Summary

In a world where marriage doesn’t exist―only seven-year contracts―you don’t marry, you sign. You don’t divorce, you breach. And sometimes, you just expire.

Kate is struggling to find her footing. She gave up a career she hated to pursue the law, and now she’s buried in debt and unemployed. At least she’s signed to an amazing guy―hot, sweet, and committed.

Enter the contract killer, the man who pursues only signed women. No commitment, no hassle, all the fun. But Kate has enough fun on her plate… until her partner doesn’t re-up their contract.

After an epic but well-deserved meltdown, Kate gets practical. She accepts a job with her uncle’s law firm, practicing signing law―the one type of law she swore she’d never do. And the contract killer? Now that Kate is single, she’s no longer his type, but he still wants to be friends. Yeah, that’ll work. Kate may be heartbroken, but she’s not impervious to this sexy, smart, and complex man. But hey, it looks like he may not be impervious to her either―signed or not.

With biting wit and charm, I Love You Subject to the Following Terms and Conditions is hilariously relatable, for the millennial set.

My Review

I LOVE YOU SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS is a read that is surprisingly hilarious, sizzling hot, and full of heart! The premise and book title alone naturally instills some sarcasm, but the author did a marvelous job of carrying it all out. She gives readers a protagonist that they can't help but fall in love with and cheer on through her crazy love life and career situation. If you like your romance laugh-out-loud hilarious, full of heat, with great characters and an interesting story, then grab this one!

I can't count how many times I laughed or smiled while reading this. There were also some moments that were quite heartbreaking, and other moments that were swoon-worthy. It definitely was a story that pulled out all the feels.

I loved the characters, particularly Kate, Logek, and Adam. I also couldn't help loving Mags. She was such a fun character! Then there were a bunch of other characters. . . from Kate's parents to Adam's mom, to the various dates and Kate's co-workers and clients. No one came off as flat. I especially loved Kate's and Logek's friendship and Kate's and Adam's friendship. The dialogue was so well done! Lots of wit and charm, but also a lot of just down-to-earth, being real talk. Kate did over-drink to me. . . it's like someone is always handing her a glass of alcohol in one form or another. That was the only thing that felt a little over-the-top. Otherwise, I really just loved the characters and the story.

In the end, was it what I wished for? I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this at first. There was a lot of mature content, which is normally not my preference. However, the characters, plot, and voice of the writing pulled me in and never let me go. Seriously well done.

Content: Detailed love scenes, making out, innuendo, blunt/crude descriptions, and quite a lot of swearing.

Summary

In a world where marriage doesn’t exist—only seven-year contracts—you don’t marry, you sign. You don’t divorce, you breach. And sometimes, you just expire.

In this hilarious conclusion to Erin Lyon's I Love You Subject to the Following Terms and Conditions, Kate has accepted a job practicing signing law, the one type of law she swore she'd never do - especially since what she thought was her very own happily ever after turned into just another expired contract. But between Kate's embarrassing penchant for running into exes in court, clients determined to use her as their very own therapist, and a couple having a knock-down, drag-out over the custody of the family guinea pig, at least the job's never boring.

But while Kate finally has a handle on her career, her love life is still, well, complicated. The former love of her life, Jonathan, wants her back. Her current main squeeze, Dave, wants to take things to the next level, but she still can't shake her wolf-in-sheep's-clothing vibe about him. And then there's Adam, her mad crush who really wants to be her friend. So, to sum up, one questionable ex, one player with a capital "P," and one guy who's kind of stolen her heart even though she's in the friend zone. This should be a piece of cake.

Unconditionally is both a sweet and sexy romantic comedy and a hilariously relatable look at finding happiness where you least expect it.
