Contentious, A Remington Family Law Novel

By: Marie Force

Narrated by: Vincent Skye, Andria Mae

He was supposed to protect her… not fall for her.

Carson Remington has one rule: don’t get attached. As the chief investigator for his family’s high-powered law firm, he knows better than anyone how messy love can get, especially after growing up in the midst of his parents’ brutal custody battle. He and his siblings made a vow long ago: no relationships they couldn’t walk away from.

Then Cresley Dane comes into his life.

She’s brilliant, beautiful and completely out of his league. A high-profile client with everything to lose with a young son who slowly, unexpectedly steals Carson’s heart. One minute Carson is doing his job. The next, he’s teaching Ty to surf, cheering him on at hockey games and counting down the minutes until he can see the woman who’s become impossible to forget.

Cresley doesn’t want casual. Carson doesn’t believe in forever.

But the deeper he falls into their world, the harder it becomes to hold the line. As his brother Julian goes all in with Isla and her kids, the Remington siblings’ long-standing vow begins to crack while secrets from Carson’s past threaten to shatter everything he’s building with Cresley and Ty.

Contentious is a swoony, emotional contemporary romance featuring a protective hero, a strong single mother, an adorable child, a found family and a hard-won happily ever after.

Very entertaining characters, story, performance

This is a very entertaining book centered around a large family of lawyers and associates of the lawyers. There are lots of moving parts. The characters are very colorful, smart, and carry baggage from their past. This story took a few chapters to really grab me, but, wow, it really is an enjoyable story. In this one Carson finds love. The performance is very good. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Wonderful Family

The Remington family is complex with nine children and a very public contentious divorce of the parents. The siblings were so affected by the divorce that they made a vow not to fall in love. But slowly they are breaking that vow one by one. Carson is falling for Cresley, a client with a young son. He couldn't understand how Julian could fall for Isla and her children until he's around Cresley and her son. Her ex turns very dangerous and puts them all in peril. This was a wonderful story with great narrators. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Another Remington Falls

I enjoyed Carson and Cresley ‘s story. Carson showed his true self and what he’s capable of when he sets his mind to it. After fighting to keep the oath his siblings and he took he finally gives in to his feeling for Cresley and Ty. With her crazy Ex stalking her and escalating, it is up to Carson and his team to keep them safe. I enjoyed the action, romance and family dynamics of this book. It reminds us all what is truly important in life and we only have a finite time to get it right. I look forward to the next book in this series.

The family ties

Loved the interaction between all the family members and each of their past and present
