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.

BDB never fail to entertain me

so glad V finally found love. and that Phury took his place as the primary.

great read

wow just great this was a great read I just started the series and I'm all in.

I love me some V!

Vishous… is just yummy. (coughs) Who said that? Oh yeah, I did. He is one loco mofo but OMG he is my number #3!! V is like the bionic man. He can crash you or light ya ass on fire. Who wouldn’t want that super power.. not to mention the fact that he can see shit coming. Well some of it. I am not sure him being clairvoyant is a helper as much as a pain in the ass. No one wants to see when their friends will die. Or how. At first, I’ll be honest the idea of him and butch getting together was what I was hoping for. (laughs) In this book we get to meet V’s mother. Though I was shocked as shit to find out it was. I was like no way man! But it explained so much. We got to learn a little more of V’s inner pain as well. (We got to see his demons so to speak.) Not everyone could or would have survived what he had as a young man. Really, a father that is a totally psycho, murder, rapist and so many more things is no one that should EVER be raising a child. The kid was fucked from the get go. I think V came out on the good end though. he was able to kill the men that were hurting him. He got away from the Bloodletter and found the Brotherhood. He is where he belongs. His destiny, or was it?

No, his mother. Her royal pain in the ass, wants him as Primale. In other words a man whore but she dresses it up. His harem awaits him. As he ponders this he is shot. Dying, his heart’s been hit. He was taken to a human hospital, as no one knows what is going on. Then.. Doc Jane pops up, saves his ass and when he sees her the first time. I mean really sees her it was like “Ello poppet”. You know there has to be drama, what’s a good book without it? Jane seemed to open him like a can of peaches and sort of molded him out of himself. It was great to see him finally start to really be himself. Not just be the angry, aggressive asshole. After it looks like things are on a good roll.. Jane is shot and dies. V is beyond broken. His mother though finally makes a move that we can appreciate. She brings Jane back to him. Not in a form I saw coming but it works. She has him, he has her and Wrath now has a full time Doctor for the Brotherhood. All in all it worked out for them all.

More Daggers More Brothers

Chapter identifications were way off on this one. Still a great book. Highly recommend the series.

Another good one!

Although I too wasn’t a huge fan of the ending for the couple I still enjoyed the book.. loved the back story of John and Phury & the fact that it wasn’t focused on the lessers as much.. like a lot of the other ppl I am not a big fan of the narrator he’s just so flat but besides that good book can’t wait to read the next!

Enjoyed!!

Ward and Frangione! The perfect combo. The Audible app says this is my 20+ time reading all 22 in this series!

Always surprising

Often when you read a series, one book may read like the others. But not so with J. R. Ward. The book may go in a certain direction, but never think you know what is going to happen. You will be surprised.

Great end of this book

This book has a beautiful ending. I was very surprised of the sacrifice but LOVE is infinite…

I’m hooked!

I love series and this one so far has not disappointed. I started with Darías, then went to the beginning. Loving the Brotherhood and the women in their life that are bringing about change for the good of their kind.

5 Lover Unbound Stars

So the fifth book is V and Jane and I loved this book just as much as the first time around.
Even knowing the surprises coming to me didn’t lessen this experience, not one iota.
V wants Butch but what I think is V wants what Butch has, happiness and love.

There is so much going on in this book I don’t want to give too much away because you really have to experience it.
Meeting and finding Jane is special and wonderful but with so much pain attached because he knows he can’t have what he wants. He already gave his word.

Jane was so happy with her choice to leave and start anew but then V came and changed everything for her. I loved her inner monologue it was funny and insightful.

These two together steam up the pages. I mean some of the most epic sex scenes I have ever read. We are talking holy HOT…
I loved getting to see more John Mathew! And all the changes he goes through. And Qhuinn and Blay how they really become a part of his posy?

Oh the tears…. The injustice! Then the sacrifice and the token of unwavering compassion. This book has everything you could want in a book. If you don’t know if you want to read Vishious’s book I am telling you READ IT! You won’t regret it.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*
