The Bourbon Kings by J.R. Ward
4.0
Full review is now up at Bookspan.
The Bourbon Kings offers some of the strongest prose I've read from JR Ward. It has a big dose of southern charm, excellent character development and basically comes off as a bawdier, American Downton.
The only hitch is it doesn't quite feel like a romance. Yes, that's the thread that pulled me through the novel, but much like Ward's latter Black Dagger Brotherhood series, this is more a family saga novel than a romance. That said, when the couples (both main and secondary) interact the chemistry is rapturous.
