‘What can I say, I loved this book. It has all my favorite tropes. Fake dating – check! Grumpy/ sunshine (reversed) check! One bed – check!’ Reader review
When you can’t find the perfect date for the holidays you hire him!
Hotshot lawyer Rebecca Madison is dreading the annual family Thanksgiving break where the question on everyone’s lips will be ‘why are you still single?’.
When it comes to her career, she’s the best of the best, hired for her take-no-prisoners approach and sharp instincts. But when it comes to her love life…well, she hasn’t found the loophole for happy ever after yet.
So when she has a one night stand with a gorgeous stranger she meets in a bar, Becca decides to do what she does best: make a deal with Mr One Night to be her Mr Right (just for the holidays).
With an iron-clad contract setting out the terms for their fake relationship, Becca has one important point. Clause 1.a. No kissing, no sex (as mind-blowing as it was), and absolutely no emotional attachment!
But five thousand miles from home and spending every waking moment in the company of a man who makes her feel things she’s never felt before, just how easy will it be for Becca to stick to her own rules…

Summary
Love Under Contract by Cassie Connor was a fun, witty, steamy romantic comedy. The author could not have created a better match in this couple. Well done Cassie. And I just realized this is her debut novel. Definitely an author to watch if you like your romantic comedies on the steamy side. Admittedly, I assumed by the cover that sex would be behind closed doors. Absolutely not, we start the book with a hookup in a bar and what Rebecca thinks is a one night stand.
Rebecca is the buttoned up lawyer fighting for her success in a male dominated world. Hudson is carefree and knows just how to get under her skin and she ends up having a great time. We get our HEA but the author will take you for an adventure before we get there.
Romance - several steamy scenes
Language - the F word is used over 90 times
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
