Premier Paranormal Romance author J.R. Ward delves back
into Caldwell
and the Brotherhood's training centre to prepare for the
brewing war
between the Brothers and the Lessers. Their first task is
to recruit more
soldiers to help them in the war, but Paradise doesn't seem
like the most
promising prospect. At least not at first.
As the daughter to the King's First Advisor, Paradise has
lived a restricted
life
thus far but in joining the program, she hopes to prove
herself. However, a
distraction occurs in the form of another recruit by the
name of Craeg. Craeg
is from a completely different world and he knows Paradise
deserves
someone better than him. However, as much as he tries to
deny himself,
their chemistry slowly builds until it becomes impossible
to ignore.
Paradise and Craeg's romance builds in a believable way,
touching on all
things from class to other complications that may get in
the way of them
being able to train together. However, Ward explores this
beautifully, never
once rushing too fast or dragging it out for too long.
Paradise and Craeg's romance reminds me a lot of Butch and
Marissa's,
which is why Ward also dedicates half of this book to them.
LOVER REVEALED
also addressed some class issues, but in that case, Butch
was from the
human world before entering the Brotherhood. Their
storyline in BLOOD
KISS explores Marissa's honorable work at Safe Place and
some of what
Butch did in his human life. Ward does a fantastic job of
mirroring some of
the issues both couples are going through so it seemed very
natural to
see so much of Butch and Marissa in this book. For fans who
are worried
about what Ward will do to these older couples she is
revisiting, it's nothing
drastic that completely tears downs what she built in the
previous books.
She is simply exploring the rough patches every
relationship has.
BLOOD KISS is sure to cause mass hysteria in all of Ward's
BDB fans.
Bringing back the magic of the Brotherhood in all its
glory, I have no doubt
this series will be just as addicting as the Black
Dagger Brotherhood.
The legacy of the Black Dagger Brotherhood continues
in a spin-off series from the #1 New York Times
bestselling author…
Paradise, blooded daughter of the king’s First Advisor, is
ready to break free from the restrictive life of an
aristocratic female. Her strategy? Join the Black Dagger
Brotherhood’s training center program and learn to fight for
herself, think for herself...be herself. It’s a good plan,
until everything goes wrong. The schooling is unfathomably
difficult, the other recruits feel more like enemies than
allies, and it’s very clear that the Brother in charge,
Butch O’Neal, a.k.a. the Dhestroyer, is having
serious problems in his own life.
And that’s before she falls in love with a fellow classmate.
Craeg, a common civilian, is nothing her father would ever
want for her, but everything she could ask for in a male. As
an act of violence threatens to tear apart the entire
program, and the erotic pull between them grows
irresistible, Paradise is tested in ways she never
anticipated--and left wondering whether she’s strong enough
to claim her own power...on the field, and off.
