I wish that page time had been spent checking in with Blay and Qhuinn or more with Xcor and Layla. I didn’t care about their story and they got sooooo much page time. I’ve never connected with Assail in previous books and likewise Sola does nothing for me. Ward actually used the word ‘Couch-icopters” and “Wrath-Beth x Overnight = Psyco-hose Beast.” Love.Īssail and Sola: Bored me to tears. Favorite part of Beth and Wrath – when Wrath wakes up from being knocked out and Beth isn’t there and he goes into that total rage that demolishes the pool room. I want a female to go into needing in every book.

And I have to say – I love a good needing phase. She has a son, Wrath jr or L.W (little wrath). Maybe Beth’s pregnancy got bumped along a little too fast – but the book was 600 some pages so I guess we didn’t need every moment of her pregnancy. Looking back I don’t have any complaints about these two.

Wrath getting advice from Tohr – the male who lost his mate and his unborn child. All of this together – it worked really well for me. Wrath’s pure exhaustion with being King and all the crap that comes with it. Keeping things from Wrath so he doesn’t know what she is doing. I will never get you pregnant.”īeth’s determination though wins – she sits with Layla for hours a day in hopes to kick start her needing. “I can’t….I can’t believe you just said that.” Now it was her turn to breathe out like she’d been socked in the gut. “I need you to hear this,” he said in a dead voice, “and know that it’s the God’s honest. Wrath’s terror at the thought of Beth being pregnant.

I enjoyed all of their interactions in this book. And I think pregnancy drama was expected. The King by JR Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood #12)īeth and Wrath: I think we all knew coming into this book, we would see a mating between Beth and Wrath (‘Bath?’) that was going to go through a bumpy road.
