Contractually Yours-Release Blitz, Excerpt and Review!!

 BLURB

Jewelry heiress Lucienne Peery needs a husband in order to take full control of her company and arranges for a mutually beneficial marriage. When she catches her fiancé in bed with her sister, she demands to marry his older brother instead. And his family agrees to avoid handing over 30% of their own company for breaking the marriage contract.

She only plans to stay married until her control is firmly established. But she does the unthinkable and falls in love with her husband...

When the ruthless and iron-willed Sebastian Lasker is forced to marry a woman fully as scandalous as his embarrassing, disreputable father, he vows revenge. Nobody manipulates him and gets away with it. He’s going to strip her of what she wants from the marriage and get rid of her.

But pride and fortune aren’t the only things at stake as he realizes he can’t let her go...

Contractually Yours is full of a yummy arranged marriage, dislike-to-love, forced proximity, my wife moments, man-grovel and a happy ending.

 My Review:

My Rating: 4 Stars

Lucienne needs a husband in order to gain control of her grandfather's company due to some outdated rules about female owners need to be married or over 30 in order run the company themselves. She will do nothing to stop her from running Peery Diamonds even if she has to arrange a marriage. After finding her fiancé in bed with her sister, Lucienne demands she marry his older brother or they will lose 30% of their company. Sebastian is sick of having to clean up his family's mess, but this time he's going to get revenge. As Sebastian and Luce co-exist they realize the other might not be exactly who they thought they were when agreed to this plan and as the two spend time together the lines get more and more blurred between them.

I enjoyed this book and the small cameos of Sebastian's half brothers making appearances. This book can be read as a standalone, but it is fun watching all of the brother's falling for their women. I also loved how she tied in other characters from her other books in this one besides the brothers. I felt so much empathy for Luce. She's just trying to be successful and live her life but one thing after another just keeps trying to push her down, but she keeps standing up! If your looking for a arranged marriage, dislike at first, sexy, funny story then this book is for you.

EXCERPT

 My ex gives me a once-over and smirks. “Oh, I get it. Looking for a husband.”

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?

He continues, “I don’t know why you waste your time like this. Look, I’m happy to let it go if you’ll just see the light and change your mind about our—”

“Don’t hold your breath.” He’s dumber than I thought, bringing up the engagement when I still can’t find enough mind bleach to erase seeing him with my sister.

“There you are,” comes Sebastian’s voice from behind me. “Oh, hello, Preston.”

When he stops next to me, I put my arm around his waist. “What perfect timing.” I smile up at him.

He gives me a mildly curious look, but wraps an arm around my shoulders.

See? This is what you get when you’re with a smart man. He knows the role you’d like him to play without your having to spell it out. The fact that he’s willing to play along without some prior commitment to reciprocate warms my heart. So many people want something first before doing anything for me.

Preston’s brow knits as he takes in the tableau. “You guys are together?”

I triple the wattage of my smile. “Preston, have you met my husband, Sebastian Lasker?”

“What?” His shout rings in the wide-open space. “You can’t marry him!”

“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.

Sebastian flashes his as well. Man, we make a great team.

Preston blinks rapidly, his eyes fixed on our hardware. Finally, he jerks his head up, his face blotchy. “Why would you want him when you could have me?”

“Seriously? Are you blind?” I ask.

“I can see well enough to know those diamonds are tiny compared to the one I was going to give you!” He points at my finger.

I drop my gaze to his crotch for a second before lifting it back up. “His is both bigger and better than yours.”

Preston looks like he just got punched in the face by Mike Tyson. Sebastian shakes against me in silent laughter.

“What’s so funny?” Preston snarls.

“You.” Sebastian lets the laugh out. “You’re third-rate comedy, but at least you’re entertaining.” He wipes tears from his eyes.

Preston turns to me. “You bitch! It’s all your fault he’s mocking me!”

Sebastian steps forward, pulling away from my arm around his waist, as the mirth melts from his face. “Watch your tone if you want to keep your teeth. Nobody talks to my wife with disrespect.”

I pat his back a few times, to let him know it isn’t necessary for him to react like this. Part of me is flattered and moved that he’s defending me, but another part feels a bit unworthy of his protection because… Well, I did force him to marry me.

Preston slashes the air with his arm. “She’s my fiancée!”

“She was. You call my wife your fiancée again, and I’ll break your face.”

