Contract Season by Cait Nary
2.0
[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
Contract Season by Cait Nary is the second book in the Trade Season series. Brody Kellerman always has a set plan and follows it to the letter. He doesn’t plan on meeting Seamus “Sea” Murray and their instant attraction and resulting hook up. Both men have high profile careers and aren’t ready to come out so they go their separate ways with minimal intention of seeking each other out again. After a second run in causes a media storm the two are forced into a relationship to protect the future of their jobs. Lines start to blur as the relationship struggles and the two men are forced to acknowledge that maybe it’s not all that fake.
Brody Kellerman is so focused on trying to make up for the bad ending to his season before that he doesn’t realize how short and rude he came off to Sea initially. When he manages to try and make it up to the man, Sea struggles to trust that Brody isn’t just doing damage control under the guise of their fake relationship.
2 stars for Brody and Sea tolling away to see if there’s any truth in their fake relationship.

Spoiler
That being said I would say that more than ¾ of the book is spent with the two men questioning each other’s motives and no communication at all. Instead Sea drowns himself in booze and can only face talking to Brody drunk and Brody just pretends everything is fake to focus on his game. This became frustrating at half way and then by the 75% mark you started to not see a happy ending in sight for the two or if you even want one. That was kind of the kiss of death for me for this book because I am usually the MCs number one cheerleader for a HEA and I definitely didn’t feel this way with this book.2 stars for Brody and Sea tolling away to see if there’s any truth in their fake relationship.
