Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood Series, #5
) by J.R. Ward
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other—six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now, the cold heart of a cunning predator will be warmed against its will…
Ruthless and brilliant, Vishous son of the Bloodletter possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a pretrans growing up in his father’s war camp, he was tormented and abused. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time - until a destiny he didn’t choose takes him into a future that cannot include her.
Here I am reviewing my 4th J.R. Ward book in a row. It just can’t be helped you must read this series in order and once you start the first you will want to read them all back-to-back. Lover Unbound is the 5th of this Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I have enjoyed every book in this series, so far! J.R. Ward is a very talented writter. But I do have a few issues with Lover Unbound. The first being the character Jane. When she is first introduced she is portrayed as being a strong and very independant, modern woman, totally 100% committed to her work as a surgeon. But she gave it all up, and so quickly. And because of what happened at the end of the book (major plot spoiler if I said anything) she fads into the background even more then past heroines of this series. I also think Jane and V’s story took a back burner to all the other sub-plots in this book. The 6th book is Lover Enshrined. It is Phury’s story. According to J.R. Ward’s website it is due to be released in June 2008.

I agree with you, and I can’t wait until Kathleen sees your review. We both felt the same. I wasn’t thrilled by that ending… not by a long shot. It was not fair to either of them, and the way I see it, they can’t have a normal relationship the way the rest of them can. *SPOILDER ALERT!* IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THIS BOOK, STOP READING THIS NOW!* It’s not like Jane’s even alive anymore. I wasn’t impressed with this ending at all. I’d been crying to boot, and the tears turned hotly furious. I sure hope Phury’s book puts me in a better mood! Butch is still my fave!
