Contractual Obligation
[Contemporary, Ménage a Trois/Quatre MMF]
Harper’s father has issued her an ultimatum—quit working herself to death and have fun, or he’ll oust her as CEO of their company. She thinks hiring Doug to be her assistant and play her boyfriend is the answer to all her problems, until she finds out about his secret.
Deep in debt from medical bills, Doug’s parents are losing their home. Going to work for Harper is the answer to Doug’s prayers. Yes, it means pretending to be Harper’s boyfriend. That’s a small price to pay. Unfortunately, it also means he has to say good-bye to Tate, his boyfriend and the man he loves.
Tate doesn’t hate Harper when he finds out why Doug went to work for her—and broke up with him. Can he gain Harper’s trust and convince her Doug had good intentions…and that Doug’s contractual obligation can easily become a two-hunk deal?

Do you choose your family or your lover? If you could save your parents from becoming destitute and homeless, but you had to sacrifice the love of your life, would you do it? What if you couldn't tell anyone why you chose your family? What if you couldn't tell your lover why you had to break up with him? Could you do this? These are the questions Doug struggles to answer.
Doug's parents' home is being threatened for foreclosure. Due to his good looks, he's found a job, which is too good to be true. His parents' home will be saved. His expensive MBA will be put to use. He even receives a new car and place to live. All of this comes at a price – sacrificing his relationship with Tate and pretending to be his new boss's boyfriend.
Harper is a young and tough CEO for her father's company. Her father's sudden interest in her lack of personal life places her in a tough position. To placate her father, Harper schemes up a way to replace her retiring assistant with a young man who can double as her boyfriend. Doug is the perfect candidate. She basically buys him with her money. I'm not even going to go into how many HR violations Harper commits to hire Doug.
This story is just unbelievable. I was incredulous at how easily Harper threw money around and how she basically paid for Doug to become her boyfriend. I recommend all readers to suspend any reality to swallow this part of the plot down. Despite this part of the story, I still really enjoyed it. The characters are what did it for me. Ms. Dalton has a way with creating her characters to be flawed yet with the best intentions. No one is truly evil or bad. What they do does have negative consequences they don't anticipate. Still they try their best with the hand they are dealt. This is what is so appealing to me. The story rings true for the actions of each character. I could see them making these choices and then once the true ramifications are clear, they feel guilty and repent. Doug, Harper and Tate work together to come up with a different solution. Instead of a win/lose result, they worked for a win-win ending. This is what made the book for me.
Of course the sex was hot. It is Ms. Dalton writing the sex. The ménage between the three is smexy and fun. I enjoyed every word. The sex between Doug and Tate is hot and I agree with Harper. I would also be playing with myself as these two sexy men put on a show. Their sex scenes will cause a reader's panties to moisten.
Even the secondary characters in this story are appealing. I found Harper's father, Harrison, amusing even when he was overprotective and overbearing. Her assistant and second father, Gordon, he is what I imaged Bruce Wayne's Alfred to be. Even Harrison's gold digging ex-girlfriend was an added touch to the story, which increased my enjoyment. There was not a single extra scene in this book. This book was edited to perfection. The story flowed well and every character had a purpose. I highly recommend this story to ménage lovers who want their cake and eat it too.

Honestly, this is not my favorite of Dalton's. I am used to her emotionally charged scenes, and this one seemed too light for my tastes. I think that, generally speaking if you like her other books, then you'll like it, but you will not love it.
I found it hard to believe how fast they individually fell in love with each other. And there was a scene later on in the book where, if I had been Doug I would have been devastated, but he didn't bat an eyelash.
Overall ok, but not my favorite.

If you are looking to dip into Tymber Dalton’s world but are a bit intimidated, this is a good place to start. It is mmf so if you aren’t into m/m then don’t pick it up. It has a bit of spanking but nothing hardcore. It has a very high heat level so be warned you may need a cold shower after reading it.
I loved how the trio built their relationships separately and then merged them together. Harper was a very unique character. She is a very take charge woman who doesn’t take anyone’s crap, which I love. She has a very vulnerable side, and I’m not just talking emotionally.
Doug is a sweetie. He doesn’t have a problem taking orders from Harper but that pretty much stops in the bedroom. He was a bit conflicted due to leaving Tate behind but it added to his character development.
Tate kinda got the raw end of the deal until Harper found about how Doug ended things to help his family. He was nice about it when he could have been a jerk. I loved how sweet he was to Harper. I also liked how he didn’t take Gorden’s crap.
The secondary characters were great. I really liked Gorden. He made me laugh. I thought Harrison was quite a character. He is a protective dad to his core. All in all it was a great read and exactly what I expected from Tymber Dalton.

