This wraps up book three of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Starting with chapter 39, Mr. U is made the fore-lessor. Bella asks Rehvenge to come home. She tells him that she went through her needing and is in love with the brother but he doesn't want her. Now Mr. O is back in charge. (Did you get whiplash?) Bella is sent to stay with Havers and Marissa. While John is practicing Lash lands a dirty blow that Z witnesses. Z tells Lash that he remove..

TheSpineView ..his eyes if he ever tries something like that again. Then Z sends a message to all the trainees John is under his protection. Mr. O breaks into Bella's family house and sees the memorial. He is now convinced she is dead. Mr. O tells Wellsie and abducts Sarelle. Butch takes Phury to Havers to get payched up. While there, he feeds from Bella. Marissa tries to get Butch to "call on her" and he refuses. Mr. O sets up a meeting with Z using Sarelle 4mo

TheSpineView ..as leverage. Wrath and the brothers tell Tohr that Wellsie is dead. He disappears and John is devastated. Z gets Wrath's permission to average Bella and Wellsie. Z knows it is a suicide mission. Phury drugs Z so he can take his place. When he drank from Bella he discovered she is pregnant. He wants Z to live and be a father. Everything goes wrong and Z has Bella use the blood connection to find Phury. At the end of the day, it is Bella who.. 4mo

TheSpineView ...kills Mr. O and saves both z and Phury. Bella says goodbye and goes to Charleston to live with extended family. Viscous dupes Butch into drinking his blood. He says it is necessary because he has had a vision. Tohr is still missing. Bella returns to the man's two months later to tell Z he is going to be a father. During her time away Z has totally transformed himself. They finally tell each other how they feel. Z goes with Bella to meet her... 4mo

TheSpineView #BDBBookClub #BDBBuddyRead #BDB A lot went on in these final chapters. I feel sorry for John Matthew. He just can't catch a break. He needs a hug. I didn't see the point in the change of leadership in the Lessors. Maybe Ward is trying to show how unstable the society is??? Looking forward to the next book and also excited to get to John Matthew 's book. 4mo

ShananigansReads I had forgotten the whole climax of this book so it was a bit like reading it for the first time again. This is such a hard story but it ends with so much love. Also I love John Matthew so much. 4mo

TheSpineView @ShananigansReads I didn't remember a lot of details. I did remember that Wellsie was killed and I still cried. So sad😢 4mo

ShananigansReads @TheSpineView Yes, Wellsie was the one thing I did remember (and Tor‘s reaction) but I had the situation all wrong. 🤦🏾‍♀️ 4mo

TheSpineView @ShananigansReads I had forgotten how Z stood up for John. I loved how he never said a word but he left no doubt with the trainees that John was under his protection. I think this scene was in the book to show how Z was changing. 4mo

ShananigansReads @TheSpineView yesss!! Z truly evolved in this story 4mo

julesG Z really changed and I loved it. And it took time and wasn't insta-180° like in so many other romance novels. I'm still furious about Wellsie's death. That felt like death of a character in a soap opera who wants to leave the show, so sudden, so (imo) unnecessary. 4mo

PageShifter O being back in charge was a surprise! But he is gone now! My previous question stays: who's the next villain now. Well Omega is still there so. I never would have guessed that someone as important as Wellsie would die!! And Sarelle too! That was a real shock to me. The rescue was a bit mess. I feel bad for him also for Tohr. He should have stayed for John. I am curious to know why V had to make Butch to drink his blood. Reverand's identity was 🤯 3w

PageShifter I was also sad for Wellsie but the scene didn't make me cry. The writing left me a bit cold. First I wasn't even sure it really happened. And then when it was confirmed so much happened and there wasn't room for emotions. She was one of my faves so I am shocked 3w

PageShifter @julesG I also loved how he changed. It's always lovely to see some character growth. 3w

TheSpineView @PageShifter V had Buych drink his blood because he will be able to track him 3w

Zsadist denies to Phury that he has bonded with her. He thinks Phury is the right make for her. Bella enters her needing. Zsadist services her but offers her the option of being drugged, which she declines. Butch takes John to his...

