Why we recommend it

The Black Dagger Brotherhood's most violent warrior and the female who can handle what he unleashes. Ward writes the dark paranormal at its most extreme edge — the unleashing is both the problem and the solution, and the love story formed in the aftermath is held together by the only person capable of withstanding it.
