Book Blurb : Taken From Goodreads

Payne, twin sister of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, warrior cloth as her brother: A fighter by nature, and a maverick when it comes to the traditional role of Chosen females, there is no place for her on the Far Side… and no role for her on the front lines of the war, either.


When she suffers a paralyzing injury, human surgeon Dr. Manuel Manello is called in to treat her as only he can- and he soon gets sucked into her dangerous, secret world. Although he never before believed in things that go bump in the night- like vampires- he finds himself more than willing to be seduced by the powerful female who marks both his body and his soul.



As the two find so much more than an erotic connection, the human and vampire worlds collide … just as a centuries old score catches up with Payne and puts both her love and her life in deadly jeopardy.
 
 
BOOK REVIEW:

J.R . Ward, aka The Warden , does it again. She hits every one of my smexi nerves, she takes the reader where not a lot of authors can go successfully time and time again. Book after book 10/10, J. R. I bow to your gift.



I’m so glad J.R. wasn’t done with Vishous’s story. He still has so many layers to peel back and did she peel each layer painstakingly back. ‘Ouch’!!


I always felt there was something spesh about Manuel Manello. Built like John Cena . I was just waiting to be told. Oh dear Lord, did J.R. deliver with Manny and Payne. * fans oneself repeatedly*


Quinn...dear Quinn..... come on J.R. give the poor guy a break. He needs his story with .....


Butch... what a manly, strong, understanding, step up to the plate bat in hand ready to do what needs to be done, guy. Oh ! Be still my heart, his relationship with Vishous. Grab the Kleenex, let’s all sit in our pj’s and have a cry.


I did admittedly miss the other brothers and their smaller roles in the books.


I loved Manny , Vishous and Butch’s dialogue, straight up, in your face, take no crap that earns you respect.


Goodness me.... Xcor and Throe. J.R. knows how to step up the smexi, my eyes personally boggled...lol!!! The story line was sizzling like a piece of bacon.


The way J.R. is writing , I think book # 10 is going to bring a heat wave.


Hot Tamale alert!!!! Keep these books away from the younger chickens, only for the adults.


If you haven’t yet picked up a BDB book ( Black Dagger Brotherhood) then you are sorely missing out, seriously....just open up book # 1 ‘Dark Lover’ , and let the story course through your veins .....

Book Blurb : Taken From Goodreads

In this "frighteningly addictive" paranormal romance sage there's a war raging between vampires and their slayers. Here are the stories of a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. And now a dutiful twin must choose between two lives...


Fiercely loyal to the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Phury has sacrificed himself for the good of the race, becoming the male responsible for keeping the Brotherhood's bloodlines alive. As Primale of the Chosen, he is obligated to father the sons and daughters who will ensure that the traditions of the race survive, and that there are warriors to fight those who want all vampires extinguished.


As his first mater, the Chosen Cormia wants to win not only his body, but his heart for herself. She is drawn to the noble responsibility behind the emotionally scarred male. But Phury has never allowed himself to know pleasure or joy. As the war with the Lessening Society grows grim, tragedy looms over the Brotherhood's mansion, and Phury must decide between duty and love....
 
BOOK REVIEW:
 
This is Phury's story. Now I have heard /read that it isn't the most favoured book out of the series, but!!!  I really enjoyed it.
 
Lots to be learnt and Phury , being so selfless/ celibate isn't to be mistaken with being boring. I have a lot of respect for Phury.
 
Phury and Cormia end up with a bit of a forwards 1 step , backwards 2 steps until they find their mojo.
 
Phury and his "Wizard" ( mental drug demon that sits on his shoulder telling him what he shouldn't be doing). Phury is an addict and his layers need to be peeled back to save him from himself.
Phury's selfless acts come back to mentally haunt him. Bella is his addiction. Always drawing her, then consuming her portrait in ivy leaves to cover her up. He has sunk as low as he can go. Even a Brother has a limit.
 
Rhev must do what he must do to keep Xhex and himself safe.
 
Scribe Virgin has placed Vishous in the Primale role much to his dispair. Phury to the rescue. I always knew from book #1 that the limited number of Brothers who weren't servicing the Chosen in the way that was needed to keep the brothers population growing was going to finally be an issue. A brother is needed to be the Primale, to take it for the team and service 40 Chosen to bring the bubs into the world to replenish the brothers so there are always warriors in the future to take on the Lessers and Omega. With Tohr awol, that's another man down.
 
Rules need to be changed for the Brotherhood to be around to protect the Vampire world . Agreements need to be reached.
 
The Omega is stepping it up with an enormous twist in the Lesser world.
 
Blaylock ...well ...POW!!!!!! Qhuinn is still a fave with his behaviour. I can't help smiling at Qhuinn. A bond is formed with Qhuinn and John, not to be broken. John Matthews is certainly coming into himself .


FAVE QUOTE:

Stress in a person was like air in a balloon. too much pressure, too much shit, too much bad news... and the birthday party gets messy.

