Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood #5) by J.R. Ward

Lover Unbound (J.R. Ward)

SUMMARY

The ruthless and brilliant brother Vishous possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time-until a destiny he didn't choose takes him into a future that does not include her...

MY REVIEW

Vishous and Jane

There was a moment of silence. And then in a rough voice, the man whose life she saved spoke four words that changed everything… changed her life, changed her destiny:
"She. Comes. With. Me."

These two characters had a complicated relationship from the beginning. Vishous was saved by Dr. Jane and then he simply decided to take her back to the mansion.
Jane’s life is about to change forever. One day she was career-focused, successful and independent. The next day is locked is a strange room in a strange place with a strange man with a strange blood type and strange fangs. But apparently she is attracted to him.

Stockholm syndrome anyone?

Jane:

“Stop it.
Do not feel safe with him. The Stockholm syndrome is not your friend.”

Vishous has never had an easy existence. The son of a bloodthirsty, sadist warrior and a goddess (who apparently is not really a virgin) loves his kinks, loves his brothers and loves his vodka.
He may had a extraordinary brotherly/maybe a hint of sexual relationship with Butch, but he really needed a woman in his life. It does not matter that Jane is not that beautiful or she is slightly cold. Vishous wants her and he wants to protect her.

He pulled back and pressed his lips to hers. "I love you. And I'm going to keep loving you even after you don't know I exist."
Her lashes flickered, catching her tears until there were too many to hold. He brushed his thumbs over her face.
"V… I…"
He waited for a heartbeat. When she didn't finish, he took her chin in his palm and looked into her eyes.

Vishous, the world's most famous bisexual vampire, is in love.

Now that I am doing rereads, I realize the strength of the love the BDB characters felt when they met their other half for the first time.
I desperately need another book with Vishous and Jane, because both of them need to remember how much they love each other without the complications that time and everyday habit usually bring.
