About this ebook

The aristocracy is making a run for the throne in this latest thrilling, star-crossed paranormal romance entry in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

When Lyric goes out for the night, she’s not ready for a brush with death—and she’s really not ready for the male who comes out of nowhere and saves her. Her family, especially her father, Qhuinn, are so relieved she’s okay, but all she can think about is her mysterious savior.

Without telling anybody, she seeks out Devlin, and they are immediately drawn to one another. Her near-death experience has given her a fresh appreciation for life and the desire to live it to its fullest, but she has no idea that he’s hiding a secret—or that he could be the key to ending the war between the Black Dagger Brotherhood and the lessers forever.

LOVER FORBIDDEN is the 23 book in JR Ward’s contemporary, adult BLACKDAGGER BROTHERHOOD paranormal, romance series.This is Lyric and Dev's storyline. LOVER FORBIDDEN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, acceptance and love. The premise is detailed, dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated but struggles in the face of perceived betrayal and revelations of heartbreak and lies; the characters are numerous, charismatic and energetic.

I enjoyed most of this book, but it felt too short, as if half the story was left out. There was way too much filler that didn't need to be there and not enough depth that was needed to make the story complete. Not Wards best by far.

I hope you keep writing these books. I can't wait to find out about L.W and Bitty. To me Phury needs more of his story he never had a fair book. I'd like to know what's going on in his life.
