Her childhood crush may be her best story yet.
Journalist Jessica Sacks’s career is on the line if she doesn’t ace this next assignment. She must interview firefighter Thomas Carville, Browerville’s celebrated hero—and her forever crush since childhood. When Jessica returns home for Hanukkah, handsome Thomas takes her breath away. And rudely shuts her down when she asks for an interview.
Thomas knows he and the man he saved are both lucky to be alive, regardless of his actions. And now Jessica is poking into his business. Thomas would rather kiss her under the mistletoe than answer her questions. But his priority is protecting his sobriety and his secret. They’re as far apart as Christmas and Hanukkah, but even their differences can’t trump the power of love.

REVIEW
I absolutely loved Deadlines, Donuts, & Dreidels. Thomas and Jessica have hurdles to overcome before they can even have a chance for their happily ever after.
Jessica always had a crush on Thomas while they were growing up. As a reporter, she is assigned a story in which he is the hero. Throughout the story, Jessica goes through a thought process that allows her to put the feelings of others ahead of a sensational article.
Thomas, an injured firefighter, has harbored his own demons and does not want any part of Jessica’s story. As he gets to know the now grown up Jessica, he finds himself allowing her into his life on a personal level.
One thing that I truly enjoyed about this book is Jessica and Thomas willingness to learn about each other’s religious beliefs. As Jessica and her family celebrate Hanukkah, Thomas prepares for his family’s Christmas celebration. What started out as a friendly competition, turned into more.
If you are familiar with Jennifer Wilck’s books, you know that she writes stories about acceptance. Not just accepting others, but an acceptance of one’s self. Deadlines, Donuts, & Dreidels is no exception. Throughout the book, both Jessica and Thomas learn things about their own selves as well as a willingness to learn and grow from each other.
I highly recommend adding Deadlines, Donuts, & Dreidels to your holiday reading list. I also recommend reading the other books in the Holidays, Heart and Chutzpah Series, Home for the Challah Days and Matzah Ball Blues. Each book is a standalone centered around a different Jewishn holiday.

Meet Jennifer Wilck
When I was a little girl and couldn't fall asleep, my mother would tell me to make up a story. Pretty soon, my head was filled with these stories and the characters that populated them. Each character had a specific personality, a list of likes and dislikes, and sometimes, even a specific accent or dialect. Even as an adult, I think about the characters and stories at night before I fall asleep, or in the car on my way to or from one of my daughters' numerous activities (hey, anything that will drown out their music is a good thing).
One day, I started writing them down (it was either that or checking into the local mental hospital--the computer was way less scary) and now I'm a published author. My first book, A Heart of Little Faith, was just declared a Finalist in the Fiction: Romance category of the 2016 Best Book Awards. In the Moment was a 2018 Stiletto Finalist in mid-length novels.
In the real world, I'm the mother of two amazing daughters and wife of one of the smartest men I know. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, traveling and watching TV.
I write stories that let me escape from reality. In my made-up world, the heroines are always smart, sassy and independent. The heroes are handsome and strong with just a touch of vulnerability. If I don't like a character, I can delete him or her; if something doesn't work, I can rewrite it. It's very satisfying to be in control of at least one part of my life. My inspiration comes from watching the people around me and fantasizing about how I'd do things differently.
