Less jumping around would make me happier. As soon as I get into one person’s scene, it switches to someone else. If I have any major complaint with this book, it’s that we get so many POVs about so many different things. I just don’t like how their story gets told in short bursts here and there. Not everyone gets to their happy ending easily, and it makes sense in this world for there to be bumpy roads. Last time it was V and Jane, and I wonder if each Brother will have his turn? I don’t like seeing previous couples in distress, but I can appreciate the realness it adds. There is also the side story with Xhex and John and their relationship woes. I haven’t figured out all my thoughts with that yet and probably won’t for awhile. I get that it’s part of what she has to work through, but it is a little harder to see Tohr falling in love with someone who can be that weak, especially after being with Wellsie, who was so strong. However, I hate how she just takes Tohr’s cruel words as her due. No’One is probably the one I like the most. I don’t know exactly what my problem is, but I could take them or leave them.

There is just something with Ward’s women that isn’t as strong as her men. I could connect with a character, finally! His grief, his attempt at moving on, it all feels very real to me. There’s never been a moment where I’m tired of him or wishing he would just talk normal (there needs to be a drinking game centered around ‘shitkickers’, seriously, I am so over that word). I’ve been looking forward to his book because he intrigues me, and he seems to stand apart from the other Brothers. I never could get who he is, which is understandable considering his journey. Tohrment especially has been just someone in the background. It’s always the books as a whole that drew me in, when usually I am all about the people.

With the exception of Qhuinn, but he hasn’t had much screen time. I like them all, but none of them have ever stood out to me. I just don’t care like I usually do with a favorite series. Up until now, I have never really connected with any of the characters.

I have to say that this is my favorite book in the series so far, which is great because the last one I wasn’t crazy about. Paranormal Romance published by NAL 27 Mar 12 Ash’s review of Lover Reborn (Black Dagger Brotherhood series book 10) by J.
