A Season for Seduction
NBA star and oil company heir Keylan “KJ” Kingsley is the ultimate player on and off the court. When a midgame scuffle leads to community service, he opts to devote his hours to his family’s cherished foundation.

Single mother Mia isn’t impressed by KJ’s wealth and fame. Her college sweetheart abandoned her—and their baby—to follow his hoop dreams. But KJ is a caring man beneath his superficial image, making an easy connection with her young son. Soon Mia plunges into a sensual relationship that ignites dreams of forever, until KJ returns to the court…and the headlines. Will the glare of celebrity blind them to the family that could be theirs by Christmas?

I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed An Unexpected Holiday Gift. This is my first book by the author and I am excited to read more by her. This book is the soft compromise of holiday spirit and realism that will appeal to people who don’t like over the top hokey holiday stories.
Mia has her heart broken plenty of times during the holiday season so she it is great that KJ helped warmed up her to the holidays. The only problem I had with the story is that Mia kept this constant wall up that interfere with her getting to know KJ. The constant tug of war became a bit tiring.
The family dynamic is strong. I low-key love Victoria, the matriarch, and her bossiness. I am interested in reading more about this family. Colby adds a specialness and thoughtfulness to the story. I really appreciated the author’s ability to use his special needs in a caring way.
Overall, if you are looking to get into the holiday spirit, then An Unexpected Holiday Gift is the perfect way to start.
