Season's Schemings
Season's Schemings | Katie Bailey

‘Tis the season to get even…
When Maddie Grainger’s longtime boyfriend dumps her on TV for the entire world to see, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom.
Until her parents announce that they’re spending the holidays with her ex’s family… And he’ll be bringing the woman he left her for.
All Maddie wants for Christmas is to stick it to her cheating ex. But how?
Enter Sebastian Slater, the NHL’s most infamous player.
On a drunken night out in Vegas, Maddie asks the superstar athlete to pose as her new boyfriend. She’s kidding, mostly. But Seb shocks her by making a counter offer: he doesn’t want to date Maddie for the holidays… he wants to marry her.
Show up at her ex’s cabin alone, or with a surprise new hockey-playing husband? Maddie opts for the ultimate level up.
Because maybe, just maybe, revenge is a dish best served betrothed.
Sparks fly and Christmas cheer is abundant in this festive marriage of convenience rom com. Season’s Schemings is a closed door/fade to black romance that includes mild language, innuendo, and tons of sizzle without the spice.

Very cute marriage of convenience-- similar to The Proposal except they are actually married. Includes hockey and baking and kissing and Christmas.

Predictable, of course, but usually they are. 😊 I enjoyed it too much to care. I haven't read the other books in the series but they are on my to read list.

I read this for my book club at work, and it was a light, fun romcom. Maddie wants to get back at her ex-boyfriend to make him jealous. Her new friend Sebastian, who happens to be her ex-boyfriend's favorite hockey player, might just be the answer.

Mehso-so

The book started with a gruesome break up from the FMC's perspective and I was immediately invested.
In this case the build up leading to marriage of convenience was nicely done and somehow a tad more realistic for this genre.
There wasn't really a lot of fake dating between the love pair which was a bit disappointing.
The comedy aspect was not really there.
The epilogue felt more like the deserved HEA.
