The Bourbon Kings by J.R. Ward

4.0

DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!

I feel exactly like Frodo at the end of the journey to destroy the One Ring:


What a freaking ride! Here I was thinking J.R.Ward couldn't possibly come up with a series that could rival with the Black Dagger Brotherhood in terms of sweat, tears, blood, sex and the entire dramatic she-bang, but I was wrong.

I still can't wrap my mind around most of the things that happened and I have tons of information in my mind that will surely keep me busy in the year I have to wait for [b:The Angel's Share|26024583|The Angel's Share (The Bourbon Kings, #2)|J.R. Ward|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|45948189]:

- the workings of the Bourbon industry;
- the dynamics between the Bourbon dynasties and other powerful people;
- the 4 damaged Bradford siblings, Tulane, Edward, Maxwell and Gin, each ruined in their own way;
- William Bradford aka THE Devil, whose fate is too good to be true;
- Tulane, Lizzie and the entire drama with the Chantal bitch;
- Gin and Samuel T.'s obviously destructive relationship. (How can you love someone that much and still break that person in ways that'll make it impossible for her to go back to what she was?)
- Gin's big secret (Holy shit! How can Samuel not know?)
- Gin's apparently stupid, selfish decision (Just awful!)
- Maxwell's whereabouts;
- Edward's tragedy and his involvement with Sutton. (What about Shelby?)
- Deputy Sheriff Mitch's mysterious background;
- Jeff and Mack possibly getting their own stories (?)

Ah, hell! Congrats J.R.Ward for getting on my nerves, taking me to the heights of anguish and ecstasy, making me passionately love and hate and opening my mind to endless possibilities and theories. Again.

If you haven't read The Bourbon Kings yet, you need to do it ASAP, especially if you're a fan of the author, since it is the perfect option for those who are seeking an emotional roller coaster of a ride, sure to have you on the edge of your seat until the end.
