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.
Erin Lyon graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English and then worked in broadcast television at the Sacramento ABC affiliate for 10 years before going to law school. She is now a practicing civil attorney and blames all of the people in her life for not trying to talk her out of the whole “becoming a lawyer” thing. After finishing law school, she completed her first novel and began working on the sequels. Erin lives in Northern California with her husband of nearly 20 years (the Saint), her two daughters (the Girls), her three rescue dogs (the Boys), and three cats, who, let’s be real, belong only to themselves. The Contract Killers is her debut novel.
I was beyond excited to get to be on the Unconditionally book tour after reading the first in this series. Not only was I Love You Subject to the Following Terms and Conditions an amazing read, but it was also a cliff-hanger of sorts. So, to say that I’ve been eagerly anticipating Unconditionally, is an understatement.
All of the things I loved about the Ms. Lyon’s freshman novel, were here, in spades!
Kate’s completely endearing friendship with Logek is still an integral part of this story. What would a girl do without some amazing girlfriends?
These two seem to be soulmates, and written completely compatible with each other.
Also, my appreciation of how vulnerable-yet-tough Kate can be–hasn’t changed a bit. There’s no doubt in my mind that Ms. Lyon knows her characters. They all only got stronger in Unconditionally. Growing, ever-so-slightly as the story progresses.
One of the things I actually really appreciated about this story was how much more of Kate’s job, the reader was able to experience. In the first, she was just starting–and seemed to be more consumed with the three men in her life.
Here, Kate seemed to be doing her best at being the best attorney possible. And, there were some really humorous moments in there thrown in!
With a happy ending (depending on which man you were rooting for), lovable characters, and incredibly talented writing, Unconditionally is a book that no one should miss!
Love this review! 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Erin! I'm such a fan!
