    • fake marriage by contract
Richard was more than a grumpy boss - he was a nighmare. I couldn't believe how he treated Katy like she was his persosnal whipping boy. She stayed with the job because she earned more money working for him because he was so hard to work for and she needed the money to pay to pay for care for the lady who raised her. Not getting the partnership he felt should have been his he decides to try to get a job with another advertising agency owned by the man his boss hates. He has to make him believe he has changed and is now a different man now that he was engaged. He hired Katy to be his pretend girl friend and complete the deception. As they spend time together things change for him. He sees she isn't the push over he thought when she stands up to him. When he gets the contract he wants his world blows up because Katy leaves him. I laughed and cried, touched by the very different lives these two people lived. It was interesting learning why each viewed the world because of the way they way had been raised and the trauma they had been through. When Richard realizes he is in love with Katy he knows his life will be nothing without her. The biggest change came about when he met Penny the lady who raised Katy. Getting to see what it was like to be loved when he had never experienced it made a profound change. Although I felt sometimes the story dragged a little and some scenes were too long I enjoyed this and the sequel. ... show more

    • Grumpy , sunshine, fake relationship romance
Only Melanie can make us dislike a character and then fall in love with him. This story is very emotional, enemies to lovers. Fake relationship , office romance. It is a beautifully written story that draws you in and you can’t put it down. Katy and Richard are the couple everyone is rooting for. She is exactly what he needed in his life. I am so happy there is a lot more of this story read. 💗 ... show more

    • I bought this book in 2016 but just now read it!
I'm late to this book. I was on FB and someone posed the question, "What is your favorite romance book?" One lady answered, "The Contract." When I looked it up on Amazon imagine my surprise when I had already purchased it (on Kindle) but didn't download it. I remedied that quickly and started the book. What an absolute joy to read. It is a true love story. Believable characters and story line. The dialogue was spot on. Can a person change their ways? Absolutely and love the way to do it. I have finished book 2 and now starting on book 3. I wouldn't change in a word! A hidden gem I have had for 7 years and didn't know it! ... show more

    • Fake love to real love 💖
The Contract The Contract Series #1 Melanie Moreland ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve had this book sitting in my kindle for awhile, and I do love an alpha pretend marriage story, so I jumped in and I’m so glad I did, this story holds everything I love in a book. Alpha and as*hole Richard VanRyan, is the ultimate bad boy, but not in the sleep around sense, he’s mean and horrible and it’s personal assistant Katharine who wears his wrath on a daily bases, I seriously wanted to punch him, really hard. He’s demanding, degrading but bloody good at his job, until he’s passed up for Partner at Anderson Inc. a very affluent advertising company. He needs a new plan an out of the toxic place he calls work – this comes in the form of a job at Gavin Group, the kind of goodie two shoes of advertising. They’re all family, a very close knit communal bunch, but Richard’s known around the traps and this includes, owner Graham Gavin. With his way into the new company, Richard needs to change his personal appearance, not his good looks, or his work ethic, those are stellar, it is his personal life, he needs a fiancé, needs the family look….. enter PA Katharine Elliott. Little is known about the quiet PA who is payed well due to Richards “difficult demands“, she keeps to herself, dresses like a frump, eats sandwiches for lunch, she’s homely, but for Richard, she’ll be perfect. So begins the lies and deceit to create his future! For Katharine, it’s money like she’s never known, extra help for Penny, and a future that is now bright, but it comes with stipulations, she must act as his fiancé, like they are in love and were while working at Anderson Inc. and hiding it in the process, what they didn’t expect was for that contract of convenience to turn to real feelings, ones that is foreign to Richard, and like nothing she’s ever had to Katharine. So why their life together started as a lie to get a new job, it is the mountains they crossed together, creating a new journey neither saw coming- fake kisses and embraces, turning to real feelings, the little hand holding or brushes as they pass move into normality, and the curse words turn to endearments. As in real life you don’t miss something until you no longer have it! I’m looking forward to more of Richard and Katharine ♥️ ... show more

    • Finding "the ONE"
Richard VanRyan is a complete jerk. He's arrogant and selfish, and he doesn't care who he hurts to get what he wants. Until he isn't. Well, until he mostly isn't. It takes some time and woman like Katy, who learns to put him in his place, but he's seriously one of my favorite characters. Not just in Melanie Moreland's world of romance but in romance all around. Basically, there are a handful of leading men that I can't get enough of, that I love their flawed selves to pieces, and Richard is one of those. I kind of came late to the party and hadn't read The Contract series, but I'd met Richard a few times as he popped up in later books - The Contract series adjacent, so to speak. Anyway, I knew I wanted to read his story and finally took the time to do just that. The plan was to take my time, but once I got a taste, I consumed the whole thing. The whole series. This first book in the series gives us the good and the bad, everything Richard and Katy went through to truly find each other, and it's a story I can't recommend enough. ... show more

    • okay and at times a
Good book but I dislike when action and growth happens off page. Most of this book is like that: ‘for the last three months I had really grown to love working here’ etc. Really? I would have liked to read that.
