Lover Forbidden review! (Spoiler-free)

What better way to celebrate us entering September, the celebratory month of the 20th anniversary of J.R. Ward’s s BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD series, than to share my review of LOVER FORBIDDEN with you all?🥹

I was so lucky to receive an ARC of Lover Forbidden from Gallery books ,and holy Lassiter, WHAT👏A👏RIDE!👏

Nostalgia was a feeling that filled my heart often while reading this masterpiece. I was “home” again. With many of the people I’ve known for what’s soon to be two decades,making their appearance. Only, this time, not just as warriors, but as parents. Even though the scenery had changed, that lingering feeling of familiarity from the first books was present throughout this fangtastic story.

Each chapter had me at the very edge of my seat! I finished this fangtastic story in one sitting and have done a reread since.😍 #imnotobsessedimdedicated

Lyrics story , a rollercoaster of a ride , is one I think every BDB fan will appreciate. The nostalgic sentiments ,the scenes with her family, as well as her journey to finding her place in the world will have you invested right from the start. She’s definitely her father’s daughter, in every way🥹

Devlin sweeps Lyric off her feet from the very first moment they meet. His POV delivers a captivating story. You’re going to be rooting for this male,true?

As with the main plot, the side stories give us a insight into what’s to come for some of the BDB youngsters.

Remember how Lassiters book changed the entire BDB world as we knew it? Lover Forbidden falls on that same level of importance.

Ward absolutely knocked it out of the park with the way she perfectly transcribed each characters point of view. I felt every emotion, I saw the story play out crystal clear in my head. It has Wards distinctive story structure that we all fell in love with over 20 years ago.

And as always, where one path ended ,Ward offered us a new one to explore.

Whatever happens next in the BDB world, It`s gonna be of epic proportions,true?

SYNOPSIS:

“Aristocracy is making a run for the throne…

Lover Forbidden, an all-new thrilling, unputdownable, star-crossed paranormal romance in The Black Dagger Brotherhood series from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward is live now!

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.”
