About this ebook
The aristocracy is making a run for the throne in this star-crossed paranormal romance entry in J.R. Ward’s “delicious, erotic, and thrilling” (Nicole Jordan, New York Times bestselling author) #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
When Lyric goes out for a night in Caldwell, New York, a brush with death is not on her bingo card—and she’s totally not ready for the man who risks his own life by shielding her with his very big, very enticing body. Her family, especially her sire Qhuinn, are so relieved she’s okay, but afterward, all she can think about is her mysterious savior.
Even though humans and vampires are not supposed to mix, Lyric seeks out Devlin, and they are immediately drawn to each other. Her near-death experience gives her a fresh thirst for life. Devlin finds it impossible to continue his loner ways whenever he looks into her eyes. As passion ignites, both have their own reasons for keeping things short-term—and that’s before a betrayal that cuts to the core tears them apart.
In the end, as the Black Dagger Brotherhood hunts a traitor, and terrible truths are revealed, Lyric has to decide whether the forbidden can ever be forgiven…in the name of true love.

LOVER FORBIDDEN is the 23 book in JR Ward’s contemporary, adult BLACKDAGGER BROTHERHOOD paranormal, romance series.This is Lyric and Dev's storyline. LOVER FORBIDDEN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, acceptance and love. The premise is detailed, dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated but struggles in the face of perceived betrayal and revelations of heartbreak and lies; the characters are numerous, charismatic and energetic.

AWESOME AS ALWAYS! I've read every single book written in this series & every other series/books written. Once I pick the book up I can't put it down..... I'll start right after dinner, though I'll have been thinking about it most of day - excited to get started! I will stay awake ALL NIGHT and into next day until it's finished. And I am NEVER Disappointed! NEVER! Can't wait for the next one!

I enjoyed most of this book, but it felt too short, as if half the story was left out. There was way too much filler that didn't need to be there and not enough depth that was needed to make the story complete. Not Wards best by far.
