In the previous book, Mason is dealing with the scandal of his sexual contract with Charlotte.
Again, comes the voice of reason, in the form of Leo Morelli, telling Mason to marry Charlotte.
Gabriel and Jameson Hill, are helping Mason.
Elise Bettencourt, Charlotte's best friend, is also trying to help her.
At this time, Mason already found out about the consortium and its members.
Charlotte suffers a great lost, though what her parents did to her, she still tries to help them.
But her loyalty is also to Mason, and all he has been through.
The knee he never can repair, the lost of his parents.
What his siblings had to get through, what had been taken away from them.
Mason has to decide if love is more important than revenge.

Nice conclusion to the series.
Charlette and Mason's arch and growth in character and relationship development ends in a wonderful conclusion in the last book.
I appreciated Charlotte finally giving her totally loyalty and love to Mason. Her begin able to stand strong against what her parents and what they did.
Mason finally accepting his feelings and love for Charlotte. Gong all in.
We get a glimpse of Elise and Gabriel's chemistry and interaction. Can I just say I absolutely loved Elise. She was smart, strong and sweet.
And again the family dynamics is absolute perfection. I love that this story has the family bonding and their interaction. I am now cautiously invested in some of these characters and their HEA.
On a personal note, again skimmed some of the sex scenes. But that's just me and I know some people love it.
On a final note. I am invested in these characters for the future books but very nervous. I became invested in the The Collector Trilogy after reading book one, but was sadden and to be honest angry that it had a RH or mmm/f in book two with no warning (thank goodness I read some reviews with the spoiler). So I would so appreciate if authors would be respectful of some readers who need that warning as it is NOT something I read in my romances. So excited but cautious for the next series of books for this family.

Binding Contract is the conclusion to the Wealth trilogy. We delve into more of Mason and Charlotte's unconventional love story. It's captivating and raw.
I had such a difficult time falling for Mason in book 1. Then in book 2 the author peeled back his heart and soul so we could get a little taste of his goodness. In this book, she breaks him right open so we can see everything that makes him click and makes him breathe revenge. We see what happens when he lets a little bit of sunshine into his darkness. He is cruel, he is ruthless, he is insatiable ... he is also caring and considerate in his own special way. It's needed, but he finds out that there is more to money, power and vengeance.
Charlotte was perfection for him. Despite everything he made her endure when she signed her Friday nights away to a broken and hurting man. She is the peacemaker, but in book 3 she rises from the ashes and becomes so much more. More than what her parents thought of her, more than even Mason could hope for her.
This book is a wild ride... this trilogy started with an intense revenge plot that turned into so much more. Holy crap, this book had some smoking hot scenes. I can't wait to see what this author has in store for us with the other Hill siblings.

Oh, boy, let me tell you, there is nothing I love more than some good groveling and Mason gave some of the best grovel here EVER!!!
This book begins right where Hostile Takeover ended. Charlotte's family has betrayed her, yet again, and Charlotte has a choice to make. As does Mason. I loved how he truly stepped up here. He'd been so guarded with his emotions in the first two books, so I NEEDED that from him so bad. I loved how he allowed himself to be truly vulnerable to Charlotte.
I was excited to see Charlotte come into her own as well as this book. I struggled with her in the beginning of this series. I thought she was way too meek and a total doormat to Mason, but that part of her is gone.
This was just an all around solid ending to this series. It definitely sets up some more story line for the rest of the Hill siblings in their overall quest for revenge. There are loose ends in the overall story of what was done to the Hill family so I can see the series continuing. But I loved the place where the author left Charlotte and Mason.
This is a twisty and sexy series that I highly recommend if you're a fan of revenge trope story lines. Can't wait to see what's next for the Hill family!
I was provided with an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
“Are you sorry?” Mason asks from behind me. His voice is electric with power. “Are you sorry that no other man will be able to keep you forever?”
“No,” I admit. “I’m not sorry.”

“You can let me fall, if you need that,” I murmur into her ear. “I’ll understand. But I hope you don’t. I hope you’ll keep me with you. Please, keep me with you.”

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.
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.
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 his eyes set 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.