Contractual Obligation is another great story by Tymber Dalton.
Harper is CEO of the family company. Her dad has warned her, get a personal life or he’ll take the company back over from her. So, Harper decides to get a personal life, on her terms! She hires a new Executive Assistant that’s young, hot and single. As part of his job, he’s to act like her boyfriend.
Meanwhile, Doug is in love with Tate. But Doug’s parents are about to lose their home. So, he takes Harper’s job and leaves Tate. When Harper finds out about Tate, she send Doug off to England and hires Tate. She’s determined to right the wrong she inadvertently made.
However, Tate has other plans. And he pulls Doug in with him.
This was a great story. It was easy going, not much angst and of course we got our HEA!
Of course, as with other Tymber Dalton books, we got some very steamy M/M action, some MMF action and some good old-fashioned spanking! Doug is a take-charge kind of guy and he’s determined to take care of Tate and Harper.
One of the things I really liked about this story was the interaction between the guys and Harper. Harper is a self-confident, strong, independent CEO. She’s in charge of her company and she does it well. Doug and Tate take charge in the bedroom, but NEVER interfere with her business savvy. They leave the company to her and support her. They take care of her outside the boardroom. It was nice to have a woman who could take care of business and the men in her life didn’t interfere. They didn’t feel a need. They didn’t step in, they didn’t offer up unsolicited advice, they trusted her to do what she did best, run the company.
She, in turn, trusted them to take care of her outside the office. They did it exceptionally well!
Now, I’m off to find another Tymber Dalton book I haven’t read yet!

This one a bit of everything I love in the books I read. There was some guy love, a dash of domination, a splash of spanking, mix-up menage, and a hard to believe happily ever after. And to top it all off it takes part in a part of Florida I'm familiar with. It was fun to read a place or road mentioned and be able to picture it immediately.
I don't think I can fully explain why I really loved this one and what made it so different from other menage story lines.
So stop here if you don't want a spoiler*******

4.5 out of 5. Enter the world of high finance, international business, along with the pressures of family obligation, and you have a testy, edgy, and compelling novel. I was wondering how this would all work out, and I have to admit that I was really surprised at how two lovers who had said good-bye to one another would ever end up together again. It is also about a woman who has totally given her life to her business interests in the effort to prove to her dad that she is every bit the shark he is in maintaining the integrity and position of their international technology business. Yet the two lovers in question--both bi--bring a new dynamic into their lady's life while supporting her in her business in quite a fashion. There's lots to like in this book and along with everything else, it is another literary "homerun" for this author who just keeps turning out stories that keep readers riveted to the page. A terrific read in every way!

Tymber did it again!! She sucked me right into a book and I was up most of the night reading it! I loved the story line- Father gives workaholic daughter an ultimatum and she, being uber-smart and resourceful, figures out a way around it... What she didn't figure into the equation was the feelings she would have for assistant she hired.. The story line had just the right amount of twist to it to make it unique.
I think that Tymber is really good at bringing emotions to life with the written word. For example: the emotional rollercoaster that Doug was on when he accepted Harper's employment requirements, the vulnerability of Harper underneath the steel exterior, the love that Tate had for Doug when he came after him, and the paternal protectivness of Harrison and also of Gorden, her former assistant whose family helped raise her.
The emotions were running high, the sex was amazing, and I couldn't put this book down.. Well done Tymber!

This book was ok, but not great. I liked the characters and the story but it was a little shallow compared to Tymbers early work like The Reluctant Dom. I like to really feel for and engage with my characters and I just didn't in the book.

Not your typical book about a CEO, it sucked me in from the first page. Harper, Doug, and Tate meet in this book. It was a sexy, good read for me, these characters were very entertaining. I read it in one sitting.
July 17, 2013
It was ok though could have been better.
Let me start with the positive things: no mean ex in a quest for ultimate vengeance was hidden anywhere; the family relationships, one very close, the other much colder and distant were nicely depicted, parts of the business environment and business relationships were realistic enough.
Then let's move to the "not-so-successful parts": the first reason why Harper hired Doug was to take-over the position of her assistant retiring three months later; later we could read he had retired, but then the author totally forgot about it, as the guy still went on coming to work, training the new one and in fact not taking one day off from the job and this lasted for a few months after the "due date"; the other thing I positively hated was the way Harper conducted the recruiting interview for Doug, which was one of the worst example of negotiating skills I could ever imagine: Doug was already well-caught, with the basic offer and she kept offering more, so much more than the final offer was probably 3 or 4 times the value of the first one he was already more than willing to take, and nothing was conditional to any kind of performance. It irked me as this moment destroyed all professional credibility the poor girl could have and any sense of self-esteem. Last thing, once more after a few days/weeks, they all magically fell in love with each other; no sense of how it came from, no issues on the part of the men who were already involved with each other previously and for which I had no trouble believing in their feelings towards each other.
Another menage story, with a rather average, though at least slightly original, plot.
In terms of steam, it's not the most scorching, as the author focuses more on the romantica aspects than pure erotica.

What will he tell his Boyfriend? Will it be easy to pretend dating a woman and then living with her without falling for her? so she sends him to do some work somewhere else and up pops his ex-boyfriend.... What is to become of her, her pretend boyfriend, and the ex-boyfriend?

Compared with the Love Slave for Two and Love at First Bight series...this one just wasn't as good. Something was missing in the characters, or maybe the situation didn't feel real enough?

