The first novel of J. R. Ward's New York Times best-selling Black Dagger Brotherhood series features a unique take on vampire lore and heavy doses of sensuality.

The vampire Darius fears for the life of his half-breed daughter, who is unaware of her unusual destiny. To oversee her transformation, Darius seeks help from Wrath, a dangerous loner and the world's only purebred vampire.

What did you love best about Dark Lover?

I wasn't right away hooked on this series but after the first book I was really wanting more and after the second and then the third I am so hooked. The third book is amazing and I am on 4 now.

Obsessed!

The is nothing like this out there in the vampire world. JR Ward has captured an entirely new world. The Warriors are funny, unique, sensational, strong, and fierce! They are an amazing group of men with the power of honor at their backs. Beth is uniquely strong herself. I feel for the loud of her father, Darius; but I know what is to come. The narrator isn't fabulous, but some of the sarcasm and humor comes through. I think I got more from reading it than hearing it.

Fantastic!
