If you’ve read the Heat Haven Series, this is a must read for you. It was the perfect read to start December, as well!

Getting to revisit all these dear characters and packs was so special. Each short story has sweet, funny and steamy moments. Sarah Blue truly thrives when she writes novellas, there’s something about her writing style that makes it feel like you’re reading something longer based on the emotions it’s giving you.

Emily’s story

Getting to read Griffin’s POV again made me so happy. I love that man so much. And his possessive, jealous, petty ass gave me all the tingles 😍

I think my favorite part was seeing the four alphas being a family, loving each other and being friends. Which is what their novella left us wanting more of. So this was perfect!

The family selfie tradition was so cute, I thought I was melting.

Liv’s story

Oh my god, I love Liv so much! She’s so unhinged and intense, but also so cute and innocent… she’s probably my favorite female character of 2022.

River comparing him and Liv with Joe from You was hilarious. Liv calling the stingrays “puppies of the ocean” made me ugly snort.

I feel like I’m just fangirling at this point, but I just love this pack so much!

And excuse me but who gave Dean the right to be that hot?? Best character development I’ve read this year. Remember Dean in OO? You’ll be on your knees for him after this novella. I guarantee it lol

Cami’s story

Harry Smith is too damn hot. It should be illegal for a fictional man to have that impact on my ovaries. His dirty talk had me going like 😚👌🏻

I think their novella was my favorite. Just seeing how much they loved each other and how happy they were… It was just perfect!

Kelsey’s story

So these little shits made me cry. Can you believe that?!

Their novella started so melancholic, it gave me all the feels. Then the four packs reunited with all their children and oh god, please just read it. It was so good! Every little interaction between characters of different books made me so giddy.

If you get confused trying to follow the names of all the children these horny fuckers had, remember there are family tree graphics at the end of the book! You’re welcome 😉

Is it already time to beg for the kids’ generation series next? 😇

I’m all for fluff, smut and babies and this just hit the spot. I love reading short stories set after the original books so to get 4 in one book and it be set during the holidays was perfect. This made me have all feels in a bittersweet way and I’m so sad for this series to come to end.
Thankyou to Sarah for creating all these masterpieces!

[Heather myfriendsdontread · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read the first short story in this to see more from the characters in book one.

It was a very cute, cozy, and steamy novella set during another one of Emily’s heats and during Christmas time.

It’s so funny how there’s such a cute, found-family feeling, but it’s also super smutty at the same time.

I don’t know if I’ll continue the series and finish this novella though. I thought all the books were novellas, but apparently the others are full length novels.

Right now I just wanted something short, mindless, and spicy.

It's an obsession at this point.

Omegaverses catch up with my favorite omegas and alphas.

Seeing everyone happy and the family trees were perfect. I hate to see thos.world go because it's so damn comfortable. 🥹🥹

Thank you Sarah for creating this masterpiece

Wow, I can't believe it's really the end of this series. I am going to miss reading about each of the packs.

This was a great way to wrap up all their stories, and I loved every minute of it.

I love the Heat Haven Family Trees; those were great to see at the end of the book.

What a great collection of holiday shorts that brought us back to our favorite packs in the Heat Haven series. I loved this glimpse into their extended HEAs, seeing how our good friends have gotten on with their lives with babies, proposals, and how they all became one giant chosen family in the end. I got a little weepy from all the sweetness.

Heat Haven Holidays brings on the heat! This is not a tame collection of stories. Lots of knotting, some mating bites, and copious amounts of slick and come. Some scenes contain MM and FF interactions.

This collection of stories was the perfect cherry to top the Heat Haven sweet omegaverse series. I have loved following all four packs and will miss them.

[dany · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ya extrañaba a los primeros packs de esta serie. Gosh, es que cada uno es tan diferente y sus dinámicas me parecen 💓🫶 deli.
Emily por fin tiene su bond con todos (Kenji cásate conmigo también por favor - obvio no dejando a Dion, Griffin y Freddie atrás).
Liv en Bora Bora (yo pensé que ella iba a regalar los dibujos de Kelsey de River, Grayson y Dean como monstruos lmao).
Cami y Smith avanzando a una etapa más como pareja 🍼.
La historia de Kelsey tho, la disfruté muchísimo porque no sólo vimos a su pack como padres, o sea Dom y Emmett me dan las vibras de hot mientras Cameron algo mas tierno, pero Shyla se lleva el trono ✨💖 ejem, además, se ve un poco a los demás con sus hijos y todo y yo 🥹.
Gracias Sarah Blue, por crear una serie dentro del omegaverse que es de gran comfort, la adoro.

