Where to begin!? Lover Unbound is amazing. It literally blew my mind. Honestly, I think it's one of the best books that J.R.Ward had written of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It was dark, sensual, original, sweet in some sections and just bloody amazing. I would have liked more interactions between the Brotherhood like in the first novel but what the hell, I'm going to be raving about this for days. 
 Vishous was wonderful. He was an amazing protagonist and Ward had portrayed his character extremely well. He was easy to connect with and generally made me ache for him in a sad, sad way. I love how the author gave everybody these distinct personalities. If I were to be quizzed upon who was whom based on personality alone, I'd get a high score. 
 Jane was lovely as well. She was strong and determined and reminded me of Beth Randall from the first book in a good way. The rest of the heroines, Mary and Marissa did come off as weak-willed, so I was worried about Jane. Not that I needed to. 
 And I know that one of the hallmark characteristics of J.R. Ward's books is the sex, and of course it was great in all the other novels. But in this- Vishous brought a new meaning to word "kinky". I've never favoured that type of kinkiness, but well when a guy says this to you: 
 "When I want you to beg, I'll tell you." 
 An incredibly hot guy with a penchant for unexpected sweetness and a sexy body by the way. 
 "Hello, Doctor. It's your man." 
 Well, it's kind of accepted that I'd probably roll over like a dog and go to hell with it, and strip and jump him like he's never been jumped before. 
 I'm hoping that Lover Enshrined would be as good as Lover Unbound. 5 stars all the way.
