Product Description:
Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard living, ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, Marissa, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers... When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead but found by a miracle, the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back, though even her love may not be enough to save him...

Love the entire series. JR Ward's style is quick and funny - deep and dark -- and absolutely interesting. Turned on to this about two years ago - all my copies have gone from 50 yr olds to 18 yr olds and we are ALL HOOKED ON THE BROTHERS...sad part is, we all want our own (for real). I don't think men are like this anymore - complete devotion to each other and their mates along with loyal love make them a dying breed indeed.
The Brotherhood is a band of men that stick together through everything. Of course they're fighting the "bad guys" and they find their mates -- but it is their allegiance, loyalty, sense of pride and commitment to one another that is conveyed in the words - making me fall hard for most of them.
Other authors have tried to create this "feeling" of belonging to their own paranormal characters, but this is the one and only series I've read that takes me in and literally allows me to join in their lives and experience my own pride of belonging. (really wish we had more of this in today's society).
Anyway - each book is about a different brother. Book4 - BUTCH --- Thank you JRW for giving Butch his rightful place. When it comes to the Brotherhood - this author has entered with both barrels blazing -- it's one of the best series I've read and, at last count, I have 8 series in the library (waiting on new installments and not counting single reads).

I truly enjoyed this book which focused on Butch and Marissa's love story. There were a lot of new information that kept my attention. I also loved the fact that we learned a little more about Butch's history and family. This was a very good read from Ward.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood, is a bit different from the paranormal romance theme, while still chisled and sculpted, (yeah i run it into the ground, my point, so do they, get a thesaurus already)
As each member finds true love, (the authors version), They have to deal with (as usual) butt kicking bad guys. I enjoy the series, and interactions.

J.R. Ward creates a universe where the good guys are flawed but loveable. The men of the brotherhood are tough and scarred, both physically and mentally. A reveiwer said that the women in the novels may just be blow up dolls. What the reviewer is forgetting is that the books are about the Brotherhood. It is about the binds that tie them together and the Demons they overcome together. Of course there are women in the book, the men of the brotherhood are not monks. The men of the brotherhood in ways remind you of the hardworking law enforcement officers who protect us by putting their lives and sanity at risk. No one survives what they survive without having scars that run deeper than normal therapy can help. J.R. Ward creates a world where men are men and they fight to protect what they love(their world, the women in their lives, and their brothers). You can easily immerse yourself in their world. As far as the language goes, do you really think the men who kill for a living go around speaking proper English? They have their own language and it is a language that anyone with an open mind, will have no trouble deciphering. That is what makes them who they are. The language lets you into their world. It is only difficult to understand if you have been living in a cave for the last 20 years. All in all, J.R. Ward's series about the Brotherhood is not one to be missed.
