if you don’t respect yourself enough to fight for what’s yours, everyone’ll just walk all over you. The first time asserting yourself is the hardest. But it gets easier.” Sebastian and Lucianne first met when they were younger. Sebastian was in his early twenties and Lucianne when she is a teenager. The encounter is what emboldens Lucianne to battle the best against her family and not let their shenanigans win over her desire to claim what is hers and to hold her own against such betrayals living in a house of snakes that only want her money and nothing else. Now its been years later and Lucianne has never forgotten the man that gave her wise advice and when her fiancee is found cheating on her with her sister who has been her enemy since she was a teenager, there is one man that she would marry and makes a offer to his family. But what she doesn't know is that Sebastian's family forces him into a loveless marriage, and he vows for revenge against those that would force him into such a agreement. But as Sebastian and Lucianne come together in their marriage, there is an outside force working to undermine them but will they discover the culprit or will their marriage suffer the betrayals and secrets that are ahead for them? Enjoyable MOC story where for a change the heroine wants the MOC so she can meet the ridiculously antiquated terms of her grandfather's will that will allow her to be CEO of the business. She strong arms the H into the marriage (even though she sweetened the deal with a business to toss him) and he holds a grudge but falls for her. The heroine isn't a little wimpy type and stays pretty stoic until the bitter end and it gets too much for her. The one thing I’ll criticise is after seeing Lucienne for her true self Sebastian was still going along with his plan which didn’t make sense because if you can see she’s not what you thought she was and your falling for her why carry on it doesn’t make sense but I’m gonna let that slide because come on the MAN CRAWLED ON HIS KNEES FOR HER definitely the highlight of the book 🤩 I try not to snort. He doesn’t watch the news—thinks it’s boring—and his family apparently hasn’t updated him about my new status. Maybe they disowned him. Wouldn’t that be great?

I expected to be bored, marriage of convenience usually only works for me in mafia books but oh the feels in this one❤ got me straight in the heart and made me just want to smother the h in love.

What I really liked is that we got the story to start with these two characters meeting when they are young and just learning about themselves and their own strengths. We see them then as adults taking charge of their families companies and doing what is necessary to maintain control over their own lives. Both Sebastian and Lucianne come from families that are determined to control them but both of them have such passionate warrior hearts willing to do whatever it takes to be independent from their families desires for them and forge their own paths. They are much more alike than either of them realize.

Contractually Yours is a intellectually superb romance that delivered with so much heart, tenacity and compelling writing that left me yearning for more from this author! So based on that, I presumed Lucienne—no, no, no, I’ll be damned if I call her Lucienne like a stranger when that ex-boyfriend of hers is Lucie-ing her like they still have something going on” 🥵😮‍💨 Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.This book started off typically in the sense of the mcs needing an arranged marriage for "reasons" .

I can’t? Oh, that’s too bad.” I tighten my hold on Sebastian, pressing my side against his. “’Cause I kinda already did.” I extend my left hand, so Preston can see my gorgeous Toi et Moi ring and the wedding band. I thoroughly enjoyed this book - it’s was such a fun read from beginning to end. I loved that there wasn’t a lot of drama between Lucienne and Sebastian until the end, and most of it was them against their families. They make such a great team! I started this for the grovel and it wasn’t long grovelling which was disappointing but it was an entertaining read. I couldn’t stop once I started, but this book wasn’t amazing imho, at points things were a lil overexaggerated and dramatic. I really liked Luce, I felt bad for her since she dealt with so much shit, she’s a misunderstood ice queen. Sebastian was immature and stupid but he was sweet, he wasn’t your typical cold CEO. I found that both Sebastian and Luce's POVs sounded exactly the same which I hated. I did find it weird that they met when she was 14 and he was 23, it was one brief interaction. They meet again 11 years later after that one interaction and he doesn’t remember her but it’s still weird sorry.
