Cormac Delaney was everything I hated about men—arrogant, smug and condescending, but he was also everything my body responded to—gorgeous, tall, brooding, and confident. Oh, and he happened to be a partner at the publishing company I was trying to get signed to. My book—“Fu*#$@Boys”—about how men are selfish, sex-crazed pigs—was one vote away from being published—his vote. But not only did he … hate my book, he asked me a question that would change things between us forever:
“How can you be an expert on men when you’ve never been in a real relationship?”
He had a point, but I wasn’t about to let him know. Instead I did what any self-respecting writer and podcaster would do—I proposed a radical social experiment. Cormac and I would live together for one month as boyfriend and girlfriend. If he could change my mind about men I’d withdraw my book. If not, he’d agree to publish it.
My only condition? No sex, or anything physical, whatsoever.
I never thought he’d go for it, but I guess I was wrong about him, in more ways than one. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Cormac Delaney, even if he is easy on the eyes. . .fine, he’s good looking. . .alright, he’s hot as hell, but still! To do this I’m going to have to remind myself of a few things: we’re only an experiment, nothing more. He’s not the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen in my life, he absolutely does not have a body that makes me tingle in all the right places, and I’m never, under any circumstances, going to let myself fall for him. . .
Right?

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I liked how Mr. Harlan deviated from the norm and allowed us to sympathize with both sides of the argument. I actually found myself more inline with Cormac’s views (except for one little part, and I have a feeling that it was unintentional. Definitely a must-read for all rom-com fans.
I loved this book and thought it was funny while also swoon worthy. Tori is a very popular internet sensation with her blogs, vlog, podcasts, and maybe a new book deal. She is a firm believer men only think with one appendage and they can’t be taken serious and that they never want a committed relationship. All her followers agree and give her the fuel she needs to give them what they want time and time again. So, when she goes into a meeting with some publishers Cormac is the only one that asks the questions that I also agreed with and thinks her book is just spewing hatred for a certain gender. I’m not going to lie, but at the beginning of the book I really disagreed with Tori and thought she did come off as a manhater, but slowly as the book unfolds Cormac helps Tori see that not all men are the same and in turn Tori teaches Cormac a few things about women and their experiences in the dating scene. I did love that we got to see them both grow and turn the new things they learned from each other into positives. I thought this was a funny and cute read, also I loved Tori’s friend Shoshanna she kept Tori grounded and help see things from other perspectives.
Want a fun read this was!! This is Christopher’s first romantic comedy and it did not disappoint!
Great reliable characters. Strong proud characters not willing to back down from Theo own views. After a fake trial relationship they discover that maybe their views of the opposite sex may not be correct. Heartwarming and sweet. I would love to read more about their love story. Well written!
I love stories that leave me with such swoony feelings. This is my first book that I’ve read from this author and it leaves me wanting to read more. I’m a big lover of Rom Com and this story is exactly a big example of why I love it so much! It was sweet, sexy and makes the soul happy!
I really enjoyed Harlan’s crafty character’s who made me chuckle at all their banter, inhale heavily with worry, and gleefully screech with excitement. I loved Tori’s ambition and Cormac’s kind heart. These two will have you swept off your feet quickly and never wanting it to end!
Light and easy rom com reading. Tori is our girl, she stands for is and believes in herself. As for Cormac, how can you refuse a man with Blue eyes and has the perfect words coming out of his mouth. You will not be disappointed reading this
“Cormac is everything I didn’t know I was looking for. I thought I hated him. I thought he was everything wrong with the male sex. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong in my entire life.”
This was such a cute story. Match up one man-bashing vlogger with the ultimate gentleman set to prove her wrong, and BAM!! Fireworks!!! Of course, she doesn’t know he’s a gentleman and is expecting nothing less than for him to be a pig, just like all the others.
A proposition in exchange for publishing her book. 30 days,living together, no hooking- up, and she’ll prove to him that all men are the same. Well, he ups the ante with a contract allowing him 3 kisses during this deal, and he’ll show her what a real man is like.
When the four corners of this contract start to blur, and those darn feelings start messing everything up, what’s a girl to do? Does she dare admit she could have been wrong? Can he dare to admit that she’s not the she-devil he thought she was?
Only one thing to do. Fall for each other.
This was a great enemies -to – lovers story!!
