But a chance to bring a bit of a holiday happiness to his long-time crush, Amit Cohen, helps put him in a more festive mood.<\/p>\n<p>In the quest to craft the perfect gift, Dave tries to urge a few personal details out of stoic Amit. Unintentionally, he learns the Cohen family\u2019s secret: Amit is a golem. But Amit has a problem that runs deeper than his magical origin, and a Hanukkah miracle might be the only thing that will keep the budding flame between him and Dave from going out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07L25KZ7F\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/43079634-hearts-alight\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center><center><p class=\"ubb-buy\"><div class=\"ubb-icon-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/3stars\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0002_3-stars.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"3 stars icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/closed-door\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"116\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/categories_0000s_0012_closed-door.png?fit=116%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/holiday\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/categories_0000s_0015_holiday.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"holiday\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/jewish\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"101\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/categories_0000s_0003_jewish.png?fit=80%2C101&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"jewish\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/m-m\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"102\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/categories_0000s_0005_m_m.png?fit=80%2C102&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"categories_m_m\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/paranormal\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"116\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/categories_0000_paranormal.png?fit=116%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"paranormal\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/romance\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"82\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0017_romance.png?fit=82%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"romance icon\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/center><br>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2019-01-13T06:24:55+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\r\\n\\r\\nWhile I liked a lot about this charming Hanukkah novella, for some reason it just didn\\u2019t grab me. \\u00a0Dave is an introverted nerd who works at his dad\\u2019s pottery studio, while Amit is the re\",\n\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Llama Reads Books\"\t},\n\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/01\\\/12\\\/mini-review-hearts-alight-elliot-cooper\\\/\",\n\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Hearts Alight\",\n\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Elliot Cooper\",\n\t\t\t\"sameAs\": \"\"\t\t},\n\t\t\"isbn\": \"\"\t},\n\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"ReadingLlama\",\n\t\t\"sameAs\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/\"\t},\n\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\"ratingValue\": 3,\n\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t}\n}\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t<hr \/>\n<p>While I liked a lot about this charming Hanukkah novella, for some reason it just didn\u2019t grab me. \u00a0Dave is an introverted nerd who works at his dad\u2019s pottery studio, while Amit is the reserved bartender at his brother-in-law\u2019s family bar &#8211; and also a golem. \u00a0There\u2019s some pretty cute things &#8211; from Dave\u2019s crush being able to \u201cpower\u201d Amit to Dave introducing Amit to D&amp;D to Amit hating dreidel song (think about it). \u00a0But while I thought they were adorable, I didn\u2019t really feel the connection between them. \u00a0The pacing between them felt odd, with their relationship going in fits and spurts, though I found Dave\u2019s second date worries about how the end of the date goodbye is going to go &#8211; a hug? a kiss? &#8211; endearing. \u00a0I also feel a bit weird listing this as paranormal, because while Amit is a golem, I think there\u2019s more time spent on them playing D&amp;D than \u201cactual\u201d magic.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;He could envision Amit\u2019s reaction to the gift: a surprised lift of his heavy brows, then a slow, earnest smile. Inner happiness, though, even if there was no outward indication, was what Dave hoped to give. More than a little piece of kitschy-cute art. More than a social obligation. Something that would bring a spark of warmth whenever Amit looked at it. And wasn\u2019t that the spirit of Hanukkah? The miracle of kindling a lasting light\u2015hope and peace\u2015from next to nothing?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was also very low-angst, which I did enjoy, but almost to the point where I wasn\u2019t sure where the story was going. \u00a0There was a big deal made of Dave\u2019s dislike of the consumerism and one-upping gift culture around the holidays, and while Amit offered one Hanukkah-centered rebuttal that seemed to sway Dave, it didn\u2019t seem like it sunk in for him. \u00a0Although, the low angst-ness also extended to its LGBT characters &#8211; Dave is bi and a supporting character is trans, and it\u2019s all viewed as no big deal, which is always lovely to read.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this was quick and charming, but didn\u2019t quite hit the spot for me. \u00a0If you\u2019re looking for a m\/m Hanukkah romance, however, you should still give it a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I liked a lot about this charming Hanukkah
