Synopsis

Players gotta play.

Hate is like a poison. It contaminates everything.

So does doubt.

Even though I deny what I overheard, even though I insist it isn’t true, the seed of doubt has been planted. I can’t help but be tormented with the endless what-if’s that have taken over our lives.

Romeo and I were happy in love. The future stretched before us brighter than any star in the darkest sky. Now everything is broken. Literally broken. Romeo’s entire career is at stake, my entire future is threatened… and my past?

It’s coming back to haunt me.

To haunt us.

Romeo says we’re in this together and right now the only sure thing is us. But how far can a love so new be pushed? The lengths we will have to go to save each other puts everything at risk.

Romeo is a #player but how much of the game can one person play?

Michel’s Review

I am a huge fan of Cambria Hebert’s books.  Each and every book has kept me glued to the pages.  Her books always have a special blend of genres with characters that are larger than life.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the  #Hashtag series.  The synopsis seemed different from what we have come to expect from Cambria’s books.  I thought that this was going to be more of a new adult romance that focused on college campus life (which I love).  I was not expecting some romantic suspense to be added to the mix.  I wasn’t expecting Romeo.  Romeo has stolen my heart! Talk about a swoon worthy book boyfriend, Romeo has it in spades!

Rimmel is more than your average #Nerd.  She has come to Alpha University not only to gain an education but also to escape her past in Florida.  She keeps to herself, stays ahead of her assignments, and lives for her volunteer work at the animal shelter.  She has trouble socializing with her fellow students.  The only place she feels free to be herself is with her furry four legged friends.  But that is about to change when she is forced to tutor the star quarterback and notorious player, Romeo.  She is dreading dealing with the campus manwhore but in order to keep her scholarship she has to deal with it.

At first the tutoring sessions start out as expected.  Romeo is more interested in his conquests and football.  Rimmel is counting the minutes for each tutoring session to end.  These two unlikely people are forced to spend time with one another.  In the end they will both discover that they may just have more in common than they thought.  The will discover that they both have many layers.  They will discover love for the first time.

Meanwhile throughout the book Romeo is rushing for the top Fraternity on campus.  His commitment to rushing will take him to an all time low.  He will be challenged to do things that he has always considered wrong.  When the final challenge crosses the line and threatens to hurt Rimmel he will have choices to make.

Not only is Romeo having to chose between status, image, and his quest to join the fraternity, he has unknowingly made a very lethal enemy.

The opening for the #Hashtag series is thrilling.  The journey that Romeo and Rimmel make in this semester is life changing for them both.  The love they have found for one another is unexpected.  Can they hang onto their love with all the expectations of sports, social status, academics, and their different backgrounds? Will Romeo’s enemy destroy everything they both hold dear? We will find out in #Hater.

#Hater – Book 2

The effect of that look lingered, like an unspoken promise, long after it was gone.

Becoming a couple – becoming the other half of a campus celebrity wasn’t easy. I let down walls guarding my heart and he looked past my glasses and accident prone tendencies. Romeo and I are an unlikely match, a #nerd and a jock. But we made it.

And we’re happy.

Zach doesn’t want us to be happy. He wants Romeo to pay for getting him kicked out of Omega and for the night he spent in jail. He’s going to use anything and everything he can to get his revenge. Including me.

As the weather on campus grows cold and the days become dark, revenge becomes the center of someone’s life and the happiness Romeo and I worked so hard for is threatened.

I can’t help but worry that our love is going to be overshadowed by hate.

Michel’s Review

Rimmel and Romeo are settling into their relationship.  Rimmel is becoming more confident and comfortable with herself.  Romeo is moving on beyond what his social status requires.

Rimmel and Romeo are the couple that has become campus celebrities.  Their every move is watched, tweeted,and  posted by all.  They are the stars that shine brightly.

Everything seems to be going well for them.  Their relationship is growing.  Romeo’s family is accepting Rimmel.  Rimmel is building friendships and other relationships outside of the animal shelter.  There is one thing that casts a dark shadow on their happiness.

Zach about ruined their relationship in #Nerd.  He forced Romeo to quit rushing for the Omega Fraternity.  He underestimated Romeo’s wits and tenacity.  He underestimated Romeo’s power.  Romeo has destroyed Zach’s status as the president of Omega.  His influence has turned his brothers against him.  Now he is going to destroy Romeo and Rimmel.  He is out for blood.

As Zach’s vendetta escalates to the point of terror, Romeo and Rimmel will have other things coming at them from other parts of their lives.  Both are enough to tear them apart and ruin their futures.  Will they be able to overcome these adversities?

One moment of terror will destroy their hope for the future.  It looks like Zach has had his final revenge that will destroy the rest of their lives.  How can they overcome this?  To make matters worse, Rimmel’s past is coming to haunt her.  Secrets are being revealed that she may never be able to overcome.

What happens next?  Cliffhanger!  I cannot wait to get my hands on #Player, book 3, on March 9, 2015.

#Hater was consuming.  I could not put this book down.  I loved how Romeo handled everything.  I loved how he brought out the best in Rimmel and gave her courage to be herself.  I loved that Rimmel saw Romeo as more than a jock.

This couple will steal your heart!
