Holiday Romance

When their mothers meddle at temple, nuclear physicist Rachel finds herself moving in with her ex's little brother, now a hockey player in the big leagues. Except Jake is all grown up now... and he's not about to let this opportunity pass by.

I never thought I would be here in my earlier thirties; single, alone, and about to be homeless. When my mom suggests I move in with the brother of my high school boyfriend, I think she's crazy. And when I find out Jake's a big time hockey player? Forget about it.

He's not the little kid I remember; he's a grown man in a grown man's body. And whew, what a body...

It's only temporary. That's all it can be. A quick fling while I'm trying to get my feet under me.

But when we get snowed in together, I see a different side to him. And it makes me want more.

Jake is offering me more than just a room in his apartment. He's offering me a home... for the holidays, and maybe forever.

As we come across books that are described as having Jewish main characters, we add them to this database. The creators of the Jewish Genre Reading Challenge have not read all (or even most) of the books in this database. We have gathered information from many sources and not all may be accurate. Inclusion of a book in our database does not imply endorsement or approval. There is always the possibility that antisemitism may be present in a book, either written into a character's experience or through malicious or ignorant caricature or stereotypical portrayal of Jewish characters and culture. Please take care of yourselves as you read.

Please let us know if you encounter a book in this database that does not have a Jewish main character, if you have corrections or additions for a book's genre categories, or if you have any other concerns about the inclusion of a particular book in this database.