Sarah said it best… “if you are a Ho Ho Ho for omegaverse” & you loved the Heat Haven Series than this is for you 👏🏻

This is a collection of short stories that had me from the beginning because I was told it would have bondings and babies!
What more could I need..

I loved seeing what all the packs have been up to - revisiting stories I thought were done is always my favorite!

✨Each short story had its bright moments that made me want to run back and reread each full length book but Kelsey’s just made me so happy!
All of these babies and special moments.. the love still being so prominent in such a large pack!

[Cass_purr · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to Sarah Blue for the advanced copy, all thoughts and opinions are my own!

I have absolutely loved the Heat Haven series so far and Sarah Blue just continues to impress me every time! I love how we get a sneak peek of each pack during the holiday season and to be honest it has definitely gotten me more in the mood for the holidays!

I don’t want to spoil too much but those spicy scenes are HOT! HOT! HOT! I’m sad to see this series come to an end but I’m also excited to see what else Sarah comes up with (even though I know I’m going to love it regardless)!

⭐️ 3.75

And with that the 2022 season is over *please tell me you know this tik tok reference*

The Heat Haven novella was my introduction to the omegaverse world, and is the very reason I can't stop reading omegaverse books (more recs pls!!)

While this wasn't my favorite read from the heat haven world, it definitely provided that happy ending closure to the series, and it was so nice to see how the packs were doing after their individual books

[XxnightxowlxX74 · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Holidays…

This was a heartwarming look into the lives of the omegas from the Heat Haven series.
We got to see special moments around the holidays spent with their packs. We glimpse a little bit of the future.. marriage, babies and juggling life. If you love the Heat Haven series you will definitely love this holiday special.
Lots of naughtiness happens too.

[Kylee · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a perfect holiday read to the sending of the heat haven series! I am honestly truly sad that this series is ending. I couldn’t be more sad! Sarah has done an amazing job with each and everyone of her omegaverse books in this series. I loved seeing a glimpse of each of the characters we met throughout the series. Each story telling their own romance.

A lot of the scenes made my my heart melt and swoon. If I had to say, I would have a hard time picking which one made me swoon with excitement and cuteness.

Spice? Yassss! So good. Just the perfect Christmas love to each pack and their own story!

Overall, I throughly enjoyed this book. It was so cute to be able to see into all the packs and how they were doing. This is such a bittersweet end that I will continue to love! I highly recommend this book and any omegaverse books by Sarah Blue. They are such a good read!

[lovelyj22 · Rating 4 out of 5]

loved it

I only read Emily and Liv’s story and of course I loved them.

My favorite was Emily and her alpha’s. I love how grumpy Griffin can be. And I’m sooo glad we got to see Freddy and Kenji bonding with Emily.

[WhatJennahReads · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Heat Haven series so far has been plot-filled and super spicy. Each book is more fun and interesting than the last.

This holiday short story follows each of our known packs from the Heat Haven series in their own holiday special.

Happy Heatmas (follows Heat Haven's Pack Miller-Ito)
Emily is ready for her final two bond marks from Kenji and Freddie, but with the winter storm will Griffin and Dion be able to make it to her incoming heat?

Sandy Santa (follows Omega's Obsession's Pack Sørenson)
All Liv want's for Christmas is a ring to solidify to the world that she is a taken Omega. Pack Sørenson has Christmas plans that involve the beach and lots and lots of spice.

A Christmas Surprise (follows Protector's Promise's Cami & Smith)
Cami has been spending most of her time busy as Doja Fox. All Smith wants for Christmas is to spend more time with his popstar Omega. Maybe some public play and a secluded cabin will grant them just what they're looking for. (TW: Pregnancy)

And a Happy New Year... (follows Too Tempting's Pack Bosch - with special guest)
Set 15 years in the future, Kelsey and pack are hosting a NYE party for all of the packs. Get to see each pack with their family - including children!! The ending to this short story is one final group scene that will leave you completely satisfied.

