I didn't feel the chemistry between Axe and his client Elise. Also, I have no interest in reading about a culture that has the ability to lock up women without their consent and no one seems to want to change it.

I didn't want to stop reading. Lots of action. Great world build. Awesome characters. I loved the main mc's, Axe & Elise. Not only does their story have passion and heat, but lots of suspense action. Then we have Mary and Rhage. They have decided to foster Bitty and make her Theirs. They both love and adore her. Theirs is a bitter-sweet story. But Bitty has a living blooded uncle. They don't know if he will take Bitty from them and they try to prepare themselves for the worst. On top of all that we get introduced to a new character. Ruhn. He definitely adds a lot of texture to the story. Plenty of suspense and action on virtually every page. Loved it! I had kind of given up on this series when it became Black Dagger Legacy, a continuation of Black Dagger Brotherhood, for a few reasons. The first and biggest was because I am not a fan of revisiting couples from other books who had already had their time in the spotlight and I would have liked to think of them as living happily ever after. I didn't want to think of them ever struggling or having relationship problems again. The only one I ever wanted to revisit was Assail and Sola who didn't get a happily ever after. The second reason is because I didn't know the new protagonists who were young and didn't have hundreds of years of tortured history like the Brothers had. They hadn't been around as background characters like the other protagonists had to build up my curiosity and anticipation about them. It was almost as if J.R. Ward had lost interest in this series and had thought about ending it so she didn't bother introducing these new guys before but then had to invent them to finish up the series. And the last reason I was giving up was because I didn't like having two couples sharing a book. I was really just waiting for Layla’s and Xcor’s story and I was going to quit the series. But I missed this series so I decided to give it another try. I read this book and am now invested in these new characters, the trainees into the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I didn't realize until after I finished the book and went to J.R. Ward’s website that this book was supposed to have been read before The Chosen. Oops! I immediately judged Axe to be a dickhole but changed my mind later as I empathized with his plight. He had a sad childhood. I liked Elise but she was a little too much of a goody goody for me. I also had a problem with the whole rich girl with a poor bad boy storyline because the last storyline between Craeg and Paradise was the exact same thing. Besides those things, the book was intense. There was one part in the book where I was so engrossed and tense that I didn't even know it until I got up and realized I had my muscles clenched. This is why J.R. Ward is still one of my favorite paranormal romance writers. no reviews | add a review

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • J. R. Ward returns with an all-new tale of paranormal passion in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. The Black Dagger Brotherhood continues to train the best of the best to join them in the deadly battle against the Lessening Society. Among the new recruits, Axe proves to be a cunning and vicious fighter—and also a loner isolated because of personal tragedy. When an aristocratic female needs a bodyguard, Axe takes the job, though he’s unprepared for the animal attraction that flares between him and the one he is sworn to protect. For Elise, who lost her first cousin to a grisly murder, Axe’s dangerous appeal is enticing—and possibly a distraction from her grief. But as they delve deeper into her cousin’s death, and their physical connection grows into so much more, Axe fears that the secrets he keeps and his tortured conscience will tear them apart. Rhage, the Brother with the biggest heart, knows all about self-punishing, and he wants to help Axe reach his full potential. But when an unexpected arrival threatens Rhage and Mary’s new family, he finds himself back in the trenches again, fighting against a destiny that will destroy all he holds most dear. As Axe’s past becomes known, and fate seems to be turning against Rhage, both males must reach deep—and pray that love, rather than anger, will be their lantern in the darkness. Praise for Blood Vow “Sharp, sexy, and funny.”—New York Journal of Books “Nonstop action, steamy sexual tension . . . and absorbing characters.”—BookPage “Packed with quietly gut-wrenching emotions, healing and sacrifice.”—Under the Covers Praise for J. R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series “Utterly absorbing.”—Angela Knight “To die for . . . I love this series!”—Suzanne Brockmann. No library descriptions found. |
