As I slowly make my way through the series, I am both blessed and cursed to have the opinion of many former readers shared with me. It's truly amazing how varied likes & dislikes are on these books as the series progresses. I started Lover Reborn with the disappointment of some readers weighing heavy in my mind & heart. Would this be the BDB book that finally disappointed me? Would it make me fall out of favor with the series? I am so freakin' happy to shout NO from the rooftops!

It's truly amazing how varied likes & dislikes are on these books as the series progresses. I started Lover Reborn with the disappointment of some readers weighing heavy in my mind & heart. Would this be the BDB book that finally disappointed me? Would it make me fall out of favor with the series? I am so freakin' happy to shout NO from the rooftops! I loved this book just as I have each one that proceeded it! 5 stars is not enough! I laughed, cried, cursed, & stopped breathing a time or two while reading it. The romance is perfect, the love-making singed the pages, the suspense is off the charts, the relationships complicated, and as always, the many plot lines flawlessly woven into another magnificent, un*freakin'*believable story. Once again, I bow to you, J.R. Ward!

Lover Reborn is rich in character, relationship, & plot development. As always, Ward weaves characters & plotlines flawlessly, mingling backstories & the present. I won't try to rehash the story as it needs to be experienced without spoilers. I will say that Tohr has a long, hard road to recover from & accept the loss of his mate & unborn son. Watching his transformation unfold was painful & yet beautiful to see. Ward does an amazing job of peeling back the layers in such a way that I experienced Tohr's agony, heartache, & then guilt over "feeling" something for someone else in such a way that I swear I lived & breathed his pain. At the same time, we watch love bloom in No'One/Autumn - love that she never thought possible for her. We see her dare to reach out in love & compassion, dare to hope & dream, and finally, dare to stand up for herself and demand more. What a beautiful story to witness.

As always, many other storylines are advanced. There are some truly magnificent, touching scenes...Tohr & John, John & Xhex, Qhuinn & Blay...always pain, sometimes love. I'd be amiss to end without mentioning the angel, Lassiter. What an awesome addition as he plays counselor, motivator, ass-kicker, & brings some delightful, much needed humor to the story. Lover Reborn is a Page Burner...immediately upon finishing, I added it to my Favorites Shelf. A Must Read! And now, finally, on to Lover At Last!!
