Two brothers bound by more than blood fight to change a brutal destiny in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Sold by his parents to the Queen of the s’Hisbe as a child, Trez escaped the Territory and has been a pimp and an enforcer for years. On the run from a destiny of sexual servitude, he’s never been able to rely on anyone…except for his … anyone…except for his brother, iAm.

It’s not until the Chosen Selena enters Trez’s life that the male begins to turn things around…but by then, it’s too late. The pledge to mate the Queen’s daughter comes due, and there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no negotiating.
Now Trez must decide whether to endanger himself and others—or abandon the female he loves. When tragedy strikes and changes everything, iAm, in the name of brotherly love, is faced with making the ultimate sacrifice…

J.R.Ward and the BDB’s NEVER Disappoint. I have read the whole series and am waiting for the next installment “The Savior”. Can’t wait.
Amazing as always!
Part of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Excellent book!
Seriously… wtf? By definition, romances have a happy ending, even if bittersweet because the hero’s best friend dies to save the heroine or something. So WTF?! Yes, it was a sort of happy ending except for a major freaking death!!
Secondly, as this book was basically two romances in one, iAm totally got shafted, yet he got his mate. The romance this book centered on ended BADLY! Like seriously?!
Yes, it was a very well-written book. Yes, I enjoyed it immensely. But that ending?!?!!! I mean, I was thrilled that Trez had to man up for iAm for once, but still….
There truly is a very thin line between love and hate and this book tap danced all over the borderline. I took hours after finishing this book trying to decide what to rate this book. What do I rate a book that I both love and hate? One that made me laugh, smile, cry, scream and broke my heart all in one go. A book that kept me on edge even after I already read enough spoilers to know what was coming and still couldn’t put it down. I rate that a 5 star read!
If you are looking for rainbows, flowers and everyone gets a HEA don’t read this book. There is no HEA for Trez and Selena. There is a HEA for Iam and Maichen.
I have LOVED all of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books and I will continue to read them, but I will say that this one broke my heart. But through the tears, I recommend this book.
I have never cried so much reading a book. Good lord, keep a box of tissues nearby.
