Or this post could also be titled "Darn it...on the Wall of Shame again!". This is the book that I read for October TBR challenge, but I finished it a little late! But I hear I wasn't the only one this month!!Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He's the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious love - for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Owned by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.
Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships, is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant on Rhages's protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. She lost her faith in miracles years ago. But when Rhage's intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves...
Title: Lover Eternal
Author: J R Ward
Year published: 2006
Why did you get this book? I read Dark Lover not too long ago, and enjoyed it, so I am working my way through the Black Dagger Brotherhood books.
Do you like the cover? I guess so.
Did you enjoy the book? Yes
Was the author new to you and would you read something by this author again? No the author is not new to me, and yes I will definitely be reading more. In fact I ordered it so I should get it delivered to me tomorrow...hopefully. So much for not buying books at the moment.
Are you keeping it or passing it on? Definitely keeping it!
Anything else? If nothing else I find it interesting that Ward takes circumstances that shouldn't work and puts them into a story where it just does! For example, I could never have imagined reading a book where the heroine has cancer with all the bruises etc, and yet it is still sexy. The hero has an inner beast that comes out....and that's sexy too. At one stage he even tries to go with other women to be able to keep the beast under control. Normally cheating would bother me, but in this case it didn't!
I loved the way that Bella and Zsadist's story started to be woven through the second half of this book. Can't wait to read Lover Awakened.
Rating 4/5
I'm glad you liked this one but I'm thinking Lover Awakened will blow your mind. I absolutely loved it! Can't wait to read your thoughts.

I am really looking forward to Lover Awakened! Can't wait to get it!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about JRW being able to write about circumstances that shouldn't work...but do. I've read some readers who have kind of given up on her because they don't *trust* her anymore (you'll probably get that more after LA, although I was spoiled for that book and knew what was going to happen). But I really disagree. I totally trust her to *sell* the stories and characters to me, even if at first glance they challenge what I'm comfortable with.
ReplyDeleteDo you know, it's so difficult to talk about the BDB books without spitting out any spoilers!
