Lover Mine: Black Dagger Brotherhood book 8
Lover Mine picks up a few weeks after Lover Avenged left off, where Xhex has been abducted by Lash, the evil son of the Omega. She is being held in Lash’s brownstone bound by a magical spell. She is trapped in a bedroom invisible to all except Lash. She is determined to fight him with everything she has in hopes of finding a way out or until the brotherhood finds her. Lash’s purpose for abducting Xhex is vengeance. Xhex killed his lover and he plans to take his revenge on her slowly and painfully. But Xhex puts up a vicious fight and he finds himself falling for her in his sick sadistic way.
John Matthew is hell bent on finding Xhex. He is not sure if she is alive or dead but he is determined to bring her home one way or another. He has never openly shared his feelings for Xhex with others but when he gets Xhex’s named tattooed on his back in the old language, his boys Blay and Qhuinn have a good idea of his feelings for her. Still, John Matthew does not ask the brothers for help in finding her, choosing instead to do it his own way, on his own terms.
Lover Mine has all the goodness we’ve come to love about the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Strong alpha vampires who live, love and fight hard. Although the focus of the series has moved beyond the actual brotherhood and their journeys to love and into the next generation of fighters, it still maintains that edge that sets it apart from other vampire series. There is much to talk about in this book, however I’ll focus on the relationships in this review since I believe that Lover Mine digs a little deeper than some of the earlier books in the series, touching on the intricacies of love and friendship and the ties that bind these delicate yet intensely deep relationships.
John Matthew and Xhex have many obstacles to overcome… (go get Lover Mine…)

“I have just started this one and will let you know what I think of it when I finish it. I like John Matthew and find myself rooting for him, but Xhex is just a little too prickly for me to warm up to. At this point in the book I’m trying to like her just for John Matthew’s sake, just like the ex-girlfriend of my son’s that I tried to like for his sake because he thought he was in love with her. I’m hoping she gets just a little more human as I read her story, like Rev did. We’ll see.” – admin
