Fresh Fiction Review

LOVER ETERNAL
J.R. Ward

Reviewed by Sheila Graves

Romance Paranormal | Paranormal

Rhage is a member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, a clan of warrior vampires who protect their race. Mary Luce is a human who has no one and nothing but her legal secretary job and her volunteer work at a suicide hotline. And she's sick -- very sick.

When Rhage accidentally meets Mary, he's smitten immediately, even though he's cursed with a beast he can't control inside himself that's triggered by pain or strong emotion. Determined to date her a time or two then wipe her memory, Rhage has his plans foiled when the two of them are attacked by the Lessening Society, an inhuman group whose sole purpose is the destruction of all vampires. Now Rhage must protect Mary from the society as a point of honor, even if it means going against the Brotherhood with a mortal.

I loved this Black Dagger Brotherhood installment! The characters and storyline follow seamlessly in the footsteps of the previous story, DARK LOVER. A great book to curl up with, whether winter is lingering or spring is in the air. LOVER ETERNAL is a winner -- a great read!

SUMMARY

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. Possessed by a deadly beast, Rhage is the most dangerous of the Black Dagger Brotherhood...

Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He’s the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover--for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Possessed by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.

Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships, is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant on Rhage’s protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. Her faith in miracles was lost years ago. But when Rhage’s intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves...
