REVIEW: Hail to the Queen of Romancelandia, Brenda Jackson! SPILLING THE TEA is the 150th book of her stellar career. Her first book was TONIGHT AND FOREVER that introduced us to the Madaris family. SPILLING THE TEA reunites us with the family and highlights the Grand Matriarch, ninety-something- year-old Mama Felicia Laverne. Believe me, fans, there is plenty of tea to be spilled. The Madaris family member taking center stage is Chancellor “Chance” Madaris, owner of Teakwood Ridge a two-hundred-acre ranch. Chance has had some serious challenges in his life that affected how he lived his life. You will discover those challenges when you read the story. One, in particular, involves a woman by the name of Ravena Boyle. Put a pin right there.
SPILLING THE TEA also follows the unlikely romance between Chance Madaris and Dr. Zoey Pritchard. Zoey is in Houston to learn about her family, a family that she has no memory of. Zoey’s family is the same family who was involved in a bitter feud with the Madaris family in the early 1950’s. You’ll get it when you read this engrossing story that is complicated, jaw-dropping and full of ah-hah moments.
Mama Felicia Laverne’s role in this story is key since she is the oldest living family member who knows the history of the Madaris family. She is also the only one privy to the Madaris-Satterfield feud/scandal that started before she married into the Madaris family. The long-lasting feud caused a great deal of heartache, hatred, and attempted murder. That history will ultimately involve not only Chance’s ex, Ravena, but also his present love interest, Zoey. That’s it! The teapot is empty.
One of the best features of this story is being with the Madaris family and their friends. Jake and his nephews will come to the rescue of their beloved Mama Felicia Laverne, and Alex Maxwell’s investigative skills will place the final pin in the Madaris-Satterfield scandal. The Epilogue houses a wonderful HEA for Chance and Zoey. That’s not all…Mama Felicia Laverne, the forever matchmaker, makes a prediction about Alex and Christy’s daughter and one of the triplet sons of Ashton and Netherland Sinclair. Stay tuned!
I loved this story! It is a real page turner as more and more of the intense feud between the Satterfield family and the Madaris family is revealed. SPILLING THE TEA is a must read!
