#Holiday
Givers gonna give…
Twas the night of game day,
And all through the town,
Lacey glittering snowflakes fluttered around.
They clung to the roads, concealing everything with white.
It was a beautiful #holiday sight.
The paparazzi were out without any care,
In hopes to catch Romeo and Rimmel, rumored to be there.
When out on the road there arose such a clatter.
The Hellcat spun out, but it shouldn’t matter.
I pulled out my cell to dial in a flash.
But the battery was dead. What useless trash.
The moonlight glistening on the new fallen snow
Made us forget we needed a tow.
For the season was upon us. Our family was alight.
Our #holiday was destined to be merry and bright.
Bonus content features FIVE #holiday recipes to make and share!

In this holiday novella, the Hashtag gang spend their first big Christmas together as a chosen family.
Although fun, sweet, and sexy, this addition to the series seemed a little gratuitous to me. I still love all the characters and I’m certainly looking forward to reading Trent and Drew’s spin off series, but where the original two couples are concerned, I’m not really sure there’s a need for more of their story.
Having said that, I’m committed at this point and will read on until Romeo and Rimmel and Brayden and Ivy have their last hurrah.

It was cute, I guess. I'm glad it was short as I want to have this series done with. It was nice to see Trent and Drew again, and it was the F I R S T time someone *ehem Romeo* noticed the way Drew looks at Trent. Also, I wish someone would make a timeline for this series, at least the ages of the character especially Drew. I have no idea how old he is, just that he is oldest of three.

#Holiday came as a complete shock to me. Yeah, I’m an avid Cambria Hebert fan, and I would easily call myself one of her Nerds. So imagine my surprise, and just about everyone else who follows her as well’s surprise, when this came out. We thought Hashtag was over. We thought we were moving on from our beloved characters that we’d grown so attached to. Expanding, getting a spin off, yada yada…Then the woman goes and springs a short story on us! It. Was. Amazing. Hands down, one of the best Christmas presents this year for me.
This short little novella takes place right after #Heart and before #Junkie (GearShark spin off!). It covers a Christmas with Romeo, Rimmel, Braden, Ivy, little Nova, Trent and Drew. You get to see what is going on with them. Holiday traditions. Where things are moving too, and for me, it felt like some things were wrapped up.
If you’ve never read a Hashtag book, don’t start here! This is the very end, definitely not a standalone. You would be lost. Completely and utterly. If you’ve read the whole series, this is one you don’t want to miss!
Oh, and check in the back for the recipes! Who else want B’s brownies!? *waves a hand around* Because Sprinkles! That is why! <3

Nice little novella... gave me Christmas feelings in March...

This was a good update on the gang. It was informative. I really wanted some news on what happened to them after everything.
I'm glad that Ivy and Braeden seem to have their hands full with the baby. Everyone seems to be enamored by the little angel. It's also good that they settled some differences. It's just normal, eh?
Romeo and Rimmel on the other hand, are also making the best of their love story. It's nice that they're still that tight after everything that happened to them. I'm happy to know that the media hasn't destroyed their sense of self.
This was a good, short romantic read and again, a nice update about the gang. Can't wait for the spin off. :) It's high time I try something new!

I can never get enough of this series! It's truly in my top 5 all time fav series. This is a nice little Holiday story with the whole gang. I love that it's in Romeo and Braden's POV. Eek, I can't wait for Drew and Trent's book!!

I'm a sucker for Holiday novellas, and a sucker for the Hashtag crew. perfect combination.
December 10, 2018
The Hashtag series never disappoints.
This short novella was the epitome of what makes this series such a great read. The domesticity and familiarity between the characters mixed with the romance and funny banter is the perfect cocktail for the Holidays.
This novella is told only from Romeo and Breaden's POVs. It was really great. And it contained the perfect balance between a fast-forward when it comes to dealing with their new lives, and shots of moments in their present. There were also two little issues regarding the couples. One on a more material side of things, while the other purely psychological. It helped with the plot and giving the reader the feeling of reading a complete novel, not just page fillers and disconnected scenes.
I'm sure gonna read Junkie as soon as it gets out. I'm counting down the hours

This is a short holiday story with my favorite peeps!

The Hashtag series is one of my favorites. I simply adore Romeo and Rimmel.
I do like Braeden and Ivy, but just not as much. I felt like this book was
a filler. It was okay. There was not a lot of story, this was really an
extended epilogue. I would have personally prefer something about Romeo and
Rimmel in the future. Just them, so I could see where they ended up in life.
I did however read that Ms. Hebert wrote this as a gift to her fans, so that
in itself is super sweet. I will not be reading the next series because M/M
just doesn't do it for me.(and that makes me sad because I would love to read
more about these characters) But the Hashtag series remains one of my favorites
and I will keep my eye out for future Cambria Hebert books.

