MMMMM WOW...

Of all the brothers I was most excited to see where John Matthew headed, I knew he loved Xhex and always knew her issues where going to be hard to bare, but darn if the young boy alone all his life knew the right moves, He is passionate, loving, strong and one of the kindest brothers, I thought Rev's was my favorite, but JM moved him over lol... This is a spellbounding series, long listening, action packed, nerve racking, sexy, I was sad when it was over, I felt I left my friends behind :(...

It powerful!!!! Jim Frangione voice is hipnotic, strong, soft, sexy,passionated, angry, and humble...
Thank you for a great series....

JR Ward is the best, and this book is one of her best. I love the narrator, he's perfect for this series.

I Loved Lover Mine

I have loved John Matthew since book one. I love this series. John has wanted Xhex since the first time he has met her. Lover Mine picks up a few weeks after Lover Avenged left off were Lash kidnapped Xhex in this book Lash has become sick and twisted and his Omega father has had enough of him. Lash is holding Xhex in a brownstone bound by a magical spell. She is trapped in a bedroom invisible to all except Lash. She is determined to fight him with everything she has in hopes of finding a way out or until the brotherhood finds her. Lash's purpose for abducting Xhex is vengeance. Xhex killed his lover and he plans to take his revenge on her slowly and painfully. But Xhex puts up a vicious fight and he finds himself falling for her in his sick sadistic way. John is hell bent on getting her back he realizes that he is in love with her. He is not sure if she is alive or dead but he is determined to bring her home one way or another. Know one knows his feelings for Xhex his boys has some idea, but he doesn't ask the brothers for help finding her. What I liked about this book was that John would do anything to get her back I also liked how the book went back to Xhex's birth and how Darius and Tohr helped her mother No'One which was later revealed, after she was taken by a sympathy and how after her birth her mother killed herself. The book also goes into the complicated relationship between Qhuinn and Blay they once had a bond of friendship since before their transition. But this relationship is complicated by Blay's feelings for Qhuinn that go far beyond friendship. He has come to terms with the fact that he is gay and he is in love with Qhuinn. Qhuinn has always been promiscuous even knowing on some level how hurtful it is for Blay. But, there may be reasons for why Qhuinn behaves the way he does. When Qhuinn's cousin Saxton asks Blay out on a date, Qhuinn's protectiveness toward Blay kicks into high gear, claiming he doesn't want Blay to be hurt by Saxton. In all honestly though, jealously is at the root of his behavior. I think that in some ways Qhuinn is confused he wants Blay and doesn't know how to tell him he's jealous and doesn't want him to be with anyone else at the same time he doesn't him. Blay for his part is tired of waiting sitting by watching Qhuinn the man whore stick anything moving but him so he decides it's time to move on. John also mends his relationship with Tohr, which I was glad Tohr has been following John making sure that he was safe. I am so glad that this book had a happy ending and I am looking forward to continuing this series although for some reason the next book isn't about one of the brother's which is making me a little iffy about.
