Oh, the angst! Oh, the sex! Angst and sex…repeat. (Not that there is anything wrong with that).

I’ve enjoyed the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. While I am not a “rabid” fan, I’ve usually found this series to be a nice diversion from real life. The earlier books were addictive for me and I just couldn’t get enough. I mean, think about it, this is a series where the males are huge, muscled, and well-endowed. They take care of their women. It’s a no-brainer.

Lover Reborn was an OK read for me. It had its enjoyable moments but too often those moments were offset with angst. I understand that this book needed to be emotional and I’m OK with that but it was just a little too much for me.

Several things stood out for me while reading this book: First and foremost, Ms. Ward is very skilled at writing steamy love scenes. *fans self* They were very well done.
I fell in love with Lassiter in this book. Lassiter amused me and his role reminded me of those little cartoon angels on people’s shoulders. Lassiter was an angel with attitude and I loved how he helped Tohr.

The Band of Bastards made a nice addition to the cast of characters. Finally, the Black Dagger Brotherhood had a formidable opponent for the Brothers to battle. Not your sissy-baby-powder-scented-keystone-cop-zombie enemy; these guys were hard core. Can’t wait to see what the Band of Bastards will do in future books.

I was intrigued by Assail and I am curious to see what his story is and how he will fit into later books.

There were things about Lover Reborn that drove me crazy. There were too many characters, points of view, and story lines to keep track of. Some of the transitions were a little choppy, too. Some of the language and Wardisms were difficult to understand. I found myself rereading several passages. I also did not understand why a newly mated couple could have so many marital problems so early into their mating. John and Xhex suffered from too much angst that could have been easily rectified by a little communication.

Will I read the next book? Most probably, though not right away….

"Our future has come."

This is one sexy beast of a book! Of course one can never know what to expect from a great author mind such as J.R. Ward, which is why I went into this story without expectation and came away with so much more. The story is beautiful in its extremes and surprising in its sensuality and range of emotions. No longer do us loyal and faithful readers have to wallow around in our own In Between as we can now read the full force of J.R. Ward's bluntness where Tohr and a few o ...more

This is a series I follow. When a new book comes out I drop everything, including mom duties, to read it. So I might be a little biased in my review of Lover Reborn, but I can’t express enough that if you are a PNR fan you have got to read this series. Each book is about a different couple like most PNRs, but there is extensive world building throughout as well as multi book storylines. You can read each one as a stand-alone, but you will miss out on the beauty of these characters.

Ward NEVER disappoints! The only wish would be that she would put out the books a little faster...but that's ok totally worth the wait! However I do have to say the book I'm most waiting for is Blay & Qhuinn!!! Thay's the one I hope is next!!!

Hell of a good book. I love Tohr and I especially love catching up. That's my favorite thing about series like this. Each book gives you a chance to visit all of your favorite characters and see how their lives have turned out. Can't wait for Quinn and Blays book! ...more
