Lover Mine review


Description:

In the darkest corners of the night in Caldwell, New York, a conflict like no other rages. Long divided as a terrifying battleground for the vampires and their enemies, the city is home to a band of brothers born to defend their race: the warrior vampires of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

John Matthew has come a long way since he was found living among humans, his vampire nature unknown to himself and to those around him. After he was taken in by the Brotherhood, no one could guess what his true history was- or his true identity. Indeed, the fallen Brother Darius has returned, but with a different face and a very different destiny. As a vicious personal vendetta takes John into the heart of the war, he will need to call up on both who he is now and who he once was in order to face off against evil incarnate.

Xhex, a symphath assassin, has long steeled herself against the attraction between her and John Matthew. Having already lost one lover to madness, she will not allow the male of worth to fall prey to the darkness of her twisted life. When fate intervenes, however, the two discover that love, like destiny, is inevitable between soul mates.

My thoughts: I was soo looking forward to this when I heard about the next book. Zsadist was always my favorite brother, that is until John Matthews showed up and silently stole my heart. So of course, I was super excited for the one. And I have to say, I loved it! Not only was Lover Mine good at portraying John’s story with Xhex, showing the heartbreak and joys of love. Out of all the books in the series, I think Lover Mine did the best in making all parts of the story appealing. I knew I’d love the John and Xhex parts, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed all the other aspects. New relationships are built, old relationships change and grow.

Qhuinn and Blay had me anxious, wondering how their part of the story would turn out in this book. I also loved Wrath and Payne’s new friendship. Their relationship shed a little more insight on Payne and her mother. Other than John, my favorite part was the improvement on the story of the lessers. Normally I tried to read the lesser’s part as quickly as possible (and sometimes not at all) so I could get back to the brotherhood. Now, with Lash involved, things become more interesting. Now that I’ve finished the book, all I can do is reread my favorite scenes and wait for Payne’s story (so excited it that it’s a girls turn!).

Black Dagger Brotherhood News






This site has done a great job in using clues to determine what will happen in the next Black Dagger Brotherhood book, as well as what will happen later in the series. Until the next novella or novel comes out, I'll be dealing with my John Matthew addiction.

Dark Lover Review


Summary
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.

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....

I loved this book! Actually I love this series. I actually like that this paranormal romance novel focuses on more than just the two main characters. As I began to read, I knew that I wanted to know even more about the world of the vampires and the lessers. In some books the story is told from people on the "good side" and people on the "bad side". I appreciated that each time Ward switched to the view of one of the bad guys it didn't last more then two pages, (normally) because honestly I'm really not interested in reading from the bad guy's view for a whole chapter (like a lot of books I've read in the past). Ward kept it interesting the whole way through. I'm not into the cussing and I didn't have to have the sex (I'm used to reading the young adult books where the characters stick to kissing or just give inferences that they've had sex) but I loved the romance! This is a good read for anyone who likes paranormal romances and is old enough to read books like this.

Covet: A Novel of the Fallen Angels

I'm so excited about her new series! I've fallen in love with her black dagger brotherhood series (not that i've finished reaing all the books yet). I hope I fall in love with this series to. This book will be released on September 29, 2009.
Redemption isn't a word Jim Heron knows much about—his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charge with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. And failure is not an option. Vin DiPietro long ago sold his soul to his business, and he’s good with that—until fate intervenes in the form of a tough- talking, Harley-riding, self-professed savior. But then he meets a woman who will make him question his destiny, his sanity, and his heart—and he has to work with a fallen angel to win her over and redeem his own soul. - The review is via Amazon.
