Can you say DRAMA! This was like a southern soap opera! I really liked this story. I live in Ga and this is kind of what i expected when i moved down south: the rich, fancy, julep sipping, horse racing, drama having, father hating, huge house, staff owning sort of lifestyle described in this book. The descriptions are rich and thorough and the characters are most certainly flawed. The place of deeply bred good manners and lofty expectations is not portrayed in wholly good light but in the tainted light of corruption. A place where money does all the talking, its hard to find honest people and you can’t really know what’s true and what isnt. The author did a splendid job of weaving all these characters, their issues and drama, and their stories together. While the amount of characters may seem daunting for some, they are recurring and easy to follow along with. There is no messy who is that again questions in this series; everyone is family in some way. The best part, for me, was the little tidbits i learned about bourbon making. The little side conversations/thoughts about the process and the pride that goes into bourbon making made this Kentucky based story feel a little more real to me. For all i know, none of the information is correct BUT it certainly kept me interested in the foundation/career of the Bradford family. This was an easy going read with some mystery, some suspense, a lot of love and romance with a light sprinkle of evil thrown into the mix. This is NOTHING like the Black Dagger brotherhood and if you chose to bypass this series because of that series i highly encourage you to rethink your stance and The Bourbon Kings. It’s not as smutty but the story itself is amazing.
