Win J.R. Ward’s Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood)

Since True Blood wrapped its second season here in the U.S., we’ve been recommending other options for Truebies to read, watch, do, etc. Many of you have responded with your own recommendation that Truebies check out J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood. Described as an erotic paranormal romance series, it focuses on six vampire brothers who live together and defend their race against Lessers, de-souled humans who threaten their kind.

Dark Lover is the first book in the series and tells the story of Wrath, the only purebred vampire left on the planet. Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago, but when one of his most trusted fighters is killed- orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate – Wrath must usher the beautiful female into the world of the undead…

Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn’t there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of brotherhood and blood frighten her. But his touch ignites a dawning hunger that threatens to consume them both…

Brooding, gorgeous vampire men; beautiful, mortal (or are they?) women; supernatural intrigue; quests for soulmates – what’s not to love? If you’re looking for another series to tide you over in between Sookie Stackhouse novels and seasons of True Blood, this should be on your list.

(Already hooked on the Brotherhood? The next book in the series, Lover Mine, is due April 27.)
