A vampire aristocrat, Peyton is well aware of his duty to his bloodline: mate with an appropriate female of his class and carry on his family’s traditions. And he thought he’d found his perfect match—until she fell in love with someone else. Yet when his split-second decision in a battle with the enemy endangers the life of another trainee, Peyton has to face the idea that his future, and his heart, actually lie with another.

Novo, as a female in the Black Dagger Brotherhood’s training program, feels like she has to prove herself to everybody—and she has no interest in being distracted by falling in love. But when Peyton proves to be so much more than a rich playboy, she is forced to confront the tragedy that has broken her soul and closed her off from love.

As the two grapple with Novo’s past and Peyton’s present, another couple must contend with an erotic connection that is unparalleled—and potentially scandalous.

Saxton, who has had his heart broken, discovers in himself a deep-seated attraction to Ruhn, a new member of the household. But will the other male explore the connection? Or will he close his mind and his heart to what could be true love . . . and cost Saxton everything?

Blood Fury is another great addition to this series! It once again brings back the true essence of the Black Dagger novels: romance, action, humor, and a little bit of angst. The fast pace and great writing make this for a very entertaining read.

The novel focuses on two couples this time around: Peyton/Novo and Saxton/Ruhn. As it is to be expected, Saxton and Ruhn totally steal the show. The relationship progression between the two of them is lovely and sweet, especially with Ruhn’s past and everything that’s happened to Saxton in the BDB series. Although the way Ward writes queer sex is… not… that great.

The Peyton/Novo arc is interesting, but it doesn’t really grasp your attention for the most part. It isn’t until over halfway through the novel that it really seems like they’re connecting. Novo’s bisexuality is kind of downplayed through all of it, which… is not good.

Still, this is a pretty nice PNR Romance novel. Definitely worth it if you’re a fan of the BDB series and/or are looking for M/M Paranormal novels.
