Hopefully, JR Ward will stay on this track. The last few releases in this series had been full of angst and drama so I’m glad that this one is positively amazing but still has an emotional depth on it. It has a swoony romance, gripping plot, awesome action and a twist that will blow your mind! Plus, it’s Rhage’s book so you can bet your ass it’s humorous! I think the BDB that I loved is back. In fact, The Beast brought back my love for this series! But I am glad to say that my worry was for naught. I feel protective because their story in Lover Eternal is probably my second favorite book next to Lover Awakened. This is a continuation of Rhage and Mary’s story. Now, you see why I’m nervous about this one. Example is Vishous and Jane’s in Lover Unleashed, Yes, I’m still bitter about that and it actually ruined my opinion about V’s love to Jane permanently. I love their HEAs so I’m usually a bit pissed everytime their HEAs were messed with because well, this series is long so of course now and then we get to revisit the original couples. I fell in love with the Brothers and their shellans. Obviously that’s an exaggeration (or is it?) but you get what I’m saying. Why? Because JR Ward has a way of making a reader’s heart full and happy then ripping it, stomping on it and returning it back. I am a fan of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series but I got to admit that there have been few books in this series that made me want to throw my kindle across the room. But Mary is on a journey of her own, one that will either bring them closer together or cause a split that neither will recover from… After suffering mortal injury in battle, Rhage must reassess his priorities-and the answer, when it comes to him, rocks his world…and Mary’s. But Rhage can’t understand-or control-the panic and insecurity that plague him…Īnd that terrifies him-as well as distances him from his mate. Mary, his beloved shellan, is by his side and his King and his brothers are thriving. But as the Brotherhood readies for an all-out attack on them, one of their own fights a battle within himself…įor Rhage, the Brother with the biggest appetites, but also the biggest heart, life was supposed to be perfect-or at the very least, perfectly enjoyable. The slayers of the Lessening Society are stronger than ever, preying on human weakness to acquire more money, more weapons, more power.

After avoiding war with the Shadows, alliances have shifted and lines have been drawn. Nothing is as it used to be for the Black Dagger Brotherhood.
