Romance, Contemporary Romance

Dafna is wealthy, stunning, and accomplished in her chosen career.
She presents a shiny façade to the world. But the shameful truth is that she hasn't been able to become intimate with any man since her divorce, six years ago. Buoyed by drinks and her best friends she indulges in a thrilling one-night encounter with a young, tattooed barman she plans to never see again.

However, fate twists the game when that same man reappears. He is an accountant hired to scrutinize her company for influential investors. Now, with the stakes higher than ever, Dafna must maintain decorum and ethics. She can’t let the lines blur and risk everything she's worked so hard to achieve.

If only her body would listen to reason.

Pulling Her Resources is a steamy later in life romance with a side dish of financial intrigue, set in Tel Aviv.

This collection of books featuring Jewish main characters is decidedly non-comprehensive. As we come across books that are described as having Jewish main characters, we add them to this database. The creators of the Jewish Genre Reading Challenge have not read all (or even most) of the books in this database. We have gathered information from many sources and not all may be accurate. Inclusion of a book in our database does not imply endorsement or approval. There is always the possibility that antisemitism may be present in a book, either written into a character's experience or through malicious or ignorant caricature or stereotypical portrayal of Jewish characters and culture. Please take care of yourselves as you read.

PLEASE let us know if you encounter a book in this database that does not have a Jewish main character, if you have corrections or additions for a book's genre categories, or if you have any other concerns about the inclusion of a particular book in this database.
