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.

A Truly Awesome series, !

If you could sum up Lover at Last in three words, what would they be?

totally mind blowing !

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lover at Last?

Quhinns induction into the Brotherhood !

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

He has one of the most expressive voices I have ever listened to ! You feel as if you are actually there in the story !

Any additional comments?

This is one the best series I have read to date, very well written. and very hard to put down,
after reading book 1 , nothing will stop you from reading the rest of the series,!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!

I have been waiting and waiting for the Quinn and Blaylock story to finally happen. Needless to say I was not disappointed! My heart has been ripped and shredded with the build up of these 2! This whole series and the brothers are so incredible. J.R. Ward is amazing at detail and Jim Frangione narrates this whole series with his deep voice and just makes the experience that much better!

Great Story!

Would you listen to Lover at Last again? Why?

Since reading the book, I have listened to it 3 times! Growth is growth and love is love. For me this story has it all. Admittedly, I was somewhat apprehensive about guy on guy action, but all of that is second or maybe third to the story. Ward does a great job of making you want to see these two come together.

What did you like best about this story?

The best about this story is how Ward weaves the main story with the inter mingling's of the stories of the others. She has a way of keeping you informed that life is happening around the main character story.

Have you listened to any of Jim Frangione’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I like Jim Frangione's performance. For me, his voice seems well suited for this series.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Ward makes you laugh and cry and cheer. A miracle happens and a strong love blooms.

Any additional comments?

While you can understand the book without reading the entire series. . . its oh so much better to read the series from the beginning. It allows you to grow with the brotherhood as they grow and evolve.

Blaylock and Quinn!!!

This book was a long time coming but well worth the wait. The reader is consistent in each story. So glad he has been the same one all the way through.

I love seeing Quinn finally accept himself and be open to all the love around him in the Brotherhood.,,his real family.

Storyline is great.

I’m glad they finally talked. It was long overdue. You could see it coming from like three books away. Nice subplots that. Have you looking forward to future installments.
