Review:
A Reunion of Rivals is the latest installment of The Bourbon Brothers, by Ryan Reese and it is as hot and engaging as that gorgeous cover suggests.
The trope cocktail served up for our pleasure includes second-chance-romance, enemies-to-lovers, office-romance and secret-affair. And I am here for all of it.
The story centers around Quinn Bazemore and Max Abbott, who had an intense summer romance when they were both teenagers. Everything comes to an end when, to Quinn’s confusion, Max ends things without reason and disappears from her life. She carries that heartbreak within but it doesn’t stop her from becoming a successful business woman with an exemplary career.
The meet years later, Quinn and Max find themselves forced to collaborate after a merger between their two family businesses. Of course, feelings come roaring back to life, with Max regretting the way he ended things with Quinn and Quinn understandably hesitant to rekindle things and risk getting hurt again. However, the attraction grows inescapable, leading to a secret affair that threatens to overturn all their best intentions.
I absolutely loved Quinn’s character. She’s confident in her area of expertise and willing to assert herself. She is no wilting flower. Max is used to being in control and truly cares for his family’s company, so sometimes it’s hard or him to back down when he disagrees with Quinn. But Quinn is more than his match and this story sizzles as a result.
I also love the depictions of Max’s family, especially the real strength of the sibling’s bonds. I love seeing characters from previous books come through and add to the texture of a wonderfully rendered world. Bonus points for Quinn’s grandfather, who is absolutely lovely.
This is the second book I’ve ready by Reese Ryan and I look forward to reading more books by her.
