Why we recommend it

The most anticipated Black Dagger Brotherhood book: a warrior who has survived things that should have unmade him, and the female who is the first thing since to make survival feel like something to sustain. Ward writes the paranormal romance with the awakening as the most earned in the series — the darkness here is specific and the love story that forms in it is the hardest and best in the BDB.
