Lover Enshrined - J.R. Ward

SPOLIERS AHEAD!!! YE'VE BEEN WARNED!!



Description:

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists 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 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 mate, the Chosen Cormia wants to win not only his body but his heart for herself- she sees the emotionally scarred male behind all his noble responsibility. But while the war with the Lessening Society grows more grim, and tragedy looms over the Brotherhood's mansion, Phury must decide between duty and love.

What? Could it be? Could another of the Brotherhood have wiggled his way to the top spot on my list pushing Vishous down to number 2....NO! BUT that does not mean that I did not love this story because I did!!

I found that Cormia and Phury fit well together. Her pureness helping take the edge off of his demons! Phury did take my breath away and it was not just from the red smoke but his whole self everything about him you thought you might have known from the previous books was blown out of the water but then when the scattered pieces landed again what you saw was the same Phury but with other edges some hardened from spending most of his life first looking for Zsadist then being wound like a top waiting for Zsadist to finally lose it then harboring feelings for Bella and trying to make sense of all of it. I think after everything he went through I might have turned to the Wizard as well in my head and smoked up a bit. I also like how J.R. Ward just didn't make him better like *snap* that. At the end of the book he was still battling his addiction but he was working on it and willing to become a bigger person from it!! And that there showed me he more than deserved to be #2 on my list...so far my list is as follows:

1. Vishous
2. Phury
3. Butch
4. Wrath
5. Rhage
6. Zsadist

BUT do not get it twisted that was hard for me to do because looking at it now I'm thinking "I sooo should bump Rhage up to #3" but oh well I think if you ask me tomorrow they will be in different positions (save for Vishous)!!

OMG finallly Tohrment is back and who is this Lassiter character he is very likable and from what I can tell one sexy angel!! Also somehow I knew it was Lash that was the Omega's child because in my heart of hearts I just couldn't allow it to be either Blay or Qhuinn!!

Well my glorious, lovely readers I'm off to get started on Rehvenge's story...hmm where will he rank on this list....

If you want to read Phury and Cormia's story just go here --> Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6) or if you have yet to read any of them and you need the first six books in the series just go here -->J.R. Ward Box Set

Lover Unbound - J.R. Ward

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!




Description:

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other—six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now, the cold heart of 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 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 cannot include her.

Since the first book of this series I have been waiting to get my hands on Vishous' story. I don't know from that first book just something about him captivated me...maybe it was his brain...yeah I'm a geek lover or nerd lover whatevs!!!

OH BOY I simply loved this book!! It was sweet, heartwrenching, erotic and full of excitement!! OH MAN to find out that my boy was into the hard core type of stuff didn't turn me away from him at all after learning of his story!! Also I was finally glad to see that maybe the feelings he thought he had for Butch were just from the fact that he had never really cared for anyone in his long life and for the first time he did and he just thought he was in love with the guy.

I really loved Jane...she was a total smartass (kind of like me) she didn't take crap from anyone and she was exactly what Vishous needed in his life. She took him for everything he was from vampire to sexual dominant...yeah hot right??

Well I gave this five stars simply because Vishous still has my heart and Phury right now is working his way in there (I'm reading his story now)!! I have to say I was a little disappointed that in the end Jane gets to stay with Vishous but as a ghost?? I was deeply hurt by that because maybe I like Vishous so much I wanted him to have everything because I think his character deserved it but after much pondering he seemed to be happy and so therefore how could I not be happy for him!!

So you wanna read Vishous and Jane's story well then just go here --> Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 5) or you need to read the first six books then go here -->J.R. Ward Box Set

Lover Revealed - J.R. Ward

SPOLERS!! SPOLIERS!!! SPOILERS!!!! OK is that enough warning???



Description:

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now, an ally of the Black Dagger Brotherhood will face the challenge of his life and the evil of the ages.

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, 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, found by a miracle, the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back, though even her love may not be enough to save him...


Other than Vishous so far I've been looking forward to the book of Butch "cop" O'Neal!! We've teased throughout the last three books with Butch and Marissa and I'm finally glad the two got their happily ever after!! The chemistry between Butch and Marissa is incredible and their passion is just as hot!!

The two do have to overcome quite a few obstacles what with Butch being a human and Marissa being a vampire and a part of the glymera (aristocracy of the vampire world). Right at the beginning of the book Butch is kidnapped by the lessers and tortured in hopes that he will give up information on the Brotherhood but Butch holds true to his brothers in arms but what happens next was totally shocking!! The Omega cuts off a finger and buries it in Butch's stomach and from there it takes Vishous (my fictional boyfriend) to remove it and use his own curse to help. In the end it comes out that Butch is the long foretold prophecy of the Lessening Society.  Now with the power to literally suck out the essence of the lessers and send them into the void without having to return to the vein of the Omega the Brotherhood now has the weapon they need to ultimately defeat the Omega. Also we find out that Butch and Vishous are the Dark and the Light and the Brotherhood needs both to wage the war against the Omega and the Lessenging Society. THEN it is found out that Butch is actually a descendant of the King, Wrath (Dark Lover). With that bloodline Vishous is able to turn Butch into a Vampire and then he is inducted into the society under the name of Dhestroyer!!

WHOA I didn't mean to get into all that but whatever!! The more I read of these books the more I want and well now I'm off to read the one I've been wanting to read since I read the first book Lover Unbound oh Vishous here I come!!

If you want to read Butch and Marissa's story just go here -->  Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 4) or if you have not read the other books you can get the first six books in a box set here -->J.R. Ward Box Set
