OK, I got introduced to BDB from LU so I’m kind of reading the series backwards. Anyway, what I have to say is that this series is beyond addictive it’s practically my skin… thats a wierd way to put it. But of what I have read… Lover revealed is the most emotional that I have read and its a toss up between lover revealed and lover awakened being my favourite. I think Butch’s human presence helped to keep the realitY of the story grounded even though he changed its the fact that he was changed that matters. I’m head over heels in love with this series!

I laughed when I noticed that the ladies dress colors when they welcome Butch back from the tomb corresponds to the books cover colors!

I noticed that too, Laura!

I have just started reading all of the books. I am on my last book now and it has only taken me about 2 weeks to read them all. Athough reading these books have created a tiny problem w/ my husband and I. The problem is I am up until till 2 or 3 am reading them and not paying any attention to him.hehe I love these book sssoooo much. When I do get to bed, I dream about the books I have not read or the parts I haven’t read yet. I can’t wait to read the last book. I’m starting tonight. Than I hope there will still be more w/ the last brother. I hope this last book finishes up John’s story. Is he Darius rencarnated?

[quote comment="24135"]Thanks so much for posting a follow up, Angelle. I agree completely about the revelation. But I like Butch. I can see why some people think he’s a loser but how did the Brotherhood get all that money of theirs? So far as I can tell, they just inherited it. It’s not like they earned it with hard work. Butch did work as a cop until he got pulled into the Brotherhood’s world.

I think that though the brotherhood may have inherited ther money, their money there is a part in Dark Lover when they were showing Beth how to manage her money that shows that some of the Brother hood, V and Phury ,I think, deal in stocks and bonds and that sort of thing

I’m parisian… excuse my language, I read but I speak or write not very well ! I love this serie. I had never read a vampire’s story and I found these books very interesting specially lover awakened and lover revealed (stories of Z and Butch). Butch isn’t worse than the others warriors, for me. He knows that he hasn’t found his place in the human world. His evolution is the best part of this story. I like very much the theme of homosexuality, borderline yes, but for a french woman who love romances, it’s not conventional to read that kind of books. They aren’t translated and edited in France… the heroes have lot of gay friends in comedies, films, books, but the heroes COULDN’T be “bi” or gays themselves. I love the different and passionate characters, the sexy part, the great EMOTION and the talent of this author who can to admit to me a lot of things… And also, I love to read your appreciations…

Lover Revealed was my favorite book also. I think the story of Butch and Marissa was so sweet and tender, even the sexy parts, WoW!!! I can’t wait to know more about Vishous. I also read and re-read the parts that involved the “cop” and “V”. I think Phury will have a very interesting story line, and I’m glade he is next. I hope it is as sexy as Lover Revealed.

I love the language, the settings, the whole package has me hooked like you would not believe, I thought I was the only one that devoured these books, its good to know there are other addicts out there. I will read them as long as J.R. writes them.

You are most welcome. Ward has done a guest day for each of her books so far and will be back by my blog on the 9th.

Regarding Penguin… I followed a link to their website, hoping to get info on when an ebook might be forthcoming and was surprised that they only offer the other Brotherhood books in paperback on their website. Not even a mention that Lover Awakened can be bought as an ebook!

That’s not good. They should be promoting the ebook as well as the paperbacks.

Sybil, thank you.. I would appreciate any info you manage to get. :D This is a very friendly site! Glad I stopped by.

[quote comment="24326"]I have Lover Awakened in ebook format. I use ereader.com and fictionwise.com primarily. I went rambling around this website and obviously J.R. Ward is well aware of ebooks :) YAY team! I am just wishing they would release the books as ebooks at the same time as they release the mass market or paperback.[/quote]

Ward said all the books will be released in eform… but I don’t have a date yet. I shall try and nail that down.

I bought it too, Donna, when it came out and can’t wait for the others to be released. Penguin often does it a week later so you may want to keep your eyes peeled.

Donna – I am guessing that is an error because there is no Ward ebook as far as I know. I know that Janine recently read an EC and was writing a review for that one and maybe she made an error.

You said you were clicking your PDA page by page! Where did you get Lover Revealed in ebook format? I have horrendous eyesight and ebooks are just about the only way I can comfortably read anymore. I would gladly pay the same price as the shelf book. I know it is usually up to the publisher, but can I please urge J.R. Ward to plead the case for releasing her books in ebook formats?

Maybe it should bother me that Butch doesn’t do more with his life in books 2 and 3, but I’m used to reading a lot of historicals with idle aristocratic heroes. I don’t think Butch is worse than they are; he at least feels bad about the fact that he’s not doing anything with his life, which makes me feel that he wants to be better than he is.

I have a soft spot for flawed characters, so his moping, drinking and sleeping around didn’t turn me off, either. It actually made me more interested in him, because I like to read about characters turning their lives around.

I like Butch quite a bit in Book #1, but since then I just couldn’t like him anymore. Does that make me fickle?

I guess what I find objectionable about his behavior since Book #1 is that he’s financially independent but doesn’t do anything. He didn’t seem to haev any purpose in life except … you know just hanging out with the Brothers. He’s angsty over Marissa, and thinks she’s the bomb, but he doesn’t do anything to improve himself…maybe make himself more worthy of her. Seeing him mope about her, then go to clubs and get drunk and have meaningless cheap sex with women he didn’t even know (and without using any protection) really made me lose respect.

But then I expect a lot more from heroes than heroines. And I have thing feeling that maybe I just don’t like the even numbers in the series. Book #2 (Rhage & Mary) wasn’t my favorite either, especially with the Virgin ex machina solving so many problems oh-so conveniently. But I really liked #1 & 3.
