I can almost hear dramatic music playing in the background. I’ve seen The Bourbon Kings often compared to a soap opera, think 80s-90s soaps with constant plot twists, cliffhangers, outrageous turns, excessive opulence, so on and so forth. This series starter caught me off guard in multiple ways.įirst, I’m mainly familiar with Ward via her paranormal romance series Black Dagger Brotherhood (which, note to self, should re-read or just continue the next book) The Bourbon Kings is about as far a cry as one can get from paranormal.
The Bourbon Kings is the first book in a three-part series by J.R. 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.Īs 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. Now, after two years of staying away, Tulane is finally coming home again, and he is bringing the past with him. 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. And never the twain shall meet.įor Lizzie King, Easterly’s head gardener, crossing that divide nearly ruined her life. Downstairs, the staff who work tirelessly to maintain the impeccable Bradford facade. Upstairs, a dynasty that by all appearances plays by the rules of good fortune and good taste. Their sustained wealth has afforded them prestige and privilege-as well as a hard-won division of class on their sprawling estate, Easterly. For generations, the Bradford family has worn the mantle of kings of the bourbon capital of the world.
