Contractual Obligations

By: Elle Rivers

Narrated by: Scarlett Dorian

When Lily is offered a ticket out of the career and life she hates, she takes it. Even if it means signing a contract to marry the attractive but aloof Sebastian Miller for five years. Her job is simple: play the happy housewife and she will get awarded a million dollars of her inheritance. That money is more than enough for her to start a life on her own and away from her controlling parents. But four years in, she's more than ready to be done with this marriage. She's pretty sure her husband hates her, and she longs for the freedom the end of their contract will bring—a freedom that is threatened when she's called to meet Sebastian's father, the orchestrator of this whole sham. She worries he will try to extend their contractual marriage. What he does is worse.

Forced to move across the country due to a promotion for Sebastian is her worst nightmare, but her only choice is to pretend to be fine. She prepares for the last year of their marriage to be more cold indifference, but being stuck in a new city shows a sweeter side of Sebastian that Lily never thought possible. Gone is the indifferent man she knows and in his place is the kind and patient man of her dreams. But their clock is ticking—only one year of their marriage remains. Will they find love or will contractual obligations get in the way?

Contains mature themes.

Reddit recommended this book and I loved it!

I follow a romance group in reddit and they recommended this book. So I was happy to have found it in Audible. Worth a listen and Scarlett Dorian reading this to us, made me love Sebastian and Lily. Worth a listen!

Oh my gosh, I loved it

I love this book so much. I devoured this book. I read it in one sitting. It’s been on my TBR for so long and I’m so annoyed of myself for waiting so long to read it. Read this like immediately. If she makes a part two or a book in the same universe, I would literally be so happy 10 stars 💕💕

Wow! what a story

I stumbled upon this title and listened to the sample and got hooked! listened to it in less than 24 hrs. Normally I dislike weak female characters but seeing how she grew and also the male characters was not your typical alpha male. I truly enjoyed this book. The narrator was fantastic and loved the spicy scenes. overall great book!

arrange married, slow burn and with quick sex scenes leaving you wanting more from this couple.

I cant believe how unique this story is. Makes you almost wonder if it was an autobiography by the author ;)

loved every part of it and the story telling was amazing. I will be reading again!

I love this book!

This was a really good performance by the narrators. And the overall story was really good. Now there were moments where I think the drama was a little overdone. But as a fanfiction writer, myself, who has wrote some non-fan fiction things this was super relatable. I also really loved this take on a contractual marriage. I loved it refreshing and delightful. I could not stop listening.

Original take on a contractual marriage book

The narrator was amazing and so was the plot line, it was very original for a contractual marriage book. I enjoyed it very much.
The plot line was very original I listened to this book in one day.

Great book!

This book was so great! Didn’t know how I would feel about marriage of convenience, but L Rivers did not disappoint. I want more of her books! Great book! 

Avoid. Find a Real Book

Within a few minutes the language (f-bomb) and explicit sex led me to return this trashy novel. There are a lot better choices out there to read.
