Lover Eternal (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #2)

note: February 6th 2011
I read this book almost 1,5 years ago and it's the only book of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series that I hadn't written a review for. Which is strange because this is the book that sealed the deal for me.
I had just finished Dark Lover a week before and despite of the fact that I wasn't actually loving it, I was pleasantly surprised and positively intrigued by the Brotherhood. I was especially captivated by the mystery that was Zsadist and wanted to get to his book as soon as possible.
So Lover Eternal would be a transition book of sorts. Rhage didn't really push any of my buttons and I wasn't necessarily jumping up and down to find out what would happen to him, just anxious to get to Z's story already.
Needless to say: this book was a very pleasant surprise. I really liked the story, I loved Rhage and liked Mary (although her Wondergirl act does get on my nerves as the series continues- the girl can do literally everything!).
The book was engaging, romantic and at times funny. A very good -almost classic- PNR book which actually made me cry too. And I don't cry easily.
A great read: 4 stars.

By the way: can you say 'classical PNR'. I mean sort of (proto)typical, but that sounds bad.
And yes, it was absolutely a classic PNR, luckily just an exceptional one.
Have you read the Christine Feehan 'Carpathian' series? Also PNR, but I just didn't like it as much. It was sorta trite.
No I haven't read the Carpathian series. I have read reviews and comments on it and figured it wouldn't be my thing.
I honestly don't like most PNR. I only like it when it's edgy (like the BDB) or really funny (like the IAD). Anything else I usually find too clichéd or cheesy...
