In Charlemont, Kentucky, the Bradford family is the crème de la crème of high society—just like their exclusive brand of bourbon. And their complicated lives and vast estate are run by a discrete staff who inevitably become embroiled in their affairs. This is especially true now, when the apparent suicide of the family patriarch is starting to look more and more like murder…
No one is above suspicion—especially the eldest Bradford son, Edward. The bad blood between him and his father is known far and wide, and he is aware that he could be named a suspect. As the investigation into the death intensifies, he keeps himself busy at the bottom of a bottle—as well as with his former horse trainer’s daughter. Meanwhile, the family’s financial future lies in the perfectly manicured hands of a business rival, a woman who wants Edward all to herself.
Everything has consequences; everybody has secrets. And few can be trusted. Then, at the very brink of the family’s demise, someone thought lost to them forever returns to the fold. Maxwell Bradford has come home. But is he a savior...or the worst of all the sinners?

MY REVIEW:
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Angels' Share by J.R. Ward is a 2016 NAL publication.
Well drawn characters, razor sharp dialog and truly stunning twists and turns kept me turning pages faster than I really wanted to, wishing to savor every nuance of this engrossing novel. The high octane drama had me perched on the edge of my seat, with my jaw hanging open, eyes bulging, reading with bated breath as events spiral in one direction, then another, while the family comes to grips with their new life and the fallout of their father’s death.
I loved every minute of this divine, emotional rollercoaster ride!!
This series has endless possibilities and I will be sitting on pins and needles, waiting impatiently for the next installment. Thanks J.R. Ward for bringing back the family saga and doing with such panache!
Fans of J.R. Ward will be in heaven. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys contemporary fiction and family sagas.
