With blood the color of red, white and blue running through his veins, Adrian Reilly has dedicated his life to the Army and the brotherhood forged in the heat of Special Forces. But when his third Black Ops mission goes wrong, no one believes his accusation that he and his team were set up by none other than the man running counterintelligence operations at CIA, Charlie O’Donnell. Wrongfully discharged for his failure to lead, Reilly is secretly recalled after his Army brother is murdered and tasked with outing the puppet master and his minions. To clear his name and avenge the deaths of operations officers and soldiers alike, Reilly must bring hard evidence that will put O’Donnell away for life. But O’Donnell’s hand is far reaching and four years pass with Reilly no closer to the truth until a rogue sniper in O’Donnell’s nest of vipers, Trent Mariner, upends the game board and Reilly finds himself blindsided not only by the assassin's plans but by O’Donnell’s assistant, Daniella St. Sauveur, who is more than she appears to be. The discovery of O’Donnell’s ultimate plot comes at the greatest of prices and Reilly is left with the hardest choice of his life: stay with the woman he loves and be haunted by the guilt of forsaking his brothers, or leave her behind to finish his mission and stop Mariner before the world is thrown into political and religious chaos.

Review
Reviewed by Trudi LoPreto for Readers' Favorite
Adrian Reilly is a loyal American who has dedicated his life to serving his country and the Army he was proud to represent. This loyalty is soon put to the test when he is discharged because of a mission that went very wrong and the accusations he made as to why it failed. Reilly is called back when the truth comes out and he is asked to prove that CIA agent Charlie O'Donnell is running a ring that was responsible for the death of his team members. Adrian has a tight group of people who believe in him and together they set out to right the wrongs. Along the way he meets and falls in love with Daniela, the daughter of a man who served with him. Mariner is an evil man who will stop at nothing to win. Adrian and Dani face life threatening situations before they are both nearly killed by Mariner. Contingencies by Nadine Dandorf takes suspense to a brand new level. I was on the edge of my seat, unable to put the book down until I got to the very last page. The suspense, adventure and intrigue of Contingencies easily make this a must-read book. Nadine Dandorf is an excellent writer who knows how to create characters that seem real and a plot that is terrific. I truly believe that Contingencies would make an award winning movie and I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed reading this book. I urge you to read it at your earliest convenience.
