In Binding Contract, Mason Hill and Charlotte Van Kempt's intoxicating and heartbreaking love story has truly come full circle. So much has changed since their first meeting until now and the stakes are much higher than before. After that explosive cliffhanger and revelation in Hostile Takeover, Charlotte is reeling from her parents' betrayal. The world now knows about her twisted relationship with Mason and now is the time for damage control. I'm thankful that this part of the story was glossed over quickly because I was more interested in the emotional turmoil of our two main characters and their relationship with each other. They have both experience tremendous character growth since the beginning and the love that they have for each other brought tears to my eyes."Love was never part of our agreement. It wasn't anywhere in the contract."The contrast between Mason's past and present self is extraordinary because he was initially painted as this villain at the start of the trilogy but meeting Charlotte allowed him to embrace his darker nature and the man he was always meant to be. I was initially unsure of him at first because he was so cruel to Charlotte but he undoubtedly redeems himself in this book. Similarly, Charlotte is no longer that naive and innocent girl in the beginning who merely wanted to save her family from ruin. The fact that she was willing to give up on her love for Mason so that he could move on from his revenge tells us all we need to know about her. I loved how kind, understanding, and compassionate she was to Mason and his siblings. Even though she was hurt and broken from her own parents' betrayal, she persevered and confronted them.
"You gave me everything, but I'm nothing without you. Nothing."Amelia Wilde's latest book is only the beginning of the Hill saga because we'll be getting Gabriel and Elise's book next in Power Play. As the second oldest brother, Gabriel shares similarities with Mason but uses his charm and sex appeal to accumulate secrets instead. Just like his brother, he hides a darker nature behind that carefree and charming smile while seeking revenge for his family. With Mason finally letting go of his revenge against those who murdered his parents, Gabriel is the one pursuing it now and he has set his eyes on Elise because of her parents' role in the conspiracy. I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy and I'm really looking forward to Jameson's book especially because he is one of those "Robin Hood" type of heroes who gets into all kinds of trouble. Remy is a sweetheart and is quite mischievous just like her brothers. Gabriel is the wild card because of his unassuming nature. I highly recommend this trilogy and book to those who love the revenge and forbidden romance trope with a broken and dirty talking hero who is highly possessive and desperately loves his sweet sunshine heroine.