#Holiday was pretty boring and there was a lot of whining from the characters. I liked the sweet moments, but Romeo and Braeden here just became too good to be true. Eh.

A great Christmas story with Romeo, Rimmel, Braeden and Ivy. It’s always amazing to read more about them. There were beautiful and very romantic scenes.

I can't get enough of this family. It's almost over and I can't seem to comprehend that. I'm still not ready to say goodbye, I probably never will be.

I adored this novella told from both Rome and B's POVs. It was exactly what I needed coming off such an intense read. Great addition to the series.

#Holiday is a perfect extra ending to the #Hashtag Series. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to these characters after #Heart so I was ecstatic to see we would get a holiday novella for them.
#Holiday takes place over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and is the first time the "Family" is spending the holiday together. We get to see both Romeo and Braeden's points of view in this book and I didn't think it was possible, but I may have fallen in love with them just a bit more!
Romeo being Romeo does everything in his power to make the holiday special for Rimmel and to keep up with some of the traditions she had growing up. He's sweeter than sweet and you can see after everything that has happened with these two, the love he has for her keeps growing. I loved being inside his head when they got stuck and him thinking about her driving his car. No one trusts Rim to drive any of their vehicles and it's quite hilarious.
Braeden is totally in love with his baby girl Nova, and his love for Ivy continues to get stronger and stronger. Seeing him with his daughter is absolutely amazing, and how he treats Ivy is beautiful. He works hard to show her she is the most important person in his life and I may have swooned when he was trying to tell her.
I have come to love these characters as if they were real, and I loved that Cambria Hebert gave us a short story so we could get more of Braeden, Ivy, Romeo, Rimmel, Drew and Trent, because well... these characters are just awesome. This book definitely needs to be read if you're a fan of the #Hashtag series. It's a very quick read that had me laughing and falling in love with the guys all over again, oh and the recipes at the end of the book... definitely going to be making some of those this season!

Although the last book of the series didn't work well for me, reading the characters spending their holiday as married couples and with their loved ones is a nice reading. I like to know that they are happy with the family they have and adjust with their new life really well.
There is nothing big or whatsoever in this short story, though. But we got to know that Rimmel & Romeo and Ivy and Braeden are famous couples now that attract the papparazzies. And they are still characters who love saying I love you and cannot live without you in (almost) every paragraph. To be honest it's one thing that annoying me from them. I like when they're feeling loved all the time but reading it over and over is kinda boring, in my opinion.
But still it's a nice holiday reading, moreover there are recipes at the end of the book for me to try :)

What can I say? If you're a fan of the Pound series (as I like to call it), then you're gonna love this. It was chock full of everything you love about the series, with both Romeo and Braeden's POVs....and quite frankly, I love those boys, so more time in their heads is always a bonus. It was light hearted, but with a sprinkling of serious to tug at your heartstrings. It had romance and steam (so much delicious steam). It had all our favourite players (a bit of Drew and Trent too). Basically it was just the perfect little holiday epilogue. And I LOVE me a good epilogue, so an extended one in novella format is like my own little Christmas present. So thank you Ms. Hebert!!! Merry Christmas to me!!!
April 12, 2018
I read this novella so fast, absorbing very adorable holiday moment!
For fans of the #hashtag series, this does not disappoint as Romeo and Rimmel along with Braeden, Ivy, Drew and Trent share Christmas into New Year at a suh-weeet cabin.
The football superstars are tired but there is no stopping them from making the holidays merry and bright for their family including the baby Nova who steals the men’s hearts.
There are decorations, presents, hot tub sex, cookies and hot chocolate with marshmallow creme. But overshadowing their happiness is the darn paparazzi.
The couples will need this quiet reflective time as the author reveals the coup de grace, another book!!! Find holiday cookie recipes at the back of the book too.

This was a great update to Romeo, Rimmel, Braeden and Ivy. It is interesting to see, how different relationships are portraied in this series and I really love that.
Romeo and Rimmel still have this easy way with each other - they trust and love each other without thought and it is great to read.
Braeden and Ivy don't have it that easy, their relationship is not so simple but their love and trust in each other is clearly as strong as Romeo and Rimmels.
I loved that it we got to see how these two cope with the baby and deal with this new responsibility and how to manage their relationship on top
all in all, I loved it and the half star off is simple for being so short

Quick fun read. I would live to see more of this but with Trent and Drew as a couple. There was a slight hint that Romeo may be seeing the beginnings of something between the two but nothing more. Know that I have this whole storey I may go back and reread #Junkie just to see if there is any overlap and to see my two sweet guys again.

Too short :c but loved it♥

Librito corto que me dejó una sonrisa. Me encantan los personajes, y no voy a quejarme si la autora nos sigue entregando más material (especialmente, me encantan Ivy y Braeden, con Nova).
