This book started so good it felt it was going to be great and honestly it could have if not for the writing style and wording. It was so cringe absolutely a disaster.
The MC was great until the way the Author killed the vibe with him and the FMC she was like a rollercoaster one paragraph she was in love and content and the next she was not in love and was adamant to ever do what she was told. The words use on repeat Greek this Greek that .. you must be Greek, Greek blood blah blah blah and just a major destroyer add the words being used as if the story was back in the 17th century and then the next line it was a teen speaking for like 2024.
Of the Author really wants to get top reviews she needs to take a moment and write these stories like she has the passion and dedication.
This story was great it really could have been amazing it had the characters unfortunately the development and the disaster of yes no yes no maybe or okay no oh wait yes .. that’s what it was all about ..

This author is fairly new to me but one that I have added to my list of author's who I follow. The writing is excellent, the characters are well developed and the storylines aren't your usual submissive main female character and and overly dominate main male character.
Madison and Zeus' story begins in a way that some stories in this genre start, but quickly becomes something else with a smart feisty heroine and a seasoned (age gap) main male character. She is responsible for her niece and nephew and step-mother while her sister lies in a facility in a coma.
Age gap novels need to be well done in that they are dealing with characters from different generations as well as backgrounds/histories. I felt as though Madison was (an old soul) as she navigated her arrangement with Zeus as the plot and storyline takes many developments and set-backs as the story unfolds. The story is filled with everything that I look for in this genre and was infused with humor, attraction and lust as the story unfolds.
Zeus's character has his plate full with getting the revenge he craves as well as keeping Madison and her family safe from the people who want to destroy him as well as anyone close to him. The story has all the elements and layers that I expect from a well written book in this genre.

Interesting
Interesting storyline. Some of the content was a little cringy, but other readers may eat that cheesy stuff up. There was a lot going on for one book, but I appreciate how the ending tied the story up with a nice little bow.

I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for choosing me.
Fast-paced and interesting.
Zeus and Madison are both stubbornly attempting to avoid commitment, and its no surprise when they finally admit their feelings for one another.
It's a quick read that will leave you smiling.

I really enjoyed this book! It was hard to put down and I finished it in just 2 days! Desperation, desire and both main characters hell bent on avoiding commitment. The ending felt a little too predictable and neatly wrapped up but overall a great read!

I tried with this one, but in just the first few pages, it was so cringy that I didn't want to keep going with it. And I do like a silly romance, but this didn't feel like it was worth my time to keep going.
I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review, so I feel bad sometimes about reviewing a small author poorly, but it wasn't a winner for me sadly.

Seduced by Contract is the first book in the Konstanidis Family series, and it pulled me in from the very beginning.
Madison, desperate to provide for her family, takes a job dancing at an exclusive club. One fateful night, she unknowingly dances for Zeus, the owner’s cold and arrogant billionaire brother, instead of the client she was assigned to. Zeus, used to always getting what he wants, is instantly captivated by Madison, and he’ll stop at nothing to have her.
When Madison turns down his initial advances, Zeus presents her with a proposal she can’t refuse. However, Madison flips the script by demanding a contract to protect herself. As their arrangement unfolds, Zeus, known for quickly tiring of his conquests, finds himself completely undone by Madison, who gets under his skin like no one else.
The story is packed with emotion and tension as both characters navigate their personal battles. Madison’s fight to protect her niece and nephew adds depth to her character, while Zeus is consumed by his quest for revenge on behalf of his family. And let’s not forget the spice, give me a sexy, morally gray Greek billionaire like Zeus any day of the week!
The ending tied up Madison and Zeus’s story beautifully, but it left me eager to see what’s in store for the other characters in this series. I’ll definitely be continuing with the Konstanidis Family series to find out!

Zeus is an arrogant billionaire who always gets what he wants and never hears the word no. This is an age gap, billionaire romance. Madison is our young heroine who has been put in charge of raising her sister's two toddlers and she's in a bind. The social worker wants to remove the kids from her custody unless Madison can find a more suitable home and a stable job and soon. She gets a job as a dancer in a high end club and accidentally dances for the wrong man, who happens to be Zeus. He is entranced by her and makes her an offer she can't refuse, in exchange for her belonging to him for six months. I love a damsel in distress story who needs saving by a hot, rich billionaire. If you love this type of story too, then this one is for you.

