Bookish Eye Candy: Vishous – Lover Unbound

Okay we still got a few Black Dagger books to go and this week is Vishous’ turn. I always like Vishous in a strange kind of way but I have to say I was not so happy with his book especially the end. But nevermind here is the book:

Lover Unbound
by 
J.R. Ward 

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…
