Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author J. R. Ward has blown away fans with her layered, tantalizing tales of sexy vampires and supernatural intrigue. In Lover Unbound, an immortal killer falls into the care - and possibly the arms - of a mortal surgeon. Suffering a horrific childhood as the son of a Bloodletter in his father's war camp, Vishous pledges death to members of the vampire-hunting Lessening Society. Vishous knows no love. He feels no emotion. He lives only to oppose the slayers. But after suffering a mortal wound, a human surgeon named Dr. Jane Whitcomb tends to him. Her ministrations, however, extend beyond his physical injury - and before long her tender hand has awakened feelings of pleasure that Vishous never dreamed existed.

redhat queen

Every time I read one book after another they get better and better. That is what is happening here. I can’t wait to to listen to the rest of this series.

excellent and I'm still enthralled

I love the narrator! he definitely brings the story to life. j r Ward is as equal and her series as Christine Feehan isn't hers! I can't seem to get enough.

Bravo! This is an amazing story.

I laughed and I cried. I could feel the pain, the love, the sorrow and the joy.

My favorite book of the BDB series!

I love the BDB series and this is by far my favorite book. Vishous' story will have you laughing, crying, yelling and begging for more! Don't worry, V will tell you when he wants you to beg, though. ;)

Better & Better

Keeps getting better with each new installment. More of the past comes to play with the future in understanding the characters lives. And how they mesh with the other brothers.
It won't disappoint.

Just as Good as Book 4! Can't wait for Book 6!

You Can Lose Track of Time In this Book And Series! Love the Way Jim Fragione does Each Character in a Diffrent Voice and Tone.. 5☆☆☆☆☆++++

BDB never fail to entertain me

so glad V finally found love. and that Phury took his place as the primary.

great read

wow just great this was a great read I just started the series and I'm all in.

I love me some V!

Vishous… is just yummy. (coughs) Who said that? Oh yeah, I did. He is one loco mofo but OMG he is my number #3!! V is like the bionic man. He can crash you or light ya ass on fire. Who wouldn’t want that super power.. not to mention the fact that he can see shit coming. Well some of it. I am not sure him being clairvoyant is a helper as much as a pain in the ass. No one wants to see when their friends will die. Or how. At first, I’ll be honest the idea of him and butch getting together was what I was hoping for. (laughs) In this book we get to meet V’s mother. Though I was shocked as shit to find out it was. I was like no way man! But it explained so much. We got to learn a little more of V’s inner pain as well. (We got to see his demons so to speak.) Not everyone could or would have survived what he had as a young man. Really, a father that is a totally psycho, murder, rapist and so many more things is no one that should EVER be raising a child. The kid was fucked from the get go. I think V came out on the good end though. he was able to kill the men that were hurting him. He got away from the Bloodletter and found the Brotherhood. He is where he belongs. His destiny, or was it?

No, his mother. Her royal pain in the ass, wants him as Primale. In other words a man whore but she dresses it up. His harem awaits him. As he ponders this he is shot. Dying, his heart’s been hit. He was taken to a human hospital, as no one knows what is going on. Then.. Doc Jane pops up, saves his ass and when he sees her the first time. I mean really sees her it was like “Ello poppet”. You know there has to be drama, what’s a good book without it? Jane seemed to open him like a can of peaches and sort of molded him out of himself. It was great to see him finally start to really be himself. Not just be the angry, aggressive asshole. After it looks like things are on a good roll.. Jane is shot and dies. V is beyond broken. His mother though finally makes a move that we can appreciate. She brings Jane back to him. Not in a form I saw coming but it works. She has him, he has her and Wrath now has a full time Doctor for the Brotherhood. All in all it worked out for them all.

More Daggers More Brothers

Chapter identifications were way off on this one. Still a great book. Highly recommend the series.
