Critic reviews

"Erotic paranormals are ... frighteningly addictive." ( Publisher's Weekly)

Too Much Love for this Series

This is the TOP of any paranormal series ever written. Narration is perfect. The storyline is fantastic, I always keep coming back to re-visit the BDB. You must have them all. Everyone is excellent and worth every penny or credit. Simply the best!!!

Lover Enshrined

So this is a re-read and first time reviewing this book. The first go around I marked this as a 3 out of 5 Star’s well I have bumped it up to a 5 Star.
I think I would go back to a 4 Star after this reread (2018)

Phury may not be my favorite brother but he did step up to the plate for V even if he took his sweet time doing it.

What I liked about this book was not only that we get to see more of the Chosen but we get to see Cormia come into her own. She isn’t just a Chosen she is also a separate being and watching her grow throughout the book was really a great thing to see.

We also get to see John Matthew come into his own a little bit more. We see him interested in someone for the first time. I do love how Xhex senses his lust and how she tells him to say her name. Then he gets her back with his note. Love that!

Also, we get to see Tor a little and that’s awesome he is one of my most favorite brothers. As well as getting more Rev, he and I have the love-hate thing going on. I don’t like what his club stands for but I understand now why he is how he is. Can’t wait for the never few books.

Love Jim's narration he is the brotherhood in my opinion!

Poor narrator

Narrator makes this a poor book. I read this book previously and really enjoyed.

Uncover

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, if you are reading the series it will uncover and explain new characters.

If you’ve listened to books by J. R. Ward before, how does this one compare?

This book goes more into the other characters in the series. Giving you a taste of each one, but it did make me lust for more love scenes. This book was definitely not as much of a romance as the others.

Which scene was your favorite?

The teaser between Blay and Quinn

Any additional comments?

This book overall was good. It's uncovered new characters and answer questions about old characters. The Arthur prepares you for new series of books to come. But this book has less romance than the other books, leaving you for lusting for more romance.

enjoyed this book very much John Michael is one

narration on freak This is one of the best series I've ever read thank you

Good Read

What made the experience of listening to Lover Enshrined the most enjoyable?

I enjoy the Performance of the Reader. He makes it interesting and relatable.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I am reading the series and they all end with questions.

Wow!

In the beginning this was a very hard read for me. Where is the action? Eventually it started to pick up and then it was so good! I really like these brothers!

Great book

This book was great just like all the rest!! I know it might a few chapters to get into the series but I promise it's worth it!!

More about the community than Phury

Really enjoyed it, even though the story was a melting pot of everyone. Great background settings for future books

Bridge to more...

Well, this story is quite a ride. I have listened to it twice now. Upon my second listening, I realized the purpose of this book is to set up many stories to be realized later by the author (i.e. Rhvenge's story, Quinn and Blay's relationship, John and Xhex's story, Payne's story, and much more.). I would definitely dub this book as a "bridge." My only disappointment was that there was not a lot of time spent on Phury and Cormia. In the listening time that was given to the couple, Phury was able to iron out personal issues, as well as Cormia. However, the tone of this book was a lot different than previous books in this series.

If you are introducing yourself to the Black Dagger Brotherhood, this is NOT the book to begin your endeavors in this regard. I highly recommend you listen to Dark Lover and commence to the subsequent books in sequential order.

Happy Listening from Bona Fide Reflections!
