I think this is one of the best fake-dating books that I have read. The push-pull between the two main characters, learning how to be a couple while not actually being a couple, just felt so realistic. Watching Brody & Sea fight hurt, but watching them figure it out made me fall in love with falling in love. There is less hockey than in Cait Nary's first book, but more of the city setting shines through in this one.

Would've liked this book a lot more if Sea's character hadn't been so awful. Whiney. Wishy washy. All angst and no communication skills.
Contract Season is the second book in the Trade Season series by Cait Nary. Hockey player, Brody Kellerman is on the heels of a breakup when he meets the up-and-coming country music star, Seamus Murry at a wedding. A fierce flirtation leads to a hot one-night stand before they part ways. But with a rising start comes unwanted attention, and when a video of them together hits the newsfeed, their lives change forever.
Neither one of them ever imagined being out while they were still in the spotlight, but when their best solution is to fake being in a relationship, they're forced to spend more time with each other than they ever considered before. And with every new interaction, they slowly chip away at the others walls until their fake relationship leads to some very real emotions.
The first book in this series was magical and tugged on my heartstrings, and while this one didn't have quite as strong an impact, it was still a really beautiful story of love and taking chances.
Brody's steady consistency is something that has always been lacking in Sea's life and Sea's charm and passion is something that Brody really needs in his controlled life. They're opposites who clash one too many times before finally finding that they very much need the other in their life.
With an angsty, passionate, slow burn, this romance is less a romance and more a journey of finding oneself and their place in life while also finding their person. It's frustrating, hard and painful at times, but when they click and flow, it leads to something truly wonderful.
Cait Nary writes a lovely story mixing the hockey world with the glitzy country music world and puts two people together who are complete opposites in a situation where they just might get the exact change they need. I look forward to seeing what else this author comes up with next!
