Publisher's summary

The hottest collection of studs in romance” (New York Times best-selling author Angela Knight) returns as J. R. Ward brings together two of the most beloved people in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world - at last...

Qhuinn, son of no one, is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has found an identity as a brutal fighter in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another...

Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it’s about time: It seems Qhuinn has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young. It’s hard for Blay to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. And Qhuinn needs to come to terms with some dark things before he can move forward...

Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions, but as the battle over the race’s throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn learns the true meaning of courage, and two hearts meant to be together finally become one.

Good read, a bit drawn out in places but enjoyed the story. Few characters I'm interested to read more about.

FINALLY!!!

Would you listen to Lover at Last again? Why?

I've listened to it twice already!! I had been waiting to read (hear) about Quinn & Blay's coming together that I was drawn to that storyline. I had to listen again to re-direct my focus to the overall book!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!!

Any additional comments?

I love this series!

Becoming Predictable

This series so far has been entertaining but I feel that it has become predictable.
I will still continue listening because I’m hoping it gets better.

Great series.... Great book!

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

Yes!

Any additional comments?

I loved the story, but the book ended very suddenly. It was a big buildup and then a very short ending. But the book is still great!

Quinn and Blade

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

Like all of J.R. Wards book, you are going to experience the full range of emotions. I laughed through most of the book. Of course, there were also many tears.

Any additional comments?

In many ways, this book provided closet to the interaction between Quinn and Blade. While I am not into M/M story lines, this book is good! It had the passion and excitement of all of J.R. Wards books. Blade and Quinn are very hot characters. In addition, the new supporting characters were wonderful. I am eager for the next book.

Outstanding!

Any additional comments?

I was looking forward to this story for a long time and it was wonderful! I love all the books of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, but this one was special. I was interested to see how the author would handle an exclusively gay story. At its heart, it's a love story, pure and simple, but with an erotic kick (like the other BDB books). If you're a first-time reader of this series, you might want to take them in order as I believe it makes them easier to follow. (Other story lines are woven into each book.) This is definitely a MUST HAVE!
