empezó muy bien. me estaba encantando cómo escribe la autora y la evolución de la relación de los personajes, pero el último cuarto lo he sentido muy repetitivo y demasiado pasteloso (en serio, demasiado). el lenguaje también me ha parecido un poco raro a veces hacia el final, y es que hasta parecían dos libros completamente diferentes

After failing to get a much sought after promotion, Richard Van Ryan, as an attempt to get back at his boss, decides he is going to switch over to the competing company. The only problem is the competing company is very family oriented and knows of his reputation as a playboy. In order to rework his image he hires his well-liked, perfect seeming, personal assistant to act as his financé.
Honestly, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed The Contract. I don't need my romance novels to be particularly realistic when it comes to the premise, the one thing I want to believe is the chemistry between the characters, and their feelings for each other. I think The Contract was successful as a slow burn romance and I really liked that Richard wasn't particularly attracted to Katy from the get go and that his attraction to her built up slowly over time, as someone who identifies as demisexual, I related a lot to that. I also enjoyed that the majority of the novel took place in Richard's head, as opposed to Katy's, I really love getting the hero's perspective. As for my cons, this just got way to cheesy for me in the end and I thought the last few chapters dragged quite a bit. The writing could also have been stronger, but overall really enjoyable read.

The way Richard treats Katherine at the beginning is nothing short of cruel! However, he needs her to land the job he wants and during that time he realises she is not who he thought she was. It is a classic fake turned real romance done well.
