Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood)

by J R Ward

Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The ruthless and brilliant brother Vishous possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time-until a destiny he didn't choose takes him into a future that does not include her...

Review:

"The newest in Ward's ferociously popular Black Dagger Brotherhood series bears all the marks of a polished storyteller completely at home in her world. Vishous, son of the Bloodletter, is a cunning, stone-hearted vampire warrior devoted to killing the wicked, undead vampire slayers known as the Lessers; after an ill-fated visit to a hospital, Vishous falls instantly and unexpectedly in love with a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb. Soon, Vishous has brought the unwitting human back to the Brotherhood lair, where she returns his feelings, opening up a potentially cataclysmic conflict — Vishous is, against his will, destined to become the Primale, a warrior with multiple vampire wives who's meant to ensure the survival of the species. Ward has by now become an expert at fleshing out the stories of her supporting characters — each with his or her own novel — without overpowering the central story, and while the romance between Vishous and Whitcomb is genre-typical, Ward isn't afraid to break with convention in challenging, gratifying ways. Though not recommended for newcomers to Ward's universe or romance traditionalists, this fix will give Brotherhood addicts a powerful rush." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

In the fifth novel in Wards "New York Times" bestselling series, the ruthless brother Vishous has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of Dr. Jane Whitcomb, she compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time. Original.

Good read. If you're reading the serious, this may be a bit of a let down. But don't give up, keep going and the ending is an interesting one.

i didn't think this book was quite as strong as the other books in the series, and without giving away the ending, i thought it was a bit of a cop-out. however, it was an engaging and enjoyable read that i think builds on the other stories very well, and it left me excited to read the next one, as all of the black dagger brotherhood books have.

A fantastic addition to Ward's incredible world where vampires protect humans from the evil Others. Wonderfully written and edgy, the characters remain with you long after you've closed the book.
