Publisher's summary

The hottest collection of studs in romance” (New York Times best-selling author Angela Knight) returns as J. R. Ward brings together two of the most beloved people in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world - at last...

Qhuinn, son of no one, is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has found an identity as a brutal fighter in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another...

Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it’s about time: It seems Qhuinn has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young. It’s hard for Blay to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. And Qhuinn needs to come to terms with some dark things before he can move forward...

Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions, but as the battle over the race’s throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn learns the true meaning of courage, and two hearts meant to be together finally become one.

long time coming. exquisitely done. love these two boys together. wasn't sure were would get there in one piece.

Outstanding as always

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I don't know how she does it, but J.R. Ward out does herself with every additional book in this series. Wow.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My all time favorite in this series is Rhage, but in this book it is Blah. Blah has taken a lot of rejection from Quinn and it was nice that he finally received the love he deserve from both his parents and Quinn.

What does Jim Frangione bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings a great depth to this series. He brings a lot of how the characters feel and who they are through his narrations. Great with the male characters and brings strength to the female characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it is, but no I didn't. There is no way I could sit 23 hours straight and do nothing else, but the story was so good that the time just flew.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this series.

Ummmmmmm, Quinn and Blay. Ok, I like that future stotylines were incorporated to continue the series. But mostly, yeah, Quinn and Blay. I'm totally hetero but have been rooting for these two for a while now!

Which scene was your favorite?

When Quinn lost his virginity to Blay. It wasn't about the sex, it was about Quinn giving the only thing of value he had left to Blay.

Better than ever

What did you love best about Lover at Last?

FAN - FREAKING - TASTIC !!!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would and have recommended this series to friends. It deserves to be on the big screens I love it so much

What about Jim Frangione’s performance did you like?

The narrator did an excellent job. in previous books I loved his take on Quinn and Blay and I was not disappointed when they became the focus of the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to this book in one sitting and promptly went to the beginning to start again. I hardly got any sleep.

Blay and Quinn WOW!!!

This book made me laugh so much. "Excuse ME" (you will get it once you listen. I love the way this author intertwines all the characters. It's like a soap opera you never know which characters will be in the next book for this series.

Absolutely Love The Brotherhood

Where does Lover at Last rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Right up there with all the rest of the BDB books. I have listen to them all and have lost sleep with every single one of them. There is no good place to say " Okay, I'll stop here and pick back up tomorrow".

Who was your favorite character and why?

Love each and every one of the characters, can't pick a favorite.

What does Jim Frangione bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He just brings it to life. I think the voice he has given Wrath is just downright sexy. I'm certainly happy that he has narrated the entire series. Really throws me off when they change narrators after several book. I have a hard time getting through that book or being able to recommend it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The characters have been fleshed out so well that you can't help but get involved emotionally. Cry for Zsadist or Tohrment and Wellsie and the unborn young. Laugh at Butch and Vishous going on about the SOX. Root for Blay, that he finally gets what he wants and Qhuinn to man-up before it's too late.

Any additional comments?

I know "The King" is coming out in April 2014. I seriously hope this will not be the last. I loved the way each book was written to spotlight a different brother while still having enough of the rest in to keep the whole story going, but I'm worried we've covered them all and this will be the last installment. Maybe this one will introduce some new characters we just have to know.

Lover at Last: Qhuinn and Blay's Story!

Where does Lover at Last rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love this series read by Jim Frangione, he does an awesome job with all these books. so this book ranks in the top 10% of books I have listened to!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Qhuinn, and the way he has to realize what he truly wants out of his life and how he needs to go about getting it.

What does Jim Frangione bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

By listening to this book it made it seem more like I was there, because I had to concentrate and really listen, thus forming a relationship of sorts to the content of the book and Jim's reading of it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me feel happy and it made me feel so sad at times. I felt the pain both Blay and Qhuinn were feeling and felt frustrated with the characters at times!

Any additional comments?

This book was a great addition to the series and I really liked it!
