Book Blurb:
Few authors
give readers such a “powerful rush”* as #1 New York Times bestselling
author J.R. Ward does in her phenomenal books of the Black Dagger
Brotherhood. Now she returns to that fiercely intoxicating world in a
new novel of a woman’s journey from terrifying enslavement to an erotic
rapture that proves equally dangerous…
Payne, twin sister of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, warrior cloth as her brother: A fighter by nature, and a maverick when it comes to the traditional role of Chosen females, there is no place for her on the Far Side… and no role for her on the front lines of the war, either.
When she suffers a paralyzing injury, human surgeon Dr. Manuel Manello is called in to treat her as only he can- and he soon gets sucked into her dangerous, secret world. Although he never before believed in things that go bump in the night- like vampires- he finds himself more than willing to be seduced by the powerful female who marks both his body and his soul.
As the two find so much more than an erotic connection, the human and vampire worlds collide … just as a centuries old score catches up with Payne and puts both her love and her life in deadly jeopardy

Amee Review:
Lover Unleashed is the
9th book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It is the story of
Payne, the twin sister of the Brother Vishous. Payne arrives on the
scene a couple books back in Lover Avenged when the Blind King, Wrath,
goes over to the "other side" and meets her. Wrath and Payne become
sparring partners. Payne is not allowed to leave the sanctuary and
Wrath is not allowed out in the field to fight so the friendship the two
of them build is a win win for both of them. Wrath does not know that
Payne is Vishous' twin sister which means he also does not know that she
is the Scribe Virgins daughter. The SV has held Payne prisoner for
centuries, never allowing her to leave the sanctuary. Wrath only finds
this out at the end of Lover Mine when Payne suffers from a fatal injury
during her sparring session and she will not allow her mother aka the
Scribe Virgin to help her. Pleading, Wrath, convinces the SV to allow
him to take Payne over to his side to get her help. Lover Mine ends
with Vishous finding out he had a twin sister and she is in need of
immediate help! At the start of Lover Unleashed,Jane, the Brotherhoods
private physician and V's shellan, is not knowledgeable enough to help
fix Paynes injuries. She knows someone who is, however, and she sets
off to pick up her old collegue and friend Manuel Manello. Manuel aka
Manny is the big man at the hospital and he is a pro at what he does,
but after loosing Jane about a year ago his life has not been the same.
When Jane takes him to help Payne he had no idea that his life is about
to spiral into a totally new direction as he falls quick for her. But
it will not be easy for these two, Manny after all is human and a human
male can mean trouble for the BDB. But it is Manny and Manny only who
will be able to help Payne and their journey is lovely with some twists
and surprises included.
In Lover Unleashed a new group of Vampires is introduced into the series, the Band of Bastards. You are going to find out quickly that Xcor and his band of Bastards are not there to be nice and make friends.
Vishous and Jane are also a very big part of this book. Their relationship goes through some struggles, but what relationship doesn't. And the way they come through it is what makes them either solid or not.
This BDB book is shorter then a lot of the other books. There is not as many things happening in the background. Qhuinn and Blay are a small part of this book and you can see their story slowly evolving. While reading Lover Unleashed if you start to wonder why there isn't very much other story going on, remember that the next book, Lover Reborn, at least the beginning, takes place around the same time that Manny and Payne are meeting one another. As with all BDB books I loved this story and I think I feel in love with it even more this time around. I can't wait to see the two of them more in future books to come!!
