[Blog Tour + Review] The Scramble by Kristen Proby

 

Maddie and Dylan heat up Iceland for Christmas!

The Scramble, an all-new heroine scrooge meets hero Mr. Christmas, opposites attract romance from NYT bestselling author KristenProby, is out now!


ABOUT THE BOOK.

There are two things you need to know about me. 1: I’m never late. And 2: I hate Christmas. Yes, I’m a girl who hates the holidays.

My entire, enormous family is already enjoying their holiday vacation in Iceland, but thanks to my busy job and having to meet them there, I’m late. They could have chosen any holiday to fly across the world, but Christmas won, which sent me scrambling because the end of the year is my busiest time. It’s difficult to carve out moments to see the family at all.

So, now, I’m forty thousand feet in the air, trying to get to Iceland before Christmas morning, all while also attempting to get some work done. If only the hot guy next to me would leave me be.

Dylan says I should put the work away until after my holiday and relax a bit. And while his suggestion of spending some time together on the north Atlantic island seems preposterous, I can’t help but feel intrigued when he promises to show me how to enjoy the Yuletide season properly.

After all, I can’t possibly spend every minute with my family.

But how do I just shrug off my duty to my job and throw caution to the wind for a stranger...no matter how handsome he is? Because that’s something else about me: I never throw caution to the wind—even a beautiful, blustery Icelandic wind.

Then again, Mama always said, “Never say never…”

READ AN EXCERPT.

“Okay, this is going to be the craziest story I’ve ever told you, and you can’t tell the cousins.”
She blinks at me in surprise. “All right. Give it to me.”
“I didn’t know him until I got on that airplane. And then we fucked in the bathroom.”
She just keeps blinking. “On the airplane?”
“Yes.”
I chew my bottom lip, waiting for her response.
“I know people talk about it all the time but is that even possible? I mean, they’re so small.”
“You don’t need much room.” I smile to myself, hearing Dylan’s words echoing in my head.
“Oh, I like that smile.” She sits up, crosses her legs, and then hugs the pillow to her chest. “I like it a lot. That’s a satisfied smile.”
“Yeah, well, it was fun.”
“Did you just say fun?”
“If you say a word about me not being fun, I’ll come over there and break your nose.”
“You always were violent. I’d say you got it from Dad, but despite being a former SEAL, he might be the gentlest human alive. Okay, so, there were airplane shenanigans.”
“Yes.”
“What else?”
“He just flirted with me, practically the whole flight. And he’s nice. Which is weird.”
“I know they seem to be fewer and fewer these days, but there are nice guys out there.”
“Yeah, well, we seem to be related to ninety percent of them. Anyway, I don’t know much about Dylan other than what he does for a living and that the sex is beyond anything I’ve ever had before.”
“Honey, as a woman well into her thirties, it’s about damn time. I’m glad we talked you into staying the week. Now, you can hang out with Dylan more. Have a vacation fling. If that’s all it is, it’s still time well spent.”
“Huh. I never considered a vacation fling.”

This is Maddie and Dylan’s story. Maddie is all on her way to see her family at Christmas. While she loves her family, she absolutely hates Christmas. Lots of people consider her a workaholic. She is working while on the way to see her family when the person next to her keeps bugging her about relaxing. Dylan is drawn to Maddie and wants her to see that there is more to life than working. Can he show her what else she could be doing with her time? Or will she blow him off to work? Can she really do other things instead of work? Can she figure out what is more important to her before she loses something she might not be able to get back?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

Kristen Proby is back with a brand new half-ish book in her Single on Seattle series and y'all, this was such a good book right here. The perfect addition to this new spin off series from one of my faves and a fast read you could gobble up in just a few short hours.

The Scramble gives us Maddie and Dylan's story and this is one not to be missed. Sweet, sexy, swoony, quick, and packed with allllll of the feels.. I devoured this beauty whole and have zero regrets. And a bonus, you get to see many blasts from the past with so many recurring characters... absolute swooooooon.

I'm always down to read a 1001 Dark Nights book from some of my favorite authors because we always, always get a character I've been dying to read more about.

I highly recommend this beaut right here, especially if you haven't met Kristen yet.
