Fresh Fiction Review

LOVER ARISEN
J.R. Ward

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan
Posted April 2, 2022

Romance Paranormal | Fantasy Urban

Major game changers are happening in LOVER ARISEN, the latest Black Dagger Brotherhood book to come from J.R. Ward. Since one of the major story arcs has come to a close, Ward takes this opportunity to create new adventures and dangers for her well-loved characters, making this a book that you don’t want to miss.

If you’re new to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, I always suggest reading the books from the very beginning as this is a complex series that spans several books as well as several series. But if you’re like me and are a fan of Ward’s writing, you’ll come to appreciate the intricacy of her writing. There’s a lot to love when it comes to her unique, upbeat narration as well as her hotter-than-hell heroes.

This is Balthazar’s book and while I was interested in him in the beginning, I began to see him in a better light and fell for him hard by the end of this book. I also think the heroine, Erika, brought a fierceness to the book that I really loved. I’ve always been a fan of Ward’s style of heroine and Erika is no exception.

This book reminds me of why I fell in love with the Paranormal Romance genre. With lots of action, twists and turns, and of course, steaming-hot romance, LOVER ARISEN is a guaranteed good read!

SUMMARY

Possessed by the demon Devina, Balthazar is once again on the hunt for the Book of Spells—and fighting an undeniable attraction to a woman. As a thief, he has stolen a lot of things…but he never thought his heart would be taken by another. Especially not a human.As a homicide detective, Erika Saunders knows there is something otherworldly going on in Caldwell, New York. Mutilated bodies that cannot be explained are all over her case list—and then there are her nightmares in which she’s hunted by shadows and captivated by a mysterious man who is both a suspect and a savior.When Devina’s wish for true love is finally granted, Balthazar and Erika unwittingly become the gateway for the rebirth of an old enemy of the Brothers. Will the very thing that brings them together lead to the ultimate destruction of the Brotherhood? Or will they have to lose everything in order to save the race’s most sacred defenders?
