THE HANUKKAH HOOK-UP
It was only supposed to last for one night.
Work-obsessed Nora Ruben is tired of playing by all the rules. Especially when no one else seems to be. When her boss delivers grim news – at the company “holiday” party, of all places – she’s done being the model employee. At least for one night – the night of the Matzo Baller, her friend’s famed Hanukkah harbor cruise around Manhattan. And if the cute co-worker from the suburban office is along for the ride? All the better.
She has just one condition: no work talk, from sundown to sunrise.
Alex Beckman has never quite found where he fits in his family’s business. And he never wanted to take the lead on a major acquisition, especially of a company he knows nothing about. But when he’s sent to reduce the staff by half – and finds sexy, whip-smart Nora Ruben at the top of the list – he’s determined to dig deeper. It helps that she assumes he’s just a fellow comrade in the cubicles. When Nora invites him to ditch the party for the cruise, this nice Midwestern Jewish boy jumps at the chance…
But when eight hours on a boat turns into an amazing weekend together…firing Nora is the last thing on Alex’s mind. Will their Hanukkah hook-up confirm his worst fears about the future of his family business – or be the beginning of something miraculous?

The Hanukkah Hook-Up
Written By Jessica Topper
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank WNY Author Jessica Topper for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
It is that time of year again where the kiddos go back to school, the weather starts changing, and authors start publishing their holiday books. Jessica Topper is just one of those many authors that has a new holiday book out called The Hanukkah Hookup out. As long as she doesn’t jinx our snow here in Buffalo, NY I told her that I would gladly review it for her.
This book is dedicated to Amanda Usen who brings light and joy to Jessica’s soul all year long and is her partner in crime. Amanda also needs to be commended for the beautiful and creative cover design she did for The Hanukkah Hookup. It is very eye-catching and makes you want to know what the book is about.
So many parts of Jessica’s book had me cracking up laughing!! I loved all the pop culture references, the matzo baller and omg all the food references were making me hungry!! It was a very well written book.
