A Black Dagger Brotherhood Novella

De: J. R. Ward

Ever since the birth of his daughter, Nalla, Zsadist has been regressing further and further into the life he led before he met Bella, his beautiful shellan. He has been waking up in cold sweats due to nightmares from his past, hasn't made love to his wife, and won't hold his baby girl, for fear that he might hurt her. While Nalla's presence had consisted of only joy and excitement in first couple months of her life, now it seems to be driving the couple apart. Bella is afraid that she and Nalla just may need to leave her hellren.

But then Zsadist gets injured on a mission to fight the lessers and because he hasn't been feeding from Bella, almost loses his life. Could this near-death experience create the motivation to pull this couple back together? Or has the gap between them spanned too far for redemption?

Amazing Read, Amazing Story, Amazing Narrator

If you love the Black Dagger brothers and their ladies, this just adds to the life and times. Worth ever minute. Gives us another glimpse at the development of these stunning characters.

Emotional on every level

This quick story gives us the in between from when they found each other again in book 3 to the several months later at the end and is truly beautiful. Laughs and tears throughout and hugs your heart the whole way through.

Absolutely adore Z and Bella. Nalla too. I hope they get many more books to keep us up to date with Nalla. They need a big next. 😀

SHORT YES, BUT PACKED FULL O’ FEELS

I’ve devotedly followed the BDB since the very first book.. addicted to JR Ward’s unique style of narrative, her creative world-building, her dedicated alpha warrior heroes and strong independent heroines, their romantic yet difficult and very different struggles and the bloody war against the evil Omega and his Lessers. And they’re all long weighty multi-scened stories from multiple POV’s.. but this little story digs deep and touches your heart as Bella and Zsadist struggle with a broken relationship in crisis. The birth of their daughter Nalla has brought Z’s dark demons of being a hundred year blood slave back with crippling results. But, through this gifted author’s emotionally raw tale, Z’s near-death end-date after a battle with Lessers, gets him back on track to seek the help, love and support that heals his physically and emotionally tortured mind, body and soul before it’s too late. And what shines throughout is love.. love for his chosen mate, love for her tortured mate and love for their new baby daughter Nalla and, as the pieces are skilfully put back solid, a father lovingly holds his baby for the first time. Jim Frangione IS the talented voice of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and I truly can’t imagine anyone else bringing these loveable dominant vampire warriors and their rollercoaster stories to life. WORTH A CREDIT? Emotionally intense, heartbreaking, heartwarming, sensual, uplifting, beautiful, passionate, pure, compelling and YES, IMO, definitely creditworthy.

Great Short Book to Learn about Z

Great stepping stone book to get the full background of Z's journey as a new father and getting past, his past.

Black Dagger Brotherhood

Loved this book!! I love every BDB book that has come out. Even the side stories are amazing. the only one I struggled with is the one with Angel s in it but I didn't give up and it really paid off. Got to know a new main character, Devina. Can't wait to see what she is going to do. so I would read that series in order of the BDB. Just look up the reading order. Anything relating to Zsadist and Bella is great!!!!!

Can't Get Enough!

Zsadist is by far my favorite character in the BDB world. I love that Z got a little more of a story with Father Mine. I couldn't stop listening; every spare moment I had was spent with this audiobook. I can't wait to see snippets of Z, Bella, and Nalla together as the BDB series continues!
