The Beloved

By: J.R. Ward

Narrated by: Jim Frangione

The daughter of a legend finds the love of a lifetime in this passionate, heart-wrenching installment in J.R. Ward’s #1New York Timesbestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Nalla, the blooded daughter of Zsadist, has led a sheltered life. Protected by her father and the Brotherhood, she is chafing against the walls of the very safety that has ensured her survival. One night, she gives in to her restlessness…and finds herself face-to-face with a male whose inner darkness rivals even that of her sire’s horrific origins.

Nate is a fighter with nothing to lose and nothing to live for. Tortured in a human lab as a young, then cursed with immortality, he is all vengeance and no purpose because he cares for no one—not even himself. The Brotherhood knows this all too well and following Nate’s deliberate violation of the cardinal rule in the war, they declare him a dangerous liability that must be dealt with.

When Nalla and Nate find themselves fighting side by side, daggers aren’t the only things that fly. A sizzling attraction is ignited, though Nalla knows her sire will never accept him—and on his side, Nate has made a secret bargain to end his own immortality. As the enemy closes in, and Nalla realizes she must choose between her mate and her sire, what starts with such passion may well end with eternal sorrow and no chance of a reunion—even in the Fade.

OMG Shuley

LW and Shuley together are hilarious. Pretty boy Shuley's story is a change I didn't see coming. On the whole, I love the look into the lives of the young and the changes 33 years brought to the lives of the Black Dagger Brothers. It's gonna be alright Fritz. Start cleaning the mansion.

Awesome

Great book to listen to. I really enjoyed it. And I would recommend it to anyone who loves JRWards books.

Outstanding!!!!

I love Zadist! Go figure I’d love Nala too! Female of worth finds her male of worth! Bravo to Ward for pulling off the best time jump. I’m so excited to see this new chapter of stories of all the younger characters and get updates of all our old favorites. I hope Ward brings in the characters from BDB legacy too in the future books.

the children are all grown up

So u would think after so many books that u would be bored with the series this isn't the case. I wasn't really sure how she was gonna be able to keep my attention with this new book but it happened. I'm extremely upset that I have to wait for the new book which I hope is Bitty and LW.

The kids are all grown up!

Epic! A little touch of all the brothers, a new love (actually two!) and a monster truck. What else can a girl ask for? Brilliant writing with humor and style, JR Ward knocked this book out of the park!!
