  <default_description>In this &quot;frighteningly addictive&quot; paranormal romance saga, there's a war raging between vampires and their slayers.  Here are the stories of a secret band of brothers like no other--six vampire warriors, defenders of their race.  And now a dutiful twin must choose between two lives...

Fiercely loyal to the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Phury has sacrificed himself for the good of the race, becoming the male responsible for keeping the Brotherhood's bloodlines alive.  As Primale of the Chosen, he is obligated to father the sons and daughters who will ensure that the traditions of the race survive, and that there are warriors to fight those who want all vampires extinguished.

As his first mate, the Chosen Cormia wants to win not only his body but his heart for herself.  She is drawn to the noble responsibility behind the emotionally scarred male.  But Phury has never allowed himself to know pleasure or joy.  As the war with the Lessening Society grows grim, tragedy looms over the Brotherhood's mansion, and Phury must decide between duty and love...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Auntee, you were right.  This novel is unlike any other in the BDB series.  I would call it a major work of urban fantasy.  But not really a paranormal romance.  If you consider the romantic story of Phury and Cormia to be the main plot (because of the title), it only takes up about 15% of the book....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23993427">more...</a>]]></body>

It didn't focus so much on the romance between the H/H (Phury and Cormia), as the other books in the series did,  and at first I missed that.

    <body><![CDATA[There were several concurrent storylines in this book.  I counted seven.  I think it goes without saying that if you haven’t read the first five, don’t you dare start here because <em>nothing</em> will make sense.  <br/><br/>I’ve ordered the seven storylines from most to least prevalent, basing my de...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36636732">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Too many storylines, so little cramped space.  I think J.R. Ward spent so much time interweaving the various storylines that she let the main love story lapse.  This is supposed to be Phury/Corima's story and it ended up becoming a race to see how many characters she could cram into the book.

    <body><![CDATA[The series is taking an interesting direction further into urban fantasy, and while it might be a bit cluttered with subplots and supporting cast, I still really enjoyed it. Phury's drug addiction wore thin pretty quick (in the previous books, you don't get such a close-up as here), and the ditherin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24215825">more...</a>]]></body>

I read plenty of spoilers (again - I just can't help it) prior to actually receiving the book so I knew a lot of what was coming but was thrilled with each subplot and storyline anyway. Frankly I'm surprised by the number of haters over this book. Phury's stor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11110194">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My least favorite book of the series. There was just too much going on. I didn't like how Phury and Cormina's story consumed only 1/3 of the book and I didn't like how Ward put less romance into this book compared to her other books. <br/><br/>As far as the other stories, I think she did a good jo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45144921">more...</a>]]></body>
