New York Times bestselling author, Sawyer Bennett, welcomes you to 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.
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 is a friends to lovers novel within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.

Review:
I think I’m really going to like this series! <3
Ethan and Marcie’s story really hit me in the feels. He started out as a guy who loved his siblings and parents, but one who also felt that he needed to devote everything he had to Blackburn Falls. He wasn’t a “relationship guy” and certainly didn’t plan on ever having a family of his own. Marcie, by contrast, had dreamed of having a family, but that dream blew up in her face when her cheating ex got his mistress pregnant. She’s since devoted herself to her job as an elementary school principal, barely even allowing herself to even think about dating after the first few disasters.
But then a troubled little girl brings them together, and OMG, I can’t even put into words how much I loved watching all three of them–Ethan, Marcie, and Sylvie–first come to trust each other and then come to love each other. As much as I’m looking forward to watching Kat and Gabe fall in love in book 2, I think I might even love seeing this trio be the best family they can be together even more <3
Rating: 4 stars / A-
