I have not read a bad book from this author yet and this book is no exception! The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had a very hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!

This short second chance romance is the story of Jenna, a nurse, and Tony, a football player negotiating a new contract and trying to stay out of the press. This couple, both virgins, had shared their first sexual experience with each other. A miscommunication sends Jenna away after their first time. When they meet years later, They still love each other but Jenna remains angry with Tony. When an argument is overhead by the paparazzi, Tony’s agent suggests they fake an engagement to repair their reputations. I recommend this quick read which is filled with wonderful characters and steamy romance.

The Contract is such an amazing story by Alexia Chase. I had a hard time putting the book down as I was so engrossed in the story and wanted to finish before I had to stop.
The back story and hurt feelings Tony and Jenna have experienced over the years fules the chemistry when they reunite at the Wedding.
The passion exploded when Jenna wanting to do the right thing, so she agreed to help Tony until his contact is signed.
You will find yourself lost in the pages as you get lost in their story.

Absolutely fantastic! It is a well written second chance romance with a well-developed, consistent, and engaging plot. It is a captivating, funny, witty, steamy, and emotionally deep read with some ups and downs. The characters are likeable and strong; the chemistry between them is hot and off the charts! This book will hold your interest from beginning to end. Strongly recommended!

Jenna and Tony are a second chance romance after having been together once when they were younger. When they see each other again and it doesn’t go so well it leads to a “Contract”. I liked the chemistry between them and enjoyed their second chance.

Meet Jenna and Tony, this is a longer length book that contains both characters points of view which is different from this author. I have read a lot of her shorter stories (female POV) and their flips (male POV) so combo is a fun change. Jenna has always secretly crushed on her brother’s best friend. About six years ago, she gave him her virginity in the front seat of his truck. They went their separate ways as Tony was an a$$ about the whole thing. Now fate has drawn these two back together, is this a second chance or is it to late to mend the past? It’s a fake engagement meant to smooth over a heated argument overhears by the paparazzi that follow Tony around but what if faking it stirs up more real feelings along the way? Enjoy this great story!

Once again Alexia has written another fantastic story of love with a hint of hate mixed in it. But all goes well in the end. Or does it.
Tony or Anthony was Jenna’s first crush. She has been in love with him since high school. But something went wrong after she had given him her virginity. Jenna left her home town and moved as far away as she could, but now she is home and Tony is back home again too. How can she forgive him for what he did to her back when she left for college?
Tony has been in love with Jenna since he was seventeen, although she is his best friend’s sister, he has loved her from afar. They both lost their virginity to each other one fateful night and then suddenly Jenna left town and now hates him. What did he do to cause her to hate him? Now she is back in town, will they get another chance to fall in love again or will their past get in their way.
You will have to read this book to find out all aspects of their story. You will laugh and cry with the characters and find a soft spot for them and their personal battles. I absolutely loved reading this book. There is the normal spicy read as well as the wonderful feeling when they find their happily ever after.

This is wonderful second chance for love story. Tony & Jenna had one eventful night in the past that led to a big misunderstanding currently between the two. I was so hoping that Jenna was going to blurt out her issue when she was drunk at her brother’s wedding reception but she blurted out some nonsense that led to a fake engagement between her and Tony. Tony’s football contract renewal was on the line and Jenna was gracious enough to set aside her hurt and pain to help Tony. This fake engagement brought these two wonderful characters together at last and they were able to clear up the misunderstanding at the end. Ms. Chase’s endings are so sweet and romantic. I just love reading her books because they leave me hopeful for my HEA.

You have like all the tropes here in one great story. Jenna and Tony are the perfect enemies-to-lovers former friends and I couldn’t get enough. Their communication needs help and it was a little frustrating getting to where they finally are open with each other as to what happened but boy was it hot having them get there. Their attraction is palpable and it could have burned down my Kindle

Great read for those who love second chances. Miscommunication is the name of this couple for Jenna and Tony, who were previously debut in the The Bet by Ms. Chase. Fun bickering between the characters when all it really is just pent up sexual tension. Like how these two, finally come together with their true feelings and the ending was very fitting.

This is now my favourite by Alexia Chase! Jenna the sister of Rich has moved back to town. She has not seen her first love, Tony since he left town 6 years ago right after they lost their virginity together. Tony is a Pro Football player and a heated conversation between him and Jenna has gone viral making them both look bad. It is decided that they should become fake engaged to make them look better to the media. What happens when the feelings are not fake at all?

Good but simple
3,5
Good romance, well written, but the scenario is quite predictable.
Since high school, Jenna hates Anthony, a professional football player who has injured his knee. Yet their attraction is undeniable and Anthony will do anything to convince her while she will do everything to avoid him, until she finds herself more or less forced to spend time with him.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
She’s a nurse, who’s been in love with her brother’s best friend since she was fourteen years old. He happens to be a sexy football player that popped her cherry six years before. This was really good. Well written. Great characters. Filled with emotions, steam, angst, funny moments, and misunderstandings. Was great seeing Rich, and Chloe again.

Jenna and Tony were attracted to each other as teenagers. So much so that they lost their virginity to one another. Then Tony broke Jenna’s heart to chase his dream. Fast forward to the beginning of the book. Tony is now a pro football player and Jenna is the new nurse in town. When they do finally run into each other, an argument ensues. The argument is caught on video and it doesn’t make either particularly look good, but especially Tony as he is in a contract year. They decide to come up with a “Contract”, but it is more a fake engagement. As with all good romances, this fake engagement has real feelings behind it. This was a great read and I truly enjoyed the characters.
