[def:Qhuay {kuh-oo-ay} the most highly anticipated relationship (hopefully) between Qhuinn and Blay dubbed Qhuay]


Like most relationships, I’ve had my ups and downs with the brothers, but damn if I just can’t say no, and mutter ‘ I wish I could quit you’. I prayed Ward wouldn’t let me down even going to far as to light all my candles and make a few wishes. So I took a yoga breath, made sure I went potty, and told Mr. Smokin’ to piss off for four hours. I. Was. In. The. Zone.

The ‘Sitch’

Lover Mine begins with a delicious trifecta of man meat, aka. JM, Qhuinn, and Blay.  Lover Avenged, left us with a whopper of a cliffhanger as Xhex had been kidnapped by Lash – which leaves John Matthew thinking that Xhex isn’t going to be coming back. Thus why he is in a tattoo parlor with V’s secret concoction of ink wanting to immortalize her on his skin. Permanently. (starts fanning self). Meanwhile, Xhex is in an invisible prison, being roughed up by that sick, rat-bastard Lash. Whoa, he is one sick puppy and I can’t for the Brothers to end his ass, True. Bruised and starving, Xhex wishes she hadn’t left things as they were with John Matthew (Smokinhot Cliff Note: remember she wouldn’t let JM kiss her during sexy time).  

Meanwhile Blay is in love with Qhuinn, and Quinn is well, still being Quinn, meaning he’s sexin’ his way through the human and ‘civilian’ female populations. It seems the only person that Qhuinn won’t sleep with is Blay. Qhuinn, in his typical fashion, knows that Blay has feelings for him but all he can offer is a fist bump and a decanter of liquid fire. He can’t give up his dream at leading a normal life. (the glymera will never accept a homosexual Brother with two different colored eyes). Qhuinn just can’t keep his feelings bottled up for much longer especially when Blay meets his cousin Saxton. (FYI Saxton is a charmingly sexy man!)

This Book was ‘Boss’

Lover Mine is probably Ward’s best book to date and makes up for any  disappointments I may have felt with previous AZ* BDB books. (Smokinhot Cliff Note: AZ =After Zadist).

Xhex:

John, she said softty.
He paused and looked over his shoulder toward the bed.

“I love you.”

His handsome face tightened in pain, and he rubbed the middle of his chest, as if someone had fisted up his heart and squeezed it dead.

And then he turned away. 

As she hit the confines of her prison…

She was screaming at the top of her lungs. 

 

John Matthew

John locked eyes with her and was instantly transported to a different plane of existence. Mighta been heaven again. Who the f*ck knew or cared. All he knew was that there was only her and him together, the rest of the world drifting away in a fog.

Was it possible to fall in love with someone twice, he wondered dimly.

 

JM has always been my favorite Brother and I liked that Ward didn’t try and get all angsty’ with Xhex & JM’s relationship. After surviving a trauma that would destroy most others, they deserved a little happiness; they’d been through enough. And let’s face it, my poor heart couldn’t take another rodeo down heartache lane. ( cries out ‘Qhuay’)

Blay:

(Qhuinn the ho’, is having sexy-time…again)

Better than the full bifta. Especially because Qhuinn was beautiful to watch when he had sex. Just….beautitful.
Back when Blay had tried to do the hetero thing, the two had tag-teamed a number of human females – not that he could have recalled any of the women’s faces, bodies, or names. It had always been about Qhuinn for him. Always.

 

For those you sitting on the fence, wondering if you should shell out the mulah for hardback pricing of Lover Mine YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED (<– notice the caps for extra ‘I’m really serious guys’)! Ward gets back to her romance roots in LM and does a stellar performance with John Matthews story.

  1. K-Khan (The Other Half of Smokinhotbooks)

    You can’t see ,but I’ve just recently gotten back from a tattoo shop and had John Matthew tattooed across my upper back in the old language. Hope Mr. K doesn’t mind.

  2. @K-Khan I’ll be your wingman to pour the salt on your wounds.

  3. I love JR Ward’s series, and I CANT WAIT to read Lover Mine!

    Amber :)

  4. Great Review! I can’t wait to read this, but I don’t want to rush myself. I’ll have to try savoring it by reading 5 pages a day, like the heroine from Succubus Blues.

    I’m so excited! *squeal

  5. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Since the 4th book of the series I have been extremely disappointed with the series, though I have not yet read this one.

