Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward

Summary: Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard living, ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, Marissa, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers...

Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, he's found by a miracle, and the Brotherhood calls Marissa to bring him back. But even her love may not be enough to save him...

Review: Butch is probably still my least favorite in the group. I was dreading reading this book because I don't like Butch all that much. I never thought the book itself was going to be bad. I just didn't want to read about Butch. Lover Revealed helped to bring up my opinion of Butch. I wonder if his family will be mentioned in future books. I liked Marissa for the most part. She annoyed me at the end though. I won't say why because of spoilers, but she really started to annoy me. I am beyond ready for Lover Unbound though, and I'm really happy that we got introduced to Xhex too. I don't think I'm going to like her very much, but I really want to know why she and Rehv are the way they are.
