The problems are adding up.
the money missing is huuuuuge.
their father was an A-hole that's for sure.
Lane is the captain on board. their love story with Lizzie is going smoothly.
Edward, after a little moment of confusion realises his mistake but he has his own agenda. therefore his HEA will have to wait
Gin, is growing up. Samuel says it best: " You're better than this. You deserve better than this. Your family glorious past is not worth a man hitting you in the present just because you're affraid you won't be anything without money. You're priceless, Gin, no matter what's in your bank account."

The Bourbon Kings ended with the mystery of the patriarch’s death; consequently laying the foundation for this installment. And since this is JR Ward, I didn’t expect that death to be the only story arch in this book. There was the ongoing saga of Gin’s trainwreck of a life; the lingering pest that was Lane’s ex-wife, and the long-lost brother who decided to show up for the funeral. But where has he been? If you’ve read the first book and are dying to know, you won’t get your answer, unfortunately. Not to be outdone, Edward -scarred and battle-worn as he was, struggle with his feelings for two women: one, a long time family adversary, and another, a young ranch helper left in his care.
So the patriarch is dead. And the suspicion fell heavily on one of the Bradfords. Particularly, the eldest son. The long tumultuous history between Edward and his father went as far back as when he was only a child himself. Cumulating to when Edward was abducted for ransom in South America only to find out that his father orchestrated it all. To say the two had bad blood is putting it mildly.
No one is free of guilt and Tulane can also be a suspect if revenge is the name of the game. After all, their father had an affair with his soon-to-be ex-wife, who, by the way, is carrying his father’s child. So his enemy is a mile-long list. The majority of the book was also about the non-existent family fortune. It turns out that millions of millions of dollars have swindled by their father. Close to being destitute, the burden now rests on Tulane’s shoulders since Edward wants nothing to do with the family and Maxwell is still MIA.

The plot thickens.
JR Ward has kept up the same pace with The Bourbon Kings. Lots of intrigues and mysteries; excess and gossip. Lane and Lizzie are working hard to keep their heads above the water, but it’s been a constant struggle. In this instalment, we also see a change in Gin’s and Samuel’s attitudes toward the other. I’m glad to see it, as they were exhausting in the first book. They finally realize how destructive they’ve been and that perhaps now was not their time. We also see a bit more clarity with the Edward/Shelby, Edward/Sutton quasi-love triangle. I’m glad it didn’t go the way I thought it was going to go. But oh, man. Things are not going to end well for dear Edward but I’m keeping fervent hope that it’ll all workout.
Folks, this is the kind of soap opera I could waste my brain on.
I can’t wait to see Lane bring their family fortune from the brink.
I can’t wait to find out where Maxwell has been all this time.
I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen to Edward.
And lastly, I can’t wait to see Gin and Samuel’s song and dance come to an end.

So incredibly soapy and dramatic. Every character is basically a sociopath, still, a fun, easy read.

Book started out a little slow for me but picked up in the middle and the story got really good. Can't wait to see what happens in the next installment. I highly recommend the audio version as well. The narrator is awesome and brings the story to life!
