How Becker Brothers Began
Kandi Steiner, a USA Today and Amazon bestselling author, launched the Becker Brothers series in 2019 with On the Rocks. A whiskey connoisseur and hopeless romantic, Steiner drew inspiration from her love of Southern settings and complex family dynamics. Growing up in a small town near Tulsa, Oklahoma, she infused Stratford with authentic charm, making the distillery a vibrant backdrop. Her goal? To create a series that paired emotional rollercoaster romances with a gripping mystery, ensuring readers stayed invested in both the heart and the plot.
The Heart of Becker Brothers
The series kicks off with On the Rocks, where Noah Becker, a rugged distillery worker, sparks with Ruby Grace Barnett, the mayor’s daughter, despite her engagement. Their slow-burn romance challenges societal expectations, setting the tone for the series’ blend of angst and heart. Neat follows Logan Becker, whose forbidden love with Mallory Scooter, daughter of the rival distillery family, echoes Romeo and Juliet with a Tennessee twist. Manhattan dives into Michael Becker’s friends-to-lovers tale with Kylie Nelson, while Old Fashioned wraps up with Jordan Becker, a football coach, finding love with single mom Sydney amidst the mystery’s resolution.
Steiner’s themes of family loyalty, forbidden love, and self-discovery shine through each book. The Scooter Whiskey Distillery isn’t just a setting—it’s a character, grounding the series in Tennessee’s rich whiskey culture. The mystery of the Becker patriarch’s death weaves through all four novels, adding intrigue that deepens the emotional stakes. Steiner’s vivid prose and knack for swoony dialogue make every romance feel raw and real, while the small-town gossip and close-knit community add layers of charm.
