I like Lover Eternal. 
 ***** 
 "I will not fall in love with you," she said. "I can't let myself. I won't." 
 "That's all right. I'll love you enough for the both of us." 
 DRAMATIC. 
 Lover Eternal is one step better than Dark Lover. I expected more from Rhage because i adored him on the first book, but I was turned off when he got emotional. Mary Luce is not that special. The main reason i liked this book is because this is where Zhadist and Bella's story began. =) 
 Rhage is THE force among the Brotherhood. Nobody can take him especially when the Beast is unleashed. I really, really like him because despite the strength within him, he's afraid of himself. Mary Luce is an innocent bystander - her meeting the Brothers accidentally brought her to Rhage's attention. I am really not a fan of her. I hate the way she treated Rhage, like she's the only one hurting. Rhage deserves better. Well... there is this one time where Mary stood her ground against the brothers when Rhage was seriously hurt. You do not read everyday a female (much more a human!) reprimanding the Brothers' lack of care to Rhage. 
 Rhage's and Mary's story was so buried when Ward begins to build Zhadist's and Bella's story. I was pumped up when they started to show up in the scenes! Thank goodness the third book is about them, else i wouldn't finish this book that fast. =P 
 Lover Eternal is just an okay book for me. Moving on, i already started Lover Awakened. ;-)
