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.

wow

The first book in the series is not the best but it gets better and this one is one of the best. V and butch are the best characters. I wish the author would make them sound their age but the stories are so amazing.

mispronunciation

Absolutely love this series and enjoy getting lost in my listening. For the first time in this entire series, I have a negative comment. Dear narrator: I am not sure why you have all of a sudden begun pronouncing words incorrectly. Words such as amphitheater and sympath having their p's anunciated as f's and pinged sounded as hinged instead of as dinged. It is my hope that in the next books in the series that I do not find myself cringing as common words are mispoken. Thank you for an otherwise vastly enjoyable experience.

Loved every minute!

V is definitely one of my favorite BDBs. The revelations kept coming all throughout the book, and each one peeled back more and more of V's many layers; it was pretty emotional stuff. I loved every minute of his tale, but that's nothing new because this series ROCKS!

Chapters are not correct

Loving the black dagger brotherhood series!!!

I will say the chapters do not match the book, there's actually 54 chapters, so I'm not sure if it didn't download correctly or what happened. all the chapters are there though, the audible is not missing anything, it just doesn't matched up to the book. it says there are only 30 chapters, but as you listen all 54 chapters are there plus the epilogue. It's just my ocd getting to me.

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.

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.
