Publisher's summary

The hot new novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood by the number-one New York Times best-selling author.

John Matthew has come a long way since he was found living among humans, his vampire nature unknown. Taken in by The Brotherhood, no one could guess what his true history was-or his true identity.

Xhex has long steeled herself against the attraction to John Matthew. Until fate intervenes and she discovers that love, like destiny, is inevitable.

Keep chilled: listen to more titles in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Loved the main story not the reality TV

Okay, I love these books. They have so much depth to them. So many paranormal stories are too soft and mushy. The gritty aspects of their lives and the sex is a big plus for me. As far as Lover Mine, I read many of the complaints on Amazon about the the multiple secondary stories and I agree they disrupt the main story here. Aside from that I loved the JM story. I thought it was really a great story about these two characters. I loved how JR Ward exposes their strengths and weaknesses. Really engrossing writing and storytelling. I felt she exposed more of the raw elements of each character and the ending although somewhat out of character for Xhex was satisfyingl. Can't wait to see how Quinn and Blaylock turns out. That secondary story was had a real emotional impact on the reader. All the anguish and torment that some go through when they realize they love someone of the same sex and don't know what to do about it.

I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood!

I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood series and the audio versions are awesome too. Jim Frangione does a great job bringing JR Ward's world of vampire warriors to life.

What a beautiful love story!

I’ve read many romances but this one is so perfect. A strong woman and man, both deeply scarred, yet they see in each other their missing parts and recognize what they have to sacrifice to be whole. Great performance just gets my heartstrings!

Overall, a good story

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

I've enjoyed the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, and enjoyed watching John Matthew's story develop in this sequel. To be honest, though, the constant sex is getting a bit boring, and I keep skipping over those sections to get to the rest of the story. It was interesting and titillating for the first few books, but by somewhere around book 4, I really was more interested in the stories than in the sexual exploits. I think the stories would be enhanced with more focus on events, actions, and interactions of characters outside of the bedroom.

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

This was a decent read, compared to the other books, although I felt like there was more focus on the sex than on truly developing the characters. The stories are starting to feel a bit thin, and like they're more about who is going to have sex with whom, rather than truly exploring the essence of the characters.
