About this listen

New York Times best-selling author J. R. Ward has blown away fans with her layered, tantalizing tales of sexy vampires and supernatural intrigue. In Lover Unbound, an immortal killer falls into the care - and possibly the arms - of a mortal surgeon. Suffering a horrific childhood as the son of a Bloodletter in his father's war camp, Vishous pledges death to members of the vampire-hunting Lessening Society. Vishous knows no love. He feels no emotion. He lives only to oppose the slayers. But after suffering a mortal wound, a human surgeon named Dr. Jane Whitcomb tends to him. Her ministrations, however, extend beyond his physical injury - and before long her tender hand has awakened feelings of pleasure that Vishous never dreamed existed.©2007 J.R.

Being the bloodletters son says it all...

This is the 5th book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. The series is darkly emotional and extremely erotic and sexual. I really love this series and its twist on vampires but you have to take the brothers as you get them which is not always pleasant! I get the feeling that some of the other reviewers had no history from reading the first 4 books and read this book on its own. In this books case it would be hard to understand and like on its own. This book is about Vishous and Jane and their story together. Vishous is a pretty messed up male. You learn alot about his upbringing in this book which helps you undertand why he is the way he is. It is about control and giving it up and learning to trust another. Though Vishous might have bisexual tendencies from his upbringing you realize he has confused his love of Butch for something else. Since Butch is the first person he has had feelings for in 300 years this is understandable. This isn't my favorite of the BDB books but still an excellent story even if I cringe some in parts! JR Ward is an excellent author and I like the narrator as he has a very masculine voice. He has done all of the books. His inflections don't change much between person to person though, especially with the females.
Don't skip this book as like all the other books there are alot of other sub-stories going on and you are introduced to characters that will play important roles in the 6th book. Also, don't listen to this book without starting at the beginning of the series as they are all on audible now.

Ahhhhh

I have to say that Vishous is probably my favorite. I do love them all but for some reason he is my pick. It's such a treat to re-visit this series. It is one to put in your library and keep coming back to. I do believe this is the top paranormal series ever written and I love every addition to this amazing story.

With Doc Jane he truly feels for the first time and can now release the pain he has been harboring inside. The stark and cold animosity he has toward his mother can finally be put to rest. This is s story of fierce loyalty, hard sacrifices and painful choices.

Another stunner by JR Ward

Listen to or read the books; you will not be sorry! Ward takes you on a captivating journey, full of laugh, life, love, fight, warriors and the women who bring the best from them. I'm definitely having book withdrawls on this one. Lucky for me...Book 6 is downloaded & waiting. See you in the next review!

Awesome story

This book the the Black Dagger Brotherhood series was definitely amazing. The performance was great and added to the overall enjoyment of this story. There was unexpected turns everywhere and gives a better understanding of the complex relationship between V and his mother. You feel that the mother figure who has shown little concern but this novel you actually see outward caring not before seen. This is definitely a must listen to book!
