Lover Unbound is
another instalment of the Black Dagger Brotherhood in their
continuing quest to protect the vampire race from the lessening
society and the Omega's goal to destroy them all..
Well, kinda. With the
fore-lesser dead in Lover Revealed the lessening society is even less effective than
it was before. And virtually absent in this book. You run into a
couple now and then for random drive by murdering
But the Scribe Virgin
is worried. The deity of the vampires is concerned that there remains
only 5 Brothers to defend the entire race. In the past, the
Brotherhood would mate with the Chosen, a select order of sequestered
females dedicated to the Scribe Virgin, to produce more Chosen and
Brothers, but that hasn't happened for centuries. The numbers of both
are dwindling and without more warriors the Brotherhood, and the
whole vampire species is doomed.
So she needs a new Primale – one of the Brotherhood to go among the children and begin having many many babies. And she chooses her actual son, Vishous, to be the prospective daddy.
But Vishous is not
willing. Aside from his less than enthusiastic relationship with sex,
he has kidnapped his own true love, his own mate (yes, kidnapped.
We'll get to that) who he wants to be with, despite her being human.
He also has to reconcile his long and tortured past with the
knowledge that his mother, actual flesh and blood mother, was their
species' deity and she did nothing to help him as he was tortured,
mutilated and abused for decades.
