Publisher's summary

Number-one New York Times best-selling author J. R. Ward’s novels of the Black Dagger Brotherhood continue, as a vampire warrior crosses the line between life and death…and ventures into an erotic world of dark dreams and darker desires.

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. But because Lassiter tells him he must learn to love another to free his former mate, Tohr knows they are all doomed....

Except then a female with a shadowed history begins to get through to him. Against the backdrop of the raging war with the lessers, and with a new clan of vampires vying for the Blind King’s throne, Tohr struggles between the buried past and a very hot, passion-filled future.…But can his heart let go and set all of them free?

Critic reviews

“J.R. Ward's unique band of brothers is to die for. I love this series!” (New York Times best-selling author Suzanne Brockmann)

Only my 3rd time reading

I’ll never get tired of this series! It’s very long and not at all drawn out. Never a dull moment either! Xoxo

Rollercoaster of Emotions

This audiobook is full of emotional ups and downs. Marital separations, dealing with grief & death, Good vs Evil, and of course romance. This is an excellent series (Tip: start with Book 1. The addictive well written storyline continues to develop as you go in order.) Plenty of action suspense and humor. Not only is the storyline superb but the narrator is awesome as he brings us each book. Would want no other!Highly recommend! Only negative I have is I wish this Series would state which book it was in the series when giving titles (especially since this is a long series). It would make it much quicker to obtain the next.

Difficulty with Chosen -Spoiler

I am in the middle of listening to this book. But I still find chosen to be very ignorant very disappointed that Layla is feeding score he is who beat Quinn. She was very upset about. The fact that she had no reservations and doing so and all about her serving, I find disturbing if they are supposed to support the black dagger brothers, who we all know have mates but to support someone who went against seems very ignorant - they should know who all of the black dagger brothers are and the recruits so for her to give her blood to these soldiers if you will just seems very unrealistic or we're saying the chosen are that ignorant that they don't even know who the brothers are and who they shouldn't be supporting again it's just disappointing in my opinion when I finish the story. I may come in update but right now. It really Has me disliking the story or at least it's part of the story.

AWESOME!

Okay, so I bought the hard copy and read it yesterday, so I hole hardily recommend this book. One of the best in the serious! A must read....or listen as it maybe. Jim was amazing as usual! The WARDen did it again.

Another great book, but a little too long.

I love JR Ward and the narration is great. The story was a little too long and most of the book was focused on other characters. Definitely worth the credit though.

Awesome read

This book to me has been the best of this series so far.
What the main characters went through to finally be together makes you realize to not take anything in life for granted. I was crying by the book's end.

I love this one. could not put it down I hope the next three series are very good

Love this narrator!

What did you love best about Lover Reborn?

Tohr and No'one moving forward with their lives.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Qhuinn and Blay's story and I absolutely love Lassiter... he needs his own book.

What does Jim Frangione bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Everything! I am having a hard time listening to somebody else. Jim Frangione is so dynamic, I love listening to him.

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

Both

A SERIES YOU JUST CAN'T PUT DOWN

Would you listen to Lover Reborn again? Why?

Every book in this series I have listened to repeatedly.. J.R. Ward's style is raw,sarcastic, quit witted and in your face.. captures your attention from the very first chapter, and doesn't let go. Tohrment's story is no different.. A MUST READ for anyone who likes paranormal with real grit and great imagery.. pulls you into Caldwell and the world of the Brotherhood like insects to a bug zapper!

What did you like best about this story?

The journey, the fact that its told over a lengthy span of time and not one of those short novels; at nearly 600 pages you never want it to end: Tohrment's story has been one that those into this series have longed to get their hands on, at least in my opinion. After the loss of his beloved he was a wrecked man and in this story we see the man build himself back up from the loss and find love again. the trials and tribulations of John Matthew and Xhex as well as the building blocks that have been laid out for Blay and Quinn's story are just the bitter sweetness filling out what I feel is the most anticipated story in the Brotherhood.

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

Jim has a remarkable way of individualizing each and every character, he really brings them all to life.

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

J.R. Ward brings every emotion possible out of her readers. Its a roller coaster ride of joy, contentment, harsh reality, hatred, boisterous laughter, and great sadness to the point of sobbing.