Thank you to Sarah Blue for the advanced copy, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

🎄Heat Haven Holidays🎄
By Sarah Blue
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice:🌶🌶🌶🌶

This was my first holiday read of the season and I couldn’t be happier about it. This book is a collection of novellas about the packs from the other four books. We get a glimpse of how everyones doing and where their at. Just know there’s a lot of spice, campy happiness, baby making, reconnecting, engagements, babies, and more. We start out with Emily’s from Heat Haven who do was perfection, then move to Liv’s pack and let me tell you her surprise had me jealous 😂 also I will forever call stingrays puppies of the sea.
From here we move to Cami’s where her and Smith haven’t been spending as much time together. With the holidays she’s been busy with shows and appearances. But she decides to take time off for them to get away and reconnect. They both miss each other like crazy so alone in the mountains seems like the perfect way to spend their alone time but there’s a bit of a surprise she doesn’t see coming.
Lastly we get Kelsey’s novella and I won’t lie this is the one I was most excited for. However I wasn’t expecting that time jump! Kelsey and her pack are doing really well and I spent most of this novella smiling and happy. I would kill to see fanart of that group picture scene!!! This was a perfect end to everyone’s stories and I’m sad it’s over 😢
I can’t say this enough I highly recommend this series but if you haven’t read the others this book is filled with spoilers! :)

4.25 stars overall

Even though the steam is high in this Christmas anthology, my reaction was still: nawwwww! I loved revisiting the characters in the Heat Haven Series.

Emily and her pack (MFMMM) - 3.5 stars. Took me a while to get into this one because I’d forgotten who the MMCs (other than Griffin) were, but it was a fun read. I liked how the pack was still figuring out the dynamics and how to share, but making it work.

Liv and her pack (MFMM) - 4.5 stars. Yep, Daddy Grayson is still my favorite. 😍 Liv’s stalker tendencies calmed down in this book, probably because she was no longer starved for emotional connection, but I loved how attuned all the MMCs were to her needs. Especially the mention of Dean making up for lost time.

Cami and Smith (MF) - 4.25 stars. This was super cute. I found myself grinning while reading this one, lots of family vibes.

Kelsey and her pack (MFFMM) - 4 stars. This one takes place 15 years later so we see all the packs again. Also the mention of sex logistics killed me 😂. I’m glad the book had a family tree diagram at the end because I was really losing track.

🔥🔥🔥.5/5

This was the perfect end to a perfect series! I can’t express how much I loved diving back into the Heat Haven world and getting to see how everyone is doing! There was so much love I couldn’t stand it!🥹😍

It’s exactly what you’d be looking for after reading each book; a lot of spice, happy beautiful families, and cute bundles of joy! There were also a ton of funny moments and witty banter!

I absolutely loved the future time jump! I would be completely down continuing the series. Getting to see them as parents and having the kids steal the show would be adorable!🥰

I don’t want to give too much away so just know a lot of scenes will make your heart melt and the spice of course is top tier🔥

100% recommend! You of course need to read the rest of the books in the series but if you have you won’t want to pass on this one! 🙌🖤

[Miriam · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great final/conclusion to all the Heat Haven books. I loved it!

I loved seeing all the different FMCs and their packs together, and see what become of them after their stories ended.

I don't know why, but if children are mentioned at the end of a story, I always find joy in an epilogue/bonus content, and see how the characters are with their children, and what are the children like. Connections and all.

In general, I like to see how the characters develop in the future and what they achieved otherwise.

Here, it was sweet and heartwarming. Though, I'm sad that it is over now.

But I know we will get new stuff from Sarah Blue, and I can't wait for the next adventures.

[Tatiana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Once I started reading this collection of short stories, I knew I wasn't in the mood for smut. What a shame. Anyways, I'll not punish the book because of that, given I was still able to enjoy almost all the stories.

Pack Miller-Ito is my absolute favorite. I just love Griff and Dien. Even Freddie has won my heart over. Pack Bosch and Pack Smith's stories were also pretty good. Liv is not my favorite omega so I mostly skipped Pack Sorensen's story. I think my mistake was waiting to read this colletion; I should have read it as soon as I finished Too Tempting, so I would still have all my happy, lovey emotions fresh. Still, if you read and enjoyed the Heat Haven omegaverse, reading these short stories is a must and definitely worth it.

