Dearest Ivie: A Novella Set in the Black Dagger World

By: J.R. Ward

Narrated by: Jim Frangione

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In an exclusive ebook novella set in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, J. R. Ward tells the story of a fiery couple . . . doomed by an undeniable passion.

Features a special preview of J. R. Ward’s upcoming Black Dagger Brotherhood novel, The Thief!

The last place Ivie expects to be approached by a devastatingly handsome male is in a crowded, smoky cigar bar rarely frequented by vampires—yet here he stands. Silas is flirtatious, gallant, and, above all, mysterious. Ivie is anything but. A nurse at the healer’s clinic and the daughter of a biker, Ivie is accustomed to speaking her mind. So she does. Since aristocrats rarely pick up females of her class, Ivie asks Silas just what kind of game he thinks he’s playing.

Despite her guarded exterior, Ivie surrenders to the fierce desire she feels for Silas. And yet, just as their courtship is heating up, he reveals that it cannot last, for he is bound to return to the Old Country. Their bond only deepens as they make the most of their precious time together. But when she learns the truth, Ivie must find a saving grace—before all is lost. . . .

LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!!

loved it! JR ward is amazing have read all black dagger brotherhood books. look forward to the next one..

JR Ward does not fail…

Hard to understand or comprehend how one person can encompass as much talent as Ms Ward…
Her fans are blessed and privileged the Joy Her Incredible mind offers and the life lessons “relearned” through her lovely pros.

I cried during the latter part of this story

because J R Ward drew me in as usual. I got my happy ending though.

Surprisingly awesome!

I was skeptical about any spin-off of BDB. I really wanted more! So well written! For a “short story” I was very impressed by how quickly I was attached to the characters. Well worth the read!

best book ever

I laughed I cried..I absolutely love this book. I've read and reread this book many times. Absolutely the best. This is by far my favorite. I want to thank J.R. Ward for writing this masterpiece

Amazing book

Extremely light how detailed this book was I like the fast pace and movement of this book the book continued to move forward and capturing all the little details for such a short novel I would highly would recommend

Great little novella

My only complaint was that there was no female narrator. The narrator did a nice job but I’d prefer a female narrator also.

I’m sorry!!

I’m sorry I didn’t listen to this sooner!!! What a beautiful story!! I love my dearest Ivie!!!!

love it

For a short story it was so good. Cry and laugh. But I loved all of it.

Loved it!

Beautiful love story! Silas and Ivie were terrific together. It was a pleasure to see Havers in a better light. I thoroughly enjoy reading stories about non-brotherhood characters. It enriches the entire series for me.
