nothing but respect for MY kingfuck i love this series with my whole heartpain in the neck podcast episode 1, where we review the first half of dark lover!
You have got to be kidding me. What author names her main characters, the members of the incredibly dark and dangerous black dagger brotherhood of vampire warriors....*inhales* ...Wrath, Tohrment, Vishous, Rhage, Phury and Zsadist? And as if that isn't hilarious enough, Ward just doesn't get enough of superlatives to describe how extremely dangerous her vampires - a bunch of interchangeable Conans the Barbarian - actually are. Allow me to quote:"Rhage was a towering male, big, powerful, stronge...
I originally wrote this review in a more innocent time. A time, if you can imagine, when I was a lot less cynical and a lot more likely to give books a break.So I did the obligatory drool over the Black Dagger Brotherhood men whilst expressing frustration at the multiple POV's (SO MANY!). I complained about the content and nature of Wrath and Beth's relationship but let it slide because, hey it was just some light-hearted fun.A couple of years ago I was at my mother's house when a large, terrify...
UPDATE : Thanks for all friends and people who have like this review and commenting. Glad I can make you smile and laugh ^_^. Black Dagger Brotherhood is masterpiece, and it will always be =) My feeling right now : Allright, this is the first book that start my love for BDB series, and when I know this book will be translated a year ago (at February 2010), I'm excited!! Waiting 2-3 months later, no news... Waiting 2-3 next months later, still no news... And then at July, the publisher said tha...
*channeling Johnny Cash * "Six foot six he stood on the ground, he weighted 235 pounds But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by loooove." A few dear Goodreads-friends pressured me into reading this and I must say: I'm pleasantly surprised (3,5 stars). An interesting and unpredictable plot? Not really. Cliché? Very. Romance and sex? At times the romance was almost sappy and the sex was good but I actually had expected it to be hotter (it's quality people, not quantity!). But des...
"Wrath was six feet, six inches of pure terror dressed in leather. His hair was long and black, falling straight from a widow's peak. Wraparound sunglasses hid eyes that no one had ever seen revealed. Shoulders were twice the size of most males'. With a face that was both aristocratic and brutal, he looked like the king he was by birthright and the solider he'd become by destiny." *sigh*Fantastic start to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series! We get the world building, the awesome char
It's your fault.All you Goodreaders.I was sucked in by the high ratings for this series. And the fact that I couldn't go anywhere on GR without this little red paperback popping up and waving at me. 'Read me. Love me. I'm totally worth it' blah blaaahh.No. Where were the characters??? Seriously. Where were they? WHY were they?I could not for the life of me identify who was who and why they were there. And WHY did they fall in love? Are you, J.R.Ward, trying to sell me this idea of love-at-first-...
J R Ward’s BlackDaggerBrotherhood Series is beyond…............. I decided to read the entire series...yes again!!!!I AM BDBSESSED...I have always loved the first book in the series......my first intro into this amazing world, and Wrath & Beth's story has remained one of my favorites..It's liking going back home, visiting "people" that have become my friends. Beth is such a fabulous character - perfect queen material...“Whoa. Fangs. She had fangs.She leaned in, prodded them a little.
How to Write a Paranormal Romance Step One : Create a SueThis is a female lead that can either be a Mary Sue, a Jerk Sue or a Sympathetic Sue. Just an FYI, most writers go with a Mary, as the ideal of women remaining virgins until they find “The One” is allegedly still vastly appealing to the masses. I suggest creating a heroine that’s never even been attracted to a man before. It makes it seem more like it's fate when she meets the male lead and less like you’re trying to shove antiquated
Before I continue with my review, I just want to say this. I fricking love this series!I cannot express how much I love this series, this book was probably one of the reasons why I admire J.R.Ward so much. The series focuses on a society the "Black Dagger Brotherhood" of vampire warriors who live together and defend their race against de-souled humans called lessers.This series just had me wanting more and more. Literally, after finishing one book I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next, and...
