Contracted by Marni Mann Release Review

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Years ago, I was burned by a woman. I forgave, but I haven’t forgotten, and it’s a road I’ll never go down again. My career has become my life instead. I’m Max Graham, the biggest music agent in the business. Women love me, but I don’t do love anymore. I’ve found another way to meet my needs. Eve Kennedy-stylist to the stars and total bombshell. By far, she’s the most daring woman I’ve ever had in my bed with a sexual appetite as ferocious as mine. We might just have the hottest sex life in Miami and LA. We don’t date anyone else-although, sometimes, we invite someone for a night. We travel the world, and I lavish her with gifts. But she knows my career comes first. And the best part? For the past two years, she’s been happy with our arrangement. Or so I thought. I’ve survived heartbreak once before, but this one could be the end of me.

I knew from the moment I met Max in Signed that he would have quiet the story to tell. Max is a partner with The Agency and works in the music industry. He is the top agent in his field actually and is getting ready to have his client sign the highest paid country music star contract that has ever been. Max is hard working and dedicated to his job and has not time nor does he ever intend to fall in love again. He was burned once by the woman he was engaged to when she cheated on him and they broke off their engagement. He swore then he would never fall in love or do a relationship again. When he meets Eve Kennedy, stylist to James’s Ryne the top actress in Hollywood and the fiancé of his best friend, they have such amazing chemistry that you will feel it melting off your kindle. For the last two years they have worked around their schedules and made time for each other. They don’t date but she does attend events with Max in Miami and he comes to LA where Eve is busy as a stylist for the stars. They both are career oriented and their arrangement works just fine for them. However after a conversation with James the word “More” will not get out of Eve’s head. She wants more. She wants the wedding and the babies and Max is not someone who is willing to give that to anyone. Don’t the past two years mean anything to him? You have to read to find out. I don’t want to ruin this for anyone. If you have not read this any books in this series, I would suggest that you go to the beginning and start there, though each book can be read as a standalone. However all the characters that make up the books in this series have all the characters in them and Contracted would be the third such book. I loved these characters so much. I was actually sad to finish this book. Max and Eve are one of the hottest couples that I have read about in a good long while. There is no way that you won’t fall in love with them too. Do not miss this book or your missing one of the best books that I have read this year.
