The Contract

Triple Toronto Connection #1

by Elle Joraco

My jerk of an ex-boyfriend completely screwed me over. I was going to have to drop out of my Master's program if I didn't find a solution, which meant losing the health insurance that made mine and my little sister's medication somewhat (but not really) affordable. A favour from a professor led to an introduction to a man who had an unconventional proposition. If I agreed to a six month contract with him, his brother, and their friend they would ensure I had financial security. I could stay in school, Hope could get the medication she needs to live some semblance of a normal teenage life. It was a no-brainer. I agreed. At first I felt like their toy, but soon they opened me up to a world of experiences I never thought possible for me. Then I did the absolutely worst thing I could possibly do. I started falling them. I need to keep it together, for my sister Hope and for myself.

This is a reverse harem romance that is a standalone full length novel (65k+ words), with a HEA. There are FMMM, MM, FF and "sort of" FFMM scenes. There are also scenes with spanking , anal and cumplay so if you're turned off by that, don't download this book. Otherwise, happy reading!

Genres: Contemporary, Contemporary Romance, M M Romance

What a lovely spin on a RH book. Faith is in a serious pickle. She needs money ASAP. Between her sister’s and her medications, school, rent, food and well, life in general, Faith can’t catch a break. Finding out she will have to leave school brings about desperation and a need to accept a rather odd offer. She enters into a contract relationship with 3 men in exchange for money to pay her rent and cover medical expenses. Faith is strong and resilient. Brave. The guys: Luc, Christian and Thierry are sexy, successful and a tad clueless (Faith keeps so much hidden). It’s a great story with a sweet HEA.

WELL FRICK THIS AUTHOR IS GOOD. NOT WITH JUST THE STORY LINE BUT WITH THE DETAILS WITH EVERYTHING. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I JUST NEED MORE AND MORE TO READ. THE SEX WAS FANTASTIC I LOVED THE DETAIL TO IT. I HAD TO CALM MY SELF DOWN BECAUSE I COULD NOT READ THE WHOLE THING WITHOUT BEING TO LOUD AT NIGHT AN MOANING. ANYWAYS THE STORY LINE ITSELF OS FAST PACED WHICH IS OBVIOUS BECAUSE IT HINTS IN THE SUMMARY AND YOU SEE IT RIGHT AWAY FROM THE FIRST CHAPTER. THE PLOT MADE ME CRY HAPPY TEARS. IT WAS WELL DONE AND WELL WRITTEN.

(P.S. AUTHOR I NEED MORE AND THE ENDING WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL)

Oh I knew this book was going to pull on my heartstrings!! It was intriguing right from the beginning. The dedication Faith has to continue to support her sister while finishing her master's degree is so admirable. Life dealt her a crumby hand, and she is doing her best with what she has to deal with. The relationship between Faith, Luc, Christian, and Thierry was both steamy and heartfelt. Just a contract at first, their relationship eventually crossed the line into something completely different and unexpected. It was everything each one needed but maybe didn't realize they did at first.

Wow I loved this book. It was cute and sweet. Yet also had so much steam to the sex scenes. The main female character, Faith, was sweet and very likeable. Some of the male characters took a little time to like but in the end I was so happy with them all. Most importantly it ended with a HEA. Will definitely be on the look out for other books by Elle.

Sweet, feel good story

The Contract is a feel good story about a girl who needs help, and the guys who give it to her.

While the story is, at its base, a typical rich-guys-sex-contract trope, its filled with real world problems that each character must overcome.

The characters story lines are rich, although I think could be filled out a bit more.

This was a good book with a sweet HEA

Love Story

This was a great story about love. Everything started with a contract but everyone was holding back. Once things start coming out including the most guarded thing, feelings, everything changes.
I loved this book and the characters!

Engaging

Story about a girl who is in need of help after an ex takes all of her money. She is the guardian of her younger sister and they both have medical issues. She agrees to a contract with 3 guys in exchange to be able to stay in school and support her sister. A bit 50 shades esque with the whole contract but it doesn’t really go into the bdsm world. Theirry is the best. He definitely changes the Dynamics and I think she would of bailed a lot sooner without him. He balances the other 2 alphas. HEA. Different Povs. Some mm and FF. Steamy and engaging.

I am giving The Contract 4.5 stars. I enjoyed the read and will be back to read Brianna's story. The only problem that I had was that the book needed some more editing. There were a lot of spelling and grammatical errors that some times had me rereading so I could understand what was going on. The story was very good and I enjoyed the character and relationship development.

Good read!

Hadn’t read this author before thought I would give it a shot. I really enjoyed this read! Had a little bit of everything in the sexy time department! And the story was great too! All around good read.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Definitely some hot scenes and good storyline! I ❤️ Thierry the most! Also some hot MMF scenes! Highly recommend! 5 stars!

[Courtney · Rating 4 out of 5]

I Give this Book a 3.5-4/5 Star Rating, Listing as 4.

HEA(?): Yes
Relationship Type: MMFM Reverse Harem, very Lite MM (girl only way watches), Slight FF as well.
Heat: 4-4.5/5
*Faith IS the Main focus, several readers may love that, but I would’ve preferred a bit more MM with my MMFM (but that’s just me).
The scenes could’ve been expanded a bit and a bit more detailed, some places had decent detail and other areas did lack quite a bit of visual.
Romance: 3.5-4/5
Drama: 3.5/5
Suspense: 3/5
Dark(?): Nope.
Pacing: Mid- Fast to Fast.

This book does feel quite short, I wish it felt less rushed and some places were more in-depth.
I also did lose track of who’s POV was who’s cause of odd sentencing (for me ). But the Book is actually pretty good, I want to read the next book in this series.

I really liked a lot about this book. Our h and her little sister both have chronic health conditions. I LOVED that this was part of the story- and very accurately portrayed. As someone with health issues myself, I love seeing this in books.
This is a quick and SEXY book. Lots of steam here ladies and gents.
For me it’s only 3 stars because I just didn’t really like 1 (sometimes 2) members of the harem. I don’t think I’ve ever read a RH where I hope our leading lady DOES choose.
Overall though it was a fun and sexy quick read. Unfortunately, I probably won’t continue with the series.

Overall not bad.


There were some some context mistakes like missing words. I didn’t feel the relationships had proofreader enough to be called love. Also why do authors insist on making on the female sound like such an air head. There were several instances Faith went off on a tangent about OMG THIS AND OMG THAT. It was a little annoying. There are ways to write a female character to be not experienced without making her sound 5 years old.

[Arcanine Patronus · Rating 2 out of 5]

Decent story for a first draft. It's not just some spelling mistakes either. There are lots of sentences that don't work at all. It can't really be considered a finished book. I enjoyed the relationships developing, especially Faith was a good character. The sex scenes were a bit meh.

[Laurenloveslit81 · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet story with a lot of steam! It felt a bit rushed to me at the end but overall a good read!

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quick read

I liked the main character. This was a little different for me since I'm in the usa and the story is based in Canada. I loved this story. The epilogue was so sweet.

Not great.
Grammar issues and the author really dates the story with way too specific references to music and movies and shows.

Had to DNF when she got 🤢pregnant🤢
