Lover Unleashed: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood | J.R. Ward
24 posts | 102 read | 11 to read
#1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward's thrilling new novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Payne, twin sister of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, seductive cloth as her brother. Imprisoned for eons by their mother, the Scribe Virgin, she finally frees herself-only to face a devastating injury. Manuel Manello, M.D., is drafted by the Brotherhood to save her as only he can-but when the human surgeon and the vampire warrior meet, their two worlds collide in the face of their undeniable passion. With so much working against them, can love prove stronger than the birthright and the biology that separates them?

Love the cover for this one. It was fun learning more about Payne and V. It was cool to see such the great connections for Butch, too. This book was much better than the previous book, though it still had some heteronormative BS going on. I‘m not sure why Penguin Audio insists on breaking up the audiobooks the way the do, but at least they kept the same narrator.

🤣😂🤣 I love how there is pretty much only one guy in the entire brotherhood who knows how to use electronics.

Picking this up for a little bit before I head to bed. I have PT in the morning and I haven‘t done any of the exercises this week because I‘ve been battling shin splints, ankle pain, and arch pain because of the physical therapy. I‘m still half tempted to cancel for tomorrow and wait until next week. alas, the brothers would push through and Wrath would make them, so…

julesG Hope you're feeling better. Go to PT. I've just come back from my gruelling session. 3y
julesG Also, on to book 7 😉 3y
GingerAntics @julesG she doesn‘t pay attention, so I‘m shaking for an entire exercise, hurting myself, and when she look up in the last 15-20 seconds she‘s all “shaking, I love it.” I‘m over here trying not to pull something. I pulled my freakin groin last week while I was here. 🙄 So not a fan, but here I am. If she could just figure out that my bloody name wasn‘t “MEE-gan” I would maybe be cool. 3y

GingerAntics @julesG how are you on book 7 already? I swear they‘re getting longer. Are you on Father Mine or Lover Avenged? 3y
julesG Ugh, PTs who don't pay attention are dangerous. 3y
julesG I'm listening to Lover Avenged atm, while sewing. It is very long indeed. So many subplots. 😳 3y
GingerAntics @julesG that‘s probably why I pulled my groin last week. She tried to convince me I didn‘t pull it. Um, lady, I used to be an elite athlete. I bloody well know what my body is doing, thanks. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG it really does have so many threads to follow. They seem to get more complex as they go, because there is all this history that gets woven in, especially with John‘s story and now Payne‘s. Have you figured out who John really is yet? 😏 3y
julesG Sure, knew who John is early on. I think right from his first black-out seeing Beth. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG of course you did. I‘m continuously amazed at the people who have no clue. Like seriously people?! 3y
julesG It's so obvious. Thinking about it, I suppose I knew even before he first met Beth. Not entirely sure what to say about the Omega's son thing. That felt a bit tacked on. Though I liked the red herring that Qhuinn might be the rotten one, because of his mismatched eyes. Still knew it had to be Lash, too much evil around him. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG yeah, Lash was evil from the beginning. I also had an inkling that John was Darius, but couldn‘t put my finger on it. I actually googled it before I got to his meeting with Beth. If that wasn‘t clue enough, I would have thought the part where he has a seizure and remembers being in the car as it exploded should have been clue enough. 🙄 3y

I don't know why I'm so addicted to this series. It's like a vampire soap opera with lots of fighting and angsty men. Apparently, that is where my head needs to be during a pandemic.

3rd book read for the #NovelNovember #Readathon

Thinking I'm going to switch up my plans and read Men Explain Things to Me and A Dream So Dark. Both were on sale as ebooks today. Currently listening to Patient Zero on audio.

Finally finished this book after weeks of reading it. This was a pretty difficult book to get through. It wasn‘t Ward‘s best - I gave it‘s 3/5 stars on Goodreads. #books #recentlyfinished #badnarrators #paranormalromance #jrward

1) Rice - I could eat it with every dang meal and I almost do. And It doesn‘t matter the type. Lol.
2) A Polaroid Zip - I use it to print out photos for my vision board and my planner.
3) I‘m reading the book attached to this post, as well as , Beloved by Toni Morrison and The Wrath & The Dawn by Renée Ahdieh.

1) Usually right after dinner. (Though not all the time. It really depends on my day/stress level.)
2) I change into something really comfy, make a cup of tea or coffee, grab a blanket and settle down to read. If I‘m listening to an audiobook everything is the same except I pop in the air buds and set to work on my project!

I was actually a little disappointed in this one... maybe it was just my mood at the time, but it was sooooo angsty. And I had to stop myself from throwing the kindle every time she called him "healer" during sex...

CoverToCoverGirl This was my least favorite in the series too! 8y
Johanna414 @CoverToCoverGirl glad I'm not the only one! 8y

Another sex scene while I'm eating dinner at work. Why does it seem like that is when they always seem to come up?

Nothing quite like a hot love scene and spaghettios at the office. Lol I always feel so scandalous listening to/reading a particularly passionate part of a book when I'm in public.

I love vampire books. My only qualms I have with the genre is do they all have to be chiseled and perfect? Let a chubby girl dream.

I will read snooty stuff. I will read dry stuff. I will even read dry, snooty stuff. And love it! But goddamn, this is why I love a good trashy romance novel.

Sometimes you need a trashy romance novel. And a glass of scotch. And a bath. Cheers.

MrsV I love this series! 8y
Thedrunkstrawberry @MrsV i haven't read this series in ages. I'm excited to pick it up again, it used to be a fave of mine! (And lord knows after a semester of psych textbooks I need some fun reading!) 8y
