Love Contract follows Theo whose only dream is to open her own restaurant. However, for now, she's working for a billionaire who is a pain to deal with. Her life is changed when a person she hasnt' seen since high school, Sullivan Rivas, blackmails her to pretend to date to try to get both of them ahead. But what's fake can start to feel real very fast.
I love Sophie Lark's book so much and I am so happy she is in her fake dating era! This book is one that I absolutelly adored. I really love the relationships that Sophie creates not just in the romantic sense but in the sense of all the characters.
Theo and Sully's relationship was so special to watch grow. They both have been through some tough times and I LOVED that Sully didn't see Theo as a "weird geek" that everyone else did in high school but loved her for who she was. He did what he could to maker sure she stayed happy including buying the most expensive ingredients for her to cook with to make her smile.
I also adored Theo's relationship with Sully's dad. I just loved seeing how much she was able to pull him out of the troublesome hole he found himself in and how she was able to reapri his and his son's relationship.
I am so excited to read the next book when it came out. If you are looking for a great fake dating romance, I would highly recommend picking this up.

Live, Laugh, Love... Sophie Lark

I actually really loved this book. I fell in love with Theo and Sully so quickly it was crazy. Before this, I was a fake dating hater, but this made me a convert. The aesthetic and vibe of this book was SO good. I think this is such a good summer read and the backdrop of sunny California was perfect. I was instantly swept into the setting and quickly fell in love with the Rivas family.

Something that disappointed me was that some things were never completely explained, but those things were so minor in comparison to the rest of the great things in this book that I can overlook that.
