💃 Hanukkah Romance Recommendations

The Hanukkah Hook-Up

Nora’s done being the model employee. Why not hook up with a co-worker from another audience at the Hanukkah harbor cruise? Alex is happy that Nora assumes he’s another coworker instead of the man leading the acquisition of her company until they have the best weekend.

Lights, Latkes, and Love

David loves December and all the festivities that come with it, especially his nonprofit that helps underprivileged children. This year he’s teaming up with local retail store manager Hannah to organize a huge holiday party.

Moonlight, Menorahs, and Mistletoe

Dr. Gideon Bowen is Eden’s new landlord and he’s Gideon’s new annoyance. As they get closer, Gideon sees that Eden isn’t the menace she expected. Harlequin is always a good choice!

It Happened On Hanukkah

Jake’s listening to the music his next-door neighbor makes every night when he overhears a family argument. Asher’s interested in dating Jake, but he’s not sure if his dinner invite is only out of pity.

A Homemade Hanukkah

Noah’s typically spends his time working with children as a physical therapist, but today he’s off to a remote mountain cabin to check in on an athlete for a friend. Gideon’s not happy to have company, but it looks like Noah will be overstaying his welcome when an avalanche traps them together.

One Night, Two Holidays

A sweet novella to start hitting your 2025 reading goals with. A snowstorm strands Jack in Chicago when a power outage takes things from bad to worse. He joins forces with his neighbor Nessa to make the most of Hanukkah.
