Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author J. R. Ward returns with an all-new tale of paranormal passion in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood continues to train the best of the best to join them in the deadly battle against the Lessening Society. Among the new recruits, Axe proves to be a cunning and vicious fighter - and also a loner isolated because of personal tragedy. When an aristocratic female needs a bodyguard, Axe takes the job, though he's unprepared for the animal attraction that flares between him and the one he is sworn to protect.

For Elise, who lost her first cousin to a grisly murder, Axe's dangerous appeal is enticing - and possibly a distraction from her grief. But as they delve deeper into her cousin's death, and their physical connection grows into so much more, Axe fears that the secrets he keeps and his tortured conscience will tear them apart.

Rhage, the Brother with the biggest heart, knows all about self-punishing, and he wants to help Axe reach his full potential. But when an unexpected arrival threatens Rhage and Mary's new family, he finds himself back in the trenches again, fighting against a destiny that will destroy all he holds most dear.

As Axe's past becomes known, and fate seems to be turning against Rhage, both males must reach deep - and pray that love, rather than anger, will be their lantern in the darkness.

Good story, so-so narration.

Narration was like listening to a news caster or radio talk show host going over current events.

So heartfelt and as always, amazing.

So so good and beautiful, and sweet. The ending is the best, and I have I feeling we'll be seeing more of Ruhn. And more Lassiter lmao

JR Ward hit it out of the Park

ok I've been along for the ride the whole time from the very beginning to the new crew now the newest crew I have too admit not as dark as the John group by just as fierce and intense
These stories have more humor and I absolutely loved it. now I'm getting the book so it can get five stars as well. If you like these stories you'll live this but just like our recent Presidential election I'll not predict anything read it or listen for yourself. Thanks again Ms. Ward waiting on pins and needles for the next story.

Narration and story, perfect! 5stars.

J.R. Ward just keeps getting better and better and so does the heart and mad skills that Mr. Frangione puts into his performances. The continued story with Bitty, Rhage, and Mary was heartbreaking and heartwarming. The brothers all getting a mention or slight cameo was perfect, and Axe and Elise's story was sweet, super hot and sexy, and action packed as they each grew individually and together. Some moments of tears and self-reflection. Some fantastic laugh out louds with Lassiter and the gang. Just as great as The King and The Beast. I like her early stories and later stories. It was tough for a while in the middle of BDB when the men were so tortured or too mean and destructive (for me at least). These stories of late are harsh, but far more loving and filled with realistic happy endings. Well done, Ms. Ward. Well Done! Couldn't be happier, nor more entertained.