TheSpineView I'm enjoying the series. However, I wish we would learn how each of the brothers got recruited into the Brotherhood. Were they all from warrior bloodlines? 4mo

julesG I think in one of the books it says that the Brothers had to come from warrior bloodlines. But looking at the dwindling numbers the Brotherhood should change some of its rules. 4mo

TheSpineView @julesG Agree. Also, what about halfbreeds? 4mo

julesG Well, they made Butch a brother, so non-warrior bloodlines and halfbreeds should be accepted too. In one of the next books there's a part about how the inbreeding (pure bloods, warriors+chosen=chosen/brothers) has caused problems already and to protect the race they'd need fresh blood [it's on the chosen-side, when the handicapped chosen in black robes is introduced(?)] - guess vampire high society has the same problems as the royal/noble... 4mo

julesG ... families of Europe had. Too much inbreeding damaged the bloodlines and caused all kinds of hereditary problems to come to the fore. 4mo

TheSpineView @julesG Hopefully, with Wrath on the throne now things will change. His children will not be full-blooded warriors. Beth is at least half human so any children can at best be only 3/4 vampire. 4mo

PageShifter I am happy for John's therapy: maybe he isn't like Z as an adult if he continues with it. Can Rehvenge's blood do something bad to Marissa?! Why V has lost his ability? So many questions. The Reverand was sooner a problem than what I expected. 3w

TheSpineView @PageShifter There are lots of questions. They do get answers eventually. There is a book that is coming up about Rehvenge. Hopefully we will get all the answers on him. 3w

Mr O is now the fore-lessor and Mr U is his 2nd in command. (Something tells me that will not go well) Bella needs to feed but only wants Zsadist. Though it kills him, Zsadist thinks she needs to feed from Phury. After much back and forth Bella does feed from Zsadist. Zsadist and Bella kiss for the first time. Bella learns more about his abuse.
John has his first day at training. John is not feeling it.

TheSpineView Phury learns that the owner of Screamers, the Reverand, is a symphath. Butch thinks Phury is gay and asks him while they are playing pool. No, not gay but pining after Bella even though he knows Bella has chosen Zsadist. We find out how Phury lost his leg when he rescued Zsadist. Mr. O is watching Bella's house and he daydreams about " his wife" and how he can make her a lessor. (he has totally lost his mind). Havers tells John that he is a full.. 4mo

TheSpineView Full-blooded warrior and that he is Darius's son. Tohr and Wellsie are excited about this news. Havers suggests that John go to therapy. Bella's brother, Rehvenge, will stop at nothing to get her back home. Something is wrong with Rehvenge because he has to take a drug to function. Tohr tells Zsadist that Rehvenge has asked Wrath to make Bella his ward. Bella is not happy about this when she finds out. Bella realizes she loves Zsadist. 4mo

PageShifter So much happened! O has totally lost his mind and I have a feeling he might loose his life in this book. But who will then be the next villain 🤔 Maybe he survives. Zsadist knows now that Bella is the one for him! I don't really like Bella's brother, even though I see why he's acting like this. What's his illness?! I am happy that John goes to therapy, like it was said in the previous discussion: they all need it. What a symphath can do 🤔 3w

At the opening of Lover Awakened, book 3, it has been 6 weeks since Bella was captured. Most think her dead. Mr. O is keeping her and calling her his wife. He has even brought her a male vampire to drink from. Bella helps the male escape while Mr. O is distracted. The Brotherhood and Bella's fanily now know she is alive. A plan is made and Bella is rescued. We learn more about Zsadist's time as a blood slave.

TheSpineView Zsadist takes Bella to his room. He is acting like a bonded made and others are noticing. Phury is also attracted to Bella. Tohr takes John to meet Wrath, when Beth comes in the room it causes John to pass out. John goes to Havers then later home and meets Sarelle. She tells John that she thinks Tohr and Wellsie want her to be the one John drinks from during his transition. @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom 4mo

julesG Butch's thoughts about Phury. His looks and that he'd be "a Nancy" if it wasn't for his fighting skills. ? That part didn't age well. 4mo

