was good, I got into so much that when I got to the end I didn't want to finish it, I also found myself getting both frustrated and excited with the characters, Learning the art of seduction has never been so much fun,
Lane Davis has never had time for love, Hard work, dedication and focus got her through uni and now she's a successful economist with qualifications in all areas except the bedroom,
When a colleague airs those bedroom sheets in public, Lane decides it's time to upskill, She's always studied her way to success, so why not hire a teacher to help her out now It's just a business deal three months of private tutoring, no strings attached.
Easy or it would be, if the lessons didn't make her weak at the knees, . .
Her proposed teacher, Adam Quinn, has his own agenda, His sister one of Lane's best friends wants him to scare Lane into giving up her crazy scheme, But once he meets Lane, he can't quite bring himself to reject her,
If Adam's going to teach Lane just one thing, it's that love can get in the way of even the best intentions, . . I enjoyed this book from start to finish, but often became frustrated with the characters not sharing their feelings with each other, . . which was exactly the reaction the writer wanted to evoke, I was engaged in the story, I loved the strong hero qualities of Adam, and his sensitive side, and the fact that this started off being a desire to stop Laine from continuing down the path of hiring a man to teach her in the ways of lovemaking.
Then when there was no turning back, something changed, and he was protective of her before he fell for the naive and emotionally fragile young woman, A lovely story, with relatable characters who were not too over the top "wealthy" or over the top "gorgeous", although I did think Adam was both gorgeous and delicious, This is a fun romance that wont stretch your brain cells too much, and Im not saying thats a bad thing because sometimes thats exactly what you need in a book, a little bit of light escapism.
The contract, as mentioned in the title, is for the hero to teach our heroine how to be good in bed, Therefore, to be honest, the whole book is basically one sex scene after another, All the sex scenes are well written, consensual, and sometimes humorous, so again, Im not saying this is necessarily a bad thing!
I didnt notice the book was marketed towards young adults until after I finished it and I must say I dont think it fits into that genre.
I suppose I was reading Mills amp Boons under the covers probably from the age ofor so but Obviously Im an old prude now and would recommend for someone at least.
It might explain the new cover which I thought seemed to be too young for the actual book when I saw it,
I wonder if the writer actually altered the characters ages after her initial draft to fit in with the publishers desire to make it young adult, because most of the time I was thinking the whole plot would have worked much better if the leads were at least in theirs.
I love the Australian setting and the fact that we have that setting without a farm for once, Given that, the American spelling on my version was a little distracting at times, but I will assume my copy is what will be published there,
Really there were no major flaws in the book though, and these are all minor gripes, It was a quick fun read and Ill definitely be reading more of Ms Tremaynes books,

Call me stupid, but I've just found out the difference between young adult and new adult, Yes, I'm dumb and too old to fall into either category, So, I assume advertisers might be aiming this book towards the new adult market and it would suit, I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review,

An Australian romance story without a farmer or woman in a hat in sight! Well, I am not sure "romance" is quite the right word.
Maybe "romcom" would be a better description for this story there is plenty of laughs in this book to keep the tone light and easygoing,
What I really did enjoy was the setup, Lane gets the idea in her head that she needs to learn about intimacy and seduction and goes about finding a teacher, She does this willingly and of her own free will could have been creepy if she had been talked into it, or made to do it so I have no issue with that.
The humour was appreciated as was the realistic dialogue, I felt "Australian" written all over that, Also, I liked Lane although she started off a little awkward, she did develop somewhat throughout the story,
What I didn't like too much was that this was basically a book that was a running sex scene, While some people appreciate that stuff, I thought it was probably a little overdone, Made Lane look like she needed to have sex to have some value as a person, Also, the romance between Lane and Adam just took too long, The book is less thatpages and their "will they, won't they" storyline just dragged for me, We all knew what was going to happen could have done something a little different to keep the story fresh,
Overall, though, a fun romp that will sit well in any library of romantic comedy novels,

ARH This is poorly written, boring and not sexy at all This book had a sizzling romance at its centre and the brilliant chemistry between Lane and Adam kept me hooked to the very end.
It's sexy, fun and ultimately a great romantic read with a clever starting premise of Lane hiring Adam as a teacher, Such an enjoyable story with great characters, I couldn't put it down, Read it, and everything by this author, Lots of fun, but also touching, .
