Summary
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 romcom. Season’s Schemings is a closed-door/fade-to-black romance that includes mild language, innuendo, and tons of sizzle without the spice.

Loved this book. There were a few times I was even laughing out loud at things the characters said or did. Very cute, not “smutty” and a light read.

This just made my “Favorite books” list. It was laugh-out-loud funny (literally) and just charming. Loved it. This will be one I play again when I need to lift my spirits.

My favourite book from this author, hands down. The two characters are delightfully funny and their stories apart and separate are entertaining. You know it will work out for them but you laugh along at their banter and antics all the way. The narrators did a good job too, conveying the humour and the touching moments too.

No spoilers here. This was a fun quick listen. There wasn’t a whole lot to the plot, which was great because the author was able to deliver without overdoing it. It’s a very lighthearted story with minimal conflict or drama. The story stood by itself, it could’ve lasted a bit longer in my opinion. No lack in main character development, but I wish there might have been more with the sub characters. Maddie and Sebastian are so great together, there’s a genuineness about their feelings towards one another. The humor felt natural and there was a flirty banter that was nice too. Austin Rising was ok, but I wasn’t sold that his voice was the right fit for Sebastian’s character. Whereas for Maddie’s character, Melissa Moran hits it out of the park. She expresses and embraces Maddie’s silly quirks and softness. Overall, it was fun and I’d listen to it again!

I enjoyed this book and have listened to others by this author. In fact, I accidentally relistened to one and enjoyed it the second time around. Nice stories and good narrators.

This story was cute and SO funny. It might have been the most I’ve laughed out loud while listening to an audiobook. I loved the two main characters and it was just a comforting listen among all else. I will probably revisit this book every holiday season!

I loved this a bit goofy holiday hockey romance! The narrator I feel could fit the mmc a bit better but did a great female voice! I loved every minute of this book, and it skillfully avoided several tropes that I greatly dislike where most books wouldn’t have. The MMC is setting some crazy standards in this book, he was literally so incredible and never failed to stand up for the FMC, he really helped her on a number of levels, but foremost by boosting her confidence. I loved that

This was a fun, cozy, holiday listen full of humour, steam, swoon and a dash of family drama. I love a good revenge marriage of convenience. I enjoyed the fact that the conflict came from outside their relationship and it proved the strength of their connection. There were some great side characters who added an extra layer of humour to the story. Both narrators are new to me and they really brought out the humour and warmth in the story.

Felt a bit slow at first but I really got into it, but all in all it was a really sweet story. No smut which was refreshing. Did go on a bit at the end though, but still good.

A laugh out loud light read that put a smile on my face. I really enjoyed it. Have listened to nearly all of Katie Bailey's books now and this is definitely my favourite.

I enjoyed every second if this book. A must read. Narrators were great !

Profile Avatar Solymar G. Nov 2024

This was a feel good story, funny and flirty. Hands down a great book. No smut but heavy on the feels. It was a great length, it could’ve been longer and developed more- since so much happens in a short period of time- but also it was just enough! Now I want to see if there’s any stories on the other characters that debut because I need to know more. Austin Rising doing a Maddie voice was funny to me as well. I found myself laughing in the beginning when he would switch voices but overall didn’t take away from the story, it was just funny after hearing Mellisa play Maddie’s voice.
