Publisher Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood delivers the first novel in an enthralling new series set amid the shifting dynamics of a Southern family defined by wealth and privilege—and compromised by secrets, deceit, and scandal....

For generations, the Bradford family has worn the mantle of kings of the bourbon capital of the world. Their sustained wealth has afforded them prestige and privilege—as well as a hard-won division of class on their sprawling estate, Easterly. Upstairs, a dynasty that by all appearances plays by the rules of good fortune and good taste. Downstairs, the staff who work tirelessly to maintain the impeccable Bradford facade. And never the twain shall meet.

For Lizzie King, Easterly’s head gardener, crossing that divide nearly ruined her life. Falling in love with Tulane, the prodigal son of the bourbon dynasty, was nothing that she intended or wanted—and their bitter breakup only served to prove her instincts were right. Now, after two years of staying away, Tulane is finally coming home again, and he is bringing the past with him. No one will be left unmarked: not Tulane’s beautiful and ruthless wife; not his older brother, whose bitterness and bad blood know no bounds; and especially not the ironfisted Bradford patriarch, a man with few morals, fewer scruples, and many, many terrible secrets.

As family tensions—professional and intimately private—ignite, Easterly and all its inhabitants are thrown into the grips of an irrevocable transformation, and only the cunning will survive.

Bradford group is worth the read

I always like this author. She didn’t disappoint with The Bourbon Kings. I already read the second in the series and am starting the third

Dissapointed

I only finished this book because it was JR Ward, A lot of 1 - 2 star reviews I read compared it to BDB books - and that is NOT the reason I gave it what I gave it. I pre-ordered this the minute it was advertised. Anxiously waited, because I thoroughly have enjoyed every other JR Ward book.

This book gave you a just enough on 25 (yes, twenty five) different characters, but never told the entire story on any of them. It had no conclusion, just enough to give you that each of those 25 got something going on. I was about 3/4 of the way done, and honestly had no clue who was the main protagonist in this book. By the time I finished it, yes, ok, it was about Lane & Lizzie, but I felt though that there wasn't enough given on any of the 25 characters that made me want to know more about how they end up (in future books). I wouldn't even say there was a cliffhanger - because you need more story to leave it as a cliff hanger. I felt this book (at over 400 pages) was a huge epilog to another series.

It was a cross of Gone with the Wind meets Dynasty. And being of age to remember (and was a huge fan) of Dynasty, I swear, some of the story line in the book resonated with Dynasty

I was also very surprised at the grammatical errors. There were a few, but more than expected for a $14 book that was not self published. Yes, this is extremely picky, but just my opinion.
