Dark Lover: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood | 
pickWhat can you do to present vampires in a different light… give them weakness and human issues… this first book provides a different view on vampires and it hits all the marks … a great way to start a series can‘t wait to read the next book
I read this years ago but I really liked it. I should restart this series and actually finish it.

In chapters 12 to 23 Beth goes to dinner with Butch. There are no sparks between them when he kisses her goodnight. However, Wrath see them and he is jealous. Butch arrests Wrath and takes him to the police intending to interrogate him. Things don't go well for Butch but Beth intervenes and asks Wrath not to kill him. Wrath talks Beth into going to Darius's house. Wrath forgets to wipe Butch's mind and he puts out

"Darius looked around the club, taking in the teeming, half naked bodies on the dance floor."
#BDBBuddyRead In the first eleven chapters the readers are introduced to all the major players and a few minor ones. Though the focus of this first book is Wrath and Beth. There is also a lot of world building in these initial chapters. The story opens with Darius revealing to Wrath he has a half breed daughter. Darius asks Wrath to see her through her transition. Not only is Wrath the king of the race but the only full bloodied vampire alive.
repost for @TheSpineView:
I hope everyone is ready to read, or reread, this series. The first book is Dark Lover. The book is 393 pages and 45 chapters with an epilogue. Roughly 1.5 chapters a day or 11.5 a week. I am planning to do a summary/questions at the end of each week. I am also thinking about giving away some swag after we finish the first book

June is right around the corner. I hope everyone is ready to read, or reread, this series. The first book is Dark Lover. It is the story of Beth and Wrath, the king of the race and the only full bloodied vampire alive. The book is 393 pages and 45 chapters with an epilogue. Roughly 1.5 chapters a day or 11.5 a week. I am planning to do a summary/questions at the end of each week to start and see how that works. I am also thinking about giving..
pickAfter reading Darius, I wanted to revisit the first book in the series to reacquaint myself with all the characters so I can finish the series. I have read as far as book 17. Enjoyed this just as much as the first time. Looking forward to TV series/movie. I read that filming starts this year. 5⭐️

so-soThis was just okay for me. I didn‘t love it but I didn‘t hate it either. And so many characters to keep up with!

pickMy results for the first 3 days of the #20in4 #readathon are all big beefy vampires! I haven‘t reviewed any yet, but I assume most of you are familiar with the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It‘s been hectic here, my 2yr old grandson had his leg broken whilst in the care of his moron father. Poor baby is one frustrated boy, especially considering he‘s a Tasmanian devil of an outside kid! #BookspinBingo #SeriesLove2023
pickSo I saw this book recommended for Vampire books. I knew nothing about it and it‘s kinda old. I also hate the cover. But I was hooked!! At first I didn‘t think the MC was going to be the male love interest, I don‘t know why. I loved all the characters and side characters. The second book doesn‘t have the best reviews, but I plan to read these when I need some quick reads! Though, it seems like the rest might be darker.
pickHow on earth is it possible to love something so much when it is so cheesy?? If you‘d read this series, you know what I‘m talking about! I adore these characters so much, even though they‘re much too macho and crass to be adorable. The world is fascinating with its vampire mythology and hierarchy. When I started rereading a couple of days ago, I knew I‘d enjoy the trip back to Caldwell, NY. But I didn‘t realize I‘d be THIS obsessed all over again.
Started this reread 24 hours ago when Hurricane Ian was coming, but not here yet. Right now, it‘s pouring rain outside and my shutters are making a lot of noise. I‘m settled in with Dark Lover, which I haven‘t read in years. Within two pages, I was right back in this world. I had forgotten how F-U-N these books are with all of the leather, the made-up words, and the shitkickers. I read this previously in 2011 and again in 2013. Still love it.
pickSo I keep picking a book up to read… then end up reading a kindle book instead… I really have to switch back to physical books 🤪📖🙌🏽… love this one so I‘m starting the next one even though I started a physical book … a while ago
pickDecided to work my way through this series again! Who‘s your favorite brother?? 😈

