BLURB:
The rules of dreidel are simple—unless the hot new rabbi your friends have been wanting you to meet turns out to be your childhood crush. Now Zach Kravitz is playing for more than bragging rights as the dreidel champion—he’s playing for his heart.
Hanukkah parties with the Kravitz family were some of Garrett Fitzpatrick’s favorite childhood memories. Now that Garrett has a chance to reconnect with Zach, the quiet, artistic young man he has yearned after for years, he’s ready to put a new spin on an old game. Garrett has eight nights to show Zach the spark between them can turn into a lasting flame that will stay bright long after Hanukkah ends.
REVIEW:
I loved this story! First, I’m a sucker for mutual secret pining. These two had secret crushes on each other for years. Then they fell out of touch. Garrett didn’t want Zach to know about his life changes for reasons.
When they are brought back together by some matchmaking friends, Zach is stunned at the changes that Garrett has made. That Garrett has come out and converted is a complete shock to him. He’s hurt that others knew and didn’t tell him but eventually understands why. He’s reluctant to get into a relationship with Garrett for a number of reasons, but Garrett and other are invested and ask him to give him the benefit of the doubt. They use the holiday as an excuse to rekindle their friendship – and more
I always like a good Hanukkah story – I wish there were more. The guys made a great team. There’s also a bonus of a recipe! This was just a really lovely story that shows how much we all have in common and was a holiday delight! highly recommended especially if you are looking for something other than the “typical” holiday story. Highly recommended.
