Book Review of The Bourbon Kings (Bourbon Kings, Bk 1)

The Bourbon Kings (Bourbon Kings, Bk 1)


As the first book in the series, I expected there to be a slow build, and I certainly got that. But once the stories started moving, they really got going.

This family reminds me of Dynasty or Dallas, the old nighttime soaps of the 80's. It's awesome. Dysfunctional family, crazy people, drama, and money. It's seriously like reading a modern day Dynasty.

This first book focuses on the relationship between Lane and Lizzie, but their 'love story' isn't the entire focus of the book. You get introduced to nearly all the non-adult kids of the dynasty, their parents and mock parents, and the 'help' around the big compound. Complicated relationships abound, stemmed from an abusive father and a mother with dependency issues.
