This is not what I was expecting at all. It‘s a novella that stands completely on its own. There are no brothers in it. Wrath is mentioned, but we never see him. Doc Jane and Manny are in it, but that‘s has close as we get to the brotherhood. There are no lessers. There is no war. This is purely a romance set in the world of the BDB, and Havers‘s clinic.

GingerAntics I was happy to see the audiobook divided into chapters as opposed to random, 3-5 minute tracks. #jrward #BlackDaggerBrotherhood #DearestIvie 3y
GingerAntics @julesG if you‘re looking for a short, absolute fluff piece, you might enjoy this one. It was actually kind of sweet. 3y
julesG Thanks. I'm keeping it in mind. 3y

GingerAntics @julesG did you get to the part with Manny and Butch? 3y
julesG Nope. I'm still on my BDB break. Working my way through some ARCs. Will let you know when I get to it. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG I thought that was one of the books you‘d already read. Which was your last one? It was at the end of Lover Unleashed. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG you don‘t know about them being half brothers? That should have been in the book before the last book you read when you took your break. 3y
julesG Oh, erm, yes, I got that. Sorry, my mind's mush today. My last was 10, 3y
GingerAntics @julesG okay, because now they have a sister, too… but only V knows and because V and Jane are having relationship problems, he hasn‘t mentioned it to anyone. She‘s going to transition soon, I think. 3y

It‘s always interesting to find the dedication at the end of the book because the book is dedicated to the characters themselves.

Only 9 books left in the series as it stands right now. This and at least 2 others are novellas, so those three will be quick reads. This audiobook is only 4.5 hours long (and I listen at 2x speed, so I‘ll be done in 2 hours 15 minutes).

I want to say I love this book because I'm obsessed with the BDB universe; and I suppose I can blame my unenthusiastic pall towards it on the fact that none of my Brothers were in it. But honestly, I just think it was an ok novella that was sweet and entertaining, but didn't really have a lot of "umph" to it. I don't dislike it, I just was unaffected.

Side note: I'd take Ivie's dad any time and in any way, thank you very much! ?

Another excellent short in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. It hit me right in the feels 😭😭😭. I hope to see more of Silas & Ivie in the future as the original and the Legacy series continues.

theresidentromantic @CoverToCoverGirl @MiraMonroe I'm actually now really excited. Christine Feehan and Sherrilyn Kenyon and I have had a bit of a break up. I'd worried that I wouldn't really have a new paranormal romance series. Thanks!! 7y
Ronda @theresidentromantic Reading order is definitely imperative as said in the comments and the entire series is amazing ♥️ 7y
Ronda @CoverToCoverGirl ... My favourite series too and I also own the hardback books... they sit proudly on my top shelf 😁 7y
Ronda @MiraMonroe Totally agree!!! 😁 7y

To sleep or to read, that is the question! 😂 why does Amazon have to email me to remind me that my pre-order is available to download when I'm doing a back to back shift! 😭😭 #HospitalityProblems