Well, this might be a first... This book could have been way longer! I wanted it to be longer. I needed their love to grow more.. I needed more of the beginnings of their relationship and more character building. Just more. more. more.
This book was good. Plot was good but could have been lengthened or giving us more time to deal with each turmoil. That's all, just more. I can't fault this book - it was so good! If you're looking for a good billionaire romance.. you've found it!

This story gave me so many Harlequin Romance vibes with a ton more spice! And I loved every minute of it :)
There was insta-lust turned love, a sexy older Greek hero, innocent heroine, a little mystery, a couple of villians and a whole lot of spice!
I loved Zeus - from his possessiveness and single minded pursuit of Madison to his softening demeanor when he started to irrevocably fall in love with her. His determination to care and protect her at any cost. Loved it! His relationship with his brothers - yes, please! The big gruff billionaire easily won over by the twins! Gah, so freaking cute! He was everything I love in a romance Hero.
But . . . Madison was my absolute favorite! She wasn't a push over or a doormat. She went into their contract with eyes wide open and a solid determination to NOT fall in love with Zeus. Her love and commitment to her family was inspiring and I absolutely loved that she didn't play the back and forth game. She was upfront, outspoken and unapologetically genuine. She stood up for herself and went for what she wanted and deserved. Something our old school Harlequin heroines always lacked. It was honestly empowering to see the heroine strong in her own right. It didn't hurt that Zeus was so down bad for her that his loyalty and devotion were next level perfection!
I was as charmed by her as our Hero was, lol! It was refreshing to see a young heroine actually acting mature beyond her years, not just in words but in her actions too.
The chemistry between our MCs was also off the charts. This is definitely a read to remember and meeting the other Kostanidis' brothers has me feeling a little feral for the next book! Single dad x nanny trope! Sign me up!!!
Favorites Bits:
🖤 Madison 🥰 such a baddie!
🖤 The beach house - Zeus' realization that Madison is the one *swoon*
🖤 The twins and their instant bond with Zeus!

Seduced by Contract by D.A. Lemoyne delivers a gripping and provocative romance that dives into the complexities of power, desire, and sacrifice. The story follows Zeus Kostanidis, a ruthless billionaire banker who believes everything—and everyone—has a price, and Madison Foster, a hardworking young woman desperate to protect the people she loves. Their worlds collide in a swirl of fiery chemistry and moral conflict when Zeus makes Madison an offer she can't afford to refuse.
Zeus is a quintessential alpha male: cold, commanding, and utterly unrelenting. Despite his arrogance, D.A. Lemoyne crafts him with enough depth to make his character more than a one-dimensional billionaire. His cynicism and lack of belief in love make his desire for Madison all the more intriguing. Madison, on the other hand, is a refreshing contrast to the typical romance heroine. She is resilient and fiercely determined, driven by the need to keep a promise and provide for those who depend on her. Her decisions are not simple or easy, and her internal struggles make her deeply relatable.
The tension between Zeus and Madison is electrifying, with their dynamic straddling the line between seduction and empowerment. While Zeus wields immense power, Madison is no mere victim; she challenges him by asserting her own terms, creating a fascinating balance in their relationship. The novel leans heavily on themes of morality, control, and the sacrifices people make for those they love. Madison’s predicament forces readers to grapple with questions about where the line is drawn between necessity and compromise.
D.A. Lemoyne’s writing is evocative and immersive, drawing readers into a world of luxury and ambition while maintaining a keen focus on the emotional stakes of the story. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, the dialogue sharp, and the narrative pace keeps the pages turning. While the book adheres to familiar billionaire romance tropes, it distinguishes itself with layered characters and an emotional depth that resonates.
Seduced by Contract is an intense and addictive read, perfect for fans of high-stakes romance with a moral edge. With its blend of sizzling attraction and heartfelt emotion, it offers a thought-provoking take on power dynamics and personal agency, making it a standout in the genre.

