Description
Experience the start of J.R. Ward’s phenomenal #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
As the world’s only purebred vampire and the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who killed his parents centuries ago. But when his most trusted fighter is killed—orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate—Wrath must put down his dagger and usher the beautiful woman into another world.
Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn’t there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of the Brotherhood and blood frighten her. Yet his touch ignites a dawning new hunger—one that threatens to consume them both....

5By Kacie60Great love storyDark Lover by J.R. Ward
5By Lk in KansasThis is the first book in the series. Couldn’t put it down read it in one night. If I had the money I would buy all the rest. Love the concept. The vampires are totally different then the norm. Love the idea of the Brotherhood. The main couple are adorable. Can’t wait to see how their kingdom thrives.Dark Lover
5By MomakaNanaDark Lover is an Awesome read. I finished it in 1 day. I look forward to JR Wards next book.I love this series!!!
5By MyMydraDark Lover, is chronologically the first book of JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood Series. I started with Vishous’s book and another one I can’t remember now. anyways I was hooked before I even finished the book I was reading. I didn’t want the book to end. So, as soon as I was able to get to a library or the internet I searched for this series, and began reading Dark Lover so that I could go in order. If you like paranormal romance, that includes more than just steamy sex and the occasional violent scenes, then give this series a shot! I promise you won’t regret it. You will laugh, cry, bite your nails in suspense and you will slowly get to know the male vampire that the book is written about, for example Dark Lover is about the King of the Vampire race, Wrath, son of Wrath. Happy Reading!!!Fell in love with the Brotherhood all over again.
5By Josey86I’d forgotten how much mythology and history was built into this series from the very beginning. I can honestly say that I fell in love with the Black Dagger Brotherhood all over again while reading this book. I can’t wait to continue.Goooooooddd
4By babtwinI liked the book it was written well and very…hot… But a lot of the dialog and word choice was off. The way Brotherhood spoke sometimes seemed old and etiquette, and spoke handsomely but, other times it felt as though were speaking as teenagers saying totally, whatever, bro, like,etc. The author sometimes used the word thing(s) as descriptors which I thought was…interesting. Also, hopping into the 10th chapter I decided it was too many point of views being that the only real character development we saw was Beth and Wraths. Once I got to the 20th chapter I skipped everyone’s pov except for Butch, Beth, and Wrath, and didn’t miss anything of importance. If we really need a THIRD POV, Butch’s pov alone was perfect. We didn’t need Mr.x, Beth, Wrath, Havers, Marissa, Butch, and Jose’s pov. There was too much going on. She definitely had more room to show us more of Beth and Wrath, or even Butch and further develop characters instead of the quick “this isn’t right” inner battle the 2main characters had and then suddenly in on chapter it’s “but it feels right I guess I’ll give in” to push the story further. Other than that great story. Character development in the main characters were great for how short the book is and the development of the supporting charters was just enough for you to want to read another book to find out more about their story and how they developed. 4/5 or truly 4.5/5Not the best
2By nameforbookreviewI feel like this booked lacked character development , emotional description of the characters. It was fast moving but without some more details felt fragmented and hollow . Not interested in continuing series but out of sheer principle needed finish the book .One of my favorites.
