He seems soothed by her presence. And she is oddly captivated by his.She will soon learn that he is Vishous - V for short - the smartest vampire in the Black Dagger Brotherhood. But his tortured past has left him avoiding intimacy. It is against V's nature to let anyone see his vulnerable side. Except Jane. He has the oddest sense that she understands.

I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this book being published. I have recently re-read the previous books in the series, and literally couldn't wait for this next installment.
And now, although I can't put my finger on the why, I can't really say I liked this book.
It's the story of Vishous, complete with all his weird practices. Maybe he's just not the tortured soul I've come to expect from JR Ward - he seems to be pretty much in control of his (love) life and I felt the female doctor picked out as the love interest was only brought in because it's a tried and tested formula. Although the relationship between V and Butch features quite heavily in the first few pages, it's then almost conveniently brushed aside.
I finished the book within 2 days and although I know there has to be a new slant on becoming immortal, I was disappointed with the ending, or maybe confused as to why JR Ward felt she had to go down that certain track.
I don't know.......maybe I'm just not V's biggest fan. Zsadist and Rhage were my absolute favourites, and maybe there's just no living up to 'em!!
I'd be interested to see if anyone names THIS book as their favourite, but my advice would be 'buy the book' - you'll need it to keep up to date with the newcomers.

There are 500 pages of Vishous story and I didn't really get what I needed from this romance novel. In the previous novels Vishous is portrayed as a smart ass, strong, bold and sure as hell of himself Brother but I couldn't find this all back when he finally takes center stage. His story starts with a shocker in his lineage department which immediately grabbed my attention and I snuggled on the couch for prime brotherhood reading time.
V has his destiny revealed and he's not in any way warming up to it. Still dealing with this he gets shot by a lesser and ending up in a human hospital finding a woman that makes him instantly growl: Mine. As Butch and Phury rescue him he demands that Dr. Jane is taken with him and arriving at his penthouse V doesn't really understand himself but is accepting the emotions he's feeling. V and Jane are discovering each other as Phury finds a darker side and John Matthew's journey continues. Still destiny will not be so easily discarded and for every joy there will a price of pain. Will V take control of his destiny or will he submit?
As I close this book I felt like I was blown away by a hurricane of chaotic storylines, though the novel is starting strong I couldn't relate to the romance of V and Jane. It was like they weren't given enough time and space to tell their story as strong, almost overbearing sub plotlines take away your attention and this left me detached. V and his preferences in the passion department was something that could have been more developed as this is such a defining part of his character. It is briefly mentioned in a scene with a female but as things got interesting J. R. Ward seems to back out on it.... Read more ›

Firstly, I admit that J.R Ward's doing well to stretch the series out and each time I've picked up the next book I was sure that it one be the one to let me down. Up to this point I was always thoroughly please to be proven wrong and have loved them all. That is until Lover Unbound. I agree with the previous readers comment in that there just wasn't enough heat in this one and it did leave me a little cold. The relationship wasn't as strong and was furrowing my brows as I put the book down, unsatisfied.
I was however, intrigued by the John Matthew's sub plot and of course Phury....!He is sounding fitter and fitter by the book. And will Thor make a reappearance?
Although it's only a 3 stars rating for this one and my lowest yet, it's still not enough to stop me ordering the next!!

Lover Unbound is the fifth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R.Ward. It follows Vishous who ends up in a human hospital following a Lesser attack. Instantly attracted to his surgeon, when the other members of the Brotherhood turn up to rescue him, he kidnaps her even though he knows he's committed to a future without her.
Whilst Lover Unbound is not my least favourite in the BDB series, I feel it's something of a mixed bag. It's also not a book I'd recommend if you haven't read the previous four books, as to get the most out of LU you need to be familiar with the back stories of the various characters.
Firstly there's a lot to like in this book. The story arcs of several characters are driven forward here. We spend a lot of page time with John Matthew, and find out how his friendship with Blay and Qhuinn is developing, also how Zsadist has taken on the role of mentor to him. We also learn a little more about Darius. We follow Phury's further downward spiral as he tries to deal with the fact that the woman he 'loves' can never be his and witness as he yet again sacrifices himself for someone else's happiness. We find out much more about the Scribe Virgin and the Chosen, and also about some of the history of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And I love how the Scribe Virgin now has someone who doesn't put her on a pedestal.
With all of the above happening we spend a lot less time with V and the heroine of the book, Jane. At the end of the book when I think back on the story, V and Jane's relationship doesn't pop out at me at all, it's all the other stuff I remember. I also think, if you removed Jane from the story it would still work.... Read more ›

Just gets better and better
V is dangerous. He's damaged, flawed - and gorgeous. It's a real page turner - you just can't stop yourself. Makes insomnia worthwhile
