ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 16, 2020
As a former FBI agent, Flynn Coleman was made for his work with Blackbridge Security.
He’s highly trained, has a skill set meant for analysis and investigation, and meant to do important things.
Yet, he’s chasing a twenty-year-old starlet’s daughter around New York City because the spoiled brat never learned how to behave.
Remington Blair doesn’t need a babysitter, but her parents insist.
Keeping Flynn Coleman on his toes will be the most fun she’s had in a while.
Besides, just hearing him call her name with that accent is enough to keep her running.

REVIEW:CONTINGENCY PLAN is the third instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult BLACKBRIDGE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Blackbridge Security (BBS). This is twenty-nine year old, former FBI agent and second in command at BBS Flynn Coleman, and soon to be twenty-one year old, Remington Blair’s story line. CONTINGENCY PLAN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Flynn and Remington) CONTINGENCY PLAN follows the forbidden relationship between twenty-nine year old, former FBI agent and security specialist Flynn Coleman, and soon to be twenty-one year old, Remington Blair. Flynn Coleman’s latest assignment is ‘babysitting’ a twenty-year old spoiled, little rich girl, who pushes Flynn’s buttons at every opportunity. With her famous mother and step-father, all but absent from her life, Remington Blair has a penchant for getting into trouble, and making her security detail work for every penny they are paid but something about Flynn Coleman makes Remington sit up and take notice including her perceived inability to get a rise out of our story line hero. What ensues is the tempestuous but building relationship between Remington and Flynn, and the potential fall-out as Flynn finds himself back in St. Louis for crossing the line one too many times.
Flynn Coleman knows better than to get involved with the client’s daughter but Remington Blair doesn’t make it easy, walking around naked, and desperately trying to seduce the man hired to ensure she is safe at all times. Remington Blair is a danger to herself but our heroine is starved for affection and pursues every available opportunity to get the attention she doesn’t get at home. Flynn Coleman never thought he would fall for Remington Blair but battling his feelings threatens to spiral out of control when Remington disappears, and the boys at Blackbridge Security are unable to locate the woman with whom Flynn will fall in love.
The relationship between Flynn and Remington begins as a job, a job Remington is determined to make miserable for our story line hero. Remington has a reputation of getting herself into trouble, and every security detail before Flynn has been unable to control the woman in question. Crossing the line is about to pull Flynn out of Remington’s life but Remington isn’t willing to sit back and let the world tear her down, one more time. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text-the sexual energy is palpable and hot. There are some scenes of spanking, used as punishment between our story line couple.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we have met in previous story lines. We are reintroduced to security specialist and Blackbridge Security (BBS) owner Deacon Black, and Annalise Grimaldi (Hostile Territory #1), and IT specialist Wren Nelson and Whitney Nelson (Shot in the Dark 2) Finnegan Jenkins (BBS mechanical engineer) , Ignacio Torres, Jude Morris, Quinten Lake, Gaige, and Brooks, as well as Wren’s dirty mouthed African Grey parrot Puff Daddy.
CONTINGENCY PLAN is a story of family and relationships; disappointment and struggle; desperation and rejection; forgiveness and love. The premise is engaging and captivating; the romance is spicy and seductive; the characters are energetic, colorful and charismatic but it took a little convincing for me to warm up to our story line heroine. Her immature behavior and attitude left much to be desired.
