Lover Forbidden by J.R. Ward


In 2013, I picked up the first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Dark Lover. The first six books in the series specifically hold a very special place in my book-loving heart. Since those first six books, JR Ward has expanded her series, adding a collection and supporting cast of characters that feel like family.

Now, a new generation is taking the lead. Lover Forbidden has breached the past and the present. Something about it feels reminiscent of those first six books with the camaraderie and the getting-to-know-you’s.  It’s like a fresh new series, but with the comfort and guiding hands of those who have taken up the mantle before them, giving them a soft space to land.

I’m gonna let this emotion be my review. Simply because there is so much happening, and I don’t want to spoil a first reading experience for anyone. Especially the hard-core fans. You're gonna be blown away.

Below are a few favorite quotes without any context other than they made me happy.

“You’re safe”

“The future you want is waiting for you."

“Love is magic and everybody needs magic in their heart.”

The aristocracy is making a run for the throne in this latest thrilling, star-crossed paranormal romance entry in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

When Lyric goes out for the night, she’s not ready for a brush with death—and she’s really not ready for the male who comes out of nowhere and saves her. Her family, especially her father, Qhuinn, are so relieved she’s okay, but all she can think about is her mysterious savior.

Without telling anybody, she seeks out Devlin, and they are immediately drawn to one another. Her near-death experience has given her a fresh appreciation for life and the desire to live it to its fullest, but she has no idea that he’s hiding a secret—or that he could be the key to ending the war between the Black Dagger Brotherhood and the lessers forever.

Sylvia Day talks Crossfire books 4 & 5 and release dates

  "Okay, so there are lots of questions about the next book! That's wonderful and I'm thrilled that so many of you are looking forward to it. I'm so grateful for you all. I feel really blessed. My original contract with Penguin/Berkley was for three books. That's a pretty typical contract. In my ten years of writing/publishing, I've done contracts for one, two, and three books at a time, but never for more than three. Publishers don't want to invest too much at one time and authors don't want to get tied down too long, just in case things don't work out well and they decide to move on. Usually the publisher and author will negotiate for new books as soon as the last book in the contract is turned in so that pre-orders can go up and things can keep rolling forward. That didn't happen with Crossfire.That's why you don't see pre-orders up for Books 4 and 5. The delay was due, in part, to how contentious things got...