Hmmm... although Doug and Tate are in a monogamous relationship, they both fall for Harper.....
The circumstances regarding the Doug/Harper and Harper/Tate relationships are a little far-fetched, I did like the Doug/Tate relationship. That said, the whole thing didn't really ring true; and if you don't like ANY form of 'cheating', then you won't like this!
Not one of Ms Dalton's best.

When Harper is given an ultimatum by her father, she hires Doug who becomes her assistant and fake boyfriend, but Doug has a secret and when Harper finds out she is angered. When Tate goes to plea Doug's case will it change the outlook for the three of them and will it end in a happily for the trio. This heartfelt story kept me glued to the pages.

This was a good book, I did really enjoy it. Until the end...
The abuse in the end ruined it all. An adult woman does NOT need to get spanked like that. No matter how you look at it, that was pure abuse!

Love Tymber Dalton, usually, but this was definitely not one of her better books. IT wasn't 'bad,' but seemed very rushed and a bit more simplistic than I'm used to.

Well done, Tymber Dalton! Contractual Obligation is a fantastic book that I absolutely adored. If you like your romance well-written and thoughtful with well-developed and believable characters, you will love Contractual Obligation.
Harper Wells is the driven young CEO of Wells Technology International, one of the biggest aeronautics firms in the country. She also has no personal life and a potentially life-threatening secret that she guards jealously. Her father, the founder and owner of the company, has given her an ultimatum. Slow down, relax and find a personal life or he will replace her as CEO. With her long-time assistant, Gorden Smith, due to retire in the next several months and the need to hire and train his replacement, Harper doesn't have time for this foolishness. Then an idea out of the blue comes to her...a job fair to be held the next day. She can kill two birds with one stone, or so she thinks.
Douglas Holt is in trouble. He's moved back home because his mother is ill and has huge medical bills. His father has missed mortgage payments and is in danger of losing the family home. His sisters can't help. Although he holds an MBA, he's been unable to find work other than as a line cook at a local restaurant. He needs to help his family and he's desperate. While watching TV at home on a Friday night, he sees a segment on the local news about a job fair the next day. Determined to find a job that will help his family, Doug fires up his computer, polishes his résumé, and prepares for a Saturday full of job prospects. When he lands an interview with the CEO of Well Technology International, he's thrilled. Thrilled, that is, until he learns the details of what the job entails, including pretending to be her boyfriend and a confidentiality agreement that keeps him from saying anything to anyone about the details of the job for a full year.
Tate Gillis is Doug's roommate and lover. Doug had to leave Tate behind when he moved home to help his parents. Tate at least has a job that pays the bills. It certainly doesn't utilize the skills of his MBA but it is a decent job with good benefits. Doug calls Tate on Friday night to tell him about the job fair. If Doug can find a good job, he and Tate can move in with his parents, pay rent and both help with his parents' situation. Tate gladly agrees. But shortly thereafter, Tate is promoted with his salary doubled and the possibility of going even further in the company. It's still not the job of his dreams but how can he refuse the promotion?
Doug loves Tate more than he's ever loved anyone in his life. But he can't afford to not accept Harper's job offer. He's torn in two because in order to take the job, he'll have to leave Tate behind and he doesn't know if he can do that. Despairing, Doug makes the hardest decision he's ever had to make. He accepts Harper's offer, knowing that it will end his relationship with Tate.
Things get complicated, very complicated. Doug and Tate break up. Doug and Harper become an item. Later, Harper accidentally learns of Tate's existence and his former role in Doug's life, and she has to get to the bottom of the mystery about the two men. She comes up with a plan to meet Tate while keeping Doug away. But then a threat to her company arises that will take all Harper's strength and resources, including both Doug and Tate, to try to overcome it.
Tymber Dalton is a master storyteller and Contractual Obligation is just one of her many exceptional books. I am constantly amazed at just how versatile an author she is. She writes in many genres (paranormal romance, science fiction, erotic romance, BDSM-themed romance, and horror). Contractual Obligation is an erotic ménage a trois romance that will keep you entranced, enthralled and excited from the first page to the very last word. Tymber Dalton is one the few authors who is an automatic buy for me whenever she publishes a new book. She is just that great. If you enjoy the erotic romance genre, you'll absolutely LOVE Contractual Obligation.
I would be remiss if I did not make one final comment. This is an ADULT book. It contains very adult themes, explicit language, and sexual scenes. If you do not enjoy erotic romance with explicit sexual scenes then PLEASE carefully consider your purchase before buying this book. PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANY BOOK IN A GENRE YOU KNOW YOU WILL NOT ENJOY AND THEN LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW OF THE BOOK AS IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE AUTHOR! She works extremely hard to provide a quality work product and if you know before you purchase a book that you will object to the subject matter contained therein, you are doing not only yourself, but the author, an extreme disservice. But if you do enjoy hot, erotic ménage romances, I highly recommend Ms. Dalton's Contractual Obligation. I give it my highest rating without reservation!
