CONTRACTUALLY YOURS by NADIA LEE

Book 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, in order 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…

Review:  

It brings me such joy to when a new Lasker brother gets his story. But this story is ALL Lucie Peery – and well deserved.

Sebastian Lasker is the latest brother to fall down the marriage hole, albeit very unconventionally.

This is a really good book and we get to see these characters growth, especially Lucie’s throughout the book. She has such a hard shell around herself (for good reasons) and her acceptance of true friendship and love is wonderful to see.

Of course the Lasker brothers make and appearance, as well as Daddy Dearest, THE Ted Lasker. Maybe I read these just to get a glimpse of dear old Dad, because his interactions are just so fun.

Either way, good book, as usual.
