J. R. Ward

"When a brooding vampire warrior-in-training teams up with a quick-witted aristocrat to solve a deadly mystery, the only thing more dangerous than their mission is their undeniable attraction"--Goodreads.com.

Blood Vow

A new recruit to the Black Dagger Brotherhood's training program, Axe is a cunning and vicious fighter. But when he takes on a side job as a bodyguard, he's unprepared to battle the animal attraction that flares between him and the female aristocrat he is sworn to protect. For Elise, Axe's dangerously erotic appeal is enticing-and a balm for her grief after her cousin's horrific murder. But as their physical connection deepens, Axe fears the tortured secrets he keeps will tear them apart. Rhage, the Brother with the biggest heart, wants to help Axe realize his full potential. But when Rhage's family is unexpectedly threatened, he finds himself back in the trenches, fighting a destiny that will destroy all he holds dear. As Axe's past becomes known, and fate seems to trun against Rhage, both males must reach deep-and pray that love, not anger, will be their lantern in the darkness.

Brandie States

Not a surprise, yet another 5 star. This series is so addicting, fast paced, and easy to read. I love the world that J.R Ward has created, these characters feeling like family at this point. I have said this many times, but again, if you haven't read the Black Dagger Brotherhood series yet, please do! It is so worth reading, the books getting better and better with each addition. Highly recommend!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • J. R. Ward returns with an all-new tale of paranormal passion in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. The Black Dagger Brotherhood continues to train the best of the best to join them in the deadly battle against the Lessening Society. Among the new recruits, Axe proves to be a cunning and vicious fighter—and also a loner isolated because of personal tragedy. When an aristocratic female needs a bodyguard, Axe takes the job, though he’s unprepared for the animal attraction that flares between him and the one he is sworn to protect. For Elise, who lost her first cousin to a grisly murder, Axe’s dangerous appeal is enticing—and possibly a distraction from her grief. But as they delve deeper into her cousin’s death, and their physical connection grows into so much more, Axe fears that the secrets he keeps and his tortured conscience will tear them apart. Rhage, the Brother with the biggest heart, knows all about self-punishing, and he wants to help Axe reach his full potential. But when an unexpected arrival threatens Rhage and Mary’s new family, he finds himself back in the trenches again, fighting against a destiny that will destroy all he holds most dear. As Axe’s past becomes known, and fate seems to be turning against Rhage, both males must reach deep—and pray that love, rather than anger, will be their lantern in the darkness.

R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series “Utterly absorbing.”—Angela Knight “To die for . . . I love this series!”—Suzanne Brockmann
