Lover at Last

by J.R. Ward

Book Overview

"The hottest collection of studs in romance" (N ew York Times bestseller Angela Knight) returns as #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward brings together two of the most beloved people in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world--at last... .... Qhuinn, son of no one, is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has finally found an identity as one of the most brutal fighters in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems to be within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another.... Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it's about time: it seems Qhuinn has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young. It's hard for Blay to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. And Qhuinn needs to come to terms with some dark things before he can move forward... Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions... but as the battle over the race's throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn finally learns the true definition of courage, and two hearts who are meant to be together... finally become one.

Customer Reviews

Spine cover rip

Book was separating from the cover and spine but still readable, able to fix with lots of tape

Black Dagger Brotherhood Series

JR Ward series in Black Dagger Brotherhood is the only series I have read. She a good writer and her stories are good reads. Some over kill on the catch up of previous reads in the series. But the details are there and keep your interest. She’s in top 5th & 6th of my reads.

Love Love

I love this one as I do the others of the series. I love Blaylock and I love Qhuinn. Ok I love almost all of the males in the series I won’t lie. Worth the read as all the other ones are.

The Most Poignant Yet. . .

I have to admit I hesitated to even buy this book when I learned I would be reading about male-male sexual bonding, so I played it safe and borrowed it from the library first. Word! After five chapters, I ordered my own copy to keep it for my collection of favorite novels! Lover at Last convinced me Ward is an absolutely MASTER WRITER as she carried off Qhuinn and Blaylock's story with beautiful poignancy, just the right flare of passion and fury, and heartbreaking yet heartwarming romance with aplomb, taste, and compassion. One of my best friends is gay, and there is absolute beauty to his relationship with his mate, and so much love floating around my heart swells with happiness just being around them! Anyway, both males in this story have hearts of gold, abundant amounts of loyalty, strength, kindness, and so much love to give, yet they have difficulty coming to terms with their feelings for each other. This is a powerful, Quixotic yet brutal journey of a relationship between two powerful men who face ghosts and explosive secrets that can destroy their friendship and fragile relationship before it even begins. I am extremely impressed with the magnitude of J. R. Ward's skill, not to mention her consummate care and tact in handling this special romance, because this was, in the end, an explosive, unforgettable journey and expression of love that brought me to my knees with its pain and its ultimate joy.
