Kentucky Dynasty

by Leave a Comment

This is the last book in the Bourbon Kings trilogy, and the whole series is an over the top soap opera tale of a Kentucky bourbon dynasty.  It’s not a book you can read on its own, so much of the action occurred with the first two books, and this one wraps up the mystery and gives characters their send off into the sunset.  If you were a fan of Dynasty or Dallas back in the day, you’d probably enjoy the insanity of this series!

Patty: There is dream fulfillment fantasy and then there is the Book of Butch. A human ex-cop originally from Southie, Butch has been adopted, for lack of a better word, by the Black Dagger Brotherhood. He is like their little human sidekick, allowed to hang out with them and sit at the cool vamp cafeteria table. Since the dude can actually go out in sunlight, he comes in handy when they need him to like, I don’t know… go to Costco or run DMV errands. […]

Today’s review is brought to you by the unnecessary letter Z… Patty: OMG that that title is just the right amount of wrong. But seriously, how are we going to banter about this one? There is nothing funny or lighthearted about it. Katie: Phatty brings up a good point. Lover Awakened, the third installment in J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, is no laughing matter. Maybe we need to switch gears and do a serious review this time. First though, I need Bella, the female […]

Gentle reader, We’re baaaack… At the request of reader/commentator Alexis, we’re going to talk about Lover Eternal, the second book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward. Note: For some reason my gifs are not working. ARGH. For maximum viewing pleasure, click on them and they should open in a new tab. Some ARE just memes, though. Patty: Rhage (get it? Rage but with an “H”, so like, RHAGE. It’s Vampire for rage. SO MANY LEVELS), or Hollywood – a nickname his vampire buddies […]

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb6xxeE_2ik&w=560&h=315]   Gentle reader, have you seen the pigs flying? That’s right, The End is upon us. To celebrate that dogs and cats are living together in mass hysteria, Patty (a.k.a. *Name Redacted*) and I have decided to review a book together. We’ve chosen J.R. Ward’s Dark Lover since it’s a guilty pleasure we both adore.   Patty: And it’s totally not because we’re codependent or have some kind of blood bond or anything like that. Swear.   Katie: First off, let me just […]
