'Utterly absorbing and deliciously erotic' Angela Knight

'Hot, sexy, unique, intriguingly wicked' Christine Feehan

Return to the dark and sexy Black Dagger Brotherhood world in this second prison camp installment from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward . . .

Rio Hernandez-Guerrero has been working undercover to bring down Caldwell's worst drug lord, the elusive and sadistic Mozart. She knows she's finally getting close to him when she's ordered to negotiate a massive deal with a shadowy supplier. But what shows up at the meeting . . . is nothing she expects.

Betrayed by his clan, Lucan was locked up decades ago for the crime of being both wolven and vampire. Forced to engage in drug-dealing by the prison camp's despot, he is not looking for anything more complicated in his cold and isolated life. But then a human woman, with a stare that tames him, crosses his path . . .

Rio captures a predator's heart, but they both have secrets that threaten not only their fate as soulmates but their very lives. Will they find a way to win at the deadly game they're both playing . . . or will their inner natures shatter their love?

Following on from The Jackal, the first of the Black Dagger Prison Camp stories, this book finds wolven Luc making drug deals for The Executioner, the ruler of the illegal prison camp. He ends up saving undercover cop Rio and hiding her out at the camp. The B story follows Butch's old partner Jose and his encroaching retirement.
it's another great story from J R Ward, and I like that she is expanding the Brotherhood universe with this spin off and the claimed series.
As always there's action, intrigue, in depth characters, humour and electric romance.
Great stuff.

Howlingly Good Read

Expect a fast paced, adrenaline infused, addictive ride. Personally I'd award this writer a literary gold medal for her ability to still keep me hanging on for yet another instalment in the Black Dagger Brotherhood universe, with high class story telling, that's wonderfully exciting to read and listen to.

Couldn't stop listening
