Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this sexy paranormal romance novel set in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward tells the story of two couples—both fighting to find love in the midst of the war with the Lessening Society.
A vampire aristocrat, Peyton is well aware of his duty to his bloodline: mate with an appropriate female of his class and carry on his family’s traditions. And he thought he’d found his perfect match—until she fell in love with someone else. Yet when his split-second decision in a battle with the enemy endangers the life of another trainee, Peyton has to face the idea that his future, and his heart, actually lie with another.
Novo, as a female in the Black Dagger Brotherhood’s training program, feels like she has to prove herself to everybody—and she has no interest in being distracted by falling in love. But when Peyton proves to be so much more than a rich playboy, she is forced to confront the tragedy that has broken her soul and closed her off from love.
As the two grapple with Novo’s past and Peyton’s present, another couple must contend with a connection that is unparalleled—and potentially scandalous. Saxton, who has had his heart broken, discovers in himself a deep-seated attraction to Ruhn, a new member of the household. But will the other male explore the connection? Or will he close his mind and his heart to what could be true love . . . and cost Saxton everything?
Praise for J. R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series
“Utterly absorbing.”—Angela Knight
“To die for . . . I love this series!”—Suzanne Brockmann
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ward's third Black Dagger Legacy novel is considerably toned down compared to earlier books, but readers will still be satisfied. While Peyton, a wastrel member of the aristocratic glymera, is training with the Black Dagger Brotherhood in their existential war against the Lessening Society, he attempts to prove his worth, but his bad judgment nearly kills Novo, another trainee. Peyton's attentions during Novo's recovery are sweet and sexy, but a combination of their selfish families, her insecurities, and a big secret may destroy their relationship before it can blossom. Of the two romances in this entry, theirs is the more emotionally intense, but the love story that develops between Brotherhood consigliere Saxton and new household member Ruhn may be more poignant, thanks to rough-edged Ruhn's uncertainty about his elevated position in the Brotherhood. Ward's duo of redemptive and complementary romances is engrossing and surprisingly tender.
Customer Reviews
Falling in love with Peyton
Novo is tough as nails and as emotional as a brick wall. When the BDB training program opened up asking for new recruits, she jumped at the chance to find a sense of purpose and meaning in her life, to cover the constant emotional pain she was in. She wasn’t counting on Peyton, your typical rich boy, to entice her. But can she keep her heart safe from his constant attacks ?
Saxton, the King’s solicitor, hasn’t gotten over Blay and finds himself looking for ways to resign his position to get away from the constant reminder of what he has lost. But when Blay asks him to help out a friend of his parents, the king assigns Ruhn to keep him safe. As old feeling die and new ones emerge, can Saxton and Ruhn overcome the obstacles in their way?
JR Ward has masterfully brought us another book with not just one love story but two. We get to watch each couple find their way through the pain and heartache they have experienced to find their way together. Every book gives us more insite into the world of the vampires. I love that even though this is a separate series, we still get to see the brothers that we have come to love. Peyton is my favorite recruit and I love how far he has come emotionally since the first book in this series. I hope we get to see him and Novo in more books.
Loved it as usual....she never disappoints.
Read the ENTIRE series. You won’t be disappointed. Wow this lady writes so good. Keep em coming hunny!
