#1 New York Times bestselling
author J.R. Ward is heating things up this winter with a holiday novel
featuring some of her most iconic Black Dagger Brothers.
In this romantic and sexy addition
to the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series, a beloved
couple has everything arranged... until it all goes horribly wrong.
Blay and Qhuinn always intended to
do a proper mating ceremony, but life has a way of getting in the way. With a
pair of young, responsibilities to the King, and a grueling fighting schedule,
the two are exhausted and overwhelmed. When Qhuinn gives his male the proposal
of a lifetime, however, they are excited for their special night and more in
love than ever.
Everyone in the Black Dagger
Brotherhood’s mansion gets into the preparations, and the after party takes on
epic- and immortal- proportions when Lassiter forms the Party Planning
Committee. The celebrations promise to be all that the couple deserves... until
a Nor’easter land locks Caldwell in a fierce storm, and things go from
lighthearted to deadly dangerous.
Battling nature and responding to
emergencies, Blay and Qhuinn get separated, and when a catastrophic chain of
events puts one of their lives in jeopardy, the night they had so looked
forward could mean the end of everything...
My Thoughts
I am very on the fence for this one. While I loved Blay and
Qhuinn’s relationship in their original book, Lover at Last (#11 in this
very long series), The Chosen made Qhuinn into an abusive a$$. I’m
thinking about re-reading the entire series to see how I feel once I get back
into the world. But I don’t know. I’m just so disappointed with what Ward did
to my favorite characters. I stopped reading the books after what happened in The
Chosen, and that’s book #15. There are three more after that one, plus a
bunch of novellas. I just don’t know if it’s worth catching up. But, this one
is a Christmas special, so maybe I can just dive in? I’m so conflicted. *sigh*
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
Nice! I never read one of her books but know they're are wildly popular! Hope you enjoy this one!!