    MsM

  6. I guess Tohr’s mate will be No’One

    With a sob, I say B and Q will end up m/m/f

    It has been confirmed, Payne and Manny are next book.

    She has said – Murhder, Lassiter, Tohr will definitely get books. She hopes the shadow brothers get one.

  7. I think it would be better if Tohr doesn’t get a another mate, I can’t see him with anyone but Wellise. I know that sounds bad, but it would have to be someone seriously special.

    I hope B and Q get the m/m but Mandi I fear she will take the m/m/f thing.

    I am looking forward to Payne and Manny. I loved Manny from V’s book. He was pretty awesome.

    I hope Trez gets his own book, the little bit we got to see of him in “Covet” and “Lover Avenged” was not enough!

    Loved the review – my Lover Mine is on it’s way to me now. It is supposed to be here today!

    My fave Brother would have to be V, and a side of Butch. They are a package deal, true?

  8. *but like Mandi I fear it will be m/m/f.
    Sorry I hate it when I hit the submit button too quickly.

  9. K-Khan (The Other Half of Smokinhotbooks)

    @ Amber You won’t be disappointed!!!

    @ Nisha I secretly tried to do the slowly savor but I got greedy and stayed up until 1am to finish. I don’t think my boss appreciated my tiredness the next day. ;-)

    @ Elizabeth Jules Mason We too have been disappointed, thus the AZ (after Zadist) categorizations. This book is like her first few books in the series only 10x better!!

    @ Mandi I don’t likey that Tohr isn’t going to have Wellsie, I just don’t know if I’m ready for him to start dating anybody yet. It’s too soon. Qhuinn and Blay better get their own book!

    @ Lilly I concur, Tohr get’s Wellsie, end of story. My favorite has to be Rev and JM together…they’re my packaged deal. ;-)

  10. Hey:

    I’m glad you liked the book. I still haven’t read it yet. I’m waiting for my turn at the library. J.R. Ward became a library read for me AB (after Butch). Though I did buy Rehv’s book but that’s only because the hardcover was on the discount table at Wal-Greens for some ridiculously low price like $5.00 or something.

    I see all the great reviews, but I’m still leery on buying. I think it’s because of the misc. subplots that I’m hearing about. I want to make sure that the focus is back on the romance and all the subplots focus on the romance first. Plus, even though every one says how great Xhex is in this book, she was never one of my favorites. So I’m leery about that too!

  11. Ya’ll are really twisting my arm here…aren’t you. Gushing about these characters and making me want to go buy all of the series so I can read it and gush too.

  12. Great review! I loved the definitions :D ..I’m starting BDB this weekend – I’m so excited! Now I will be able to laugh and cry with the rest of yous all over the BDB brothers..

  13. @Amber Lehman you’ll love it ;)

    @Nisha I wish I would have done that.

    @Elizabeth Jules Mason trust me I felt the same way, Ward really brought it with Lover Mine.

    @Mandi I think Tohr and No’One will make for an interesting story especially considering who she is. I”m still sorta hoping she is Wellsie reincarnated.

    I had a feeling Ward was going to do the m/m/f route! Damn, I was so hoping she’d go all the way m/m/.

    @Lily I’m still not over the death of Wellsie, I’m still grieving.

    @Lynette Ward get’s back to her romance routes in LM, she doesn’t have as many side developments just Blay & Qhuinn which is interesting. She mainly focuses on Xhex and JM, also we get to see Xhex’s softer side. I liked that Ward didn’t try and pull the angsty angle overly much with JM & Xhex, it was about him finding her and her realizing (already) how much she truly cared for him. One of the best BDB books thus far.

    @Danielle Yockman We want to gush with you.

    @Heather (DarklyReading) Woo-hoo!!!!

  14. Great post! This series sounds great :) I haven’t read this series yet so I don’t have a favorite character. Hopefully I will be reading it soon.

  15. *sob* I’m still waiting on UPS man so I can beat the snot ask where my copy is.

  16. OMG! I soooo want to read this book! very nice review btw :D ~
    Although i love Blay+Qhuinn i think in the end its going to be a m/m/f *sobs*

  17. Rhage still claims the #1 spot as my favorite BDB member but Qhuinn and Blay are taking the lead after reading this book. Great review!

  18. I think ending the series with Tohr’s HEA would be a cool full-circle kinda thing. But man, thinking about this is making my no-LM-on-Kindle protest even harder to maintain! ;)

  19. @Raelena this is the series that started my paranormal romance addiction. I heart Ward!!!

