The sensitive issue of first love versus second love is handled wonderfully.

As the Brotherhood starts to fight new enemies and Caldwell becomes a battleground for the future of the Race, Tohr and No’One have to learn forgiveness and accept the possible futures before them as they race to prevent disaster from happening.Īs a romance, to me, Tohr and No’One are a home run. But this is not an easy journey and as the two emotionally scarred characters start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, Tohr puts them in a position where they are almost all lost. In order for Tohr, Wellsie, and No’One to be saved, Tohr and No’One must come to terms with their pasts – both separate and together. As he keeps his emotions disengaged, Wellsie and his unborn son slip further and further away. Obviously, that doesn’t work out too well for him. Though Tohr doesn’t think he will ever love anyone but Wellsie, he hopes that by “going through the motions” with No’One, he can help Wellsie move into the Fade. When the Fallen Angel Lassiter tells Tohr that he has to learn to let Wellsie go and love another to save Wellsie’s after life, Tohr can’t imagine it ever happening.īut a ghost from Tohrment’s past, No’One, starts to give Tohr hope that he can save his Wellsie. A year later, he is now back with the Brothers trying to rejoin life for the sake of his adopted son, John Matthew, but he has no interest in living anymore. When Wellsie was tragically taken from him, his torment became worse than all the other Brothers and he disappeared from the Brotherhood. He had a happy mating with his shellan, Wellsie, and he was the one steady and responsible Brother. He wasn’t living with a curse and, ironically, wasn’t tormented by his past. In the beginning of the series, Tohrment was the only “normal” Brother. In reading Lover Reborn, the latest in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, never once did I worry about the review and I was never pulled out of the story and that is how I know it was a great read. To me, that is what makes the difference between a good book and a great one. She suggested that concentrating on the ins and outs would take too much away from the story and ruin the reading experience. A friend asked me how I can review books and whether or not doing so destroyed my enjoyment of the story.
