Dark Lover by J.R. Ward
4.0
3 STARS
Darius asks the King of Vampires, Wrath to help his half-breed (half-human/half-vampire)daughter through the transition. Wrath declines at first but after Darius is murdered by the Lessers he goes straight out to protect her. Even though Wrath has a mate, Marissa he has never felt love for a woman. Wrath soon finds himself having feelings for the half-human, Beth.
Beth, a reporter, is drawn to Warth like a moth to a flame but when she discovers who is his and why he first came to her her world is blown away. Can she accept she will be going through a transition and let Wrath help her.
2011 - I liked this novel. I did not really find Warth attractive and found him to be the Vampire version of Beast (from Beauty and the Beast). I wish there was more of Butch, the tortured homicide detective. I was more attracted to him and his romance with Marissa...and plus he a Red Sox fan ;)
2014 - When I first read this novel I liked it but was not wowed. Two years later, I decided to do a re-read so I could continue the beloved series and whoa I had a totally different reading experience. I savoured each word and scene and loved the romance of Beth and Wrath. While I still did not "fall in love" with Wrath I respected him a lot more this reading. Butch is still hands down my favourite and I cannot wait to see where the story goes with him...and Marissa. I also like Tohr and Wellsie and hope we get more on their romance in the future. Each brother has intrigue and I cannot wait to dig into the rest of the series.