Todays pick is Dark Lover by J.R. Ward. It is the first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It is one of my favorite series! If you like vampires, paranormal, spice, action, and different romance tropes, check it out 😊
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Get out of your comfort zone I was told. FINE FINE FINE! Here is cheesy romance I am reading happy? See? I am 10 pages in….ok 25 pages…. Well shit. I will NOT get the second one (as I whisper more lies to myself). What have I done 🤦
pickLow pick.
Vampires, romance, 🌶️🌶️ + ⚔️ scenes, and a cliffhanger.
I'm off to read the next book.

About 75% in, I have questions. ⬇️
pickI didn‘t intend to finish this tonight, but I forgot to charge my watch before bed, so obviously I had to just keep listening. I‘d forgotten how much mythology and history was built into this series from the very beginning. I can honestly say that I fell in love with the Black Dagger Brotherhood all over again while reading this book. I can‘t wait to continue.

Started this last night/early this morning. This is a reread for me. I forgot how enthralling this book/series was. I‘ve been away for more than a decade. Back then there weren‘t audiobooks (and no one would have been able to afford them if they had). I have to say, of the 3 covers I‘ve seen for this book, all 3 would have been better than what they did with the audiobook. The audiobook cover is truly hideous. Why? I‘m just so curious as to why.
Lisa! Oh my my goodness, you are too generous! What a lovely Christmas box. This is amazing! Thank you so very much. I can‘t wait to dive into this world. I have all next week to read, so these will be at the top of my pile. And the name bookmark and fairy-book pin! And the journal and pens—you know me too well! Thank you so much my friend! ❤️🎄💚🥰😘
pickI decided to re-read this book because I liked it so much the first time. Supernatural romance at its finest. Not for the faint of heart - it‘s pretty racy. A brotherhood of warrior vampires must defend their race. Each book in the series introduces you to a brother and tells his story. Language and sex abound. This one is about Wrath, the reluctant Blind King. So good. Not scary, but if you like Anita Blake it might be for you.

This is my favourite paranormal series. I need to finish it. I think I am up to book 10.❤🖤🧛♂️
I am currently reading 'Dark Lover' by J.R. Ward, 'The Vampire's Seduction' by Raven Hart, and 'Guilty Pleasures' by Laurell K. Hamilton. I think I have a vampire smut addiction!!!
#sundayfunday @ozma.of.oz
🌞 The longest series I have completed is The Throne of Glass. Working on The Black Dagger Brotherhood series and The Argeneau series not sure which is longest.
🌞 Doesn't matter to me.
🌞 Also doesn't matter as long as the plot is good and there is plenty of character development.

Prompt: Macho
The warrior vampires of the Black Dagger Brotherhood are all macho. I'll take one! 😂
Wait, hold up, a Tex Mex buffet??? Tell me more about that!
I'm taking another shot at a "classic" paranormal romance for Fated Mates and now, in the first 10 minutes, I'm figuring out another reason I'm not drawn to them - there's a certain ugliness to a lot of mid-aughts fiction that puts me off. It's much easier to see in a movie, but all the leather and offhand mentions of screaming rap evokes it too. Not really for me! We'll see if I make it 13.5 hours...
#LovePrevails @Eggs
Prompt: Dark Love
bailedThis is all kinds of nope. The main male character is misogynist, cheats on his spouse, is violent, speaks degradingly about women, but it's okay because he's a vampire king? Yeah, no.
pickThis series has been recommended to me so many times and I finally gave it a chance. I‘m so in love with it and can‘t wait to read the next one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickRating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I tried reading this book in July of 2017 and hated it. I even dnfed it and with knowing Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout loving JR Ward, I decided let‘s give this series another try, but on audio. This time I actually enjoyed it. The instant love got to me again and I wasn‘t a huge fan of it, but the love story ended up being good. I had a little hard time getting into the writing.
