Search - Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Bk 1)

The first book in J. R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, this book is the story of Wrath, vampire king. It sets up the story arcs that will continue throughout the series, and it is awesome. Ward's vampire mythology is original (hard to do nowadays with vamps), her men are hot and uber-alpha, her heroines are likeable and interesting. Love this book--well, love all her books, but start with this one, you won't regret it.

My sister recommended this book to me, but it sat in a desk draw for 6 months before I finally ran out of things to read and picked it up.

WOW!! FABULOUS!! The story line is unique, and the characters leap off the page. The dialogue keeps the story moving along and I finished this book quickly. The synopsis does not do justice to this story.

If you like Vampire/paranormal romances with Alpha males, you will Love this book. J.R. Ward has included excerpts from the books as well as interviews with the main characters on her web site, if you are waffling, check it out.

After having this series recommended to me for nearly a month by a friend, I finally managed to get my hands on "Dark Lover" from this website. It took me a short time to fly through this book and I loved every moment of it! It's dark, intense and perfectly sexy. I like to consider this book to be an R-rated version of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight".

Wrath is the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, a mysterious group of warrior vampires that roam amongst the living. When one of the brothers, Darius, is suddenly killed, Wrath is left with the knowledge that Darius had a daughter, Beth, who will soon be going through the change to become a vampire. As a last request to Darius, Wrath watches and guards Beth with the intention to help her through her transition when it comes. But of course, it's never that easy or uncomplicated. :D

I really loved this book. I am now on the 8th in the series and I love them all. I cannot put them down. It is a good change to read a book about vampires but not be reminded in every other paragraph that you are reading about vampires and what ever qualities that particular author has chosen for them to have, for example, the no sunlight thing, the feeding only on whatever, the eye color changes, etc., etc., etc. I love vampire books but get tired of all of the qualifications. These books have good stories and the author tells them well.

Great book! Loved the character pairings at the end. Everything worked out the way I'd hoped it would. Enjoyable read if you like paranormal romance books. Highly recommended!

I saw this book & grabbed it to read on my weekend off. WOW! I don't want to give anything away, but the chemistry between Wrath & Beth is HOT! I have already ordered the next 6 in the series. I would recommend this book to antone who enjoys Dark-paranormal romance.
