“Frighteningly addictive.The series earned Ward an Anne Rice–style following, deservedly so this entry should prove no less popular.” Now here’s a band ofīrothers who know how to show a girl a good time.” “Best new series I’ve read in years! Tautly written, Ward’s unique band of brothers is to die for. I loved Vishous, the developments we saw with the overall series.“J. LOVER UNBOUND was a romance that I devoured. Yes, I got what I wanted but nope, not happy. Honestly, this was almost a five star read for me, but the twist and how it was resolved left my coffee cold. With so many obstacles, Ward gutted me with a twist I didn’t see coming. Their banter, openness, and passion felt genuine and had me rooting for an HEA. She really got him, and the sex scenes were dark and sizzling hot. I adored Jane! The development of this relationship was crazy and the attraction between her and Vishous was intense. For me, LOVER UNBOUND was an emotional ride that takes the reader from laughter to pain to happiness. We didn’t see much of the lessers, although they sure as interfered and pissed me off.

I actually loved where this thread headed and want more. We get the perspective of a Chosen and spend time in the world of the Scribes. Viscous is injured and taken to a human hospital where he meets Dr. V meets his mommy…and oh boy! This thread interfered with our romance and shared how flawed even Gods are. I cried for the little boy, wept for the man and needed him to find happiness.Īs is typical, we get several story threads. If you though Z’s tale was dark and twisted wait until you learn V’s. It is hard to want another, and I wondered how Ward was going to play all this out. Vishous is struggling emotionally and I felt for him. Becuase of this and the connection to core characters, I recommend these only be read in order of release. While each book in the series features a brother and his fated mate, there is an overall ARC regarding the Brothers and Lessers. This tale was highly addictive from start to finish and while I wasn’t hundred percent happy with something, it delivered all of the feels and left me satisfied. I have been curious about “V’s” story since the beginning and Ward exposed all of his darkest thoughts and pain leaving me desperate for a happily ever after. LOVER UNBOUND by J.R Ward is the fifth novel in the wildly popular Black Dagger Brotherhood paranormal romance series.