The Three Kiss Clause by Christopher Harlan is unlike anything he’s written before and I loved it. This rom-com is perfect for the silver screen and is so fun. It is modern in its references to modern technology and extremely relatable.
The characters are hilarious and the chemistry is insane. There isn’t too much sex in this book (which I personally appreciate,) but boy, the one that does make an appearance is sure to melt your undies.
I hope that Christopher does more of this genre. It was really enjoyable.
This book was super cute! I loved the pod casts and how Tori was so strong yet so clueless! The chemistry between Cormac and Tori was fantastic. Tori needs to impress Cormac to get her book published and unfortunately her stellar attitude towards him isn’t helping. She’s a massive social media personality but she wants to enter the book world.
When she gets denied she comes up with a crazy social experiment to try and change his mind. Cormac also wants to change her mind and prove that all men are not pigs.
30 days and 3 kisses is all it will take for Tori to prove she’s right and become a author.
This book was so good I really loved the dynamic between the two and Toris best friend Shoshanna she’s fantastic.
I loved this story a sweet funny I can’t wait to read more of Chris’s books.
The Three Kiss Clause is the first book I’ve read by Christopher Harlan, and it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed reading this rom com, it was well written with an interesting plot.
Tori and Cormac were at their best when they were irritating each other. I found myself laughing at their humorous verbal sparring. The secondary characters were so likable as well. I would love to see books about them. I recommend The Three Kiss Clause, it is funny, romantic and a heck of a good book!
I received a complementary ARC for an honest review.
I love this book as usual. Every book I have read by Christopher Harlan is a complete success in my book. Tory and Cormac butt heads but the chemistry between them are off the charts. This book will definitely keep you on your toes and it will be hard to put down once you start it.
Great fun story. Relatable characters that you grow attached to. A truly wonderful read.
I’M SO OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK! I was drawn in with the blurb but the banter, feels, and general awesomeness were what kept me sucked into the story!!
I loved the boyfriend experiment and watching them try to figure out that their opinions of each other were wrong. The banter was soooooo good. This whole book is amazing!!
This was such a cute rom-com. I love how a romance can leave your heart all swoony and full. I’m fairly new to Christopher’s writing but this was the best I’ve read so far. It’s what romance is all about. The insta hot chemistry. The quick funny banter. The slow build sexual tension. The swoony romance. This book had all that. It was just a great romantic comedy.
OMG I absolutely loved this story!!! Cormac and Tori are freaking awesome and funny!!! They are so perfect for each other Great story line and there’s never a full moment!!!
I love Chris’ writing. I absolutely loved the story of Tori and Cormac. This is the first Rom Com that I’ve read in awhile. This had serious parts but also a lot of funny parts. I’m not usually one for Rom Com’s. (I go through different stages of what I like/want to read), but this one had me laughing a lot. i love the different tropes and genres that he writes in. I cannot wait to see what else Christopher comes up with.
I laughed with this so much and I felt like most of the time reading it, I was just smiling. The banter and the chemistry and passion was out of this world. I couldn’t put it down. I loved the premise and how even though you want to agree with Tori and hate Cormac, you can’t. This pairing is one of the best!
This is a fun RomCom by Christopher Harlan. While I am not a huge fan of Rom Coms, Inreally enjoyed this one. It was fun and sexy. I have read every book by this author and The Three Kiss Clause didn’t disappoint. 5 stars from me.
This is a great book, I loved every minute of it. Being the first book by this author for me I can definitely say I am hooked and will be reading everything I can that is written by him.
Tori Klein meets Cormac Delaney when she pitches her book to his publishing company. Things don’t go well but then they take an unusual direction in an experiment of sorts.
This story has a great sense of humor with fabulously witty repartee between characters; Shoshana and Tori are a total crack up and Cormac and Tori’s fun banter leaves you chuckling too. But more the characters are able to laugh at themselves. Shoshana is hilariously funny with the things that come out of her mouth generally, especially her crazy comparisons in her stories.
Tori is a strong, sassy character who has definite opinions and although she might be slightly biased in her opinions she has valuable insights. She’s a really honest and caring person too and one that I found easy to like, actually apart from Maryanne- Cormac’s ex, I liked all of the characters a lot and found them to be fun, intelligent and hardworking- a great balance. Cormac is a little blunt at times but I could see why too, this hunky male makes the perfect partner for Tori.
I totally recommend The Three Kiss Clause to everyone who enjoys a lively romantic comedy with fantastic characters and a terrific plot.
