A wonderful addition to the series, focusing on three main characters V. Payne and Manny.
Loved Manny, any man that loves his animal that much is a good man to me. V. really took a lot of this story up and resolved some very dark issues he has been carrying. An interesting new player has stepped onto the field and may put the King Wrath at risk.

So excited to start this book! It feels like I've been waiting FOREVER for it to come out! YAY!!!

I'm kinda sad that this one fell back into the same sorta SL as a lot of the early books. I was hoping to have some more information about Murder and that weird haunted house. And I'm definitely looking for more Blay and Quinn, that's one of the better developed relationships. All in all, it wasn't bad but not my favorite either.

Oh, my.

What to say?

Ummm...in all honesty? It tanked for me.

I found the storyline weak and Payne, who should've been a kick-ass heroine (ala Xhex, perhaps, but sexier?) was everything BUT. I also found Manny's and (LORD-PLEASE-FORGIVE-ME-FOR-TYPING-THIS) Vishous' story lines to be too neatly wrapped up and tied off with a pretty bow. Furthermore, Qhuinn's premonition? Uh, perhaps I don't recall, but I thought that the only one who could see into the future was V. That felt kind of like it came out of left field. Let's see...what else? I had several issues with this book but mostly it's that it was nowhere near as strong as many of the other books. Hell, I was really disappointed with Phury's book and this one is just a notch BELOW it for me.

Yeah, I wasn't fond of it.

It didn't even move us along in the BDB world! I don't really care a whole lot about the whole Lesser thing, but I didn't really get too much out of the epic battle that's to come, other than Xcor's potential involvement. Is it that the antagonist in this series will now be a new batch of non-Brotherhood warriors and not so much the Omega's lessers? I am Le Confuzzled.

And wait...shouldn't we have gotten a little more insight on Mhurder? For some reason, I thought we'd know more about him in this book.

*sigh*

Lover Unleashed gets a C- from me (also known as a "Meh") and that's really disappointing because I adore this series as a whole and expected so much more.

Great, as all the books in the series. Payne and Manny are a wonderful couple and their relationships are charming and touching. Interesting plot, as well as funny appearances of the characters from the previous books and new heroes. I enjoyed every page of this book and consider it as a must-read!
