually it is all so real - people you could put a face to. I also like that tough lgbtq+ issues are addressed but in a way that makes it easier to talk about and more tangible…. 'the world makes it tough for people like us…' and of course just enough spice to keep the pages turning."

    —Review of HOLLAND, MY HEART by S.F. Henne, author of The Lunar Order Chronicles

  • "HOLLAND, MY HEART is a modern romance whose characters drip with sex appeal and good humor. It is by turns full of fun and heart-rending. In her debut novel, Jennifer J. Coldwater delivers a classic romance sprinkled with the deep love of the friends we choose to make our family."

    — Arlys Avery, author of Kissing Owen Darcy

  • "I love this book so much. The misunderstandings, the slow burn, the shared dreams, and the building of a beautiful relationship and several friendships were all wonderful. Usually I don't like a burn this slow, but it totally works for these two."

    — 5⭐ review of HOLLAND, MY HEART by J.C. Bryer on Amazon

  • "Be prepared: HOLLAND, MY HEART is one of those reads that makes you HOPE to get stuck in lines and for your flight to be delayed just so you can read a few more pages. Loved the characters and dialogue. They felt like friends I didn’t want to say goodbye to at the end of the book. Definitely recommend for a fun read."

    — 5⭐ review by K. Kemble on Amazon

  • "This is a fun realistic story filled with plots and twists. I love that the author portrayed them as an intellectual power couple despite the age difference. I finished the book in one day."

    — 5⭐ review of HOLLAND, MY HEART by Vine Voice reviewer Tonie on Amazon

  • "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."

    — 5⭐ review of HOLLAND, MY HEART by J.B. Penrose

  • "This is emotionally honest, sexy, funny, and very readable stuff, and if you want to imagine yourself being wooed very slowly and ardently by someone who resembles The Rock but (thank God) is *not* an actor, read this book."

    — 5⭐ review of HOLLAND, MY HEART by Edith D.

  • "Coldwater creates flesh and blood characters with whom you can relate to. While reading the book, you would want to befriend Holland, Kai, Naomi, Ximena, Micah, and all the others."

    — Review of HOLLAND, MY HEART by Kajori Sheryl Paul on The Chrysalis BREW Project

  • "I find myself re-reading the Book of Ruth as I read Holland, something I haven’t done for many years, 'solving' of a puzzle of how Holland echoes 'Ruth' and re-seeing the Biblical text at the same time!"

    — 5⭐ review of HOLLAND, MY HEART by Julia Grody

  • "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)."
