He’s made a solemn vow to his siblings—and he fully intends to honor it
Julian Remington, the eldest of nine siblings, is on the fast track to senior partnership at Remington Family Law, the renowned Los Angeles firm founded by his grandfather and now run by his father. As an attorney to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Julian is a sought-after guest at all the A-list parties and considered one of the most eligible bachelors in town. And he plans to stay that way.
After their parents dragged him and his siblings through an ugly, protracted custody battle, the last thing any of them wants is to put themselves in such a vulnerable position. No, their plan is to stay single and live on their own terms, answerable to no one as they spend their days dealing with some of society’s most difficult challenges. The minute he finishes up at the office, Julian heads out to play a gig with his band or to work out his stress at Club Quantum. Life is good, and he wouldn’t change a thing.
When a close friend asks Julian to help his sister, who’s on the run from a violent marriage, he quickly finds himself ensnared in a trap he never saw coming until it’s much too late to turn back. Could the notoriously commitment-averse bad-boy-about-town end up with a shackle around his ankle and a ring on his finger after all? What about the vow he made with his siblings to never make themselves vulnerable by falling in love or getting married?
ACRIMONIOUS begins an exciting new series featuring the Remington family—brothers Julian, Griffin, Carson, Ethan, Jackson and Roman, and their sisters, Jordan, Kaidan and Gillian. This tight-knit group went to hell and back together, and while they’d take a bullet for each other in life, anything goes when they face off in court. Watch for book 2, CONTENTIOUS, featuring Carson Remington, coming soon!

REVIEW
A new family series from Marie Force who does the big family series really well. This series has 9 siblings to find their HEA (and perhaps their parents too). This series will have an ongoing storylines with each couple present throughout the series. A good read though I did find some parts too repetitive (ie too many mentions of Julian not doing relationships and why; Isla’s inner thoughts of becoming involved in a relationship right after her marriage imploded) which I found to be a bit annoying. The family dynamics kept me reading and looks to be a good and entertaining series. I liked the characters, their chemistry, and Mattie is a treasure! I adored Carson’s and Ty’s banter and look forward to his upcoming story. If you like insta-love; billionaire romances I’m sure you’re enjoy this.
