Season’s Schemings by Katie Bailey

Some of my *favorite* holiday movies are the ones where someone has to bring home a fake date for the holidays for whatever reason. So I was not surprised AT ALL that I enjoyed this story! The characters had great chemistry and I loved that it was dual POV so you knew just how smitten they both were. It had classic Katie Bailey humor all throughout with sweet tender moments, too. I also loved how the entire hockey team got involved. It reminded me of the similar camaraderie in The Cheat Sheet by @authorsarahadams! Also, this story is extra special because I got to help Katie with an extra round of proofing for grammar/typos and I’m even mentioned in the Acknowledgements section!

BLURB
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.
