Lover Eternal by J R Ward

Lover Eternal (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #2)

by J. R. Ward

A warrior with inner demons falls for a woman who could save his soul in this seductive novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Within the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Rhage is the warrior vampire with the strongest appetites. He’s the deadliest fighter, the most voracious lover, the quickest to act on his impulses. He’s also been cursed with two hundred years of hell. Possessed by a beast, he lives in fear of the times when his inner dragon comes out and he’s a danger to everyone around him.

Mary Luce has unwittingly found herself in the vampire world, and under Rhage’s protection. With her own life-threatening curse to bear, she’s not looking for love. Besides, she’s stopped believing in saving grace and miracles long ago. But when Rhage’s intense sexual attraction turns into emotional bonding, he knows he must have her for his mate. As their enemies close in, Mary finds herself praying for something she fears she’ll never have: life eternal with the one she loves.

I really enjoyed reading about Rhage and his beast. I think I enjoyed this one more then the first one in some aspects, it was a bit more entertaining. Some elements of Ward's writing are a bit annoying however, it seems she tends to over exaggerate and it's her own story so it comes off as stupid. If his fangs grew to the size of tiger's his mouth would be in pain to say the lease...I get it they grew bigger and they were scary but geeze don't make it sound corny.
