Publisher's Summary

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.

Good story, don’t love the narrating

I think JR Ward has done another great job with creating another out-of-this-world story!
It’s believable and you feel the characters, but the narrating could be better. Sorry Jim Frangione!

Always a great story from J R Ward!

An enjoyable listen, Vs story isn't my favorite of the series, but it is true to the BDB books and great continued development of the characters.

it's an emotional rollercoaster

this is a really good time it gets super intense towards the end the exploration in the sub and Dom elements of the character it's quite fun and that awakening of that kind of desire in another character this is a quick little mild exploration of it but if you were looking for something that acknowledges proper levels and needs and desires of consent in anything that has you tied up. while trying to explore the concept of past trauma and damage particular in the male lead character's life from childhood this is an appropriate exploration for it. and this is a decent starting point.

I would highly recommend.

Love these stories

I can't get enough of these books. Although, this one is a little too spicy for my liking, I like the storyline so much.

technical issue

The chapter didn't align properly, which made it hard to find where I left off at. Which turned out to be fine because I enjoyed the book.
