 What happened to my hero? October 15, 2008
Where was Phury? I can't begin to say how dissapointed I am in this book. I have waited patiently for Phury's story since he fell in love with Bella. I think Ms Ward forgot what a nice guy Phury was. If I was Cormia I would not have put up with him, even if I had been raised by the scribe virgin. He sacrificed his leg for his brother what did he sacrifice for Cormia?
I must say though I love seeing all the old characters returning and it is always good to have new characters so that this superb series can continue. I enjoyed the end of the book but what is Phury going to do with himself. I always imagined Phury to be a gentle, possessive and protective hero. Unfortunately he was too busy getting high and worrying about some wizard?? Where did he come from? I don't normally wright reviews but I am a big fan of the black dagger brotherhood series and will always buy JR Ward's books but I was very dissapointed in this installment as Phury has always been my Favourite character. I doubt I will be re reading this one.
 Good but could've been Fantastic October 14, 2008
Well, I really though Phury was the "good guy" all along, NOT!
I really liked that we were able to see his struggles after his brother's torture but I really wish this book would've been more about him.
The author tried to introduce so many new ideas to the Brotherhood's story in just this book that Phury and Cormia's story loses it's power.
She even skips 2 months ahead in the story and gives us no idea of what happens with the lovers during the time. It's frustrating.
There's also way too much about Phurry and Bella, P never gets over her but just replaces her with Cormia.
a bridge book

first off i loved all the bdb books except for number 4 that said this book is different but good. it took me 3 months to buy because of all the bad reviews. so lets clairify what had everyone dissapointed. 1. too much going on/ i personally like reading about everyone and whats going on and i cant wait for all their storys now. 2.not a romance/ sorry ladies but sex does not a romance make .this story is about two people with a boat load of emotional problems they have to find themselfs before they can find eachother. their story is not all wine and roses but thats life. alot of hard work and devotion und understanding. that is a love story. 3. bdbs treatment of phurys problems/ its called tough love. keep all these points in mind and enjoy.

Ok, my review is pretty much going to look like everyone elses. I'm pretty new to the PNR world. I love to read and just came across this series in August. I thought, "why not" and bought the first 4 books in the series.
Long story short I loved, loved, loved the first 3 books. I fell in love with the BDB. The dialogue was amusing, the brothers seemed to ooze sexuality, and I'm not going to lie, the love scenes were what sold me. Zsadist, of course was my favorite and I enjoyed his story the most. The fourth book was Vishous's story. This is when things seemed to go down hill. I liked it. Didn't enjoy it like the others. Yet, after reading all four in 5 days I raced out and bought Phury's story, Lover Enshrined.
Phury's was the story I had been looking forward to the most. And like alot of people that have reviewed I was beyond disappionted. It honestly felt like he and Cormia were the subplot of the story. There seemed no romance at all between the two of them. Phury still carried an obsessive torch for his sister in law Bella, and I would have liked to see him work passed that and slowly fall in love with someone. I wasn't given what I wanted though. Out of nowhere he decides he loves her. No real reason why I could see why he would feel that way. Their story was in the background most of the book while he was boo hooing about how awful his life had been and his battle with his red smoke.
(***Which on a side note Ward has said it was just a muscle relaxing type of herb not an illegal drug like weed. So why would jump from something that "harmless" as she makes it out to be on the forums to something as hard as heroin is beyond me***)
Which in my opinion, after what his brother went through, he didnt have it as bad. Then in the last quarter of the book I guess Ward decided she better wrap things up and just throw them together.
Seemed like she spent more time on the relationship between Quinn, Blay and John than anyone else. The real excitement of the book was the revealing of the Omega's son and new Fore-lesser Lash.
From what I hear there are going to be at least 10 books in this series if not more. The next one will be the story of Rehvenge.
Bottom Line: Decent if you like Urban Fantasy, if you're looking for the romance of her past BDB books you will be disappointed if not down right angry.
