Double Hanukkah Book Giveaway!

Meet the OG Matzo Ballers: Eight friends who became a found family, living and loving their best lives on a yearly Hanukkah harbor cruise around Manhattan…

Today we are featuring books three and four. We featured the first two books last year. Both are currently free for Kindle! (Melissa read one of them recently and has her five-star review here.) Jessica Topper and Amanda Usen have TWO sets of the latest ebooks for some lucky readers!

Each book in the Matzo Baller Hanukkah Romance series can be read as a standalone. However, they are best enjoyed in pairs! Each duet (Book One/Book Two, Book Three/Book Four) is spoiler-free, takes place simultaneously, and can be read in either order.

THE MENORAH MATCHMAKER 
by Amanda Usen

Falling for her boss isn’t on her to-do list.

Rebecca Weiss has one rule: never mix business with pleasure. After all, her last office romance ended in a career catastrophe. No matter how much her boss tempts her with his smoldering looks, sharp wit, and undeniable charm, she’s determined to keep things strictly professional. Besides, juggling her role at Katz Event Concepts while moonlighting for her grandmother’s matchmaking business keeps her far too busy to fool around…

Some rules are made to be broken.

Jay Katz thrives on big ideas and bold moves, but logistics and details? Not so much. He counts on Rebecca to bring his visions to life with her flawless organization and unmatched efficiency. But no matter how much he needs her skills, he can’t resist trying to get under her skin.

All in favor, say oy.

As they work late nights and brainstorm outrageous solutions, the chemistry they’ve been ignoring threatens to destroy Rebecca’s carefully drawn boundaries.

Jay’s not above playing dirty, but it’s going to take more than a sizzling game of truth or dare to show Rebecca their differences make them a perfect team. He’s going to need a holiday miracle...

THE RUGELACH ROAD TRIP by Jessica Topper

Worst Hanukkah Ever.

Indie rock star Avi Wolfson is freezing his strings off in a snowy Ohio rest stop, watching his tour bus vanish in the distance. He needs a miracle to get to his last gig on the tour before heading to Manhattan for the Matzo Baller Hanukkah harbor cruise, where his found family await. Instead, he gets Leah: the girl whose bat mitzvah he unintentionally ruined fourteen years ago. And she’s not about to let him forget it.

Matzo Baller or Bust.

Leah Gellman has her Hanukkah all mapped out: drive from Ohio to New York, deliver her hand-painted mahjong sets to eight crucial influencers, and make it to the Matzo Baller cruise by sunset. Her road trip is packed with favors along the way - including delivering rugelach to a friend’s single doctor grandson. What's not on her itinerary? Bailing out an arrogant rock star with a wicked sweet tooth he’s desperately trying to hide.

Three Days. Two hearts. One blinking oil light.

With just three days to reach the boat, Avi and Leah find themselves tangled in a wild journey full of unexpected detours, old grudges, and sparks neither of them anticipated. But with Avi’s old flame waiting at the dock and Leah’s prospective doctor on her Hanukkah to-do list, will their budding connection crash and burn before they reach Manhattan?

Miracles happen when you least expect them. And with Hanukkah magic in the air, this raucous, heartwarming adventure might just be the journey you’re looking for this holiday season!

For fans of second chances, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and holiday romances that warm the heart and bring the laughs.

About the authors:

L to R: Amanda Usen and Jessica Topper

Amanda Usen has spent most of her life immersed in story—and butter, sugar, flour, and eggs. After college, she fortified her English BA with a degree from the Culinary Institute of America, figuring a professional chef would never be a starving writer. Amanda loves chocolate, yoga, and carbs in all forms. When she isn’t writing or cooking, she can usually be found reading or hanging out with her small menagerie of cats, ducks, and mostly-grown children.

Jessica Topper has been in love with the beauty of the written word ever since she memorized Maurice Sendak's Chicken Soup with Rice at the age of three.

After earning a B.A. in English Literature and her Master's Degree in Library Science, Jessica went on to work as a librarian in New York City before trading in the books for bookkeeping. For seventeen years, she worked in the production office of an international touring rock band.

Jessica broke the rock romance mold with her 2013 debut novel LOUDER THAN LOVE. Her follow-up romantic comedy, DICTATORSHIP OF THE DRESS, was named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2015.


She lives in Western New York with her family - including two cats that love to walk across her keyboard.
