    This book is different but very enjoyable. It calls attention to the plight of people who let someone else control their lives. It was slower then the first but I believe that Taylor Stevens is a good story teller. Hillary Huber is an excellent reader. I am waiting for the next Vanessa Michael Munroe book.

Born to missionary parents in lawless central Africa, Munroe took up with an infamous gunrunner and his mercenary crew when she was just fourteen. As his protégé, she earned the respect of the jungle's most dangerous men, cultivating her own reputation for years until something sent her running. After almost a decade building a new life and lucrative career from her home base in Dallas, she's never looked back. Until now....

    Ever since the death of his shellan, Tohrment has been unrecognizable from the vampire leader he once was. Physically emaciated and heartbroken beyond despair, he has been brought back to the Brotherhood by a self-serving fallen angel. Now, fighting once again with ruthless vengeance, he is unprepared to face a new kind of tragedy. When Tohr begins to see his beloved in his dreams - trapped in a cold, isolated netherworld far from the peace and tranquility of the Fade - he turns to the angel in hopes of saving the one he has lost.

    Where does Lover Reborn rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

    All of her books are the best the characters all have so many realistic problems. This is just one of may but Lover Mine is my all time favorite.


    What other book might you compare Lover Reborn to and why?

    Lover Awakened because they were both damaged in some way and fought hard not to be in love.


    What about Jim Frangione???s performance did you like?

    I love Jim!!

    Where does Lothaire rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

    This book ranks under all of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and all of the Carpathian books.
    Then there is Kresley but it is a excellent story and part of a good series. When they are all on audible I will buy them.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I dont have any one single character except maybe Nix.


    Have you listened to any of Robert Petkoff???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I love him!!


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Both

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.
