After the nearly year long wait, having this book in my hands definitely calmed my nerves. But the wait is finally over and I am happy to report, it was worth it. This book immediately begins in the middle of a war. We are actually introduced to new vampires, the Anti-Brotherhood if you will. They are about slaughtering lessers and humans alike for sport. Bloodletter, the leader of the Anti-Brotherhood, has been murdered by a woman who pops out of nowhere. His son and second in command, Xcor (who scares me shitless by the way), is pissed by what he has seen and does not want anyone outside his group of bastards to tell the world his dad was taken down by a woman. This is where Xcor starts his 250 year hunt Then we end up in the modern day. Since we know that Payne is paralyzed from the waist down, Jane needs to do something to save her. The only person that can save her though is Manny, a gorgeous doctor in the human world whose brain has already been fiddled with by the vampires. Also who was in love with Jane and is still yearning for her a year after her death. So when she finally gets into the human world (after Vishous's bitchiness), surprising Manny with her not-so-dead appearance, Manny is less than pleased, but will do anything for a patient. Of course, Manny falls for Payne pretty quickly and Payne falls for him just as fast. But Vishous doesn't like it one bit and this is what sends him in a downward spiral. I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down. Although that doesn't go without saying there were some things that were different about this book. Not complaining mind you, but the format was different in this book. For instance, in the other books all the other books usually follow about two stories/characters and our main bad guy (sometimes three). But in this book, we have about four or five different stories going. It isn't bad, but it is quite different. In Lover Unleashed, we are given more of Vishous' story and like other have said (and is quite true), this was like part 2 of Vishous' story. But not given him a big story in this wouldn't make sense in my opinion. After all, he is about to lose his sister, Payne, who he just discovered existed in his 300 years of life. But I like where it went. I like that he started breaking down walls between him and Jane and trying to work pass his tragic past. But we do get plenty of Manny and Payne. Really loved Manny, he was smart and hot and really pulled through for Payne. Payne was amazing. I loved her mannerisms. She was stuck in the old days and had such an innocence about her, yet she had the ability to tear anyone to shreds. She was a favorite for me. Also in this book, we don't follow a main bad guy, a lesser usually. We are following Xcor and his band of vampires. Xcor has a grudge, wants to destroy the woman who killed his dad and wants to take down Wrath and get his throne. But this story takes a turn and I am not sure where it is going to go, but I can tell you, it is going to get ugly. We get more og Qhuinn in this book, which was great, but very sad. He is basically killing himself over what went down between him and Blay. It is very sad. We also find that Qhuinn has a special talent and sees something that both makes sense and is confusing, If you read it, then you know what I am saying (I hope). Another book I am more than happy to talk about forever, but I won't give so much away. I loved this book so much. It was a great addition to the series. Although I wish we got more lesser battles. I wanted a little more of Manny and Payne, but the book is nonetheless well balanced, it doesn't feel like it is dragging. I am also very happy that we got more characters that I am very interested in, specifically Throe and Thomas Del Vecchio Jr. Can't wait to get to their stories. Overall, this is highly recommended for any Black Dagger Brotherhood fan. The characters were as amazing as ever and this book was full of some surprises I didn't see coming. Also the ending will leave you smiling, well I was laughing because it was such a great moment. Lover Unleashed will not disappoint. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Lover Unleashed BDB book 9 - review *by L***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2011* Excellent book!! Continues the saga very well with some much needed closure on Vishous and Jane. I'm much happier now with Jane as a ghost, more accepting of her and her relationship with Vishous. We get to see more of Vishous in this book and some loose ends of his personality are tied up. Also, we get to see the relationship between Vishous and Butch evolve to something that involves satisfaction.Payne and Manny have a nice love story, at the end of the book it all seems very inevitable for them. Loved that Ward threw in the part about the horse Glory. That helped to flesh out Manny for me. I really like Payne. I would like to see more interaction between Payne and Xhex. I love the fact that Payne is a kick ass woman warrior. I cannot wait to see her fighting side by side with the Brotherhood.New partner for Jose de la Cruz shows up and brings a whole string of possibilities. I would like to ultimately see a meeting between Butch and Jose. Hope that's coming in a future book. However, Veck has some issues of his own. I cannot help but wonder, with all the questions floating around about him, is he another half breed vampire? Is there a possible relation to a half brother or two already on the scene?Xcor is a relatively new character that is fleshed out more in this book. I went from loving to hate him to grudgingly admiring him to not trusting him again. I like Throe. I really do and I feel there be more we will get to know about him as the series progresses. Still, Xcor and his followers represent a threat to the king and I really like Wrath as King. Also, Wrath is a pretty tough dude and savvy too. Xcor may have bitten off more than he can chew to go after Wrath.As far the Glymera. I think we can all see why the race is failing. The glymera are a bunch of elite pompous socialites whose society is rotting from the inside and they cannot even see it. No love lost for them. They are weak and not terribly smart and I have no doubt given most any situation, they'll make the poorer choice/judgement.The Qhuinn/Blay thing is really being drawn out. I want to just scream at Qhuinn to go knock on Blay's door already! I look forward to their story having a happy ending one of these days. But poor Layla! Will that child never have a happy day? I'd like to see her hook up with somebody! Maybe an as yet known vampire or half vampire? Or even one of the bad guy vampires?They don't have to stay bad guys forever do they? Couldn't Throe at least switch sides?Lots more going on in this book about the story of the BDB. I've seen a lot of reviews that were negative or less than positive. I think the series has progressed to the point that Ward had to vary her "one love story per book" and give us a little more of the entire group and I hope people can grow along with the story and realize that it is right and good that the stories in the books progress and unfold a little differently than the first three books of the series.Lassiter. Where was he? And Tohr? What's up with him? I know Ward cannot give a complete run down on every member in every book. Still, I would like to see just a mention of all the characters even just a sentence in a group scene.And mostly, these vampires have got to stop messing with the minds of important characters. Poor Manny was just ruined!! But he's okay now. I'd like to see a little more vampire concern when they start messing with the minds and livelihoods of humans.And yes, the Kindle version seemed to skip the editing process but it was readable, not sure what went wrong with that.And Murdehr, maybe not as crazy as everyone thinks. I look for him to maybe come back into the fold and fight along with the BDB again and even though he wasn't mentioned in this book, I hope to see him maybe in the next one?In all, a great read and I really look forward to the next book in the series. There's lots of plot still to unfold and lots of questions still to be answered and probably asked. Hopefully we'll see Manny have some sort of confrontation with his mother and maybe get to the bottom of that situation. As in... how many half breed vampires are running around that part of the country? The mystery dad seemed to have been quite the lover of human women.I enjoyed this book tremendously and I'm looking forward to the next one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book upgrade *by G***L on Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2024* Very good condition hardcover. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/4593265-lover-unleashed-black-dagger-brotherhood-book-9](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/4593265-lover-unleashed-black-dagger-brotherhood-book-9) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
