Description
“The hottest collection of studs in romance” (New York Times Bestselling Author Angela Knight) returns as J. R. Ward brings together two of the most beloved people in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world—at last....
Qhuinn, son of no one, is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has found an identity as a brutal fighter in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another....
Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it’s about time: it seems Qhuinn has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young. It’s hard for Blay to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. And Qhuinn needs to come to terms with some dark things before he can move forward…
Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions, but as the battle over the race’s throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn learns the true meaning of courage, and two hearts meant to be together finally become one.

Love Quinn(spoiler)
5By CindereliieI absolutely loved the storytelling of Assail and Marisol, Xcor and Layla, and Quinn and Blay. I’m happy I got an answer for that, but i felt I got whiplash at the end when they finally got together, it was too put together and childish for me. Lived happily ever after, this isn’t a fairytale… I loved that they added Quinn to the brotherhood, but I hope in the stories to follow it comes back with Xcor’s war, since he is fighting with the ‘law’Love it. Love them all.
5By arosentexas1Ugh this series....all the feels!Blay and Qhuinn, finally.
5By Josey86This was quite an adventure. It takes literally until the final pages of this book for Blay and Qhuinn to finally fess up and get together. It’s worth the wait, though. The trip to getting there isn’t bad either. So many little details about so many different characters; this is one of the longer books, but every page keeps you going toward that brilliant ending.Great read!
5By IslandbergIt makes me sad to see reviews downing this book over homosexuality. The lead up went over 10 books and with a description stating the fact that Blay and Quinn push through their boundaries... and people were still surprised??!! COME ON. I got the first book of the series on a whim and was instantly hooked. I’ve laughed hysterically, I’ve cried. Overall, it’s a great series. I wouldn’t ding this simply because males fall in love. I don’t think that’s fair. It took 10 books of warning to get to this point. Y’all should’ve known it was coming. All in all... Sexy, gripping, and down right good.Finally!
5By Yvette Br.Loved it! So glad my two guys got together! I think the progress of their relationship was spot on. They have gone through sooo much for the past 8 books plus Qhuinn's home life that he had to overcome. You can't have issues like this and expect them to be together in the first few chapters. I think their relationship progressed realistically and it means so much more bc of this wait instead of them saying sorry and being together in like ch. 5 lol loved the book, love JR Ward and can't wait until the next book! So many more stories got developed! Ready for more Trez and iAm!Disappointment
2By That there girlI love the Brothers and I look forward to the books, but this one was not up to par. It seemed forced. Reaching for a story line. She took the characters out of character. Broke Black dagger rules..... I am over the new love stories of added characters... Please start telling us what is going on with the "real" brothers that we fell in love with but never get to hear about anymore. This was truly boring. And stop adding everyone to the brotherhood.Loved it!
5By SicaMaeFantastic finish to a story that needed to be told!I hesitated to read this...
5By BLU IDBut you can't read an entire series, more then once I might add, and shy away from characters who you love just because it's gay. I kept avoiding the book, not sure I could handle this one. But my OCD got the best of me. I can't skip one in a series, the world might end. Besides, these are all my boys. Ward did the subject and the characters justice. In the end we can't help who we love, it just simply is. As soon as I started reading I was glad I did. Well done.I wrote her an email....
5By BittersweetloveaOne day I was staring at the ceiling thinking about the black dagger brotherhood books and a thought came to me! J. R Ward should do a book about Quinn and Blay. So I wrote her an email begging her to make this happen....to find out she already is. I was so excited for this book...who cares if it involves homosexuality... This book meet my expectations and it's one of my favorites. Still no book will ever beat Lover Awakened with Z and Bella.A little disappointed (warning: spoiler)
3By HisnhersnyoursWhen I found out the author finally was going to write Q & B's story I was so excited (Aside from Rhage, Butch & V's stories, this was the one I most looked forward to...something about forbidden & unrequited love that had me yearning for a happily ever after). It had been years since I read this series and I wanted to get reacquainted with the characters again so I reread all the books again, in like a WEEK! No small feat. I felt jipped. Not only was too much time spent on new characters, which we don't even get much resolution for those stories...just a set up for another book, but the all that rejection & pushing away by Blay and him just being "over it" was irritating. I had imagined an entirely different chain of events. I liked Saxton's character but having Blay so changed by another lover kind of takes away from the dynamic of what draws you into their story. I did however like that we got to see Qhuinn open up emotionally. I guess what I had hoped for was in previous books Qhuinn was like this sex god, so when I thought of Blay finally getting what he wanted I imagined Blay as the shy virgin type and Qhuinn as the strong possessive teacher type. But in this story it's almost the opposite. I would have liked it to end with an actual mating ceremony, not just a dance. Although, I do look forward to Trez & Selena and Assail & Sola's stories. And I'm really intrigued with Xcor & Layla...will they find their own happily ever after, cus it's hard to imagine, with him being the "enemy".Quin and Blay
5By Cuba93654Loved the book! It was about time these two got together.Great!!!
5By Marjorie DiegueShe did it again!!! Great book with a great twist!! Can't wait for the next ones!!!Awesome ❤
5By MizLocaLove the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series!!! 😊❤😍Lover At Last
5By Goal165Awesome great book. Please don't stop writing about The BDB. Could not put this book down.New BDB addict
5By angi465Just finished the whole series and now about to go back and read it again and bookmark my favorite parts. Loved this book! I'm not gay, but I loved seeing these two get together! Also loved that you didn't hold back on the sex just because it was two guys. Love love love them! My personal fave is Wrath so I'm so chomping at the bit for the next one! Girl, you can't write it fast enough! Now I know how my friends feel waiting for me to release my next chapters to them as I write. You are an inspiration and I love this series! Would love to see more on Lassiter. I so love a smartass! Great book, great series, great author! Bravo!Love these books!
4By EMTcassThis book didn't appeal to me as much as the others in the series because it was mainly focused on a gay relationship. I am by no means homophobic, and since I have read the entire series I'm very happy that this couple got together. Being as I am a heterosexual though, it just didn't appeal to me as much. That being said.... It was a fantastic story, as always. Can't wait for the next book!! Keep them coming!!!!I want more
5By fila29574This book was awesome. It was everything I expected and more! I can't wait for the next book. What will I do?Best book EVER!!!
5By Ali'iLoved this book. So utterly satisfying. Thank you JR Ward.-_- flat face
3By JMSANDMEI love the BDB series but this book fell a little flat. It seemed to have a lot of words as filler rather than purpose and left me looking for a better conclusion. As always, I look forward to the next story in the series. I am also a little disappointed by the price increase. There were 3 books I wanted to download, each being the same $14.99. I decided on Ward's book because I just knew I would not be disappointed with the purchase. :-(