Amelia Wilde has mastered the art of writing broken billionaire hero and his heartbreaking love story. Binding Contract brings the hard earned happily ever after of Mason Hill. It has a tension filled story line with lots of chemistry, raw emotions and twists.
Billionaire Mason Hill built up his business literally from ashes after losing his parents in an accident and while taking care of his siblings. But he never stopped seeking revenge. Charlotte Van Kempt was supposed to be a pawn in his game. A contract. Untill he fell for the enemy. But now their dirty contract is out and the world is crumbling around them. Will they get out alive and together?
This story adds to the long list of suspense and lust filled billionaire romance from Amelia Wilde. Mason has been broken physically and emotionally. He got himself together but the scar and pain is there. This is the story of his redemption and revival. He finally let go his guilt, anger and resentment to open up for love. And Charlotte is the reason. This woman is an exceptional one. It takes special power to love a man like Mason with his darkness. It was difficult to accept how her family played a key role in his ruin. But she is kind and compassionate and fair. Her fierceness and beautiful heart choose right. It was sexy and dirty and absolutely steamy. It was full of power plays and games and they finally beat their enemies together.

Holy goodness! I was not expecting for Mason Hill to turn so freaking swoony!!! In this conclusion Charlotte has a major battle with her family to tackle. She spent so much of herself doing everything she could to save her family's business and for them to turn on her the way that she did was just heartbreaking! But she has a plan to show them that they didn't break her.... and I was here for it! LOVED this story! And I loved the epilogue that leads into the next story! I am loving this Hill family and I absolutely want to see them all her their HEA!!!

Binding Contract
Written by: Amelia Wilde
When an author takes your emotions, runs them through a wringer and brings you an ending that is fit for a fairy tale, you know you’ve found someone who is always going to let you enjoy some dark often kinky secrets, make you buy stock in a tissue company and give you the ending that the characters deserved. Putting a sly smile on a readers face, well that's a bonus!
Amelia Wilde did just that in Binding Contract the last book in her Wealth series.
Mason Hill, devil in a suit, master of any Boardroom and a man who needs to defeat the past and move on to a future he never thought he would have.
Charlotte Van Kempt, ignored, feels she owes her parents only to have them turn on her. The one person who she could rely on was the one person who ruined her, or did he?
Yes, I cried my way through much of this book because Mason and Charlotte are fighting for the same thing and they finally figure it out, that they should fight together.
It’s hot, it’s sexy, it’s kinky and I loved every minute, tears or no tears! Is Mason Hill my new book boyfriend? Let’s just say he��s just been added to my very short list. I want more of him, and Charlotte and I want Amelia Wilde’s pre-order sneak peek as soon as possible.
Binding Contract gets my five stars, that being said five stars is just not enough!

This was the perfect ending for Charlotte and Mason. These two have been through so much and deserve nothing but happiness.
This book starts right where Hostile Takeover ended. Charlotte and Mason both go through a lot emotionally in this book. But what I loved most was that they all came together. Mason, Gabriel, Jameson, and Remy.
Everyone needs a Charlotte in their lives. She really is the sunshine we all need. And Mason...Oh Mason. I loved him in this book. He really comes into his feelings for not just Charlotte but also his siblings. He finally realizes he has people he can rely on and depend on.
This was a great ending to their story! Hopefully, we see more of these two in future books. I'm super excited to read Gabriel's story!

Binding Contract picks up where Hostile Takeover ended, and it have me at the edge of my seat. I couldn't put it down. Love this trilogy so much!! I was not expecting to cry, but I totally did. Amelia knows what to do to hit me right in the heart. Lol
I love Mason and Charlotte even more. Their journey together as they grow was everything. Two very different people coming together always gets me. The family dynamic of the Hill's makes me want more from this world.
Cameos of Leo and Hades was a bonus!!!

I read this book in one sitting. What an epic conclusion to Mason and Charlotte's story!! It picks right up where Hostile Takeover ends, and doesn't stop until the very last page. I love Charlotte's growth, and Mason's vulnerability. And the sex was HAF. There's revenge, angst, laughter, tears, and plenty of sexy times. I'm so glad to see that Gabriel is getting a book next too!!

Amelia always knows how to end her series with a bang, and this is such a dynamically engrossing conclusion to the twisted love story between Mason Hill and his Charlotte Van Kempt. Rife with emotional tension, explosive sensuality, and delicious twists, Binding Contract finally brings their challenges to a head and helps them find the long awaited HEA despite all the tumultuous moments they’ve had along the way.
This all started with a man bent on revenge, a man willing to cross any line and twist his world in a way that ensures that those that have caused his suffering pay for their transgressions. But, of course, his quest has been complicated by his thirst and desire for his collateral damage- the girl he coerced with a contract. But unlike legal contracts, this one has seemed mutable- the terms and conditions keep evolving has Mason has come to terms with his tension between his desire for revenge and his more-than-desire for Charlotte.
Amelia always so brilliantly plays with the concept of power and “ownership” in her series- where on the surface the broken and depraved alphaholes take possession of the unassuming heroines, where they are the owners. But as her stories evolve, her men do too- they find new purpose in their connection with their love, sometimes it’s redemption, sometimes freedom or healing, sometimes forgiveness, but ultimately the outcome is a shift in power. We find an empowered heroine, whose love and forgiveness is often what owns the heart and souls of our heroes. And Mason and Charlotte are such a dynamic example of this- with the concept of a contract threaded throughout. Ultimately, this is an exploration of the spoken and unspoken terms of their hearts, and how the flimsy piece of paper that tied them together has become a pathway to coping, redemption, and emotional freedom. The broken Mason finds a pathway to live his life through a different lens, with a different purpose- because of his love of the enemy. And Charlotte finds a pathway to her own power and self-actualization, by loving the man that sought to destroy her. Oh yes, it’s so delicious and, of course, we have all that Amelia suspense and delicious smutty fun mixed in- the metaphysical paired with the deliciously depraved. A great end to their trilogy- love wins again.

