Dark Lover -
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 more than Wrath, the leader of The Black Dagger Brotherhood.The only purebred vampire left on earth, 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-leaving his half-breed daughter unaware of his existence or her fate-Wrath must usher her into the world of the undead-a world of sensuality beyond her wildest dreams.

You don't know this yet. But you are MineFirst time I read this book, I fell in love with it irrevocably. J.R. Ward revealed the sexy and badass characters from the very first page. Wrath, my beloved king, was not looking for love but when he looks upon Beth, his world is changed. The chemistry between them is beyond exploding. It's a dynamite destroying and crushing my sanity into pieces.Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy, he thought. For the price of admission, you get a splitting headache, a nearly irresistable urge to commit murder, and an inferiority complex. Yippee. The world in BDB is myterious and virile with supernatural creatures. Vampires don't suck blood from human, they drinks from their race. So the story goes around how Wrath tried to push Beth away in the beginning, but she's irresistable. After that, he just can't ignore his heart no more. The romance has the great potential. I loved the ending, it's very exciting to see how the next book will pick up after the most sexy character, Rage.This is my second read. And Dark Lover is still my favoite of this genre. I was so impressed. J.R. Ward narrated her story very well making me feel every character and emotion. 5 Stars.More at https://goo.gl/G0cwHa
This one is not going so well. I am getting sick of the these great fighters that remind me of want to be thugs with their slang and cars and rap music. But to redeem them she tosses in leather? Seriously if I hear bro, what's up and WTF one more time I'm through. Not to mention a blind hero who can smell how the heroine looks????? Anywho I give it 25 more pages. Oh did anyone else skip the parts of Mr. X I just can't stand them... No screw it I'm done.
4 SWEET-VAMPIRE-PEACHES STARS!!!!!My Wrath:Wrath is the king who never ascended to the throne. His parents died when he was young, and he blames himself for not being able to save them, so he feels as if he is not fit to be king. Hes a huge vamp with a bad attitude, and I dig every single inch of him. I dont care how mean he isI LOVE an asshole!My Beth:Beth thinks her life is normal and boringnope! Little does she know that she is half-vampire, a rare breed. Beth is a strong character who shows some innocence in certain areas, but its not annoying. I really enjoy her as a heroine, especially because Ive seen her grow throughout the 11 books.Wrath makes a promise to an old friend to protect Beth. Things escalate quickly and they GET.IT.ON! (It bothered me the first time around, but I loved it the second time around.) Wrath tries to leave Beth to protect her from himself, but he just cant stay away. After reading this for the second time, I see how well Ward sets up her characters for future books. She starts so early. I didnt pay enough attention the first time around. Ward is so detailed in her character development. She knows exactly who they are and what is going to happen 5 books from now! I loved this book even more the second time because I know the characters so well. Ive been in Wards head for 11 books!!! And I still cannot get enough! I am so excited to get more of Wrath and Beth in the 12th book!
