Dark Lover by J.R. WardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
So my mum recommended this series to me, and she has never steered me wrong when it comes to books, so off I went to raid her bookshelf.
I quite enjoyed this book. If you are looking for a book with a strong plot that has a star middle and an end to it these may not be for you (I'm already on book 3). These books are centered on the couples rather than the on going problems that they have with their enemies. I know some people has said that there are too many characters all being introduced at the same time and feel like they can't then for an image in their mind as to what is going on; but having read book two already and currently being on three, I would say if you read book one and feel that way keep reading. To me, this book isn't just Wrath and Beth's book, it's also the introduction into this world. The following books really start to flesh out the characters and start developing the different story lines. So they are definitely worth sticking with.
I feel that this is a great start to a series, that has a lot of potential to develop and create some amazing characters. I highly recommend checking these out.

Lover Eternal by J.R. WardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved this book.
I like how with this series, each book continues the story arc of the battle, war... (is that the right word?) with the Lessers, and yet each time focuses on a different main character. I think its a great way for readers to get know the characters better as you spend the majority of the book seeing through their eyes and being in their head, and you therefore feel that these are very three dimensional characters.
This book focused on Rhage, and his story. We learn a more about his past and his beast, and how he ended up with the curse to begin with. This book really help you understand his character more. I book one, he is seen as the good looking one that is with a different woman every night; in this installment we learn that there are reasons for this. I enjoyed how the author has taken this Warrior character and shown a softer side. I like how all the characters in these books have a lot of layers to them and can develop and create some really interesting stories.
I would definitely recommend this series, although I suggest reading them in order.
