This was a wonderful way to tie the proverbial bow on the story of the Boys of Brighton and introduce us to the men of The Gates. This book gave the reader an opportunity to catch up with all of the wonderful characters. The town is preparing for Johnny and Gabe’s wedding on Christmas Eve and the men are all settling into their lives with their partners. With the exception of the chapters involving Johnny’s brother Saint, the book reads more like a lovely collection of epilogues rather than a cohesive novel. Also, there were a few editing issues, but it did not take anything away from my enjoyment of the story.

BEST way to end a series, EVER! Great wrapup to the series. We get to see how everyone is doing at the point of Gabe and Johnny’s wedding. We can see the change and growth that results in happy couples. The emotional battles everyone fought, helped create a cloak of gratitude and appreciation. We also got our questions answered. Ms Tasia, always does an excellent job setting up a community and all the participants. She excels in creating the synergy needed for a good story. Excellent story, well done!

This is the final book in the Boys of Brighton series. Each chapter reflects on each of the couples and how they are holding up after everything they have been through over the last year. Wonderful way to end the series and start the next with Johnny’s brother Saint.
One of the best series I have read by far. M Tasia has a way of drawing you into her stories and making you feel like you are part of it. Each story was based on different couples who found each other in a small town in Texas called Brighton. Each couple had their own fears to face, challenges to overcome and demons to fight. While each book is a standalone, I highly recommend reading each book in order so you know who each of the characters are as they show up in all the stories. If only there could be real towns like Brighton in the real world, then things would be so much easier and happier. Great series and I am looking forward to reading more from M Tasia.

This is a great epilogue type of book that wraps up the stories from the rest of The Boys of Brighton books. Very sweet low angst and a treat for people like me who always want to know what happens next.

What a Way to End a Series…and Introduce a New One!
One thing I’ve stated in many of my reviews is that I absolutely LOVE book series that focus on families or groups of people who may as well be. Why? I am a sucker for becoming invested in their happily-ever-afters and then getting to “catch up” with beloved characters in later books to see what their lives have become since their book came to The End. That was certainly the appeal with M. Tasia’s Boys of Brighton series for me, and all I can say about the tenth and final installment entitled “The Holidays” is that it is an absolute gift to devoted fans. This book follows every last wonderful family member in the series: Gabe and Johnny; Dante, Spider, and Sam; Bear and Rick; Royce and Jesse; Coop and Matthew; Bo and Travis; Ben and Grady; Vincent and Tristan; and Shadow and Randy – not to mention the White Hair Crew, Shannon from the Sentinels, and the introduction of Johnny’s older brother, Saint (who is “headlining” Tasia’s new Gates of Heaven series). It seems fitting that the book would be an update of each couple (or triad in one case) leading up to the opening of the community center Safe HAVEN and the Christmas Eve wedding of Gabe and Johnny. This whole, gigantic, crazy, loving cast is set to celebrate the love and sense of family that has been infused into the series from Page One of “Gabe,” and it has been a treasure to read. I am not ashamed to say that I was a bit weepy and nostalgic reading this one because it is such a lovely tribute and wrap-up to a wonderfully written series. Love is love. Period. Thank you, M. Tasia!

Weddings and holidays always have a way of bringing people together. For Johnny and Gabe, it was the perfect bookend to share their growing love and forever after.
We get to experience what happens with all the couples who’ve consumed a part of our lives for the duration of his series. Their roads to romance weren’t easy, but so worth the end results.
They’ve all come so far and it was truly a joy reading about them.

The Holidays (Boys of Brighton Book 10) by M. Tasia. What a great ending to a good series, this installment we get ready for Johnny and Gabe’s wedding along with their adoption. Holiday is in the air as we get little snippets of the rest of the gang and their HEAs along with new character set up for upcoming series featuring Saint.

This was a fantastic ending to the Boys of Brighton Series. It gave an insight into every ones’ lives as they came together for the holidays. The happiness at finding their happily ever after and to be living it. Each chapter gave a window into how each couple was doing and also opened our eyes to the the series that spins off of this series by introducing us to Saint. I honestly can’t wait to dive into that series. I loved this work and being able to see all the familiar faces again was a nice treat at the end of the series.
Five out of five stars.

The Holidays is the tenth book in the Boys of Brighton series by M. Tasia. This is a contemporary m/m romance that gives a update on all the characters we have met in this series and Fallen in love with. Sweetness, sexiness, mystery, and humor… this is such a fun treat for readers who enjoyed the Boys of Brighton series… and it gives a few surprises. I love that its told from multiple points of view.
