Audiobook Review: The Brothers Hawthorne by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

The Brothers Hawthorne

Author:
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Narrator: Jay Ben Markson
Series: The Inheritance Games (Book 4)
Publication: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (August 29, 2023)
Length: 13 hours and 41 minutes

Description: Four brothers. Two missions. One explosive read. Jennifer Lynn Barnes returns to the world of her #1 bestselling, TikTok sensation Inheritance Games trilogy, and the stakes have never been higher.

Grayson Hawthorne
was raised as the heir apparent to his billionaire grandfather, taught from the cradle to put family first. Now the great Tobias Hawthorne is dead and his family disinherited, but some lessons linger. When Grayson’s half-sisters find themselves in trouble, he swoops in to do what he does best: take care of the problem—efficiently, effectively, mercilessly. And without getting bogged down in emotional entanglements.

Jameson Hawthorne is a risk-taker, a sensation-seeker, a player of games. When his mysterious father appears and asks for a favor, Jameson can’t resist the challenge. Now he must infiltrate London’s most exclusive underground gambling club, which caters to the rich, the powerful, and the aristocratic, and win an impossible game of greatest stakes. Luckily, Jameson Hawthorne lives for impossible.

Drawn into twisted games on opposite sides of the globe, Grayson and Jameson—with the help of their brothers and the girl who inherited their grandfather’s fortune—must dig deep to decide who they want to be and what each of them will sacrifice to win.

My Thoughts: This book entwines two separate stories and had flashbacks to the time when both Grayson and Jameson were learning from their grandfather about what their futures would be like. 

Greyson Hawthorne meets his half-sisters when they are having trouble but needs to keep the fate of their father from them while still solving their problems. Greyson finds himself feeling a lot of guilt as he gets to know his sisters.

Jameson Hawthorne is also dealing with a father problem. His has asked him to infiltrate an exclusive club and win back the estate he lost at cards. He and Avery do manage to infiltrate the club and are chosen to take part in an annual game that can bring great riches or expose great secrets. 

Both stories are engaging and filled with puzzles. Each of the young men have learning experiences that give them a different look at their lives and their futures.
