Paradise is the daughter of the King's First Advisor. Her destiny should be to marry someone from the Glymera and procreate as many babies as she can. However, Paradise is not with the program. She wants to be free to decide what to do with her future. After convincing her father, she decides to apply to the Black Dagger Brotherhood's training center program. No one thinks she can remain in it for too long. Not her father, the BDB guys or her childhood friend Peyton. But, Paradise is determined to show them all that she can. 
 Craeg wants to join the training program because he lost everyone when the lessers attacked. He wants to fight them and destroy them. Nothing or no one will interfere. Not even, Paradise, the woman who's constantly on his mind since the first time they met.

 I'm so happy to be in the BDB world again. I love that JR Ward is doing this spinoff. The Black Dagger Legacy already has new characters I want to learn more about. 
 I was so happy Paradise showed them all that she could do it. Yes, she won't be able to win by force but sometimes brute force is not the only thing that matters. 
 The side story with Marissa and Butch was good too. She showed him, he was not to place her on a pedestal. She wanted to be his equal, his mate, in all the ways it counts. Marissa's interaction with Havers made me think he might be getting a book too. Someone else who needs one is Lassiter. He made me laugh with every one of his scenes. By all means, continue doing a calendar. 
 Cliffhanger: No
