Lover Forbidden

By: J.R. Ward

Narrated by: Jim Frangione

The aristocracy is making a run for the throne in this latest thrilling, star-crossed paranormal romance entry in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

When Lyric goes out for the night, she’s not ready for a brush with death—and she’s really not ready for the male who comes out of nowhere and saves her. Her family, especially her father, Qhuinn, are so relieved she’s okay, but all she can think about is her mysterious savior.

Without telling anybody, she seeks out Devlin, and they are immediately drawn to one another. Her near-death experience has given her a fresh appreciation for life and the desire to live it to its fullest, but she has no idea that he’s hiding a secret—or that he could be the key to ending the war between the Black Dagger Brotherhood and the lessers forever.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Jim Frangione returns the listener to Caldwell, New York, where vampires live, unbeknownst to humans. When Lyric, a female vampire, is saved from a flying billboard by a stranger named Devlin, sparks fly between them. Yet vampires are being hunted by “lessers,” humans without souls, who want to kill them. Lyric’s family helps fight the lessers, and Frangione ratchets up the tension during the moments of battle. As Lyric copes with the impending death of her grandmother, Frangione brings out her grief. Devlin cares for Lyric but recognizes the barriers between them, and Frangione’s performance expresses his frustration. Frangione can be counted on to deliver all the drama and passion in this novel."

Different

ALOT of twist and turns, filling in blanks and such. Felt like too much was left out of story. But I love BDB.

Lyric stepping up to fill her Grandmahmen's shoes.

I liked how Devina isn't all bad. I just wish that they could've ended Lash once and for all.

It was over too soon!

I love the Black dagger Brotherhood! I didn't think I could enjoy hearing about the next generation but I am so glad I was wrong!

Another great listen!

I love the descriptive writing. I laugh out loud at some of the similies JR Ward comes up with. I’ve subscribed to Passionflix and watched the portrayal of the first book and it’s one of the best renditions of book to film I’ve seen. The only thing missing is the perfect narration from Jim Frangione.

Love it!

I love it but the ending felt rushed. I wish she’d stretched it out a little more.
