I love thisOne of my fav couples in this series.And yes...I will read this book again...and again!!!!2nd ReviewRereading due to my BDB SERIES CRAZE.....each waki...

Considering how late to the BDB party I am, I'm not going to write a review on this book. This is just a "collection of my random thoughts" so I can keep the story straight in my mind, and therefore it's bound to be full of spoilers. If you haven't read this book yet and don't like being spoiled, stop reading this "review" now. I'm not kidding!Okay, here I go...When I finished Lover Awakened, the previous book in the series, I didn't feel much compelled to keep going with the BDB books. I me

5 STARS, TRUE? "What if I told you I had a fantasy" ... Opening line of this book, and opening line of my review. Yes you guessed it, my book fantasy stopped right here with the black dagger boys, and I am still on the biggest book roll ever with this series. The five star fun run hasn't stopped yet, and my prediction is that it may not ever.So now that I'm an established BDB fan, what did this book have to offer you may well ask ... Well it certainly pushed my 5 star rating buttons and I have...

4.5 Butch The Dhestroyer Stars SpoilersFirst read 2014Reread 3/28/2017When I lie this close to you, when I smell your scent, when I hear your voice, I know everything that matters." She looked down the length of him. "You are the male I want to mate with. That's who you are."-Marissa J.R. Ward did it again. Lover Revealed is another riveting book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series. It has it all, a bumpy but beautiful love story, a damaged hero finding his way, a naive sheltered heroine

I'm more than a little embarassed to say that it took four whole 500+ page books of this series to get me to see them for what they really are. It was mr sweet, troubled loner (Zsadist) that screwed with my head and had me hoping this series would blow my mind in a similar way to the Fever series (I know how surprised you must be seeing as I rarely mention Mac Lane, Barrons or Karen Marie Moning ¬_¬ ).I'll just explain what I mean by the Zsadist thingy. So I read Dark Lover and really liked it,

Butch and Marissa "Marissa. I am called Marissa.""Butch." He touched his broad chest. "Er... Brian. O'Neal. People call me Butch, though."He stuck his hand out. Then retracted it, rubbed it vigorously on his pant leg, and offered it again.She lost her nerve. Touching him was too much, and she took a step back.He dropped his hand slowly, not looking at all surprised that she'd rejected him.And still, he stared.(From Dark Lover) Butch and Marissa met in the first book of the series. Butch fell...

A ton of manufactured drama, but still fun for an over the top Paranormal Romance. All could have been much easier on the characters if they only spoke to each other in complete sentences! All of their internal and perceived inadequacies stopped them from actually communicating and listening to each other, which lead to most of the drama... But, the overreaching arc is still a draw for the series 😈😀!

"United by their clasped hands, they became again the two halves, the light and the dark. The Destroyer and the Savior. A whole." I admit, the first time I read this book I gave it 4 stars. But after my re-read, I loved it so much that I had to change my rating to 5. Just an awesome book :)The storyButch is getting sick and tired of being on the outside when it came to the Brotherhood, and he jumps in the opportunity to save a civilian from the lessers.That only gets him taken by the

“Don't think I was the only reason he healed. You're his light, Marissa. Don't ever forget that.” Honestly, I hadn't set my hope that high before I read like the first two books. But Lover Revealed had proved me wrong. Marissa isn't a character I am very fond of; she's quite annoying, weak and not important to be the MC of this book. But J.R. Ward proved herself again that her works always have development. She molded her characters in each book thoroughly until they're ready to get their ow

I LOVE Butch! He's one of my favourite Brothers, along with Rhage and V. Especially, when they are all together and joking around. Even as a human, this dude can kick some serious ass. He's such a tough guy, known as the hard-ass for a reason. But there is also this charming, sweet side to him as well. Butch definitely has what it takes to run with the vampires!I loved Marissa as well. I felt so bad for her in Dark Lover. She is so innocent and pure, yet all these terrible things happen to her....

Lover Revealed was a decent book. It doesn't have the intensity Lover Awakened had, but afterall: Butch isn't Zsadist.Don't get me wrong: I love Butch. And I liked Marissa. And I luuuved Butch and V. Actually I was wishing for a Marissa/Butch/Vishous menage but alas :( Still: enjoyed it. A lot. 4 stars.

This was the 4th book in The Black Dagger Brotherhood and the story focused on Butch and Marissa. I think it could be subtitled I Know Why the Caged Pet Sings - primarily because Butch has pampered pet syndrome and Marissa has sort of the same thing going on with her sudden ejection from the glymera. Here is my shortened version of the book:Butch: “My name is Butch and I feel like a cheap whore wearing clothes I didn’t buy and not paying rent and having no purpose in my life. My birth family hat...

There are so many images of Butch that I want to put in but I will stick with this sexy guy Sometimes fate takes you in fucked-up directions I didn’t like when Butch turned all GQ on me. Is that even an expression, “GQ” - you know what I mean, designer suits, cufflinks (although maybe the cufflinks would work). I wanted him in faded, jeans, tight t-shirts and scruffy boots. Naked would be good too! "Why are you doing this? You're just human-""I am so sick of hearing that. Leave!" Butch, an e...

“Now the new era in the war begins.” Lover Revealed is the 4th book of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, the story of Butch and Marissa.Butch and Marissa met in the first book of the series, and the attraction between them was instant and undeniable.It is the most action-packed story in the series so far, with many fights, twists and turns, surprises. Butch’s problem is solved brilliantly. Lover Revealed also provides insight into the world of the Lessening Society: the Fore-lesser

#1.) Dark Lover ★★#2.) Lover Eternal ★★★★#3.) Lover Awakened ★★★#4.) Lover Revealed ★★★.5This series is constantly taking me by surprise. The books that I expect to like the most- I don’t and vice versa. Butch was not my favourite character for the first 3 books, so I wasn’t too excited to have to read a full book about him. I wanted John’s book instead. But I ended up being pleasantly surprised- as Lover Revealed ended up being my second favourite book thus far!I am beginning to wonder if there...

Book 4 of the BDB primarily features Butch ‘the cop’ and Marissa. We also get a good bit of Vishous and John Matthew. I liked Butch the first 3 books, but I was nervous I wouldn’t ‘love’ this book. I just didn’t feel that Butch/Marissa connection in the first few... Once again, I was wrong. I loved this one! Butch didn't live in his own place. He didn't spend his own money. He had no job, no future. He was a well-kept pet, not a man. Butch has never really felt like he belonged. Not w

I loved this book from page one. Butch resonated with me because he was so tortured. He was just as tortured as Zsadist but in different way. He got abused by his father and his mother ignored him. And his siblings pretty much followed their example and disowned Butch when his sister died. He felt like he was worth nothing and had nothing to live for. He was abusing himself and slowly killing himself day by day because his family had basically rejected him. That's why I love that he found The Br...

Reread 2020: (view spoiler)[ I forgot how much of this one I had forgotten. Really cool plot with the Lessers abducting Butch and implanting a piece of the Omega. I loved the scenes between him and Marissa in the hospital. I found it interesting how V’s personality has changed so much across the first four books. This one marks a striking difference with the BDSM piece, the hidden condo downtown, the attraction between him and Butch. It’s not that any one version is better than the other (okay,
