Breaching the Contract is my first Chantal Fernando book and I really enjoyed it! Its a short novella that you can read in about an hour; lately, I have been LOVING novellas. They are helping me break out of my reading funk for sure.
Kat is a recent law school grad who has taken a job at a prestigious law firm. Her boss, Jaxon, really treats her like an equal and she is able to really learn a lot. Then he has to leave town for a bit and his partner, Tristan, has to take over the cases. He treats Kat like a lackey-getting him coffee, picking up his kids, etc. Jokes on him because Kat ends up charming his kids and they love her! Kat and Tristan dance around their attraction and the sexual tension is high.
Logan and Laura bring some cuteness to the story, and I loved Kat's tenacity and drive. I understood Tristan's behavior-his wife died a few years ago, he is trying to raise his kids alone, he is Kat's boss-but when he pushed her away I was kind of pissed.
Breaching the Contract is super short so obviously I wished there was more. The end felt a bit rushed to me, but overall, I really enjoyed the story and can't wait to get Jaxon, Callum, and Hunter's stories. And I am kind of curious about Yvonne too!
Breaching the Contract is part boss/employee love, with a dash of single dad romance to create a charming story!
