Was this Payne and Manny's "book" or was this Vishous and Jane's book... again?! We reviewed Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward Book 9 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood... and had A LOT of thoughts. 

Some major points we discussed: 

• Payne and Manny's relationship and the fact that he refuses to have sex with her when she repeatedly asks because "she doesn't know what she is doing" UGH
• The fact this book seemed to really be about Vishous
• Butch and Vishous!!
• Why the relationship between V & Jane made no sense in this book
• QUINN AND BLAY!!!!! - Quinn finally growing up.
• And the introduction to Xcor and the Band of Bastards... SPOILER: those fools know how to do the females right

AKA Rehvenge and Ehlena’s book

AKA McSteamy McSexy McFuckmenowplease talking dirty to a female of worth

There comes a time in every bad boy’s life in literature when he finds his soulmate and expresses his inner romantic self while wooing and sexing her up. And leaving us, the reading public, with feelings of intense longing, warm mushy happiness, and squeals of delight.

This was Rehvenge’s time! And good for Ehlena for not only being a wonderful female of worth on her own with her own agency but also for nabbing the sexy, mohawked motherfucker himself. As always, SO MUCH HAPPENED in this book, which was a great thing. Bridget, always a sucker for the feelz, was swimming in a soup of warm fuzzies and surprisingly, Shani jumped into the warm, romantic waters with her.