Binding Contract was the PERFECT conclusion to Mason and Charlotte’s story! I have absolutely loved getting to follow them throughout their trilogy; I am quite honestly obsessed with them. Mason is one of my favorite romance heroes. I love that he is such a mix of sweet and sexy all rolled into one. Charlotte is so strong, and I enjoyed watching her persevere amongst everything that happened with her family. I flew through this book and was simultaneously excited and sad to see how their story ended—I will never be able to get enough of Mason and Charlotte! Amelia Wilde has quickly become one of my favorite romance authors. I’ve read 9 books from her now and have fallen in love with all of them. I can’t wait to see what she writes next!

A devastating loss has forced Mason changed the course of his life and shaped him into the man he has become. Charlotte was supposed to be his weapon of revenge but instead she has brought to his dark life and even though events have turned his life upside down he can’t imagine a future without her.
Charlotte has been betrayed by the very people she was trying to help and the man who should be her enemy has become her champion. She is no longer the woman who put aside her own needs and desires for those she loves and has become stronger as she fights for what she wants.
The chemistry is incinerating, and their love only grows stronger with every challenge they face. Charlotte and Mason are destined to be together, and I enjoyed their interactions with his siblings and look forward to their stories.

Amelia Wilde has done it again. She has added another book boyfriend to my long list with Mason Hill. I was infatuated with him and his wicked ways in the first couple books but fell head over heels in love with him in this final book. Charlotte and Mason stole my heart and never gave it back. Their chemistry is off the charts, hot, sweet, dirty and overall perfect. The author once again penned an unputdownable book. Take all my stars! Bravo!
February 23, 2022
I loved this book! I want to be Mason’s sweet thing. My favorite part was reading him tell her how much she meant to him. I loved reading how she helped him. Charlotte was a good person, and no matter how many times he thought he wasn’t a good person, Charlotte was there to prove him wrong. I love the family dynamic and this series.

Cierra todo con moño y es menos hot que el anterior .
Sigue sin cerrarme ella. Porqué es como es??? Misterio.

EPIC CONCLUSION TO MASON AND CHARLOTTE'S STORY!!!!
Binding Contract picks up right at the mouth dropping cliffhanger Hostile Takeover left us with.
When Charlotte first went to see Mason (in Net Worth) she could have never imagined the web of lies, secrets and betrayal she was getting herself entangled in. We know that Charlotte did whatever she had to in order to try and save her family's business and reputation and now her most intimate secret has been exposed by none other than the very same ones she was trying to protect - her parents.
Ugh - that made me so mad. I can't stand the dear VanKempt parents, especially mommy dearest, who I know is the mastermind out of the two. That woman is vile, evil and manipulating. She doesn't care who she takes down in her own plan for revenge. Poor Charlotte has got to be one of the most loyal ones in this Wealth World. She's logical and tries to reason with everyone, but all her efforts are met with heartbreaking betrayal. Despite it all, with each stab to the heart she rises and holds her head up a little higher. Now that the world knows her secret, Charlotte is vulnerable to the criticism of the media and those in the Society. The thing is that this time around Charlotte isn't alone. She has Mason and the Hill Siblings behind her and together they are a force to be reckoned with.
"I don't own anything. Not even the secret of my contract with him.
This is my favorite book out of the three for so many reasons. I just absolutely love Charlotte's character growth. She may appear all sunlight on the outside, but on the inside she is fire. She is so determined to stand up to her parents even if she is standing alone. She is so strong and independent; so honest and forgiving, but she isn't a fool and she is done letting others control her life. I LOVE IT. I also really loved that we got more of the Hill siblings and even got a chapter in Jameson's POV and Gabriel's POV. All three Hill brothers have grown up with their own personal vendetta. That's all they have known growing up - revenge. I really liked the way Amelia wrote the dynamics of the relationship between the brothers and how different yet alike they are. They all had to come to terms that things are changing - but just because Mason has fallen in love thus changing the course of his revenge plans doesn't mean that all the other Hills are fine with letting it go- especially Gabriel.
While Binding Contract gave us closure to Mason and Charlotte's story, there are still a lot of secrets surrounding the families of the Society - I loved the hints of the Bettencourt family's involvement and I am so looking forward to learning more and getting more of Gabriel and Elise in Power Play.

