5 Star Audio Review ~ The Feud: A Blackburn Novel (Bluegrass Empires, Book #1)


New York Times bestselling author, Sawyer Bennett, welcomes you to the Bluegrass Empires, a sweeping series of sexy romance standalones. Set among the rolling hills of Kentucky horse farms and bourbon distilleries, these seductive tales are steeped in bloodline feuds that run deep and without forgiveness.

Synopsis:

As the oldest of his siblings, Ethan Blackburn bears the weight of responsibility for the day-to-day operations of Blackburn Farms, the largest Saddlebred breeding and training facility in Kentucky. Serious, gruff and solely focused on the success of the family business, Ethan isn’t one to mince words or waste time on anything that doesn’t further his interests. But when his meticulous world is upended by a shadowed secret brought into the light, Ethan is sent into a tailspin.

Marcie DeLeon just navigated her way through a bitter divorce, now intent on reimagining her life as a single career woman. She’s not looking to revisit the burden of a relationship anytime soon but when Ethan turns to her for help, she can’t help but lend a sympathetic ear to the handsome and broody man.

Ethan and Marcie are strangers who find a common thread to weave them together, creating a bond neither were seeking but both are loathe to walk away from. When Ethan faces a high-stakes battle against his family’s bitter enemy, he knows without a doubt there is nothing he won’t do to win the fight. Ready to give of himself completely, Ethan prepares to face-off with his foe hoping that no matter what the outcome, Marcie will be by his side in the end.

The Feud: A Blackburn Novel is a friends to lovers novel within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.

Review:

Sawyer Bennett has introduced us to a series that is going to be great! We are introduced to Ethan Blackburn who runs the family business with his siblings.  He is so busy with his job he barely finds time for himself to have a little fun.  Ethan makes a choice that will affect him in ways he could never imagine.

Ethan life changes in many ways being introduced to Marcie and getting to know her more when she has to help him with transitioning Sylvie into the life she would have never been able to live if he mother's family had anything to do with it.  

Marcie has a heart of gold and her job allows her to take care of those who can't take care of themselves.  She thrives on loving them in a way they may not have at home.  When she not only meets Ethan but helps with Sylvie, Ethan sees what he has been missing for many years.  Marcie is strong, reliable and cares beyond words.  Can Ethan pull her from the place she's in and show her how she should always be treated?  Will she change Ethan and Sylvie's lives?

I loved Ethan's story and enjoyed watching Sylvie become the person she was meant to be under the right influence.  This was a fantastic start to a great series!!
