Black Dagger Brotherhood Book 23: Lover Forbidden by JR Ward

 

Black Dagger Brotherhood Book 23

The aristocracy is making a run for the throne in this latest thrilling, star-crossed paranormal romance entry in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

When Lyric goes out for the night, she’s not ready for a brush with death—and she’s really not ready for the male who comes out of nowhere and saves her. Her family, especially her father, Qhuinn, are so relieved she’s okay, but all she can think about is her mysterious savior.

Without telling anybody, she seeks out Devlin, and they are immediately drawn to one another. Her near-death experience has given her a fresh appreciation for life and the desire to live it to its fullest, but she has no idea that he’s hiding a secret—or that he could be the key to ending the war between the Black Dagger Brotherhood and the lessers forever.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Back in the BDB world and it’s such a fun place to be! It’s Lyric’s turn for a story and I gotta say, there were definitely a lot of surprises in this one. Lyric has been feeling off lately. She needs a change from her current life. Being a social media influencer isn’t what she hoped it would be. And compared to what her brother and her family does protecting their species? It just feels like she needs to do more good and be more helpful. But what that means for her exactly she isn’t sure. But with her family going through something and then she faces her own brush of death, she wants to figure it out soon. But in the meantime, there is one thing that has her distracted. The man who saved her. There is something about Dev that calls her to him. She knows it’s not a good idea and there is no future, but she can’t help but be pulled to him. Dev has a lot of secrets and has been doing his best to blend in and never draw attention to himself. But after saving Lyric? Nothing is the same. He knows he should steer clear of her. But she draws him in with just one look. But nothing is as it seems. And that’s just those two! Lot of drama in the BDB as the war continues. LW is having his own issues and eventually drags in his new protector, Shuli, to it. Things are definitely getting interesting in this world and I can’t wait to see what else is coming!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
