Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:#1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward delivers the second novel in her Bourbon Kings seriesâ??a sweeping saga of a Southern dynasty struggling to maintain a façade of privilege and prosperity, while secrets and indiscretions threaten its very foundationâ?¦
 
In Charlemont, Kentucky, the Bradford family is the crème de la crème of high societyâ??just like their exclusive brand of bourbon. And their complicated lives and vast estate are run by a discrete staff who inevitably become embroiled in their affairs. This is especially true now, when the apparent suicide of the family patriarch is starting to look more and more like murderâ?¦
 
No one is above suspicionâ??especially the eldest Bradford son, Edward. The bad blood between him and his father is known far and wide, and he is aware that he could be named a suspect. As the investigation into the death intensifies, he keeps himself busy at the bottom of a bottleâ??as well as with his former horse trainerâ??s daughter. Meanwhile, the familyâ??s financial future lies in the perfectly manicured hands of a business rival, a woman who wants Edward all to herself.
 
Everything has consequences; everybody has secrets. And few can be trusted. Then, at the very brink of the familyâ??s demise, someone thought lost to them forever returns to the fold. Maxwell Bradford has come home. But is he a savior..

I love it and I hate it.
I have decided this series is just not for me.
There is a lot of good, but.....
Just to 'Soap Opera', repetitive and long winded for me.

I will not be following this series any longer.

Sad to say I couldn't persist with this as I didn't take to the lazy southern drawl of the narrator. His voice did get better and I'm sure I would have come to enjoy it, but I didn't get there. ( )

Wie sich schon im Vorgängerband „Bourbon Kings“ abzeichnete, kommen nach dem Tod des Vaters eine Menge Probleme auf Lane zu. Sein Bruder Edward gerät unter Verdacht, den Vater ermordet zu haben. Das Unternehmen ist hoch verschuldet und steht kurz vor dem Ruin. Nur noch die größte Konkurrentin Sutton Smythe, die zudem Edwards große Liebe ist, könnte helfen.
Auch bei diesem Band ist der Schreibstil wieder sehr angenehm flüssig zu lesen.
Edward als ältester Sohn sollte eigentlich das Unternehmen in dieser schwierigen Phase leiten, aber seit seiner Entführung ist er dazu nicht mehr in der Lage. Zudem steht er unter Mordverdacht. Aber einer muss sich kümmern und diese Aufgabe übernimmt Lane. Es ist schön zu beobachten, wie er sich vom leichtlebigen Unternehmersohn zum einem verantwortungsvollen und geschickten Unternehmer entwickelt. Neben den bekannten Personen gibt es einige neue, die Schwung in die Handlung bringen. So taucht Amelia, Gins Tochter, auf. Gin war einen Deal eingegangen und sie steht zu ihrem Wort. Ich bin gespannt, ob sie am Ende doch mit ihrer großen Liebe zusammenkommt. Die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Lane und Lizzie tritt in den Hintergrund. In dieser Familie passiert so viel, dass es nicht langweilig wird. Auch über Edward und Sutton erfährt man in diesem Band einiges mehr.
Ich bin gespannt, was hinter den Schwierigkeiten des Unternehmen steckt und wer das Familienoberhaupt William Baldwine getötet hat, denn das wird immer noch nicht aufgeklärt. So ist die Neugier auf den Folgeband „Bourbon Lies“ geweckt.
Wieder gibt es Intrigen und Skandale und die Familie Bradford ist immer für Überraschungen gut.
Ein spannende Familiengeschichte mit interessanten Charakteren, die sehr gut unterhält. ( )

This JR Ward series does not disappoint. I usually learn a bit about bourbon making while getting involved in the family's drama. I'm not sure how I would react in these situations as someone who didn't grow up with money or that kind of family history in one house. ( )

Continuing the not so pretty story of the Bradford family saga. It's a messed up family, that I dound very little to like for the most of the story. It's the secondary characters that are likeable and seem to be the families only saving grace. There's embezzlement, murder, abuse just to name a few and the ending leaves more open endings and very little closer.
