Romantic Suspense

As the Avraham Avinu, or father of the Jewish Mafia, my shoulders bear a heavy burden. The safety of not only my family, but those that have pledged their allegiance to me, is only the tip of the iceberg. I work hard, and I play harder. My brothers, cousins and I are never without willing company, however, our mothers are not shy about voicing their desires for us to find someone that grounds us, balances the bloodshed with unconditional support and love. I've never shied away from my responsibilities, I've never run when I could fight.

And despite her many, many rejections, Seril is worth fighting for. Her safety becomes paramount and I will stand between her and danger everytime, willing to go to any length to ensure it. After all, I've got plenty of ammo.

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.
