Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author J. R. Ward has blown away fans with her layered, tantalizing tales of sexy vampires and supernatural intrigue. In Lover Unbound, an immortal killer falls into the care - and possibly the arms - of a mortal surgeon. Suffering a horrific childhood as the son of a Bloodletter in his father's war camp, Vishous pledges death to members of the vampire-hunting Lessening Society. Vishous knows no love. He feels no emotion. He lives only to oppose the slayers. But after suffering a mortal wound, a human surgeon named Dr. Jane Whitcomb tends to him. Her ministrations, however, extend beyond his physical injury - and before long her tender hand has awakened feelings of pleasure that Vishous never dreamed existed.

I love this series

Not only do I think this is the best series I have read but also the best series I have on audible.

supposedly optional title here

The narrator is improving. after having read these books in physical format and then listening to them being read it was absolutely cringing to listen to the narrator. he's got a great voice but his pronunciations and pauses are very unnerving. he is getting better however. he has fixed many mispronunciations of words. and that's a good thing. other than that I love Jr Ward and this series. you can't go wrong with these stories.

I just love the BDB series

Another one!
To truly enjoy this book you must start from book one and get to know these characters.

Vishous

This is one of my favorite in the series. At times, I was hopeful, sad, angry, then relieved. Each of these books reads different feelings, but this one is absolutely one of my favorites. Five gold stars.

What happened to Jim?

I've been listening to this series in order and it's been great 'till now. What happened to Jim Frangione? It sounds like him I guess but the story is being read COMPLETELY different than the first 4 books. This is the first time you can't tell which male is talking and half the time their pitch is raised to female status. That never happened in the other books. Even common recurring words are now pronounced differently. Sympath has become symphath as one example. Was this the first book he recorded and the reading evolved from here or is this a narrator bait and switch. It's confusing. It's a great book all in all but I hope the narration in the next books returns to the norm that caught my attention to start with.

Not very suspenseful

I enjoyed the other stories each prior story more than this one. It didn't have the excitement or suspense of the others before it.

Good read

WOW! This series just keeps getting better and better! Impatient to start the next one!

Lover Unbound

This is a great series to read. I highly recomend it to anyone who enjoy paranormal fiction.

Vishous & Jane

Like Z, its a miracle Vishous isn't the most deadly psychopath known to Vamp & man. Both their childhoods were tough & after their transition, life became one long nightmare. But to find out who your mother is, then find out your destiny is to do the last thing you'd ever want to do...like I said miracle. Then a seemingly reckless act brings him in contact with Jane, a human doctor with a mind like his. Everything is in chaos until the most selfless act from 2 of the most unexpected places brings peace to all .... but the 2 who sacrificed. I love the BDB!!

wonderful!

I am a huge fan of the BDB series. hearing it read aloud was just as exciting. I loved Jim's voice. he captured the nuances and the attitudes of the characters with perfection! I just wish the chapters would have lined up with the chapters in the book.
