Book Review: Lover Enthroned by J.R. Ward

As soon as I picked up Lover Enthroned, I never wanted to put it down. I loved everything I learned about Allhan and Denne, and all the twists and turns along the way. This was such an exciting story in a world I love, and I could not get enough!

synopsis_thumb2_thumb
In the newest paranormal romance in #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, star-crossed lovers face the battles of their lives...in the midst of war with the Lessening Society.

Allhan, a computer genius who works for the Brotherhood, has a deadly secret. Torn between what he must do and his increasing attachment to Vishous, he’s not looking for any more complications in his life. He’s not going to survive the one he has.

A Royal Future

Princess Dennesha, heir to the throne of the Shadows, is a live-and-let-die kind of female. At least until she finds herself tangling in the destiny of a human—even though it goes against her every instinct and all common sense.

A Terrible Choice

When Allhan and Denne meet by chance, their passion is undeniable. But a rare astrological event triggers a crossroads for the Princess to choose between love and duty: either mate a male she doesn’t love and assume the throne, or stay true to her heart and condemn the Territory to destruction. With Allhan fighting his conscience—and a
lesser who’s after Wrath and the Brothers—can the two find a way out of their fates? Or are they doomed to grieve a love that could never be for eternity…


5 out of 5 stars

Lover Enthroned was such a fantastic story! I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood world and how it pulls me in. It’s like I’m hanging out with old friends, and it’s just an easy and inviting place to be. I was immediately invested and excited about what was being laid out. I couldn’t get enough of the characters, the different POVs and storylines, and the incredible build. Every single one of these things had me hooked. This is one of my all-time favorite series, and this book was an excellent addition.

Denne and Allhan have my heart. Up until now, Allhan had seemed like a sweet yet timid, slightly awkward kid, but with this book, everything about him was revealed. There were so many things learned that I did not see coming, and I was here for it. It was exciting as the details of his past came to light and learning what he was trying to accomplish. I loved watching him really grow and come into himself. Denne was just kickass! She seemed a little lost in the beginning, but that changed in a big way, and it was all thrilling. There was fantastic development as everything was learned about her path in life and the twists and turns that came along with it. And of course, how it connected to Allhan. The two of them together were incredible. They had a sweet and subtle relationship in the beginning, but there was this undeniable pull between them, and I loved their building feelings and how everything exploded between them in the way it does for the vampires of this world and those dark spices started spicing. I adored the story of them coming together.

In true J.R. Ward fashion, there was more than Denne and Allhan’s story happening, and I loved the alternating storylines and POVs, and I couldn’t wait for who I would hear from next and how things would connect. I loved everything that had to do with Vishous and him coming to terms with his feelings about Allhan. There were so many emotions in play, and he actually had me choking up. I was happy to see iAm again as well and loved his devotion to his family. I loved the depth and details that really helped to create a full, rich story. I was thrilled to get more insight on L.W. and understand more about his internal battle. I cannot wait for his book! I also loved mentions of past Brothers and characters and how they added so much to the story for me.

From start to finish, I was captivated. This was a book I couldn’t read fast enough, and yet I never wanted it to end. There was great drama and intensity, and emotion and humor laced throughout. I’m a huge fan of reading in order, but since there are a lot of books in this series, I feel like you could jump in with this one and not feel lost. Loved it all!
