Even though this was a vampire-cliche-romance (with hot people and love at first sight) it wasn't hard or boring to read. I wouldn't call the sex-scenes hot, but they weren't 50shades of grey boring, they aren't even explicit so this isn't really erotica.

This is the one that started it all! I LOVE the Black Dagger Brotherhood and this book was the starting point! I plan on rereading the series this year and am so glad I get to revisit my favorite brothers!
