Book review: THE TRYST, by Sawyer Bennett

Bluegrass Empires #3

Trey & Holland

I have been loving this series a lot! Family feud in a small town that has lasted several generations. Ethan Blackburn had a child with Alina Mardraggon and there was a custody battle, then it turned out Gabe Mardraggon and Kat Blackburn were college sweethearts turned enemies. They had a second chance, so a bridge has been cast between the two feuding families.  

Now enter Holland Rhodes, whose father owns the town printshop. She was a honorary sibling to the Blackburn kids, she spent as much time as she could in their house because her home life was crappy.  Her father was alcoholic, her mother apathetic and didn’t defend her. Eventually, Trey and Holland fall in love and were making plans for the future when Wade confessed to Trey his feelings towards Holland.  Immediately, Trey stepped aside and let the field clear for his brother and what happened is that Holland left town for college and never came back until eleven years later when her father died.

I love second chance, small town romances and this one delivered perfectly.  I loved all the groveling Trey had to do. I loved all the family times with the Blackburn crew, now including Gabe Mardraggon. At the same time we’re getting Trey’s and Holland’s second chance love story, we also get updates of life on the ranch, riding lessons, Trey’s issues with Gabe, Wade and his playing ways, Holland’s issues with her mom.  This author always writes a very well rounded up story that is not just about love and sex but life around the family.  Her stories are so entertaining, I just love to sit and enjoy and forget about my own issues.

Book review: THE FEUD, by Sawyer Bennett

Bluegrass Empires #1: A Blackburn Novel

Ethan & Marcie

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fascinating! I am loving this new series, far apart from hockey, and now into the horse world in Kentucky.  And we get two warring families, the Blackburns and the Mardraggons, an enmity that has lasted for two hundred years, amazing!

The Blackburns have a saddlebred horse breeding farm, the Mardraggons have a bourbon empire.  Through the years, they have been trying to destroy the other’s empire, but with modern police thwarting their efforts, they have resorted to just hating and insulting.

Imagine the surprise for Ethan Blackburn, oldest son, CEO of the empire, the responsible one for carrying on this huge empire, when he’s told he had a nine-year-old daughter.  And a product of a one night drunken encounter with Alaine Mardraggon, no less. Still, he’s a responsible person, so he goes to court, planning to demand a paternity test, when the little girl arrives, his mini-me in girl form.  No more doubts! Now to fight for custody!

This book was so entertaining!  I devoured the pages, in love with this family and little Sylvie.  Ethan has been a confirmed bachelor for many years, but that lasts until he meets the principal of Sylvie’s new school.  The guy fell like a ton of bricks, and Marcie has already been looking at him, from afar, for quite some time. 

Lots of great plot lines, all perfectly executed, Ethan’s growing feelings for Marcie, the love and protection that surged upon meeting his little girl, the enmity with Sylvie’s grandparents, fighting for money, it’s all there and all thrilling. And of course, sexy times!

I loved, loved this story and can’t wait for Gabe and Kat!
