Publisher's Summary
#1 New York Times bestseller J.R. Ward shares the passionate star-crossed love story of fan favorite, and original member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Darius.
Darius, son of Marklon, isn’t looking for love the night destiny comes to claim him. He’s also not expecting to crash his new car. But when a human woman runs out into the road and he must swerve to avoid killing her...everything goes off course.
Disillusioned by his King’s lack of leadership and the losses in the war against the Lessening Society, Darius finds purpose in protecting a woman he cannot make his own. Love finds a way, however—until the truth of what he is comes out and she leaves him in horror.
Unbeknownst to them both, Anne is carrying his young, a female who is destined to be Queen—and after a tragic reunion, he vows to protect their daughter. Resigned to perpetual sadness, he is determined to serve the memory of his beloved no matter the cost...unless by some miracle, fate sees fit to once again bring them together in this tale that is “full of drama, intrigue, and steamy restraint” (Booklist).

Story
Redemption isn't a word Jim Heron knows much about - his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charged with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. Vin diPietro long ago sold his soul to his business, and he's good with that - until fate intervenes in the form of a tough-talking Harley-riding, self-professed savior.

Story
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.

What the critics say
"Narrator Jim Frangione returns the listener to the vampire world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Frangione brings edginess to his performance. In the past, before the other vampires found happiness, vampire Darius encountered a human named Anne when he accidentally hit her with his car. His world was changed forever. Frangione expresses the happiness Darius now feels as he comes to realize that Anne is his fated mate. This is in stark contrast to how he feels when he loses her, scenes that Frangione delivers with all of Darius’s grief and anguish. Adding depth to the narration, Darius's butler, Fritz, is given a helpful tone that demonstrates his eagerness to please. Listeners will enjoy this glimpse of Darius’s world."—AudioFile Magazine

Great Character Origin
Story about one of the main characters that was killed but living in secret. Great love story. You know how it will conclude but it’s still one that will make you misty eyed.
Performance was really good. There were times it was very difficult to distinguish which character was talking as the voices created were too close. Always difficult to have a guys voice for a female, would be great if could collaborate to have a female voice over. It’s one main reason why I don’t normally do audio books as it takes you out of the story. Otherwise it’s easy to listen too.

Prequel
DO NOT listen to this book (# 0.5) till you have finished the black dagger brotherhood series and the black dagger legacy series.
It is about Darius; but would be very confusing and ruin the story line.
I loved this book, Jim Frangione reads all J R Ward novels and he is fantastic. Also J R Ward is an amazing author. Highly recommend.

Me, it's fine.
I've been reading JR Ward books since 2006, I pre-order them at this point. I was skeptical of this story and I wish I hadn't spent the credit. Nothing amazing happened that you don't already know, and if the "new" character that she threw in there is who I think he will turn out to be, then we didn't need this intro of him, he's been a slow burn secret since Lover Revealed. Still better than Lover Reborn, but at least that had plot movement. Still love the writing and Jim Frangione is amazing as always. These wouldn't be the same without him.