Name someone who writes better character development than Amelia Wilde … I’ll wait…
I gotta hand it to this woman, the emotional work she puts me through in each of her series! Binding Contract just served Mason on a platter. Everything that made him… Mason, his vulnerability, his pain, his relentless pursuit of justice, revenge, how he was brought down to his knees, literally, by his woman. One he unleashed his cruelty on, one who took it all and shaped it, them into the best relationship. That scene in the ballroom, when they were dancing, everything about it, from words, confessions and actions, brought me to my end. (The cameo!)
While Mason is my third favorite after Hades and Leo, Charlotte is my favorite FMC. The person she started out as is long gone. It’s almost like she’s a new person. With everything that happened with her parents… she overcame so much. And the way Mason was there to support her, help her and just be there for her, despite what it meant to him and his family… If that’s not love, I don’t care, I want it!
The Hill family is goals. The snippet we got about Gabriel is enough to make my imagination run wild! I’m hoping we get books for the rest of the siblings!
This is where I brag, I even got Amelia’s blessing to do so :D A while ago, we were discussing her books, how a lot of her MCs suffer from something. She mastered the art of writing broken antiheroes but somehow all their physical sufferings came to an end by the conclusion of their trilogies. So we were discussing Mason, and how his injury and pain were the hardest to overcome. She wrote a chapter for ME, based on OUR talk! While reading I thought it was the epic cameos but then I reached a scene and I just knew it. And my heart went all soft.
If it’s not obvious, I highly recommend this entire series! I don’t know who I want more of at this point, the Morelli family or the Hill family, I just know I’m ready.

“I want every part of her. I want to hurt her and soothe her. I want to punish her and worship her. I want her with me. Please, I want her with me.”
🖤
Review: Binding Contract by Amelia Wilde. Wealth trilogy book 3.
🖤
What an amazing way to finish this trilogy. Amelia pull out all stops to bring closure to Mason and Charlotte’s romance. It was powerful, loving, angst and so steamy. Things pick up right were they were left off, with her parents showing what really matters to them, newsflash, it wasn’t her.
I really felt the Charlotte’s pain, being betrayed by its bad enough, but coming from the ones who she did everything for? Hard fall. At first I was a little annoyed by her, at how she still tried to find the good and such. But soon things started to improve. With each chapter, she showed her strength and the true beauty within herself. What I liked the most is that she didn’t want to prove things for Mason, but she really wanted to prove herself that she was worthy.
At the other side Mason was showing all his sides, the cruel, the dominant, the one who would take care of his siblings ‘till the end of time and would protect not only his business, but Charlotte with all his force. The process of him to discover his love for her was truly incredible and I fell a little hard for him when he let the balance of power between them to be equal or when he let himself be (super) vulnerable, but only for her.
Maybe he needed her to easy all his pain, the daughter of his enemy. I was kind of surprised over some events in this book and I loved the end for this great couple. It was deserving. Now I can’t wait to read Gabriel’s story, besides everything, exhales BDE and I’m so excited!

Binding Contract by Amelia Wilde is the third and final book in the Wealth Trilogy and UNF; it blew me away, mesmerized me, kept me on tenterhooks, wrapped me in a warm hug, and so much more!
Mason continues to be so layered, so intriguing, a man that I fall deeper in love with as we find out more about what makes him tick, what gives him life, and everything that he has to give in return. It's sheer beauty.
Charlotte is sunshine, even on her rainiest day, and it is so very endearing. I just want her to have her happiness, to love and be loved.
All the Hill siblings are amazing! Textured characters you can't help but want to know more about, and Amelia absolutely delivered on this!
This story is a phenomenal resolution to the trilogy. Tissues to hand is a strong suggestion. There is chemistry, there is tension, there is mystery, there is intrigue, there is drama, there is loyalty, there is betrayal, and so much more! So, what are you waiting for? It's time to sign up for the final time! You won't regret making that deal!
P. S. Chapters 10 and 11. If you know, you know. Holy moly!
P. P. S. A certain brother with a certain friend?! I. Am. Intrigued! Bring on Power Play!

