The Wait is Over or it it?

The wait is now over! This is J.R. Ward's 9th book of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series, and as an avid fan myself, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I thought it was not the best of her work but definitely enjoyable.

Payne and Manny, I was expecting more but it was more like a sweet appetizer. I saw them more as sweethearts, at times it would get a little cheesy. The relationship between Payne and Manny left me wanting more of them because they were overshadowed by the star couple in this book....who am I referring to?? None other than Jane and Vishous!!! and Butch too...

Oh My Gosh!...If this were Lover Unbound part II, I would give it 10/10 plus. You finally get to see these two character without any masks and boundaries. Their relationship gets so raw that for those of you that felt cheated for Vishous's HEA, now we understand the hows and whys of Jane being his everything. Of course Butch plays an important part, which we see how much those males also need each other.

Now the other couple I was hoping to get more info on was Blay/Qhuinn. Well it looks like we will have to stay tuned because the small tidbits that Ward provides us with, leaves them in the same situation or maybe worse off them when you begin the book.

Lastly, we at last introduced to a whole new cast of brothers that will definitely become the next novels that Ward will continue with, once all the originals have had their HEA. For me, I have so far only warmed up to one of them because we get the feel of who his character is. No, it is not Xcor I haven't warmed up to him just yet but Throe. I want to know more about their back story, which makes their introduction to the series a smooth transition.

Overall, I would I would definitely recom'd this book to all of Ward's fans and readers!! If not for Payne and Manny, then you can't miss it beause of Jane and Vishous!!
7+/10

Cold Outside...Steamy Inside ;)

Soo..
I'm writing from my lovely home in sunny San Diego....but its not so sunny. More like raining, gloomy and cold, and its been like this for the past three days! Now I know that most of you have experienced far worse weather, but once you get accustomed to San Diego weather, you're pretty much ruined for any other climate. So I was thrilled that I'd be able to catch up on some book reading!!
                                                                         
                                                                         HE VOWED HED COME FOR HER . . .
Murdered before he could wed Regin the Radiant, warlord Aidan the Fierce seeks his beloved through eternity, reborn again and again into new identities, yet with no memory of his past lives.

SHE AWAITS HIS RETURN . . .
When Regin encounters Declan Chase, a brutal Celtic soldier, she recognizes her proud warlord reincarnated. But Declan takes her captive, intending retribution against all immortals—unaware that he belongs to their world.

TO SATE A DESIRE MORE POWERFUL THAN DEATH . . .
Yet every reincarnation comes with a price, for Aidan is doomed to die when he remembers his past. To save herself from Declan’s torments, will Regin rekindle memories of the passion they once shared—even if it means once again losing the only man she could ever love?

I confess I love reading horror,mystery,Bio's and much more but I have a secret obesssion with romance. More specifically: Paranormal Romance. The Immortal After Dark Series by Kresely Cole are one of my favs that I anxiously wait and follow! Her newest addition Dreams of a Dark Warrior will leave you wanting more!!
This time the story follows Regin the Radiant and her beserker Declan Chase. Like all of her other books, there is action, suspense, mystery, angst, all revolving around the romance between the characters.  Once again the plot was very thrilling, you can't help but love the characters as they struggle with their situation but also with the impending war between immortals. I highly recommend this series!! 
So although it was cold and raining outside my house, I was very warm and satisfied with my choice of novel!!
Did I mention I finished it in one day..;)
On to my next source of Entertainment....
