Lover Reborn
#1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward’s novels of
the Black Dagger Brotherhood continue as a vampire warrior crosses the
line between life and death… and ventures into an erotic world of dark
dreams and darker desires.
Ever since the death of his shellan, Tohrment has been unrecognizable from the vampire leader he once was.
Physically emaciated and heartbroken beyond despair, he has been brought back to the Brotherhood by a self-serving fallen angel. Now, fighting
once again with ruthless vengeance, he is unprepared to face a new kind
of tragedy.
When Tohr begins to see his beloved in his
dreams — trapped in a cold, isolated netherworld far from the peace and
tranquillity of the Fade — he turns to the angel in hopes of saving the
one he has lost. But because Lassiter tells him he must learn to love
another to free his former mate, Tohr knows they are all doomed...
Except then a female with a shadowed history begins to get through to him. Against the backdrop of the raging war with the lessers, and with a new clan of vampires vying for the Blind King’s throne, Tohr struggles between the buried past and a very hot, passion-filled
future… but can his heart let go and set all of them free?

J. R. Ward
Some writers create worlds; J. R. Ward builds empires of shadow and desire, where immortal warriors fight for love as fiercely as they battle their enemies. Best known for her Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Ward has transformed paranormal romance into something more—a pulse-pounding blend of dark fantasy, sizzling passion, and deeply human struggles, all wrapped in her unmistakable, razor-sharp prose.
Born Jessica Rowley Pell Bird, Ward was drawn to storytelling from an early age, her imagination fueled by gothic literature, sweeping epics, and the kind of brooding, tormented heroes that now dominate her books. Though she originally pursued a career in law, the call of fiction was irresistible. It wasn’t long before she abandoned legal briefs for manuscripts, pouring her love of complex characters and high-stakes drama into every page.

Book Reviews
I think a stricter editor is needed! Too long and too much repetition. But enjoyed it anyway :) Reading these makes you forget your own little problems as their problems are so much bigger and have so much more DRAMA! (And as I'm in a happy relationship I can't say I'm having these problems.)
