The legacy of the Black Dagger Brotherhood continues in a spin-off series from the number-one New York Times best-selling author....

Paradise, blooded daughter of the king's first advisor, is ready to break free from the restrictive life of an aristocratic female. Her strategy? Join the Black Dagger Brotherhood's training center program and learn to fight for herself, think for herself...be herself. It's a good plan until everything goes wrong. The schooling is unfathomably difficult, the other recruits feel more like enemies than allies, and it's very clear that the brother in charge, Butch O'Neal, aka the Dhestroyer, is having serious problems in his own life.

And that's before she falls in love with a fellow classmate. Craeg, a common civilian, is nothing her father would ever want for her but everything she could ask for in a male. As an act of violence threatens to tear apart the entire program and the erotic pull between them grows irresistible, Paradise is tested in ways she never anticipated - and left wondering whether she's strong enough to claim her own power...on the field and off.

This book has all the JR Ward staples, which makes the plot predictable, but a very enjoyable read nonetheless. I appreciated how Payton did not end up creating a love triangle between him, Paradise, and Craeg. I think his character deserved more and I hope to see him in future books! Also love the way every installment of this series takes you back into other characters whose stories were already told and gives you an update on how they’re doing. Narrator was fantastic as usual.

Good as always

The couple here is suppose to be young and it really felt like Ward captured the rampant urges of horny teens. As well as the emotional volatility.

Excellent as always

A little predictable but I do love a happy ending for everyone but the murderer. Always works.

Another enjoyable J R Ward book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and listening to a J.R. Ward book for the first time was a bit of a change. I enjoyed the narrator's take on the characters and look forward to listening more of this narrator in the future.

Another one for the shelves

I have to admit that the BDB series was getting a little "stale". But J. R. Ward came back quite well in the 1st spinoff effort. The only thing I could say negative is that some of the dialog seemed a little forced to be "millenialish". But I am an old guy so perhaps that explains it. All in all, I enjoyed the book. But I still don't like the "Hex" thing. "Zhex" is so much sexier.

Excellent start to a new Era of The BDB!

I love the way she thinks! The lingo she uses makes me laugh. But as usual, the characters made the story line even better!

JR Ward didn't disappoint!

Probably my favorite sweet love story of the books. Jim, does a fine job of delivering the storylines, of course. In love with this one.
