About this listen

A tyrant by day, a playboy by night. That's the reputation that precedes Richard VanRyan. He lives life the way he wants, no concern for the opinion of others. He cares for no one, is completely unrepentant, and has no desire to change his ways.

Katharine Elliott works under Richard as his PA. She despises him and his questionable ethics, but endures all the garbage he sends her way, because she needs the job. Her end goal is far more important than the daily abuse and demands she tolerates from her nasty tyrant of a boss. Until the day he asks her for something she never expected. A new role with a personal contract-fiancée instead of PA.

What happens when two people who loathe each other have to live together and act as though they are madly in love? Sparks. That's what happens.

Can the power of love really change a person?

Will they survive the contract?

What do you do when the one person you hate the most becomes the one person you can't live without?

Loved the story; clever and catchy. Would recommend. Only downside is the narration is a little dull but the story outweighs that.

Great storyline

The Contract is one of those books that doesn't take much attention to read. It's story is simple, and the characters aren't that complex either. Richard VanRyan, tyrant and playboy, entices his PA to fake being his wife so that he can land a job. What starts out as a simple business arrangement turns into something else for them both. The plot is predictable, but likeable, but there is a certain sexiness that is missing for me. It's all very sweet, but lacks passion.

Easy to read, but easy to put down as well