Their lives intertwine in a whirlwind of intense attraction and moral dilemmas when Zeus presents Madison with an offer she can't refuse.
Zeus is a quintessential alpha male: arrogant, commanding, and utterly uncompromising. However, Lemoyne skillfully avoids creating a one-dimensional character, adding depth to his cynicism and disbelief in love, making his desire for Madison all the more intriguing. Madison, in stark contrast to many typical romance heroines, is resilient and fiercely independent, driven by her unwavering commitment to those who depend on her. Her choices are complex and emotionally charged, making her a relatable and compelling character.
The tension between Zeus and Madison is electric, their dynamic a captivating dance between seduction and empowerment. While Zeus holds immense power, Madison is far from a passive victim; she asserts her own terms, creating a fascinating power balance within their relationship. The novel delves into profound themes of morality, control, and the sacrifices we make for the ones we love. Madison's situation forces readers to confront difficult questions about the boundaries between necessity and compromise.
Lemoyne's writing is evocative and immersive, transporting readers into a world of wealth and ambition while remaining deeply focused on the emotional core of the story. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, the dialogue is sharp, and the pace is relentlessly engaging.

Another solid book by D.A. Lemoyne. In Seduced by Contract, we meet Zeus Kostanidis, who is Christos and Odin Lykaios's cousin. Similar to Odin, Zeus is seeking revenge for the disgrace his family faced when Zeus was only twenty-two years old. His brother, Ares, owns an exclusive nightclub called SIN. This is where Zeus meets Madison Foster, by mistake at that. Madison was hired by Ares because they wanted her to dance for a Spanish businessman that were trying to win over. Instead of dancing for the client, Madison dances for Zeus. From that point on, Zeus is obsessed and would do anything to have Madison.
Madison is nineteen years old. She has seen a lot of bad in life at such a young age. She trusts no one. She didn't want to take the job at SIN, but she had no other choice, because she is currently raising her niece and nephew because her sister is currently in a coma. When she accidentally dances for the wrong client, Madison is in awe of Zeus. Surprised when he is waiting for out back when she is finished insisting, he takes her home because he doesn't like the idea of her taking the train at that time of night. Zeus has a proposal; Madison offers a counterproposal. Everything changes so quickly, but their desire for each other is completely evident.
I also really enjoyed the plot going on in the background so to speak. How would Zeus's revenge play out? Will Madison's sister ever wake up from her coma? Will the caseworker for the twins give Eleanor & Madison a break? Everything wrapped up nicely at the end except a few things, but I have a feeling it will be addressed in another book since I think this character will get their own book and HEA!

Madison is a 19 YO who has a lot on her plate. Her Sister is in a comma and she is trying desperately to raise her twin 1 year olds with her stepmother. The problem is that since her stepmother needs to care for the kiddos, she is the breadwinner. Making matters worse, there is a social worker who is itching to take custody of the twins because she finds them to be unfit guardians. Desperate she takes a job as a dancer at an exclusive club and ends up dancing for Zeus. Zeus is a man who always gets what he wants and he makes Madison an offer to be his. Madison is determined to say no when the social worker says she has to have a stable job and a better home with a yard in two weeks. That leads to a contract that provides for Madison with a home and a job with an employment contract so it makes it all legitimate. In exchange Madison belongs to Zeus for 6 months.
This is an Age Gap that on the surface seems a little cringy given the fact that Madison is a teenager (19) and a virgin and Zeus is 34. But once you get past that it’s a steamy and entertaining story. I really love D.A. Lemoyne because despite the fact that you think there is a clear power dynamic that is skewed toward Zeus, Lemoyne write this book in a ways hat give Madison ownership in the decisions and really the path of their relationship. Even though Madison and Zeus have a bit of an Instalove attraction, Zeus is the one who ultimately decides first he cannot live without Madison. I loved this story and I can’t wait for the next installment.

D. A. Lemoyne has done fan-fucking-tastic job at writing the story line and all the characters. Madison is a such badass. She is protective of her family and will go to any lengths to provide a good life for them. She is loyal, hardworking, loving and caring. She is straightforward and doesn’t take shit from people. Zeus’s compliments Madison’s character perfectly. I like that he too is straightforward and doesn’t beat around the bush. He takes care of his family in every way possible. He might come off as snobbish and arrogant billionaire but he is sweet, caring, understanding and supportive of people he loves. Banter between Madison and Zeus was entertaining to read. Both being stubborn and having trust issues leads them into getting frequent arguments and fights. But these fight doesn’t stop them from pursuing each other. In the beginning their relationship was based on lust but as they kept spending time together, they saw each other’s true side and end up falling in love with each other. Flow of the story is well thought of and plot twists and revelations kept me super invested. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend this book if you like any of above mentioned tropes.

