Lover Eternal: Number 2 in series (Black Dagger Brotherhood)

Product Information

But the end! Oh the end made me love him, what he did was just... Beautiful! I cried at that part, it was so emotional <3 CW: Do you hate me, my love? That I was forced to destroy your living form, that your spirit be released from unhappy bondage?

God, those eyes of his were gleaming again. So blue, so bright, the color endless, like the sea. An ocean to swim in. To drown in. To die in.

Success!

Oh but the poor dear "hated have sex with the other woman" key note here, he hated it so much HE WENT THROUGH WITH IT and if he hated it & the girl why did she turn him on so that he COULD finish with her. Yeah ok Mary if you buy that than you're a dumbass loser. But he isn’t just another pretty face. He lives with a curse and the only way to keep it in line is through fighting and sex. As his story unfolds, you get to see the real man with all the emotional despair, his unhappiness and his unfulfilled desires. And while strong and deadly, the tenderness he has for Mary is beyond description! V’s diamond eyes, usually so calm, were narrow and pissed off. “When I say I’m never wrong, I’m not on an ego trip. Seeing the future is a goddamned curse, my brother. You think I like knowing how everyone’s going to die?”

If possible, I think I enjoyed this book more than the first. This was a darker read that kept my emotions all over the place! I also got a better glimpse into the amazing talent of this author. She took me into the world of two very lonely people, both suffering deeply, and created an amazing tender, poignant love story. Added to this I learned more about the other brothers, was introduced to new characters and left me with an intense desire to immediately begin the next installment. Anyway, after reading this book again.....I love it just as much if not more than before. Rhage...what a gorgeous man..........I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM..... Ward's Fallen Angels series is set in the same universe, and has some overlap in characters, but little overlap in story lines. It takes place earlier than the main series. Lover Eternal the 2nd book in the BDB series is Rhage and Mary's book and a total 5 star hit for me! It was just as awesome as book one maybe a bit more awesome because there was so much Z in it and I am head over heels for Z! I don't know what it is about this series but each book just grabs me by the feels. Rhage and Mary's love was an angst filled journey to HEA. But it was so good all I could do was hold on for the roller coaster of love.The story - I loved the Rhage/Mary romance. Loved! It was very emotional and beautiful, most of all, very HOT indeed :D This is also a very important book, because Bella meets Zsadist for the first time (HOT!) and mute and scrawny John Matthew is introduced to the brotherhood (SWEET!). Mary Luce has unwittingly found herself in the vampire world, and under Rhage’s protection. With her own life-threatening curse to bear, she’s not looking for love. Besides, she’s stopped believing in saving grace and miracles long ago. But when Rhage’s intense sexual attraction turns into emotional bonding, he knows he must have her for his mate. As their enemies close in, Mary finds herself praying for something she fears she’ll never have: life eternal with the one she loves. After meeting a boy who looks to be a pretransitioned vampire, Bella decides to take him to the Brotherhood, along with her neighbor Mary, who knows the kid and can translate for him. The kid, John Matthew, is mute, and doesn't know anything about himself or his parents, and is practically living on the streets. Mary wants to help him, so she agrees to go with him to the "training facility", not knowing it is in fact the Brotherhood's safe house. The most awesome thing was that the sex scenes weren't cut off right when they were about to do it (which was annoying the SHIT OUTTA me in book 1). Lover Eternal was definitely much hotter from the previous book...
