“Here was the thing: People felt the way they did and it wasn’t their fault or yours if the connection was one-sided. It just . . . was.”

Lover Mine (BDB #8) - J.R. Ward
★ ★ ★ ★ ★/5
It'sss baaackkk. Yes yes I am on my paranormal romance kick once again (it's only been 8 months). This book focuses on everyone's fav new vampire, John Mathew! He's just angrier this time around (you know, males) as he tries to find his lover, Xhex, who is being held captive by a despicable piece of shit, Lash. Because this is a romance novel (for the most part), they are reunited. Xhex freed herself though because that's just the badass bitch she is. However, being a BAMF doesn't exempt her from trauma (unfortunately). As her and John compete over who gets to kill Lash first, they realize that not only are they trauma bonded, but they're also actually mates and can't live without each other (duh). I love the understanding between these two, espeically when it comes to the trauma they've endured. Neither of them is seen as lesser because of what they've been through, no matter how fucked up. They're survivors who will have to live with what happened to them for the rest of their lives, but they'll get through it together, which is sweet, in a way. There were a couple of other storylines going on as well that were interesting. We find out that John (and Bella's) dad actually knew Xhex when she was a baby and placed her with her adoptive family (Tohr too, who is basically John's surrogate dad so like... weird connection there). There's also Blay and Qhuinn and all their sexual tensions. I hope these boys woman the fuck up and talk to each other because my god are they so blind to each other's feelings (again, males). Once again, I definitely read this for the plot ;)
