Publisher's summary

Four brothers. Two missions. One explosive story. 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.

While you wait for The Brothers Hawthorne to come out, try Jennifer Lynn Barnes’s thrilling mystery series, The Naturals.

The intrigue!

I thought for sure there wasn’t a way for this book to be as intriguing as the others but I was wrong! Can’t wait see what happens next!

Was surprised how much I enjoyed!

When I first started listening to it I had a hard time because of the narrator. The voice used for Avery is horrible! But I started to get used to it as the book went on you kind of have to after listening to 12 hours of it.

Overall, I really enjoyed the storyline of this book. I feel like the clues were very well thought out, and there were twists and turns along the way. I do have to be a little bit. Disappointing there wasn’t as much drama as the previous books. I do think it is a must read if you want to get into more of the information about Jamison and Grayson‘s fathers plus their additional family. In addition, I would just like to say that this book was obviously made because the three previous books were very popular, but this one did not disappoint. Though I don’t think it is necessary to read this book if you enjoyed the ending to the last one.

Love all these books!

I hope there are more because they’re just amazing! I wasn’t as big of a fan of this narrator as opposed to the other from the other 3 books but it didn’t ruin the story for me.

The Games Are Always Fun!

Hooked!! I love these books! Once again, Jennifer Lynn Barnes does not disappoint! I should have reread The Final Gambit before reading because I have a few lingering questions, but I'll do it now!! I love the open ending because I hope that means that another game is coming! 🤞

Keep listening!

The third book ended so well I didn’t know if I wanted to keep listening, but this one was very well done. I loved the games and challenges presented to the brothers, loved the story. I can’t wait for the next one to come out!

Great follow up to the Trillogy-Narrator is awful!

If you can get over the terrible narration, this is a great book. I loved the puzzles and the perspectives of Grayson and Jameson.

However!!! This narrator drives me bonkers in every book he does, and unfortunately I’ve listened to too many that he’s narrated! Also, these boys are from Texas, do your research and at least attempt some kind of Texan accent.

Best of the series

Great way to close the series. Narration is captivating. The author introduces new characters that are some of the most likable in the whole series.
