Blame it on Grandpa.
Savannah’s Secrets
By: Reese Ryan
Harlequin Desire March 2018
Blame it on Grandpa.
Savannah Carlisle arrives at King’s Finest Distillery qualified for their new position of event manager. She’s eager and full of ideas which gain positive press. It’s a private agenda she holds close, aware even her own family disapproves.
Interviewing new employees usually didn’t fall to Blake Abbott. But with key family members out of town at the moment, he accepts the responsibility. She’s intriguing. Sharp. And off-limits as an employee.
Will they both get in too deep when the only road to her apartment is closed in a flood?
Ms. Ryan takes a boss-employee romance and gives it a new twist. I look forward to the stories of others in the Abbott clan as they take the family business forward.

How far would you go to get justice for the person who has sacrificed and given you everything they possibly could? Savannah Carlisle is willing to walk into the lion’s den and risk arrest to prove that Joseph Abbott, founder of King’s Finest Distillery, stole her grandfather's Bourbon recipe and cheated him out of millions.
Savannah grew up listening to her grandfather Martin tell stories of his days of being a moonshiner and how he was cheated out of what was rightfully his and his family's legacy. She has bided her time and honed her skills to position herself to infiltrate King's Finest and expose Joseph and his family for the thieves they are. The vacant Event Manager position is just the opportunity she needs.
As VP of Operations, Blake Abbott would rather be walking the floor of King’s Finest instead of preparing to interview someone for the Event Manager position. After all, that should be something the VP of Marketing, his brother Max, should be doing. Blake finds himself lusting at first sight the moment he lays eyes on Savannah. She's beautiful, confident, and seems to know the company's history. He hires her knowing he should keep his distance but is unable to do so.
Savannah has very impressive ideas and plans to help the company grow. She shows dedication by working late hours without being asked. However, it doesn't go unnoticed that she seems to have a fascination with Joseph, the recipes used, and the early days of the company. It also doesn't go unnoticed that while she is polite to everyone at the company, she chooses to not socialize and keeps everyone at a distance.
When a rainstorm hits Magnolia Lake, bringing with it a flash flood and blocking the entrance to town, Savannah is forced to spend the weekend with Blake at his house. This weekend marks a turning point in their relationship and the start of a secret fling. As unwanted feelings start to grow between the two, Savannah's time in Magnolia Lake is running out. Pushing the envelope means risk and Savannah and Blake's lives will be changed forever.
Reese Ryan has this really good ability to take a character who shows traits that should make them unlikable likable. I'm not a fan of liars and deceitful people. Yet, I found myself split on my feelings towards Savannah. I understand why she felt the need to go to Magnolia Lake and do what she did. A part of me admires her for it. But it doesn't make it right. Reese has written a really good story about family. It amazes me how the main and secondary characters are so entrenched in family. I have to admit that I was very surprised by the understanding and humbleness of Martin and the Abbott family. Reese has set up the Bourbon Brothers series nicely, with likeable characters that you want to know more about. She's even giving readers a little peek at the future heroes and heroines. I can't wait to lose myself in the next book.

I received an ARC of this story from the author for an honest opinion. I must say Ms. Ryan came out to bat swinging with this one! This story was definitely a home run! She has set the bar for the rest of this series. I can’t wait to see what happens next with the Abbotts!

Red hot revenge or a happily ever after? With the first book in her Bourbon Brothers series, Reese Ryan thrills us with her Harlequin Desire debut! Her characters are attention grabbing from the start, the flirty connection between them is not only steamy but also draws the occasional chuckle as they banter back and forth. I loved them both, in addition to the rest of the family, so I look forward to more of the series!
Savannah Carlisle has the ultimate plan of revenge scoped out against the Abbott family! She plans to get hired as their latest and greatest events manager for their Tennessee bourbon empire and then once she's worked her way into the fold, she's going to find the proof that she needs to support her grandfather's claim that they stole his bourbon recipe to make their fortune! All these years he's been struggling while they live a life of luxury, so it's time for a little evening of the score!
Blake Abbott can't believe their luck in hiring such an ambitious and hard working events manager. This anniversary celebration is going to be something else! He has to admit though, that being around the gorgeous and luscious Savannah is driving him insane! As luck would have it, being stranded together one stormy weekend is just the permission they needed to embark on a steamy love affair. The event planning is going great, Blake is so enchanted with Savannah that he's ready to admit to their relationship to his family so they can go public ... but then the house of cards comes crumbling down around them!

Savannah's Secret by Reese Ryan was a very engaging read. Savannah Carlisle planned to get into the company built off what was stole from her grandfather. Blake Abbott is a member of the family own company and a gentleman. During a storm he checks on the company's property and Savannah and she ends up spending the weekend with him. Their attractions bloom and she ends up caring his child.
Reese Ryan penned a captivating tale that keeps us wondering "what's next" and sometimes on a emotional rollercoaster. Read the journey Savannah and Blake, you won't be disappointed and we learn that Savannah wasn't the only one with secrets. Great job Ms. Ryan, looking forward to the next one!!