    @Tori do you need more quotes to tide you over?

    @Beleth *sobs* no –> m/f/m we need m/m!

    @Sarah Rhage is a close second, Zadist is my tru love and now Blay & Qhuinn.

    @Kindlelicious I thought I saw that LM was going to be released in May for Kindle…right?

  20. Elaine R

    My favorite Brother is Rhage. Hell I even named my pit bull after him, spelling and all.

    I know the main characters need to have their own story, but it just seems like it took forever and a day to get to John Matthew’s story.

    # Will Blay and Qhuinn get their HEA? Will it be m/m or m/m/f? I’m really hoping Ward will go all the way m/m, quick somebody make a blog button!

    Unfortunately, I don’t think this is ever going to happen. I think if this were ever going to happen it would have been with Vishous and the cop (whose name escapes me right now).

    I wish we could just be done with Phury. He’s boring.

  21. *sigh* No. But thanks. Your so boss. ;P
    I’m just going to go buy another and fight over it all later.

  22. Since I’m just starting the series-so far my favorite is Wrath. I do so love a tortured hero. Something tells me that I’m going to fall in love with each brother I read about.

  23. I need Wellsie back. anything else will be stupid *sulks in the corner

    Blay and Q will get a HEA, and I sure want no female in there, I hope she only give us m/m

    Yup I guess it is payne next up, and I am sure she can keep coming up with new brothers all the time

  24. Regina S

    As much as I lovve all the Brothers, you always remember your first…..Wrath is first in my heart. It’s good to be the king!

  25. This is a fabulous review!! I’m still a little emotional from reading the book. I need a vacay to come down off my Lover Mine high. :)

  26. Wrath has always been my favorite… but, in LA, I totally fell in love with JM! I couldn’t help myself. How can you NOT love him????

  27. Ferishia

    Who do we think is going to be Tohr’s Mate? Ward in her message boards has said that Wellsie is not coming back so that leaves us with…..?
    I’m putting my money on No’One. :) She’s the only logical one IMO

    Will Blay and Qhuinn get their HEA? Will it be m/m or m/m/f? I’m really hoping Ward will go all the way m/m, quick somebody make a blog button!
    JR has already said that they will be (eventually after the BS) Each other’s HEA. However, I’m thinking it “might” involve Layla, so maybe M/M/F. But I would rather it stay M/M. :)

    Is Payne the next BDB book?
    Not sure, JR has a way of suprising us, but my “magic 8 ball” says “signs are good”. :D

    How many more ‘brothers’ are there to write about? Tohr, Lassister, I’am, …?
    I watched the new Vid were she talks about how many books, and she sees no ending yet. She talks about the Brother’s Training program re-starting and there will be new recruits. So, no def ending in sight. :D

  28. Ferishia

    @Fiction Vixen

    I’m already having withdrawals from it. I’ve currently started re-reading it. *face palm* sad I know. lol

  29. @Elaine R Is it wrong to seriously contemplate naming my future girl babies Wellisandra or Xhexandra…? That’s not weird right?

    @Colette A Buckeye Girl Reads You’ll love Zadist’s book it was my fav until LM came out.

    @Tori Dude I’m entering you in this contest!

    @blodeuedd we need to hit the forums and make sure Qhuinn and Blay stay m/m none of this m/f/m business!

    @Regina S ::sighs:: Wrath me hearts him.

    @Fiction Vixen *sobs* I know, right?! My heart said ouchie a few times.

    @Erin M JM is my favorite brother (now) – Qhuinn that hoe, is a close second.

    @Ferishia oh really? We’ll get a lot more books if Ward does the new recruit angle.

  30. K-Khan (The Other Half of Smokinhotbooks)

    @ FV, @ Ferisha I may have started to re-read it again. I can’t even move onto the other books I just bought. I’m obsessed with JM. :hides doodles on paper that have the initials JM + K-Khan:

  31. K-Khan (The Other Half of Smokinhotbooks)

    Layla is way too needy, and three’s a crowd anyway. Oh Qhuay, when will the heartache end!

  32. Ferishia

    @K.C. yep! New recruits mean more stories. Plus I CAN’T wait for Lassiter’s story. OMG, the little we saw of him was SO funny!

