REVIEW: The Billionaire Next Door by Jessica Bird

JanineB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviewsabuse / Boston / Contemporary / death / Jessica-Bird / JR-Ward / New York City43 Comments

Dear Ms. Bird, After eyeing it all year last year, I finally decided to sign up for Keishon’s TBR Challenge. I figured it would motivate me to dig up some of the older books that have piled up around my house which I have been ignoring in favor of the ... more >

REVIEW: Lover Enshrined by J.R. Ward

JiaB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews CategoryBlack-Dagger-Brotherhood / Jessica-Bird / JR-Ward / Paranormal / vampires83 Comments

Dear Ms. Ward, It might be an understatement to say your previous novel, Lover Unbound, elicited some very passionate reactions from readers. I can’t say I disagree with those criticisms. Even though I ended up liking the book because it developed John Matthew’s storyline, the main romance drove me insane ... more >

Dear Ms. Ward, As everyone who has read your books knows, Zsadist is the most feared member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. A vicious fighter in the vampire Brotherhood’s battle against the evil lessers, Zsadist is also scarred, antisocial, and rumored to kill women. But in your previous book, Lover ... more >

REVIEW: Lover Awakened by JR Ward

JaneA- Reviewsabuse / Black-Dagger-Brotherhood / JR-Ward26 Comments

Dear Ms. Ward: You hardly need another letter from one more fan about how much she loved your book, but what the hell. This story is about Zsadist and Bella. Zsadist was stolen from his family as a babe and was sold as a slave. He came to be the ... more >
