Welcome to Litsy!

Book 3 in the black dagger brotherhood series. This one is about Zsadist and Bella.

A LOT happens in this book! I‘m absolutely loving and devouring these books!

Continuing with my series reread, this is my favorite of the series! Zsadist is a “broken boy” who is redeemed by Bella‘s love. I love this trope. Zsadist was a blood slave a few centuries ago, and has carried shame and self-loathing his entire life. As a result, he‘s pretty miserable to be around. Until Bella crosses his path and his cold heart begins to melt and experience love for the first time. Love, love, love this one.

I don‘t think this is the 1st of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series but I don‘t think you need to read them in order. Love J.R. Ward books!!! Trying to get some time here at the beach reading since I‘ve been fishing more than reading while I‘m here. I hope you all have a good Labor Day weekend. It‘s 90‘ here and I‘m not ready to kiss summer good bye. I love my summers. Especially to read here at the beach. #beachreads #summerreads #jrward

Starting the 3rd in the series 📖🤗

Book 3 of #BlackDaggerBrotherhood

Could hardly put it down, although I could predict the ending from the start.

@GingerAntics, I might have to unfollow you. You make me plunge down rabbit holes. I should be reading all the ARCs. 🙈🙈

Fabrics cut and pinned together. Now I just need to sew them up.

This book was originally one of my favourites of the series (back when there were only 6 books). Zsadist has always been one of my favourite characters from this series, but this time through I love the entire brotherhood. I‘m not sure I can pick a favourite. Z is certainly up there though with his past, and his strength to eventually push through it all. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

A lot of contemporary fiction references to Trump haven‘t aged well, but this one sure as hell did. I‘m dying!!!

I‘m so excited to revisit Z and Bella. This is one of the few of the first six books I remember something about. I know there is a lot I don‘t remember too, though. Third of the six books where the audiobook doesn‘t match the ebook at all, but at least this one somewhat relates to the ebook cover as well. #jrward #BlackDaggerBrotherhood #LoverAwakened

The more I get to know these characters the more I like the books! Can‘t wait to read the next one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my favorite book out of the series so far! It was so good! I loved the healing that Zsadist has to go through. I love the relationship between Zsadist and Bella. This book was heartbreaking as well since something bad happens to a character. Mr. O is just a psychopath and made a great villain. This was just great and I cannot wait to carry on more with this series.

Thanks for hosting the #24B4Monday #readathon @Andrew65 @SumisBooks @jb72 I had a great time!

I read two books and started in on a third and came in at 18 hrs and 32 min.

This book had a darker flavor than the other two. It was much more detailed and intense. I thought it was really good.

Thanks for the tag @Owlizabeth 1. Either sleep or watch something funny like The King of Queens.
2. July—Atlantic Ocean when in Ireland.
3. So far, so good! I will def try.

@Grrlbrarian wanna play? @MoonWitch94

This series is like book candy for me!🍬🍭🍫 I could eat it up all day. This book dealt with the serious topic of sexual abuse, so didn't go down as easily as books 1& 2, but it has a satisfying ending. I enjoyed it.

This book was my introduction to paranormal romance. Zhadist, man. He's still my favorite Brother.

Kindle format is currently only $1.99. #romantsy

What a beautiful ending!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 can‘t wait to get home and start the next one!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh, darling Zsadist. I definitely understand why his story is a favorite among fans of this series. Who knew he could be so tender-hearted despite all that pain and humiliation he endured. This was a delight to read and I can‘t wait to continue with these books 🥰
#blackdaggerbrotherhood #romantsy

Z is now my favorite of the brothers. To be fair that is now the third time I‘ve change my mind on who is my favorite so chances are it will change again. These books are amazing JR Ward creates characters that are so floored and well human that you can‘t help but suffer with them. The story such you in and drags you along kicking and screaming. I love these books

BOOK Three of my reread, Lover Awakended by J.R.Ward, Bella and Zsadist story is one of the hardest to read from the series it also touches on a basic insecurities and fears we all have, it took me a little longer then normal to read but I am glad I did

A coworker recommended this series to me and I am obsessed. I can‘t wait to start the fourth.

Good, but sad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 out of 5.

I can‘t tell you the last time I finished a full length novel and started a second one in the same day! Flying through this series...I love me some BDB. 🧛🏻‍♀️

The damage done to this vampire lives in his very blood and bones - Zsadist is a ruined warrior. When a female is taken hostage, he takes on the challenge of finding her against every obstacle.

1) I've read A LOT of romances, so I decided to put the book that introduced and hooked me to the modern romance genre.
2) Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth
3) Orchids
4) Swedish Fish
5) Red

Congratulations @Elle_Skeldon 🎂💕🎈👏🏻🎊
I think of Zhadist as the loner brother in the Blackgagger Brotherhood... With a past full of suffering and humiliation, anger was his only companion until he rescues beautiful Bella ❤️
#giveaway thank you for the opportunity!!! ❤️❤️

#bookhaul!! This is what I love about used book stores and trade credit; all this just cost $17!!!

I've only read the first three books of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, and this has to be my favorite! This was my second read and I loved it still!
The tragic tale of Zhadist had me yearning to give him a hug. It was so sad to hear about his past. I was so happy that Bella came into his picture. They were perfect for each other.

#tattoo makes me think of Zsadist who was kidnapped by his nanny when he was 7 months old and when she died sold into slavery... His mistress kept him in a cell ready to use for blood or sex with her or other males... His brother Phury found him after a century and he later added body piercings and slave band tattoos because he liked the pain... 😱😰He later fell in love with Bella ❤️

Black Dagger Brotherhood

#augustgrrrl

I love all the BDB books and brothers but this one.....absolute favorite. Hands down. Z had held a special place from day 1. #ScarTissue on the inside as well as out. #loveabadboy 💗💗💗💗💗

@Cinfhen @Robothugs

I love Bella & Z. I also love that Bella is a badass and not scared of anything. Good re-read.

#JuneTunz #Scars

These books both feature a beautiful scarred man.

I ❤️ Jamie Fraser, and Zsadist is my favorite of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

#RockInMay #DangerousType

I like this series, and I am not ashamed. Zsadist (the names are annoying, but I learned to deal) is my favorite of the Brotherhood. He's a vampire who had a horrible past of abuse, and as a result he's angry and mean and very scary at the beginning of his story.... definitely the dangerous type.

Also, he's super hot. 🔥 🔥 😍 😂

OMG!! I can't believe I waited so long to read this series. It's amazing and each book gets better.

Next up

I forgot how awesome Ebay can be for big lots of series books. Can't wait to dive in!

Even though this book has an amazing rating both on Amazon and Goodreads it just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm dnf-ing it at 27%. 😐 They can't all be winners!

I'm in mood for some romance and action tonight! 🤗 I haven't read J.R. Ward before and plan on breaking all the rules by starting on the 3rd book in the series 👮🤘 Here's to hoping I won't be too lost !

#rulebreaker #romantsy

Day 29 of #booktober is #supernaturalbeings and this seems like a good time to mention the hottest vampires I've ever read about. I don't always read paranormal romance, but then there was the time I read 11 Black Dagger Brotherhood books in the span of 4 weeks. 😳😂

This book is my favorite of the so entirely awesome Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Zsadist's story was so compelling. ♡ #OSRBC #romantsy

I'll indulge you with my new shirt my boyfriend got me instead of the awful cover of the book. Romance is normally not my thing but this series is a guilty pleasure. This one was probably my favorite in the series so far; wasn't as mushy as some of the others. plus Zsadist is my favorite brother because he hates everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love re-reading old favourites 💗

Next Two Reads 😀 #currentlyreading
