Amazing, hot, great..probably one of the best vampire paranormal romance series I've read (the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost is equally good). The writing is good and Ward doesn't let you down. These vampire males are very much alpha males, but they're not so aggressive that you're put off.
Dark Lover is a good introduction to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series although the books that follow in the series are better. When I first read Dark Lover I was really captivated by it, but having read the rest of the books in the series, I have to say the third and fifth book are my favorites. But start with Dark Lover first or you'll be confused by the stories that follow.
Dark Lover is the story of Wrath, the last purebred vampire left in the world. He's technically the leader of his people, but he's a most unwilling leader. Beth is the half-human, half vampire daughter of Darius, a vampire aristocrat who is Wrath's friend and brother at arms. She's unaware of her vampire heritage. When Darius asks Wrath to do a favor (and the favor concerns Beth), Wrath is torn. He's not fond of humans, but he also finds it difficult to ignore his feelings. There's a lot of action, lots of sex, romance, and humor. The urban slang favored by the male vampires is odd especially coming from vampires who've been around for centuries, but otherwise I liked Dark Lover.
