The Bourbon Kings by J.R. Ward5/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Things ended badly because these two crossed class lines, and Lizzy’s been doing the “I shall not think upon him (as long as I never see him)” thing, but he’s back, so things go to shit pretty quickly. Still working at the named estate (“Easterly.” Rich people, man) is Lizzie, the gardner and a former flame of Lane’s. The A plot is about Lane, the prodigal son who left two years ago and is called back due to a medical emergency. Part of being an entitled asshole is never speaking to the help, so there’s a whole Downton Abbey upstairs/downstairs thing going on. They are stupid rich, and in the grand tradition of stupid rich people who have been stupid rich for a long time, they’re a family of entitled assholes. ![]() It’s the story of the Bradford family, the people who run Kentucky’s largest bourbon distillery. This is not a paranormal, and it’s not really a romance it’s a Southern soap opera with a bunch of horrible people making horrible choices. When we were given this ARC at RT, people in the room squealed, and a few (who shall remain nameless) cried a little, and I was like, “…okay, that looks interesting.”Īnd that’s kind of where I am with the whole book. ![]()
