I had extremely high hopes for His for Hanukkah by Reese Morrison. I mean, Hanukkah M/M romances alone are rare, but a Hanukkah romance with daddy kink and a trans MC?? OMG, I was ready to be living that dream. But, alas, it was not the Jewish nirvana I was expecting it would be.
I'm hoping Reese Morrison is Jewish because they made Adam so unlikeable that if they weren't Jewish I would even feel mildly offended. Adam is intolerable. I'm a Jew who exists in the world around the holidays, and yeah, it's a little annoying how Christmas gets all of the focus, but Adam complained about it every single chance he got. He made being Jewish look exhausting. His whining was so pervasive that it was actually his main personality trait.
The kink was.... meh, and the romance was literally non-existent. I kept wanting these two to have a lick of chemistry but I couldn't find it.
Bonus points for a trans dom (more of this, please), but if you are looking for good Hanukkah romances, I'd look elsewhere.

Just to let you know Reese Morrison uses they/them pronouns!

I know it's a year later, but yes, Morrison is Jewish!
