Phury’s devotion to the Black Dagger Brotherhood moved him to commit himself as Primale to the Chosen.  As Primale he is responsible for fathering sons and daughters on the Chosen so that his race will remain strong and survive. 

Chosen Cormia, Phury’s first mate wants what her vows strictly forbid her from having. Cormia wants Phury all to herself.  She wants him body and soul.  Although Phury has never allowed himself to come first, his desire for Cormia will force him to decide between his responsibility to his race and his own heart’s desire.

After finishing Lover Enshrined I had one immediate thought, mainstream fiction.  Yes, there is still the romantic element in Lover Enshrined, however, it is secondary to the story.  Trust me, it’s totally ok.  The story doesn’t even need romance to keep me enthralled.

J.R. Ward addresses some tough issues in this volume of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, which makes Lover Enshrined a gritty, visceral and emotional novel which I Joyfully Recommend.  I absolutely loved every page and am a slavering idiot for more!