I have mixed feelings about this one. It's not that I didn't like it, it's just that some things bothered me. Some of the wording is off. The social worker tells Madison that "they need to live in a house that's at least 100 square meters". Americans don't use this system of measure. Especially when it comes to real estate. Everything is measured in square feet or acreage. We say yard or backyard, not garden. Madison refers to the twins new bedroom as their "dorm". What is that?? And the repetitive use of "mom" every time Madison spoke to her stepmother was so odd. I understand that in stories the author doesn't want to give away the big secret or big reveal till the end. The way D.A. Lemoyne does it here is aggravating. We know Zues (don't get me started on the these Kostanidis names) has an issue with someone with the last name Gordon. It's not that I need to figure it out BEFORE the big reveal, but there are too many moving parts to it. Is he trying to bankrupt Gordon? Did he sign a contract to marry Gordon's daughter in a year? I've read A LOT of mafia to know that's what that sounded like in the beginning of the book. It's all confusing though and making it a little difficult to read this one. Maybe this one was just over edited. I certainly wasn't expecting THAT twist in the end. I will not continue this series.

This is such an incredibly captivating story. It tells the tale of Zeus Kostanidis, the eldest of the Kostanidis Greek Gods. These four billionaire brothers are deeply bonded and fiercely protective of what they consider theirs—or as they like to say, "what is mine." The story is packed with mystery, angst, betrayal, lies, countless secrets, and, of course, romance. Madison and Zeus first cross paths when Madison takes a job as an exotic dancer at Ares's Exotic Club, owned by Zeus's brother. Madison begins dancing because she needs money to support her sister Brooklyn's twins, Soraya and Silas, who are being cared for by her stepmother. Madison accidentally gives Zeus a private dance, mistaking him for a Spanish client, and this chance encounter sparks their journey toward love. Zeus, burdened by a tragic past—his mother’s death in a car accident with her lover and his father’s subsequent suicide—struggles to understand how to love. The twists and turns of the story reveal that not everything is as it seems, unraveling lies, secrets, and betrayal, but ultimately leading to an overwhelming love between Zeus and Madison.

This is my first book by the author and I’m already addicted to this series. I can’t wait to meet all of the brothers.
This follows the story of Zeus, an alpha billionaire, and Madison, a strong willed working class woman. What follows is a clash of wills, intense chemistry and combustion.
The build up was done nicely and filled with tension and anticipation (will they or will they not). The first few chapters were grating on my nerves with the constant woe is me whining of the FMC. But I’m glad I stuck with it as the book was a diamond in the raw.
The author’s writing is a balance between the worlds of the rich and everyday folk trying to make ends meet. It is a celebration of love, power, dynamics and family.
I loved the little footnotes scattered throughout the book and the picture was a great idea even though I wanted more.
If you love age gap romance with a sprinkling of Greek culture then this is your book.
I received an advanced copy and the review is mine and voluntary.

4.5/5⭐️
Madison desperately needs money to support her family. She ends up being hired as a dancer at an exclusive club owned by Ares. While working there, she attracts the attention of Zeus, Ares’s older brother and an arrogant banker.
For her family’s sake, she decides to agree to Zeus’s proposal to be his lover in exchange for what she needs to protect her family. To protect herself, she sets some conditions in place for a proper contract.
Despite Madison’s young age, she is fearless and independent due to her experiences in life. She trusts no one and does not believe in fairytales but oh boy, Zeus is here to be her arrogant and morally grey prince. I loved how he is not afraid to be honest with his feelings for Madison and how despite the huge difference in power and status between them, he never pushes her too far or forces her to go beyond her boundaries.
I enjoyed seeing Christos and Odin in this book as well and I can’t wait for the remaining books in the series, especially Brooklyn’s.
