The fifth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Lover Unbound focusses on Vishous, and on Phury in lesser degree. Vishous is the smart brother, and he has a hand that cannot be touched or it'll kill you. Even compared to the other BDB books, Love Unbound was incredibly light on a plot. There were no lesser chapters (lessers are the mortal enemies of the vampires) and all of the conflict was based on character interactions. In my head the brothers look completely different, but that only increases my enjoyment of these books. Ms Ward knows how to toy with your emotions, and her love for her characters shines through at every page.

Lover Unbound gets bonus points for having a non-feminine female love interest, and for the awesome bromance between V and Butch.