Heat Haven Holidays
5/5 Stars

This was a great addition to the Heat Haven Omegeverse series. It was nice to see where each pack was at and get a little more read time from each of them. If you have read the Heat Haven series this is a must-read so, definitely get your copy!

Although each book ends with a hfn so, this book does not have to be read, it does however give you a bit more closure and look into different members of the pack’s POV. Like in Emily’s story you get to see Griffin’s possessive and jealous side. AND it has a holiday vibe so it was perfect to start my holiday reads.

Can't wait to see what else Sarah Blue writes next.

[Stefanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was so cute getting to see all the different packs and couple again at various Christmases. Seeing how they've gotten on and progressed was so heartwarming and totally perfect to round off the series.

In particular, getting to once again experience a grumpy Griffin, totally made my day. I'm all about his grumpy and protective energy. His inner monologue is *chef's kiss* perfect!

I feel that I also need to point out that Liv's chaotic energy is just everything. I'm totally here for her crazy ass. 😍

❤ Knotting
❤ Nesting
❤ Heats
❤ So many group activities.
❤ Sexy alphas, omegas and even some cinnamon roll betas.

🔞 18+ read due to explicit content.

4,5🌟 4 amazing short stories

We get a collection of short stories, or in my opinion, just 4 longer prologue (1 for each book in the series). They are all sweet, very steamy and drama free. We get to know what each pack happily ever after looks like many years after their stories ended. Each story is set at a different time in the future, increasing per story. As they are all friends by book 4, we get to see or hear about each pack even when their story isn't being told.
It gives as closure for each pack and all of them as a whole. It's heart warming and uplifting to see how they manage life and make it all work for them.

[Trish · Rating 5 out of 5]

Heat Haven Holidays is the last book in the Heat Haven series and needs to be read after the first four books. It is a continuation of the four previous stories and shows the packs in the future. I absolutely loved seeing what was happening in their lives since their books ended! I especially loved the last story that had all four packs coming together. If you’ve read the rest of this series then you are sure to love this one! I’m sad this series is over but happy with how it ended! I can’t wait to read more by this author!

[Liz Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a great collection of holiday shorts about our favorite packs in the Heat Haven series. I loved this glimpse into their extended HEAs, which are always one of my favorite parts of books. Seeing how they have gotten on with their lives with babies, proposals, and growing families was awesome.

And of course, Heat Haven Holidays brought on the heat! This is not a tame collection of stories.

This collection of stories was the perfect cherry to top the Heat Haven sweet omegaverse series. Definitely recommend, once you've read the original books in the series.

[Kirsten Reda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am going to miss reading about all of these packs, but this is the perfect finale for this series. 🥰

This was an amazing collection of holiday shorts that includes all the previous packs that we have read about in the series. This book is extremely sweet and let's us get a glimpse into the happy endings of the different packs!

Although this collection is very sweet it didn't let down on the steam. 🔥

This book made me have all the feels! This series is seriously one of my favorite of all time! 😍

This was a lovely holiday themed way to wrap up this series. You get to visit each couple and catch up with them and what they’re doing now. The Heat Haven Omegaverse series is one of my all-time favorite series ever and if you haven't read it already, you're missing out. I don’t want to give too much away. But just know a lot of scenes are very spicy and will make your heart melt. Happy Holidays!

[Krystal (LeeLovesBooks_) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was too cute. I love revisiting the packs a few months, years down the line and seeing how their relationships and families continued to grow. You don't see that too often with Omegaverses.

I enjoyed the Christmas traditions that were started and evolved as their pack/families grew. Watching all the packs get together was adorable. Perfect read for the Christmas/NYE time.

Forever obsessed with the Sørensen pack.

[Queen B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beta read.

Heat Haven Holidays is essentially one of my favorite things ever: extended epilogues. We get to visit all the characters from whole series: Emily, Liv, Cami, and Kelsey.

Minimal angst, with a lot of smut, and a whole lot of feelings. Heat Haven Holidays was an extremely satisfying ending to the series. Each family has their own dynamic but you get to see how everyone fits together like a puzzle piece.

I can’t pick a favorite (lies, it’s River) of the stories as each one was wonderful in its own way.

I’ll miss these characters but I can’t wait to see what else Sarah comes up with.