    OH I forgot, don’t enter me in your contest. I already have a signed copy coming sometime this week. lol So, that makes 2 hb copies I’ll have. yeah…I have issues but I couldn’t wait for that copy to arrive. lol

  33. Well, I am still on the waiting list for the rest, but I have gotten to Zadist and that was my favorite story so far. I will say this… I am SO disappointed…

    I was looking forward to your toy extravaganza acting out at least one scene or scene wanna be for this contest. *sigh* Guess I can’t have everything. I did enjoy your review… especially how you prepared for reading Lover Mine. :D

  34. Oh, and PS… yes I know you said you didn’t have toys. But NO toys at all? Really? *eyebrow raise* ;)

  35. What a great review, I loved everything you said & you said it well. If you asked me what my favorite book was it would be Rhage & Mary, but when you ask which Brother, I honestly can’t tell you. I love them each separately for many different reasons. I can’t just pick one, really I can’t I am in love with them all. And I have a free pass with my sweetie, that if ever they magically come life and one of them (I don’t care who) come knocking on my door, I will run right over him to get to them. Yes I am that bad!

  36. Myranda

    Ooooooo, I want to read this so bad! The Kindle issue has kept me LM-less or I’d have already finished the book! I don’t know about it being available in May because when you look it up, it shows no Kindle listing. I know someone emailed the publisher about the no kindle situation and they reccommended she buy and iPad. Grr… I may have to go buy the hardcover now, even though that’s just what the publishers want. It’s hard for me to choose my favorite Brother! I think it between JM and Zsadist. I love their strength in dealing with the Hell of their younger years. I’ve love JM since the very first book and I can’t wait to finally read his story.

  37. Ferishia

    If you go here:
    http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pages/publishersoffice/screeningroom/0110/projectparanormal/fallen_angels_phenomenon.html#vmix_media_id=13196520

    and scroll down, there is a vid of JR talking about LM. :) There is also a shorter version of it on AMZ under the book.

  38. @Melissa I blew it didn’t I? I had not toys laying around….well at least not for kids ;)

    @Trish Okay, hubs and I need to chat about this. I too want a get out of jail free card where I can sleep with one of the BDB brothers and/or Jared Leto

    @Myranda Is it available via Sony? I was chatting with some other peeps and I think if you can buy it on a Sony you might be able to drag it onto your Kindle…right?

  39. Gawd, I am so on the fence!! I was just talking to a friend the other day and reminiscing about back in the day and when I would run, not walk to the bookstore for one of Ward’s new releases. After being caught up in the waiting angst, remember that rush of releif when you finally had the book in your hands and you’ve cleared the day of anything else but the BDB? Wow, have times changed, at least for me.

    I’m just not into Ward and her world anymore. Hell, her Fallen Angels book….what was the title?…Can’t remember it nor have I even wanted to read it. Isn’t that crazy? And now with JM’s release, I’m just so-so. I’ve ordered the book but I know when I get it, I’m not going to be reading it anytime soon. Even with the great review you and Mandi delivered, I’m still like…whatever about it. I think I must be sick or something.

    Great review though and I’m glad you enjoyed it, KC. No need to enter me in the giveaway seeing as how this red monster is making its way to me right now.

    Sorry for the dapper comment.

    Hugs, VFG

  40. @VFG Oh my god Covet was a dud compared to LM. Ever since Zadist’s book I’ve haven’t really enjoyed the BDB books, but seriously you won’t be disappointed with LM, Ward focuses mainly on Xhex and JM’s relationship and Qhuinn & Blays. I think you’ll like it, no I just turned into a ghost but we can still be mates thingy, or talking wizards *crosses heart*

  41. I’m so angry with Qhuinn as this moment. I hope Blay gets his rocks off with Saxton.

    Team Qhuay though in the end.

  42. @Katiebabs when he left Blay high and dry with his pants down *sobs* he deserves to be punished ie Blay should loose his m/m v-card to Sax.

  43. Kickin’ review sister! Love your take on the BDB world! I gave the book 4.5 stars… I have to say I agree that it is by far the best AZ book… Loved that term.

    As for your questions… Mandi answered them all. But I do think that Blay and Qhuinn will get their HEA m/m style. They will still have to feed from a female – they cannot survive without it. I had read Ward was going to either put their story in a book or in a novella. Mandi told me tonight she read on Ward’s forums that she’ll probably do a novella.

    What will happen to poor Layla. I’m so sad for her right now. Poor, poor girl.

    My favorite brothers are Wrath and JM. I *heart* them both.

