See where it all began in the first phenomenal novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series… The only purebred vampire left on the planet and the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who killed his parents centuries ago. But when his most trusted fighter is killed—orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her … daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate—Wrath must put down his dagger and usher the beautiful female into another world.
Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn’t there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of the Brotherhood and blood frighten her. Yet his touch ignites a dawning new hunger—one that threatens to consume them both…

I love this book and all the others she wrote
I have read every one of her books in this series – absolutely one of my top two favorite series!!!! I have this in paperback AND hardback AND kindle – I’m obsessed! LOVE IT!!
i would recommend this book and the black brotherhood series to anyone.
JR Ward has created a world-within-a-world and sucked us all into it. This book starts it all and has it all – beyond Alpha males, strong women (or becoming stronger), ageless enmity, wit and humor, intelligence and steam, steam, steam!
Wasn’t my favorite of the series until I read it a second time.
Love everything “Black Dagger Brotherhood”!!
If you like dark, gritty, hard-hitting, in your face storytelling, then of course there’s the Black Dagger Brotherhood…
I was addicted to the brotherhood have read all up until the king it was very disappointing series seemed to turn into just a money maker no substance to the stories have not read any since
The entire Dark series is wonderful, you can’t go wrong with a novel by JR Ward
This is the first in a long series and the only series that I will pre-order… they are THAT good. Ward’s creation of this Vampire world alongside us humans is stellar. I truly can’t say enough about the depth of the characters, the settings, the storylines. Each book can be read alone as they each center around a particular brother or character …
If you’ve never read the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series your missing out!!!!!!!
Starts the whole Black Dagger brotherhood series. The characters are fabulous, anf yet ring so true. A pleasure to read – more than once! Definitely on my keeper shelf.
I’ve been wanting to read this series for a long time – I was absolutely spellbound and cannot wait to read more about the Brothers! Love Wrath and his vulnerable side and the bond between him and Beth. Captivating!
This is a great series. I do not normally read vampire stories but this is different. The narrator on the audio is the best!
I liked this book alot. This is the first one of hers I read. I borrowed it from the library, fully intended to return it. This is also the first time I had to go before a librarian and show them the book. Instead of saying that my dog ate my homework, I had to say my cat ate my library book. . She had left teeth marks all over the book. I …
All her books are the best
I think I’ve read the entire Black Dagger series. Ms. Ward is a master storyteller, of course, but her characters are so believable, I feel like I could sit across from them at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and have a long, fascinating conversation. I look forward to more from this amazing author.
Interesting new world of vampires. Lots of action,dash of heat and moments of sweetness. Characters are flawed and real but loveable.
Late in 2018, I had a long road trip, and needed an audiobook. This was the perfect companion. Highly recommended on audio, very captivating.
Absolutely LOVE the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, and “Dark Lover” is the first (and best) book, setting the story/scene for all the rest.