My Review:
My Rating: 4.5 Stars

Aspen and Grant dated in college until a series of events pushes the two away from each other. 14 years later Aspen gets hired as an assistant, only it's for Grant. A lot of resentment still lingers between the two. Grant is determined to get Aspen to quit, but Aspen needs the money to pay for her grandpa's care. Will they be able to let go of the past?

Honestly, I really liked this book. There was a lack of communication that hurt the duo, but it was believable because it preyed on their insecurities. I thought their were clues to other things the author forgot about later in the book or she just chose a different direction for the story. This was a long book, however I didn't feel as if it was repetitive. I loved that the first part of the book showed Aspen and Grant in college. It showed how they met and how they fell in love and then the misunderstanding that ended up ending them as a couple before going 14 years in the future. I loved seeing the different relationships Aspen and Grant had with their families and how that shaped them into the people they were today. There was also some cameos of Grant's brothers and some quick wit in the story. If you are looking for a enemies to romance to enemies second chance story this book is for you.


Keep reading for a look inside The Ex I’d Love to Hate!

Thinking of time and sanity reminds me of the redhead from two days ago. Aspen Hughes was in a ratty T-shirt and faded denim shorts. No makeup or fancy hairdo. But I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she placed her hands on her hips and demanded I do the group paper, her moss-green eyes flashing. Sadie seemed like a lifeless prop by comparison.

That doesn’t really explain it, though. My usual taste is girls with toned bodies who are relaxed and carefree. A girl wound tightly enough to chase me to the polo field and call me an asshole over some dumb project neither of us is going to remember in a month is definitely not my type. Even if she does have curves more fitting for a Vegas stripper than a college kid. That body could revive a corpse, and my dick obviously isn’t immune because it’s getting hard at the thought of her.

It’s not the body, my gut whispers. I’ve been around women who were even hotter. It’s just…Aspen looked at me like I was an annoying pest, which people simply do not do. They’re too impressed by my parents—and their fame—to notice or care that I don’t like or respect them. I shouldn’t put too much significance into her actions, though. She probably doesn’t know who my parents are. Once she finds out, she’ll smile and gaze up at me like I’m some kind of minor deity, like everyone else.

Marrying My Billionaire Boss- Review!!


Marrying My Billionaire Boss by Nadia Lee
Release Date: January 10, 2020

BLURB

A bachelor auction, a wedding we don't remember, and a baby we don't recall making. FML.

I had a plan: move to LA, get a job, find the love of my life. Live happily ever after.

I was on track for this when being an assistant to gorgeous billionaire philanthropist Nate Sterling suddenly gets a whole lot more complicated. It's a dream job…until he asks me to save him from a fur-bikini-wearing, totally psycho ex-girlfriend who is determined to win him at a charity bachelor auction.

All I have to do is outbid her at the auction. Easy, right? But nobody told me Nate and I had to go on an extravagant Las Vegas date afterward. Everything goes off as planned…until Nate and I wake up the next day, hung-over, wearing identical golden wedding bands and with no memory of what happened the night before.

Cue major hyperventilation.

But it's okay. Nothing that a quick marriage dissolution can't solve… Until the pregnancy test stick comes back with two pink lines.

Marrying My Billionaire Boss is a standalone romantic comedy with a sexy billionaire, his sassy assistant, a bachelor auction, a Vegas wedding and a surprise baby. Oh, and the most hilarious and sweet proposal scene ever. No cheating, no cliffhanger. Just lots of heat, heart and humor. Grab it today!

My Review:
My Rating: 4.5 stars


Nate enters a bachelor auction to help one of his friends out, after all it should be okay right? The money is going to a good cause. Until he runs into his crazy ex who tells him she will bid whatever it takes to win him. Nate begs his assistant Evie to buy him, no matter what the cost he will pay for it. The only issue is that now they have to take the date to Las Vegas. The next morning they wake up married with no memory of how it happened.

I adored Nate. He was the perfect example of sweet and alpha. He has always liked Evie and tries his hardest to get her to notice him as more than just his boss. Evie is oblivious to how Nate feels about her, especially after a bad relationship she left before she started working for Nate so she definitely tries everything in her power to keep herself professional around him. That all starts to fly out the window when they wake up married to each other.

This was just a well written romantic comedy. It had great dialogue, some sexy scenes, and a dash of craziness. I loved how Nate treated Evie and did everything he could to make her happy. The side characters also added their own charm. This was my first book by Nadia Lee and it definitely won't be my last.