    OH and doesn’t Katiebabs have the Qhuay button? There is one out there!

  44. Jennifer M

    My favorite brother? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ What can I say – I’m such a sucker for deeply tortured heros.

    Tapping my toe impatiently – no Kindle version of Lover Mine yet. My poor carpal tunnel afflicted wrists really don’t like to hold heavy things so I rarely read hardbacks anymore, especially ones with 500+ pages. I’m so mad at the publishers. They are so busy trying to kill the ebook market to support of their short-term hardback profits that they forget that many of us choose to read ebooks because of physical limitations.

  45. @twimom227 Thanks to Ferishia’s video, Ward talked about making Qhuinn and Blay’s story a novella so there is hope it won’t turn into Qhayla!!!

    @Jennifer M funny b/c the hardback pricing is $10.00 (U.S) so if pubs had a kindle version for $9.00 or $8.00 they would still make a heavy profit. Right? I will make sure I go onto Amazon and hit contact publisher to make Kindle version.

  46. OK so my favorite Brother is Z. I love love love love Z. However, John-Matthew maaaayyyyyy have taken his place.
    And I am with you KC, there had better be no Qhayla!!!! Blay deserves his one and only who will adore him and treat him to the HEA he deserves!
    And lastly, I would like to hug JR Ward for giving us Lover Mine. And my copy is so beat up after my quick obsessive read that I would love to win another copy of it. I will cherish it!!!!
    Pamela

  47. Julie Swaney

    I love the Brotherhood books and I CAN’T WAIT to read John’s story. I just know Lover Mine has to be great. But then I thought all of J. R. Ward’s books were great.

    jellybelly82158 at gmail dot com

  48. “@Katiebabs when he left Blay high and dry with his pants down *sobs* he deserves to be punished ie Blay should loose his m/m v-card to Sax”

    OH MY GOD that broke MY HEART. Saxton ADORES Blay so he SO deserves Saxton right now even if he ultimately ends up with Qhuinn. I just hope good comes for Saxton since it seems that he’ll be getting squeezed outta that equation!!!

    Pamela

  49. Wrath is still my fave brother- he made me fall for this series but the combo of V and Butch…gotta love them together in a book

    I am dying to read the new book, I do hope eventualy Tohr will find a new mate, obviously Wellsie can not be replaced but hopefully he will get a second chance at love and I do hope Payne gets a book and will maybe be the first chick (kick ass) to become a “Brother”

    “@ FV, @ Ferisha I may have started to re-read it again. I can’t even move onto the other books I just bought. I’m obsessed with JM. :hides doodles on paper that have the initials JM + K-Khan:”

    This is exactly how I feel. I am sitting on two series I want to start and I simply can’t focus. I just want more LM and it doesn’t feel like I can MOVE ON from the damn book!

  51. Danielle: YOU NEED TO READ THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    :D
    Pamela

  52. Z and Rhev are still my faves, but I’m really excited about Xhex and JM’s book!

    And Blay/Qhuinn, of course!

  53. Where is my comment? I thought I posted it a few days ago. Smokinhot, your blog doesn’t like me. Can’t remember what I really said either. Hmmmm….

    FOR NOW, LOVER MINE WAS off the chain, blow your mind, out of this world, damn J.R. Ward is so talented, how in the hell am I gonna be ab ale to wait for the next book GOOD! I mean seriously. If I do the girlie sqeal one more time, I may loose my voice.

    Oh yes, before LOVER MINE I was never really on Team Qhuay, but was starting to get it. Now, I’m grabbing my pom poms, raising my spirit fingers and rooting them on all the way. Hoping we in end with an m/m (not m/m/f – meh) sitch too.

    Great review, Smokin!!

  54. Amber S

    As it’s only Quinn for Blay, it’s only JM for me. So happy he finally gets an HEA! I preordered this book in January but Borders screwed me over so I desperately need a copy, lol

  55. @Tracy “spirit fingers” I’m dying with lols!!! I will make sure to spank my blog for eating your comment how dare she do that to you!

    I would love if anyone knew when the next BDB book is supposedly due out for release? See how I rely on all of you for the latest 411 *bats lashes*

  56. I just started Phury’s book this week and I’m sloshing my way thru, making the best of it since there is so much JM/Qhuay as well as that juice purple-eyed pimp Rhev to get me through it…since fo sho, I want to smack Brother Phury on the head and scream, GET WITH IT GDIT! Sheesh, anywho…I’m not sure who Tohr will end up with, me maybe?
    My favorite broter is hands down, Vishous. He is smart, kinky and has a goatee so, SOLD!
    I can’t wai to read LM! Loved your review!
    ps- no need to enter me in the contest, gracias. :)

  57. @Mar can’t wait until you read LM so we can gush, in real time, on twitter.