TheSpineView @julesG He is a total fruitcake. 4mo

TheSpineView @julesG Totally 4mo

julesG Had to continue with the audiobook, nearly at halfway point. 4mo

TheSpineView @julesG I did the same. I feel sorry for Zsadist. He reminds me of some I knew when I was young that struggled with an eating disorder. She said she felt like eating was the only thing she could control. I think that is, at least part of, the reason Zsadist deprives himself. 4mo

julesG Yes, I think that's his reason. But I also think he's punishing himself so much for what happened to him although it was all out of his control. He's not to blame for what happened. He needs to realise it. 4mo

julesG I think they all could benefit from a few sessions with a therapist. 4mo

TheSpineView @julesG He does have a lot of guilt and Phury's guilt is probably not helping him either. Even if it is just subconsciously, I think when he see Phury's guilt it reaffirms his. In other words, if Phury has guilt then it is OK to feel guilty too. Therapy would do them all good. 4mo

PageShifter I am sick and reading this now. This is a perfect comfort read! And I laughed how easily I could relate to Bella when I am sick while reading this xD I can't wait to see how Z kills his capturer! It's hard to read about his past. I love how thrilling this has been! O is trying to get Bella back. What Harvest found from her 🤔 Why John passed out? I hope Z gets soon to know that Bella didn't see him when she screamed. 4w

TheSpineView @PageShifter Sorry your sick! Hope you feel better soon! 4w

Continuing with my series reread, this is my favorite of the series! Zsadist is a “broken boy” who is redeemed by Bella‘s love. I love this trope. Zsadist was a blood slave a few centuries ago, and has carried shame and self-loathing his entire life. As a result, he‘s pretty miserable to be around. Until Bella crosses his path and his cold heart begins to melt and experience love for the first time. Love, love, love this one.

This book was originally one of my favourites of the series (back when there were only 6 books). Zsadist has always been one of my favourite characters from this series, but this time through I love the entire brotherhood. I‘m not sure I can pick a favourite. Z is certainly up there though with his past, and his strength to eventually push through it all. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics I didn‘t remember so much of this book, but all those details made the book even better than I remembered it. How fitting I should finish this book on the birthday of the person who first introduced me to this series back in 2009. #jrward #BlackDaggerBrotherhood #LoverAwakened 3y

This is my favorite book out of the series so far! It was so good! I loved the healing that Zsadist has to go through. I love the relationship between Zsadist and Bella. This book was heartbreaking as well since something bad happens to a character. Mr. O is just a psychopath and made a great villain. This was just great and I cannot wait to carry on more with this series.

ShananigansReads Rhages‘s book was one of my favorites too. And I have a soft spot for John Matthew. 6y

AmandaEve @Bookjunkie57 ohh yes I‘m curious to see how John‘s story evolves. I have some thoughts about it but want to see how it unfolds 😊 6y

ShananigansReads Can‘t wait to see what you think. Now I feel like I should reread the series. 6y

madamereadsalot1 Love these books! I loved Z's story too. My favorite book is probably Lover at Last, even though V is my brother! 6y

AmandaEve @Bookjunkie57 right! I‘m sure these will be nice rereads in the future 6y

AmandaEve @madamereadsalot1 ohh I‘m excited to get to it. I can‘t wait to dive into the rest of the brothers‘ stories! 6y

Z is now my favorite of the brothers. To be fair that is now the third time I‘ve change my mind on who is my favorite so chances are it will change again. These books are amazing JR Ward creates characters that are so floored and well human that you can‘t help but suffer with them. The story such you in and drags you along kicking and screaming. I love these books

BOOK Three of my reread, Lover Awakended by J.R.Ward, Bella and Zsadist story is one of the hardest to read from the series it also touches on a basic insecurities and fears we all have, it took me a little longer then normal to read but I am glad I did

1) I've read A LOT of romances, so I decided to put the book that introduced and hooked me to the modern romance genre.
2) Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth
3) Orchids
4) Swedish Fish
5) Red

#oneisthelonliest
Congratulations @Elle_Skeldon 🎂💕🎈👏🏻🎊
I think of Zhadist as the loner brother in the Blackgagger Brotherhood... With a past full of suffering and humiliation, anger was his only companion until he rescues beautiful Bella ❤️
#giveaway thank you for the opportunity!!! ❤️❤️

I've only read the first three books of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, and this has to be my favorite! This was my second read and I loved it still!
The tragic tale of Zhadist had me yearning to give him a hug. It was so sad to hear about his past. I was so happy that Bella came into his picture. They were perfect for each other.
