Pleasure for Payne

I actually liked this book we had a good intro to both the main characters. They are both new to the Brotherhood. Their relationship was teasing and tempting and forbidden. I would have liked to see more interaction between Payne and Vishous after all she did kill their father because of what he did to V. The V/Jane/Butch interaction was groundbreaking. We have to do something with our poor Quinn and Blay situation their hearts are breaking. The action between Xcor and Payne and the Band of Bastards is done well, it reminds us on how they all treat the Chosens and even if Payne is a warrior she is still a Chosen and respected by males of their kind. Manny being added is great Jane needs a friend and the BDB certainly can use another doctor.

More!

Another great installment in the series with (i hope) a promise of more to come. I think I'm also in love with Jim Frangione. He does a phenomenal job narrating this series! That coupled with the way Ward writes will always leave me coming back to the audio version to see "what's doing".

Wonderful Series

Would you listen to Lover Unleashed again? Why?

When the Blackdagger Brotherhood was recommended to me I thought I would not J.R. Ward's Fallen Angels series is very good. I expected it to be funnier after reading The Blackdagger Brotherhood, where the angel is hilarious.like it, based on title alone. I couldn't be more wrong! I instantly fell in love with the books!