  58. Mar:
    Sorry we’re drowning you in LM commentary on Twitter, I know you’re trying to get through to it, and I hope we haven’t built it up too much, but seriously, you’re not gonna be disappointed :D
    Happy Reading!!!! Phury’s the tough one to get through but you’re almost there :D
    Pamela

  59. jaymzangel

    ah, you had me at ‘delicious trifecta of man meat’ *drooly grin*

    hehe, love the review & as for the Qs:

    I think Tohr’s HEA will be No’One

    I categorically refuse, RE-FUSE! to acknowledge any HEA (for Blay & Qhuinn) other than the duo that is QHUAY

    Payne & Manny are up next

    as I refuse to even entertain the notion that the BDB series will EVER end, I have no answer to this other than: I want them all, bring it on!

  60. I had to wait to comment til after I read the book. You are so right about this book. SO worth the hardcover money….SO worth it. I will be rereading this one several times.

    I got my Z fix a couple of times in it:) SOOO fricking much going on in it…. Payne, Murhder (sp), Quinn/Blay geesh, just slap me now.

    I loved all the books, but Phury’s. I don’t know why, but that one bogged me down except for the fact that Z was in it. LOL I thought he was kind of whiny.

    All the fight scenes with John and Xhex together were AWESOME…a cool take on the fights when they would watch each other.

  61. Jesse

    SOOOO right on with this book. JR gets back to her roots and those of Darius….it was jaw dropping fantastic…the last 40 pages were bittersweet as I did not want the book to end but had to keep reading to get it done! This is by FAR the best book in the series, and I ‘m a HUGE Wrath and Z fan! I was unsure about Xhex going into this book as she has not been one of my favorite people, but I love her now as much as I do JM/Darius – one whole! She also introduces some new (yet OLD) characters in this book, leaving me with the relief that there are at least 4 – 5 more books to come. Cheers to JR Ward…you got this one 100%!

  62. Tom's GG

    Dead On Review!! Couldn’t agree more about this being the “best AZ” book… though Z/B will always be my OTP! Ward Rocked this book and has regained my complete and total respect. I was counting down since Jan. for this one, went out at my lunch on the 27th to buy it so I didn’t go home w/o it, and stayed up till 2. Being a mom it took me till Thurs. to get the job done, but I loved every minute of it! Now I just can’t wait to get me some more “Qhuay* <3 I'm afraid I agree though that it will end up M/M/F *sobs* I'm also pretty sure they won't get their own book, so we'll be forced to read their relationship b/w the lines of the others.

  63. I’m not over Wellsie’s death either! And I certainly don’t want to see Tohr with anybody else. Maybe when we learn more about No’one I’ll change my mind, but I don’t think so. Lover Mine wasn’t my favorite BDB book, but I still enjoyed it. I really liked the flashbacks to Darius and Tohr and I hope she’ll do more of this in future books.

  64. I hope J.R. doesn’t go the m/m/f route with Qhuinn and Blay. I asked her about that relationship at a book signing this past spring. She said that she would probably put them in a novella instead of a complete book (bummer!) since she wasn’t sure how some people would take that M/M storyline. I was glad it was to continue somewhere but also a little disappointed that it wouldn’t be a huge book. My thought is c’mon it’s the 21st century. I think we can take it and then some. I think all of her readers can take it. I really do hope she changes her mind on that one. BTW, for those of you who really want to read a story about Qhuay before that check out the blog Date with Destiny. Heather M. has created a fan fiction beginning where J.R.left off in Lover Mine. I am salivating just waiting to read it all the way through. The pages I have read are awesome!

  65. @Anita I hope Ward doesn’t go the m/m/f route :( but since the brother’s need blood from the opposite sex I can see her trying that angle *sighs*

  66. I never thought of the blood requirement! Bummer! I want these two to have true love with no others attached. But you are probably right what with them having to feed.

  67. @Anita maybe they can have the Chosen on speed dial *crosses fingers* and won’t have to get all hanky panky with any girl

  68. K.C., I so hope you are right!!! I’ve crossed fingers, toes, anything I can cross for that wish!
