Review by Booklist Review
When Paris gets caught trying to steal a million-dollar bottle of bourbon from Duncan McQueen, the richest man in Kentucky, the only way she'll be able to walk out with it is by convincing McQueen that it is rightfully hers. This kicks off the dramatic, often sordid tale of Red Thread Bourbon, from its shady beginnings during the last days of the Civil War to the conflagration that put the Maddox family's distillery out of business. Through Paris, erotica and romance author Reisz recounts all the evils perpetrated by the bourbon clan, exposing the truth about the men and women who built their empire and made their fortune on slavery, lies, rape, incest, and murder. Paris' story is certainly compelling, but is it convincing enough for McQueen to allow her to walk free, along with a priceless bottle of bourbon? Reisz fills the narrative with rich historic details; memorable, if vile, characters; and enough surprises to keep the plot moving and readers hooked until the final drop of bourbon is spilled.--Kubisz, Carolyn Copyright 2016 Booklist
