Summary

 Ace Foxx never planned to marry, until he has no choice but to strike a deal with Hadley Finch, the woman he swore to stay away from. Now he’ll have to break his own rules – in the final book in a bourbon-infused romantic suspense trilogy featuring mystery, murder, and lots of spice.

FEATURING DUET NARRATION

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead – or so the rumour goes.

It isn’t just small-town lore or neighbourhood gossip – I’ve witnessed what happens when the men in my family get too comfortable. And with the responsibility of leading Foxx Bourbon on my shoulders, I’ll go to any lengths to ensure the safety of my business and family.

There’s only one problem: Hadley Finch. An honorary member of my family and the daughter of a deplorable businessman. She’s the woman I swore to stay away from in a bargain I never wanted to make, and now … she’s my wife.

Hadley’s always been the only person who pushes every last shred of my resolve. Before she was mine, I was fine protecting her from afar. It was never about being her hero or happy ending, but now, I crave both. Call it the Foxx curse or penance for my sins, but when all of it explodes and the lives of those I love are threatened, there are only two things I have left to bargain with: bourbon and proof.

Narrators were perfect for the characters.

No but seriously....how do they keep getting better EVERY. TIME!

Hands down my go to country romance series without a doubt, the men in these books are perfection and the women are DIVINE.

Once again Sean Masters absolutely delivered on another favourite MMC of mine through audio 👏 and Victoria was the perfect match 💗

This gives small town, slow burn, found family, dash of murder, smart mouths and a LOT of bourbon involved where you wouldn't think it would end up 😏 the whiskey bottle appearance at the end though 👄 iykyk 😫

The spice was on point, the characters were great as always and the series ended perfectly 👌

Victoria Wilder done it again 🤍

I did not want this to end. Sean Masters WAS daddy Ace. So good. I think this is my favourite of the 3 books, in both audio and written versions.

Loved every glorious minute

Wow what an ending to the Bourbon brothers series.
Ace has many secrets and most involve protecting Hadley Finch from her terrible father.
We meet the jeweller and the architect after Ace takes care of someone who threatens Hadley. He then foolishly makes a deal with her father.
Years later Ace finds himself still fantasising about Hadley with her sassy mouth and biting comebacks and when his grandfather makes his wishes known to retire with stipulations Ace finds himself being proposed to by Hadley. At first he declines because of the deal he made with her father. But after he visits her now arrested father, he propose marriage as a business deal, but to him it’s real.
Both partners have secrets that will come back to haunt the couple. But as they deal with these their marriage becomes real. They both plot to take down her father but he is a Wiley character with many connections and as a huge sum of money is involved there is a lot of clearing up to do.
When Ace’s life is in danger Hadley rides her beautiful white horse to rescue but things don’t go entirely to plan but with the help of an old friend things are resolved. Unfortunately Griz is shot but not killed.
A love from the past joins the family in the hospital and Griz is reunited with his true love.
The way the three books are interconnected is great and the suspense delivers linked together beautifully. I really enjoyed this series, a must read.

I needed a light-hearted audio for a long car journey so thought I'd re-visit the Bourbon Boys of Fiasco having enjoyed the first 2 (audio) books a few months ago..
This is, sadly, the weakest of the three, but the duet narration and great narrators lifted this an extra star. No one picks up these books for a compelling plot but this one is wafer thin and, for me, the pace really dragged at times.
That said, Wilder does write great dialogue, conversations flow easily and the descriptions of life in small town America feel tangibly real.
Of the three couples in the series these are the hardest to care about - Ace is certainly the most unlikeable. He is emotionally shallow, arrogant and lacking empathy and the FMC, Hadley, vascilates between sassy self-assuredness and helpless damsel. There is a satisfying round up of the series in the final chapters that is worth pushing through for.

Note: There are clear warnings indicating the use of the pet name 'daddy', so the reader is fair warned. At the start I assumed this was a cringy play on 'sugar-daddy' (despite the age gap only being 7-8 years). As the book progressed, however, I became increasingly uncomfortable as the name is used endlessly in semi-submissive spice scenes despite the key story line being the FMC's actual Father's abusive and controlling behaviour.

Fun read if slow paced