ABOVE FANMADE CLIP HAS SPOILERS SO WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!

RATING: 5 STARS !!!! 
ADDICTIVE READING!!

Book Blurb : Taken From Goodreads

In Caldwell, New York, war rages between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now the cold heart pf a cunning predator will be warmed against its will...


Ruthless and brilliant, Vishous, son of the Bloodletter, possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a pretrans growing up in his father's war camp he was tormented and abused. 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 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 cannot include her...

BOOK REVIEW:

This is Vishous , 'V's story. You find out a whole lot about Vishous in this book.

'Zsadist' made me 'feel' for him in his story, 'Lover Awakened', but ,  Vishous life was horrendous.

There was one point in this book where I was up the river parked , sitting in my car reading , watching my kids in playground, Christina Aguilera slow song was playing on radio, maybe it was the song...but!! I just blubbered with poor 'V'. 

Phury I respect even more after reading this book. He may be the quietly written Brother in the series but he is such a selfless , thoughtful character. Some readers may think boring, but I beg to differ.

I'm loving John and his two buds. They are great fun and I think will continue to be :D

I thought my eyes were boggling at the uber smexi scenes before I got to  book 5...OMG!!!! J.R Ward takes it up a notch. The thing I like about the smexi scenes is it's about the characters personality, not 'just because, or for the sake of it'. To be honest, I think this series could be written without the 'hot tamale' scenes and would still be brilliant books. Sure the 'hot tamale' scenes are ..well...wow!!! but!! that's not why I love these books. They are a part of the very male characters but not the whole story.

The characters are just awesomely ( if that's a word) written. The changing POV's . The 'POW's that you get are great. Wonderful 'POW' in this book, didn't see that one coming. J.R can one minute make you feel emotion that tugs at your heart and then the next you are bursting out laughing.

The characters layers get really peeled back.  The emotions J.R Ward makes you feel in each book are quite memorable. I'm in for the long haul with this series, they are very addictive.

The Vishous at the start of this series to the Vishous at the end of this book has come a long way:D

My top three guys are:

Zsadist - So sad to see his story, but so glad at the way he has come out of it.
Butch - Didn't really dig Butch at first but then he won me over, very loyal.
Vishous - I didn't think I would have put 'V' in there until I read his story...his pain ..wow!!!

BUTCH AWESOME, LOYAL!! AND A BIT OF A NAUGHTY SMEXI TALKER IN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Book Blurb : Taken From Goodreads

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York there's a war raging between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defender of their race. But now an ally of the Brotherhood is about to encounter his own dark desire...


Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard living, ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, Marissa, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers...

Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, he's found by a miracle, and the Brotherhood calls Marissa to bring him back. But even her love may not be enough to save him...
 
BOOK REVIEW:

I have to be very careful with my reviews now as it is going to be very difficult not to give anything away.

Butch!! Butch!! Butch!!!...WOW!!!  I am impressed. I wasn't overly before this book, but WOW!!!

The BFF / man love between Butch and Vishous is special. Loyal to each other beyond any of the Brothers. J.R Ward has created a great book here. Her imagination is wonderful to read.

Butch earned huge brownie points with me as the reader with his loyalty to the Brotherhood and his strength. J.R Ward just keeps surprising me with her storyline. 'POW'!!!!!! Lots revealed in this book.

Marissa maybe 300+ years old but dang somebody give that woman a book/manual....lol!!!

Havers , I am sorry J .R . but he really is a bag of annoyance. If you wanted him read that way, well bravo it worked:D

I love Zsadist has found his 'thing', something he is good at.
John is still feeling the loss and dealing, life outside the classroom isn't a whole lot of fun.

Butch's character really grows...in this book :)
There are some wonderful scenes between Butch and Vishous, emotional and eye boggling. Vishous begins to show us more.

Lover Awakened bk 3 and Lover Revealed bk 4 are my two fave books in series to date.

I don't know if my addiction can be cured, LOL!!
You gotta love J. R . Wards writing.

By: J. R. Ward

RATING : 5 STARS!!  LOVED IT!! ZSADIST...SIGH!!!!

Book Blurb : Taken From Goodreads

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, a deadly turf war rages between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Of these, Zsadist is the most terrifying member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.


A former blood slave, the vampire Zsadist still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. Renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. Anger is his only companion and terror his only passion-until he rescues a beautiful female from the evil Lessening Society.


Bella is instantly entranced by the seething power Zsadist possesses. But even as their desire for each other begins to overtake them, Zsadist's thirst for vengeance against Bella's tormentors drives him to the brink of madness. Now Bella must help her lover overcome the wounds of his tortured past and find a future with her.



"I was dead until you found me, though I breathed. I was sightless, though I could see. And then you came...and I was awakened."

BOOK REVIEW:

I absolutely loved this book!!! Zsadist character was just sooo well written. I knew I was going to love Z!!!!