Dang!! Amelia Wilde has a way to pull you into a story and in the beginning loath a character but somehow finds a way to chip away at your heart and soul to love him at some point. This series was about revenge for the death of his parents but somewhere alone the way it all changed course.
Mason and Charlotte started out life similar but Mason's took a turn and he had to fight to keep is siblings together and alive. Charlotte also changed but later when her father could not keep going at the family company so she took over. This lead to them meeting years later when Charlotte needed help to keep her families company going and not lose it. This was Mason's chance to take revenge but he didn't expect Charlotte to rock his world.
Mason was someone you hated but also sympathized with for what he went through. Charlotte was just trying to keep things going so they both struggled in a similar way but when they came together it was like the Fourth of July as the the sparks were HOT. I have loved the journey these 2 went on and am so happy for their HEA. If there were 2 people who needed it, it was them.
Now I need to know what Gabriel is up to as he has is own agenda....

This is the final book in this highly explosive, sexy trilogy.
Mason and Charlotte were brought together by his desire for revenge and her unfortunate desperation and feelings of duty.
They made an unconventional contract that tied them together in a way that has had an unexpected affect….it created emotional bonds.
Their journey has been filled with so many twists and turns.
There’s big and shocking events and revelations around so many corners.
There’s betrayal, grief and Mason’s extreme desire for vengeance.
It’s an action and emotionally packed saga, plus it’s sexy as sin!
It’s a very twisted and kinky love story with surprising emotions.
Through anger, grief and betrayal they have been through so much both separately and together.
I love that the characters and their motivations aren’t black and white.
I love the morally grey area the characters live in.
The sexy and erotic factor is high and I think it’s an area where this author brings fresh and extremely sexy scenarios.
I love the characters and their journey, it’s an enthralling, emotional and hot escape!

BINDING CONTRACT – the perfect conclusion to Charlotte and Mason’s unconventional love story that makes all the bumps along the way more than worth it. Steamy, captivating, twisted.
After having such a difficult time getting a read on Mason and truly falling for him, I’m happy to report I’m firmly on the Mason stan train now, lol. Ugh, the layers to this man. I loved discovering to learn what makes him tick and do the things he does, all while seeing a slightly softer side of this ruthless, vicious, demanding man.
Speaking of demanding. Lorrrd, Ms. Wilde and her sex scenes *fans self* Just … whew. So, basically, this trilogy is the whole package: a mean hero, a fierce heroine, amazing character development, an enthralling, twisty storyline, and an intense love story with panty-melting smexiness.
Now I’ll be here, not-so patiently waiting for the next Hill’s book.

This is the third and final piece of Mason and Charlotte's story and I found it decadently delicious! It picks up right after the cliffy in book two, so just in case you are unaware, you must read all these books and in order to get their complete romance. These two gave my heart quite the workout. Taut drama, scorching heat, raw emotion, stunning twists and painful turmoil are skillfully combined with vicious betrayals and brutal intensity to create captivating and consuming tale that is lushly potent and seductively addictive. If you are looking for a series that is going to suck you right in, have your temperature blazing, melt your heart and cause some swooning, you are going to want to grab this right now! This is my objective review that I am posting of my own accord.

Mason & Charlotte are everything. The conclusion to their story was pure perfection. Mason really stepped up his game and came through for me in this book. The way he accepts his feelings and grows was perfect. Mason really does come into the understanding that he is not alone and he doesn’t have to handle anything by himself he has family standing right with him and then there is Charlotte she is his perfect match. Together these two have been through so much and the emotions in this book run high but when it all comes down to it they are all there for one another. This trilogy was amazing and I would highly recommend you grabbing it!! I cannot wait to see where Gabriel’s story takes us next!

Binding Contract is a billionaire, age gap, virgin heroine, contemporary romance. It’s is the third book in the wealth trilogy and if is told in a dual POV. You need to read Net Worth and Hostile Takeover before reading this instalment. The book starts right where Hostile Takeover ended and doesn’t let up until the last page.
Overall I’ve loved reading the continuation and final part of Charlotte and Mason’s story. I loved seeing Charlotte grow into a stronger person and I also enjoyed seeing Mason’s vulnerability. Their chemistry is really hot and they are perfect for each other. The book is full of raw emotion, revenge and angst. I loved seeing that Gabriel is getting his own book.

Mason and Charlotte are pure perfection! I just love them! After I read the first book in this series I didn’t think there was any way for Mason to redeem himself. Man was I wrong. I loved seeing how much growth he had during this book, while also staying true to his dominating ways. Charlotte has a nickname and she lives up to it because she is absolute sunshine. I have loved this series from beginning to end and I really can’t wait to see what happens next in Gabriel’s story. This book, this trilogy, is an absolute must read.
