A Hanukkah Romance

The Dreidl Disaster by Stacey Agdern

December 3, 2024 by Emmalita 2 Comments

At this time of year, it can be easy to forget that there are holidays other than Christmas. I’m at best, an agnostic and I’ve had several Christmas centered romances on my kindle without trying. No shade to those books, I liked them. But I did reach out to Stacey Agdern and ask if I could get an arc of her forthcoming Hanukkah romance, The Dreidel Disaster. I enjoyed it. It’s a romance for grownups, in a responding to problems way, not in a sexy […]

They are targeting trans kids and their families, threatening to charge adults who support their non-binary and trans kids with child abuse. But this review isn’t about those goons. This review is about the four people who make up HEAs for Trans Kids and the authors who donated their books to raise money to support trans […]

Not all Holidays are Christmas

Love All Year: A Holidays Anthology by Elizabeth Kahn

November 22, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I loved this anthology of holiday romance novellas.  I knew I would. When Elizabeth announced she was putting together an anthology of romances centered around non-Christian holidays, I knew she would put out a thoughtful and entertaining book. I’m hoping this will be the first of many Love All Year anthologies. All of the stories were lovely, each in their own way. I wasn’t ready for any of them to be done when I reached the end. For the most part, the stories were about […]
