My review:
Maddie (25) & Seb (27) meet when she’s crying in the men’s bathroom. Flash forward a bit and he needs a wife in order to keep playing hockey and she wouldn’t mind making her ex jealous by marrying his favorite hockey player of all time.
This was really adorable. I loved them together from the start. Even though they were married already, their growing feelings for each other seemed realistic. Iām so happy there wasnāt any 3rd act drama! Whoop whoop!! This is a series that I would continue for sure.
Narration notes:
They both did a fine job overall. Austin could work on his lady voice though.

Book blurb:
āTis the season to get evenā¦
When Maddie Graingerās longtime boyfriend dumps her on TV for the entire world to see, she thinks sheās hit rock bottom.
Until her parents announce that theyāre spending the holidays with her exās familyā¦ And heāll 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 NHLās most infamous player.
On a drunken night out in Vegas, Maddie asks the superstar athlete to pose as her new boyfriend. Sheās kidding, mostly. But Seb shocks her by making a counter offer: he doesnāt want to date Maddie for the holidaysā¦ he wants to marry her.
Show up at her exās 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. Seasonās Schemings is a closed door/fade to black romance that includes mild language, innuendo, and tons of sizzle without the spice.
