Beast | J R Ward
Rhage and Mary return in a new novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, a series so popular, I don t think there s a reader today who hasn t at least heard of [it] ("USA Today"). Nothing is as it used to be for the Black Dagger Brotherhood. After avoiding war with the Shadows, alliances have shifted and lines have been drawn. The slayers of the Lessening Society are stronger than ever, preying on human weakness to acquire more money, more weapons, more power. But as the Brotherhood readies for an all-out attack on them, one of their own fights a battle within himself For Rhage, the Brother with the biggest appetites, but also the biggest heart, life was supposed to be perfect or at the very least, perfectly enjoyable. Mary, his beloved "shellan," is by his side and his King and his brothers are thriving. But Rhage can t understand or control the panic and insecurity that plague him And that terrifies him as well as distances him from his mate. After suffering mortal injury in battle, Rhage must reassess his priorities and the answer, when it comes to him, rocks his world...and Mary s. But Mary is on a journey of her own, one that will either bring them closer together or cause a split that neither will recover from..."

Book 14 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood is focused on Rhage and Mary. However, as with all the books in the series, other characters' story lines are advanced. I particularly liked this one because it seemed to bring together various loose ends. Others are still hanging and I am looking forward to reading about their resolutions. 4⭐️

This book started much like some of the other books. The brothers arguing like brothers, the war with the lessers, the Omega making an appearance, but then it quickly changed to something else entirely. This became very domestic and heartwarming. So many happy endings, but also so many new pieces to the puzzle that will surely be put into place in the next books.

GingerAntics This one had several teary moments, some sad, some happy. Talk about a beautiful ending, too. #jrward #BlackDaggerBrotherhood #TheBeast 2y
GingerAntics I‘ve seen some reviews of this book complain about it being whiny and/or boring because both Rhage and Mary want a baby and can‘t have one, and they work through that together because the readers don‘t want kids themselves. What I find interesting is these are the same people that “whine” and get “boring” going on about how no one understands how they just don‘t want kids. Once again, can we just not try to see the other side people? 2y
GingerAntics I get that some folks don‘t want kids. That‘s a personal choice. Not everyone is a kid person. That‘s cool. It‘s better not to have kids than to have kids you don‘t want and have those kids suffer as a result, honestly. Just don‘t complain of a lack of understanding if you‘re going to choose to have a lack of understanding yourself. Can‘t we all try to see each other as valid and human, please?! 2y

The Beast was amazing! I cried a lot, I laughed hysterically and I reread multiple scenes that were just so sweet.

I don‘t want to give away any spoilers. But this book‘s main focus was Mary and Rhage. They‘ve been feeling a disconnect in their relationship. I love how that was dealt with.I feel even more in love with Rhage in this book.We see more Layla and young, Assail making changes and the Brotherhood dealing with even more

Day 16 of #30junebooks
I am #ObsessedWith paranormal Romance. Well specifically these 5 series. These are my favorite books from each series (though I truly love almost every book)
Clockwise from left: Undead series, The Southern Vampire Mysteries, The Dark Hunter series, and the Darkyn series. In the middle is my all time favorite: The Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

This book and the following "Blood Vow" revolve around Rhage and Mary and their struggles as a couple. I cried reading their story, that type of crying where you have to stop reading and gather yourself before you can continue.

I loved the first nine BDB books, and then it was all down hill. Honestly I'm not enjoying the way Ward writes so many ongoing secondary stories, she just keeps starting story lines and not following up on them. Why introduce new characters when you haven't given finished stories on the ones you already have? Really how many stories have to be drawn out, it‘s just too overwhelming.

This is a book in the Black Dagger series. It is excellent to read. I know my collection wouldn't have been complete without it. It has suspense, romance, and everything else you've come to expect from J R Ward.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood is one of my favorite series. The Beast revisits Rhage and Mary and their relationship. I enjoyed this one as much as the rest. If you like paranormals or nontraditional vampires, read the series. It is one of the best in the trope. #romantsy

After reading so many serious, complicated novels it can be nice to sink into a not-much-thinking-required paranormal romance. The Black Dagger Brotherhood books are one of the best "chick lit" series out there. Highly recommended to lighten up your day.?❤️?

StephTKO So... I got about 50 pages into the first novel after a friend recommended it to me. I gave up because the motorcycle gang aesthetic didn't appeal to me. Should I try to overlook that and give it another go? 8y
Lizpixie @StephTKO I'd say, probably not. If the gang feels didn't grab you it's not gonna get any better. The vibe through the whole series is the same. Books are subjective, what grabs one person repels someone else. There's too many books out there to waste time on something that doesn't interest you.✌️😊 8y
StephTKO Lol, voice of reason. Sigh. I'm just hoping to find a good sexy time series. 😳 8y
See All 7 Comments
stargazerblue49 @StephTKO You could try her Fallen Angel series instead. I've inly read the first few, but they were pretty good. I believe I tagged the first of that series. 8y
StephTKO @stargazerblue49 Thanks! : ) 8y
Lizpixie @StephTKO I second the Fallen Angels series. Have you also tried Christine Feehans Dark series, or Sherrilyn Kenyons Dark Hunter novels. And there's also Keri Arthur's Aussie werewolf romances. 8y
stargazerblue49 @StephTKO I'm also a big fan of Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series. Great leading couple! 8y

I'm glad Ward's going far beyond the standard HEA with this series, because there's more to love than just a HEA: it's dealing with life, and all its challenges, as a couple. So, SO glad that's what this series is evolving towards. Looking forward to the next book XD.

Because nothing says "true love" quite like moving the love of your life out of the way of your projectile vomit. Also, nothing says "friendship" quite like aiming that projectile vomit at one of your closest friends XD.

I don't know what it is about this one but I didn't love it like the rest of the series. I almost felt like it was a little too cheesy. I was really hoping to love it but instead it was just okay.
