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.

After finishing the first book ( [b:Dark Lover|42899|Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1)|J.R. Ward|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1429676285l/42899._SY75_.jpg|2158128] ) I went straight on to this one, didn't even wait. And let me tell you it was a journey.

It's been a while since my heart has been sqeeeeeeezed so hard, since I've cried so hard...since I've loved so much... This book really took me on a heck of a roller coaster! And it does not disappoint!

You CAN NOT MISS THIS BOOK! It gutted me to the core more than once, but it's beautiful.

Our heroine is so so strong...and in so much pain... and you feel EVERYTHING. And Rhage...my man... you pulled out all the stops.

Rhage has his...well... issues, as we saw in the first book. You see he shares his body with a terrible beast...blood thirsty, a being that literarily eats Lessers. Comp = gone.

But our dear Mr Hyde is somewhat of a conundrum. And as Mary says...he's kind of beautiful in his terrifying, I will eat you kind of way.

But fear not. The book is not going to only make your gut hurt. It's packed full of good action, we get more close and personal with several of the other Warriors and some Civilians as well.

Mr. X and Mr. O though...they've got plans...big plans... and they are moving into new territory and bringing out new methods.
