About this listen

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.

Basically a Hallmark movie in book form. It was cute, but very predictable, and not much happened. Started out strong, but then it was very slow and dragged on.

This was really cute! Maddie is dumped on a TV show by her long time boyfriend. Sebastian is a hockey player who is a part of the team Maddie is working for now. When they find out they can help each other? All bets are off. He needs a way to fix his visa and she wants to make her ex jealous. I loved this book and it was the perfect Christmas read in December.

If I'm honest I don't do books with no spice, but this book had me interested the whole way and no 3rd act break up with the most cutest ending ever. Yeah count me in with this cute holiday book!

no spice, but so much fun

I enjoyed this book so much! It was the most perfect little romance book!!! But be careful I might make you want to break up with your boyfriend or husband and find an NHL player!!😂

This book was amazing!!

My first Katie Bailey book, and I really enjoyed it! Easy read, cute and fun— loved the revenge plot. Definitely heading right into the second book and will likely pick up her other connected books.

Very Cute

Great, quick listen, feel good book. Cheating, but not between MC’s, heat but no smut, no 3rd act breakup. Just a cute & funny holiday romance. I laughed out loud multiple times and ended the book with a smile on my face.

Fun Holiday Romance

I have read and loved every single Katie Bailey book.
For me, no one else compares to the quick pace of her heartfelt humor, and each book gets better and better. But THIS is the one that pushed me from looking forward to her books to being obsessed with them.

I laughed until tears poured over Seb and Maddie and developed a curious obsession with Jax at the same time.

Did she do that intentionally? I think so.😉

This book is closed door, but there's a lot of hysterical innuendo and quite honestly, it's my favorite. If you hate laughing or might be offended by heated moments in a pantry or hot tub between a technically married couple- this isn't for you.
But what a pity.😊



Voodoo cookies for anyone who upsets Seb's wife!

I’ve really grown to like Katie Bailey’s books. They make me happy. Maybe I was too distracted while listening to this one but it’s not my favorite. I thought it was missing something. The female narrator was great. The male was not awesome. His voices other than the male lead were kind of distracting to me.

Not my favorite KB

Absolutely adore this one! Seb is totally the man that Maddie deserved all along. Even when they were “faking it” they were so real with each other. I love Maddie’s brother and all of Seb’s teammates. I definitely want to see more of them! This one leaves me feeling happy!!

Hearing this story narrated absolutely brought the story to life. Their voices just made them that much more real to me. So good!

Seb & Maddies

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Maddie gets dumped and finds out her boyfriend is seeing someone else all on TV for the world to see. Shortly after, she finds out her parents are planning on spending Christmas with her ex’s new family, and yes, her ex and his new fiancee will be there. Maddie now has a job as a nutritionist for a professional hockey team, and while on the road in Vegas, drunkenly asks the team’s star to spend Christmas with her as her fake boyfriend. Only they take it a step further and since they are in Vegas, get married.

I enjoyed this book, but there wasn't anything in particular that stood out. It's clean, cute, and fun. The story is fast paced and spans quite a bit of time, which threw me off since they basically go from Thanksgiving to Christmas with hardly anything in between. My favorite part was the videos of the guys before the wedding. I loved how Sebastian pulled them all in to help. I would have loved more time with Maddie's friends, because it really seemed like she didn't have anyone on her side, but everything turned out perfect for them.

Both Melissa Moran and Austin Rising are new to me and I thought they did a good job. I wouldn't hesitate to grab one of their narrations again.

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You enjoy clean romances served with holiday goodness and a small slice of revenge.

Cute, simple, clean romance