Dark Lover is book one in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward. This is a book I’ve been saying for years that I wanted to read but just never took the plunge. So with a little urging from my friend, I finally did it! Wrath was waiting to welcome me into the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.Wrath is a pureblood vampire, the last of his line, the only pureblood left on the planet. He was the king and treated with reverence. Only he did not want this title. He felt himself unworth...
Picture of Wrath...Warning/GIF - Partial Nudity(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]Wrath - 6'6" - 270 lb Warrior Vampire - Raw male power - Intense - Aggressive - Tattooed - Deliciously erotic - Protective - Hard, ripped, well muscled body I am always intrigued with the pictures my GR friends add to their reviews. Wanting to get an image of Wrath in those leather pants, I visited photo bucket and this is what I found. While there are no leather pants, I thought he was perfect:) This is m...
I should have known by the summary that this book would suck ass, but alas, I was blinded by that s*xy sounding name, Wrath. Curse Ms. Ward for being intelligent enough to make that up. With a name like Wrath, I was expecting some sensual sinning to take place, but all I got was a blind, leather duster wearing vampire thug who introduces us to ridiculous supernatural turf wars, rap music, and the f bomb. Even worse, the supposed world of sensuality began as a cable guy fantasy gone wrong. This b...
5 Wrath's Leelan StarsFirst read 2014Reread March 23, 2017 SpoilersOMG I Love this book, this series and this Author! The Black Dagger Brotherhood is one of my top ten favorites series of- all- times. There is just something about this series that made me fall in love from book one. No matter how many times I read these stories they never get old. Dark Lover does an amazing job of laying out this new and exciting paranormal world. The Black Dagger Brotherhood world is a kick ass world filled...
God, so that's how the Black Dagger Brotherhood series starts out, huh? I am so bummed that I didn't start with this one. It only makes sense to read the series in order but at the time, I only had the sixth and seventh book on hand. Nevertheless, Dark Lover is as solid as ever.Wrath, my man. This dude is so fucking hot, it's insane. He's so arrogant and aggressive. He's possesive and passionate. He's the best King in my mind. And Beth, where do I even start with her? She is so strong, even from...
"Wanna ride?' another prostitute said, shaking her ass like it was a can of paint." I'M BEWILDERED. LITERALLY ASTONISHED. HOW CAN A BOOK THIS BAD BE SO WIDELY POPULAR ON GOODREADS? WHY IS NO ONE COMPLAINING? For those who haven't read this book, let me catch you up on the synopsis: some random cunt, with a basic name I can't remember, lives in some old town. She works a dull desk job--she's a journalist, I think? (I dunno. It's not important.) And she mostly spends her time at the police stat

This one is not going so well. I am getting sick of the these great fighters that remind me of want to be thugs with their slang and cars and rap music. But to redeem them she tosses in leather? Seriously if I hear bro, what's up and WTF one more time I'm through. Not to mention a blind hero who can smell how the heroine looks????? Anywho I give it 25 more pages. Oh did anyone else skip the parts of Mr. X I just can't stand them... No screw it I'm done.
I was disappointed by this book. From the description, it sounded more like dark fantasy, but in practice, it's more like a romance novel of the cheesiest variety, only replace the generic pirate/naughty lord/auto mechanic human hunk with a vampire hunk. The dialogue was overwrought, and the behavior of the man/men in question was extremely stereotypical when it wasn't extremely implausible (even given that we are theoretically talking about men of a different and non-existent-in-reality species...
Book one of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series...The Black Dagger Brotherhood is a group of vampires here to protect the vampire race. Wrath is the leader of this group- their king, by blood. Wrath was 6 feet, 9 inches of pure terror dressed in leather. Wrath is their King, but refuses to lead. He is a loner. A warrior. He doesn’t get too close to anyone. He has his band of brothers, but thats about it. When Wrath’s brother Darius asks him to help his only daughter (who is half human) wi