Wow!! This is primarily Zsadist and Bella's book. I got a whopping POW!!! but I won't tell you where. I would have got more but I darn well was adding these youtube fanmade vids to my reviews and saw too much:(  But love the clever peoples who take the time to make them:D
Í love a POW!!!  I just did not see this one coming, well done J.R. Ward.  I always have theories when I am reading books and you totally got me!!!!

This book has real heartache in it. I was just about blubbering with a scene in this book. I just felt so....well....affected by this character.

I understand Phury more now, where as I was wondering a bit about him. Butch is quite funny in this book. I laughed out loud at a verbal between Phury and Butch.

Tohrment , John, Wellsie....sigh....great little family there. Love Tohr and Wellsie for their love of John:D.....sob!!

Mr O is out doing his horrendous thing and upping the stakes.
So far Book 3 is my fave. You learn a fair bit in this book.

The smexi is well...smexi but also not like the other books,  so to speak. There is so much more pain mentally this time. So much more emotion at stake. I could have cried for Zsadist, so many times.

John's character develops more . Stones are unturned. Life changes.

I would love to say sooo much more but it would ruin the story, so I will sign off and hope you enjoy the Black Dagger Brotherhood books as much as I am :D

RATING : 5 STARS HOT TAMALE READ WITH A DASH OF HOT SAUCE!!!

Book Blurb : Taken From Goodreads

Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetite. He's the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover-for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin.


Possessed by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him. When Mary Luce is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world, she must rely on Rhage's protection. Knowing that Mary feels the same intense animal attraction, Rhage must make her his alone...
 
 
 
BOOK REVIEW:
 
'Lover Eternal' is Rhage's story  . After getting on the bad side of the Scribe Virgin for being a bit of an ass, he was cursed to 200 years of the Beast ( dragon)  being a part of him. The Beast is great in a fight with Lessers, but not for Rhage as a vampire. You get to learn more about the boys their bonds what they will do for each other.


Wrath has woken up to his position and accepted it/welcomed it.


Mr X has placed Mr O answering to him. These are just boys that have been sort out for their violent ways to be suitable for giving their soul to join Lessers, to eradicate the vampires. More intel is collected from tortured civilian vampires , the brotherhood is being noticed.


Mary has found herself attracted to Rhage. She is very strong but also very weak. The brotherhood adore her, well most of them. Will she be able to fight her own personal war as well as Rhages.


Bella , Mary and John have found themselves caught up in the brotherhood.
John is one to watch * wiggles eyebrows*. 


Butch has found himself in a rather unlikely situation and enjoying himself. You kinda feel like Butch in a way has been saved from himself and  friendships/bonds have been formed. Yay!! for Butch. I can't wait to see how his story plays out.


The gritty/violent/male/erotic world of J.R Ward is very addictive. I am holding my breath waiting for my next installment to arrive.

RATING : 4.5 STARS!!! HOT TAMALE BOYS CLUB !!!

Book Blurb : Taken From Goodreads

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Yet none of them relishes killing their enemies more than Wrath, the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood...


The only purebred vampire left on the planet, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But when one of his most trusted fighters is killed - orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate - Wrath must usher the beautiful female into the world of the undead...


Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn't there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of brotherhood and blood frighten her. But his touch ignites a dawning hunger that threatens to consume them both...
 
 
BOOK REVIEW:

I had been told that I had to read Black Dagger Brotherhood series for quite sometime now. I finally reserved some at the library, just to see before I bought them. I have since purchased a boat load from The Book Depository. Wow!! These are not YA books!!!!! Keep them away from the young chickens.


Wrath, Tohrment, Rhage, Phury, Zsadist, Vishious, Darius are The Black Dagger Brotherhood. ( BDB)  
They are warriors out to keep the vampire civilians in the mortal world safe from Lessers ( slayers who make Buffy look like Barbie with a nail file)
Mr X has worked his way up the pecking order and runs the Lessers. The Omega, if you are a Lesser, you never want to meet. The Omega a mystical figure has targeted the vampires for extinction.
The Lessers were once human but give their souls to join and fight/kill vampires always torturing for intel. 


Each of  BDB books are directed at a character. Dark Lover is Wraths story. These are very manly guys you wouldn't want to be on their bad side. The books are quite erotically written when it comes to the smexi scenes, so hold on to your seats.


Dark Lover has Wrath discovering himself , allowing for himself to be happy and what is right for the Brotherhood and vampires.


Beth gets swept up rather dizzingly fast into the vampire world with her good friend Butch a gritty cop.  I love the way J.R Ward can show the warriors otherside. I felt for Zsadist virtually the minute I met him. Tohrment I would trust with my life.


I really enjoyed 'Dark Lover' and 'Lover Eternal' I thought was better. You would have to read in order , currently 9 books in series. I can't wait for Zsadist's story.



I love the names that J.R Ward has thought up for the warriors. Brilliant!! You wouldn't want to meet these guys in a dark alley, but if you are their 'Shellan', well read on........
